- Real serious use of IPSEC is hampered by lack of MPLS support.  MPLS is a
  switching technology that works by switching based upon fixed length labels
  prepended to packets.  Many people use this and IPSEC to implement VPNs
  over public networks, it is also used for things like traffic engineering.

  A good reference site is:

  Anyways, an existing (crappy) implementation exists.  I've almost
  completed a rewrite, I should have something in the tree next week.


James, did Dave ever give you hint about what he finds crappy ?
Dave normally sets very high standard performance-wise. I think you are more 
concern with flexibility. I have not seen his code yet but I can tell from 
experience that he could certainly get good hints from you, so that everybody 
wins. 

I mean, it would be stupid to not involve the guy in charge of MPLS interop 
testing at the Networld Interop show for so many years.
