[mpls-linux-general] Graceful Restart mechanism in Linux Kernel

[Sumeet A. <sum...@ho...>]

Folks,
I am trying to implement 'Graceful Restart Mechanism for LDP' 
(draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-restart-01.txt) on the MPLS-Linux kernel.

This document describes a mechanism that helps to minimize the negative 
effects on MPLS traffic caused by LSR's control plane restart, and 
specifically by the restart of its LDP component, on LSRs that are capable 
of preserving the MPLS forwarding component across the restart.

Could someone tell me if the latest version of the MPLS-Linux kernel, is 
capable for implementation of this idea. Specifically, is it possible that 
the Control plane alone could be restarted for an LSR.

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Best regards.
-Sumeet
