Hmmm... While reading this: http://lwn.net/Articles/30720/ I found this: net/ ---- (davem) - 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: http://www.mplsrc.com/ 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. FD |
