Re: [mpls-linux-general] creation and destruction of LSPs

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

First off, ldp-portable is a portable implementation of LDP.  What this means
is that it implements the LDP protocols but relies on a 'porting layer'
to implement the hardware or OS specify part of the protocol.  With that said
ldp-portable is mostly a fully function implementation or RFC3036.  There are
probably some bugs, but only lots of testing will brings those bugs to
the surface.

Why then do I keep on saying that quagga+ldp is not ready for users?
Because the porting layer (implemented in quagga) is very immature.  The
reason is that quagga did not have any infrastructure for MPLS.  That
was until I spent the last 3 months implementing it.  I am in the midst
of preparing a release of quagga-mpls that has the full MPLS infrastructure
and allows for building static LSPs and binding routes to those LSPs.  All of
this can be save in the zebra config.  I have not yet convert the ldpd daemon
to use this new MPLS infrastructure.  I would rather test the MPLS
infrastructure in a controlled manner (ie with a static LSP configuration).

How can you help?  Download the latest ldp-portable and quagga-mpls from my
development tree and dig in.
