We are working in a telecommunication degree project and we aims to devel= op some additional feature to the patch. The last couple of month we were studying Linux kernel networking stack i= mplementation for kernel 2.6 and the MPLS code itself. At this point we decided to add some features to the Ethernet over MPLS s= upport so we need some clarification in this regards: 1)What is the meaning of the current ?Ethernet over MPLS support? in the patch? Is it the tunnels implementation, and the meaning of the tunnels a= re that an Ethernet frame will pass through an MPLS network in a transparent= basis (just like in L2 switching )? 2)Is there some implementation of PWe3-RFC3985 included in the patch and/= or VPLS? If not, will it be something interesting to add as a feature in the= current implementation? 3) Someone else is working on that? Thanks, Diego G. |
