Re: [mpls-linux-general] Integration with Zebra?

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

I'm working on a mplsd for zebra.  So far I'm concentrating on 'static'
LSPs and MPLS tunnel interfaces.  Basically I want to provide all of the
functionality of mplsadm in zebra.

Eventual I would like to do more integration.  Yon created a zebra
porting layer for ldp-portable.  After 'static' LSP support is finished I
plan to move on to finishing the LDP support for zebra.  Once that is in place
I can try and make BGP and LDP work together to establish MPLS VPNs.
That is a long way off though, simply because I don't have enough time.

Although if people were will to help ....  :-)
