Re: [mpls-linux-general] BETA: mpls-linux 1.128

[Steven V. d. B. <ste...@in...>]

The scenario i was looking at looks like (ingress LER):

* use ingress queueing to meter/police traffic and mark traffic internally to 
a certain DSCP (i.e. set tcindex)

* use firewall to classify <src, dst, whatever you can give me) and select 
output opcode chain

* use tc_fwd to select outgoing label/exp/outgoing interface based on tcindex 
(so firewalling points to tc_fwd instruction, and tc_fwd intruction maps each 
tcindex to the correct push(label):set_exp(exp):set(inteface).

So, is this a valid scenario for the use of tc_fwd ?

Cheers,
Steven
