Re: [mpls-linux-general] RSVP-TE

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

I have not had contact with Pim for quite sometime now. So I'm not sure of
the fate of his project.

The rsvpte directory in ldp-portable is/was my attempt to start a RSVP-TE
implementation, it never even got to the point of encoding/decoding
packets.

There is a group working on a RSVP-TE implementation from the ground
up for use with mpls-linux/quagga.  At this time they are pretty early on
but showing promise.  I will let them determine when they are ready for the
rest of the list to contribute to thier project.

So at this time we're still without a working dynamic label distribution
protocol (LDP from ldp-portable still has many bugs to be worked out).
