[mpls-linux-general] BETA: mpls-linux 1.127

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

A new beta is availble for download via CVS (tag mpls-linux_1_127).

Bug fixes
Locking
Better refence counting
Layer 2 Cross Connects (ethernet, port mode)

NOTE: There are a LOT of changes in this code.  None of these changes
are documented.  Look back in the archive to see the previous mpls-linux 1.1
annoucements form more info.  (if someone wants to write a CHANGES doc
from 1.0 to 1.1 that would be great!!)

The big change in this version is L2CCs.  To use:

Ingress LER:

mplsadm2 -A -O gen:16:eth1:ipv4:11.0.1.2
mplsadm2 -B -O key:0x2 -2 eth:eth2:port

Egress LER:

mplsadm2 -L eth1:0
mplsadm2 -A -I gen:16:0
mplsadm2 -B -I gen:16:0 -2 eth:eth3:port

The result is that all packet arriving on the ingress port (eth2)
get shipped across the LSP, and sent egress port (eth3) unchanged.

Do not enable any L3 protocols on the ingress interface.  Just do an 
'ifconfig eth2 up'.

What is this for?  Read draft-martini and you'll see where I'm going.
