[mpls-linux-general] fec binding

[Yon U. <hav...@gm...>]

Hello,

 I've just catched up some months list life. I see with concern that it
is no longer possible to bind a routing table entry to a label.

 Isn't the semantic of vanilla (ip routing table driven) ldp the longest
match selection? The FTN mib matches the iptables format almost perfectly
otherwise. But for longest match selection it is not very adequate. For
example, given the routing table
1.1.1.0/24
1.2.0.0/16
1.0.0.0/8
and a ldp mapping for 1.0.0.0/8 at least 3 iptables entries have to be
created:
-d 1.1.1.0/24 -j RETURN
-d 1.2.0.0/16 -j RETURN
-d 1.0.0.0/8 -j MPLS

 And I guess implementing this fec -> iptables behavior in the guts of the
ports will be kind of a pain.

 Or are my assumptions about semantics wrong?

TIA, HAND
