[mpls-linux-general] How do you want to use TC with MPLS?

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

Hello all,

I'm working on testing some of the feature I've added recently, and I just
realized I have no idea how anyone would use them.  So I'm asking all of you
how do you want to use the features of TC with MPLS?  Are the feature provided
by iptables more apt for being used with MPLS?

One way I know people want to use TC and MPLS is with respect to
DiffServ.   Using the DSCP to determine which LSP (L-LSP) or which EXP/LSP
(E-LSP) a packet should be sent with, then mapping the LSP or EXP/LSP
back to a DSCP at egress.  But what about the LSRs?  Don't they need to
do special queuing?  How does TC accomplish special queing without MPLS?
How should it work with MPLS?

Thanks,
Jim

PS Yes Olivier, I'm now starting to catch up with you, soon I'll understand why
your iptables work is so useful :-)

PPS Please Steven respond and explain how you made your DiffServ stuff work
