[mpls-linux-general] MPLS+IPv6

[Bruno J. M. <bj...@me...>]

Hi there!

I'm doing some research on MPLS and IPv6 for my master thesis...

Right now, i'm using kernel 2.6.2 with mpls-1.922 patch!

I've changed mplsadm2 to work with IPv6 address, and by looking at
debugging messages, I think that's all OK (no errors are found).

Exception is in /proc/net/mpls/in, where  SET(ethX,X.X.X.X) appears
with 0.0.0.0 (because macro NIPQUAD(a) only works with IPv4 addresses, right?).

But I have a problem when binding FEC to LSP (with mpls patched
ip6tables): it isn't working! The traffic is not leaving the router using
mpls.

Do you have any idea on the problem?


What's the status on porting ldp-portable to 2.6 kernel with IPv6?

Thank's in advanced,
Bruno Marcelino
