Re: [mpls-linux-general] will this work?

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

What you want is a Layer 2 Cross Connect (ietf draft-martini).

For this to work you need MPLS LSPs that traverse from endpoint to
endpoint (across the 'internet' in your drawing).  Then you run an indirect
LDP session from end to end that can exchange 'L2T FECs'.

mpls-linux has the forwarding code to make this happen, ldp-portable
doesn't have the signalling code (yet).
