Re: [mpls-linux-devel] small mpls linux

[<bha...@ne...>]

Hi James Leu and Pali,

I think this can be very well possible and I am also trying to make "Linux
Router" which can support all L2/L3 protocols - VLAN, RSTP, RIP, OSPF, BGP,
MPLS, RSVP, layer2 filters(using ebtables), layer3 filters(using iptables),
full firewall operation, but its in very early stages, I need help of the
linux community to do this, I have done feasibility study.

Salient Features:-
====================
1.	There will be common CLI for all protocol configurations.
2.	There will be learning tables in kernel for data traffic forwarding,
so that it can give much better performance then it's giving today.
3.	We can also think of some forwarding engine if possible, which will
give the best performance.
4.	Make linux kernel setting so that is has all supporting modules for
Linux Router only and all other modules and features should be disabled.

Is any one know any active work going in the above area, please let me know.

James Leu: I need your support for MPLS quagga and LDP-portable code
compilation steps on Fedorra 10.

Thanks & Regards

Pali,

I do not have a good answer for you on your search for a small
mpls-linux distribution.  I can say that as part of my day job I
am involved in a very similar search.  If/when I solve that problem
I may apply that knowledge to MPLS Linux as well..

Re: [mpls-linux-devel] VPLS implementation - introductory works

[<win...@fr...>]

two happy hours to install all the git sources of mpls-linux onto  
recent lenny(debian)-2.6.29 without any problem:-).
I'd like to know, is there anything cool sitting in the git source  
besides those are already on the home page of wiki?

Thanks,

AKA Martini signaling.  It shouldn't be hard to implement the LDP related
for this.  The more complicated for this and VPLS will be the infrastructure
needed to build hierarchical LSPs.

You do not need to worry about that since is is already implemented in
the kernel.  Although it is broken on recent kernels, I plan to fix that
soon.

I myself have not read that RFC, but if you would like some guidance,
I could look it over and give you my recommendation for how you should
go about implementing it.

I suggest trimming down the 'config-generic' in the mpls-kernel
tree and use the make-jleu-rpm script.

Vasu,

Most of your patch has already been commited to the ldp-portable or quagga-mpls
git trees.  I believe the last bits that need to be resolved are the debug
pieces.

[mpls-linux-devel] VPLS implementation - introductory works

[Pali <pal...@gm...>]

Hi,
need a little help where to begin with VPLS implementation, because I don't
have experience with this kind of projects.

I read and trying to be familiar with following RFC documents:

4447 Pseudowire Setup and Maintenance Using the Label Distribution Protocol
(LDP)
4448 Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Ethernet over MPLS Networks
4762  Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) Using Label Distribution Protocol
(LDP) Signaling

Any more I should read?

I'm trying to collect subproblems in order to write a roadmap of project.
Just some big topics...

Learn howto recompile custom kernel : )
Try some simple quagga topologies on virtual machines
Try some linux based MPLS topologies - experience MPLS and LDP work
Understand MPLS-Linux and Quagga code
Learn howto create Live CD for presentation purposes
Group peoples, that would like to contribute : )
Do you know some more?

I'm planning to use VirtualBox as a virtualization platform, as it is really
handy and simple.

That's everything for today, tomorrow I will add some more specific roadmap
subtopics. Nice rest of day for everybody.

[mpls-linux-devel] small mpls linux

[Pali <pal...@gm...>]

Hi,
I use now Fedora virtual machines for MPLS networks, but in Fedora there is
a lot of software and services that come from very basic installation, and
that I don't need them. What possibilities I have, if I want small Linux
MPLS routers? Debian was one alternative, but I think MPLS Linux is not in
debian repositories.

Thank You

I also am looking at basic LDP functionality.  I would love to help get 
it going again, as from what I can see the quagga integration has some 
problems at the moment, with or without VPLS.

Hi Pali,

You mean that I could only build l2 mpls vpn point-to-point via  
mpls-linux, and expand it to multiple-to-multiple manuelly without ldp  
support.
Please correct me if I'm mistake.

Thanks,
Wind

[mpls-linux-devel] l2 mpls status

[<win...@fr...>]

Hello, I'm newer to MPLS on Linux. Can anyone tell me what status of  
L2 mpls-linux is, especially VPLS? Is it support Kompella? If lack of  
implement for VPLS via LDP (quagga-mpls), how could LDP be used for L2  
MPLS?

Thanks,
Wind

Re: [mpls-linux-devel] MPLS VPLS

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

Hello Pali,

I would be happy to give you guidance on how to go about implementing
VPLS in the quagga-mpls code base.  I would like to keep the discussion
about this on the list, so that other can contribute to the design
and perhaps maybe even assist in the implementation.

[Pali <pal...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm seriously interested into implementing VPLS via LDP into Linux-MPLS.
I would like to use it as my diploma work. Is there someone, who has tried
something in this area?
Is there someone, with who can I discuss implementation issues?
Thank You

Hi Pali,

           Better u first try without ebtables.


 statically configure MPLS entries and make sure that MPLS working fine ..

[mpls-linux-devel] MPLS example error

[Pali <pal...@gm...>]

Hi,
I'm trying to run simple MPLS example from this web page:
*http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mpls-linux/index.php?title=Examples

*I'm configuring LER router

LER1
-----
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth1
ip link set eth1 up
ip link set br0 up
mpls nhlfe add key 0 instructions push gen 1000 nexthop eth2 ipv4 172.16.0.3
(returns key 0x2)
ebtables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j mpls --nhlfe 0x2


Last command failed:

[root@localhost clovek]# ebtables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j mpls
--nhlfe 0x2
>>> The kernel doesn't support a certain ebtables extension, consider
recompiling your kernel or insmod the extension. <<<

I'm using Fedora 8, because I hope that it is ported on this OS correctly.
I have installed all your RPMs.

[root@localhost clovek]# uname -a*
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.26.6-49.fc8.mpls.1.962 #1 SMP Mon Nov 17
22:10:38 CST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux*

I know also, that problem is with the last parameter 0x2.
If I omit parameters "-j mpls --nhlfe 0x2", command end successfully.
[root@localhost clovek]# ebtables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -j mpls
--nhlfe  >>> 0x2 <<<

Where could be the problem? I guess all modules are loaded successfully.

Or another question, what is the easiest way, how to try your examples and
see how is MPLS is working? I'm using Vmware server, so I could install
different OS, for example FC10 i686.

Thank you in advance.

Re: [mpls-linux-devel] mpls as university project

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

Guha,

I'm glad to hear of your interesting in helping with mpls-linux.
My latest effort has been on updating my development and testing
environment to fedora 10.  To that end I have created RPMs for
most of the components that make up mpls-linux.

I could use help testing and verifying functionality of these
updated RPMs.  If you are interesting in helping with this please
respond and I will point you to where you can retrieve the latest RPMs.

Re: [mpls-linux-devel] mpls as university project

[Dibyajyoti G. <dj....@gm...>]

Hi,
 I am graduate student and want to contribute to the mpls-linux testing and
development effort. I want to setup a testbed with debian or fedora
whichever working for you, Please let me know what version of linux kernel
which will be patched to mpls-linux. Someplace linux-2.6.15.1 is patched to
mpls-linux-1.950  and in another place linux-2.4 is being patched to
someother version of mpls-linux.
I am beginner in mpls but I have previously worked in SIP in Application
layer. I have started learning linux kernel programming. I hope I will be
able to contribute testing and later on I will start fixing the bug in
mpls-linux.

Thank you,
 -- Guha.

I've pull the patches into my local tree.  I'm in the midst of reviewing
and commit chunks that go together.  My initial response is wow.
You had to do a lot of work to just to implement the memory tracking.
Impressive!

I will let you and mailing list know when I have them all committed.

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

Hello Vasu,

It is great to hear that you've made changed to quagga-mpls.  Please
share your patch and I will do my best to get it integrated into the
tree as soon as I can.

Ideally I'd like the patch as it comes from git format-patch, but honestly
I'll take it in any form you have :-)

If you're going to construct the diff by hand please use the diff
options -uNrb

Please post it to the list as a gzip compressed attachment.

[mpls-linux-devel] Quagga-MPLS patch

[Vasu D. <vd...@gm...>]

Hi James,
MPL-Linux and Quagga MPLS are quite useful projects both for learning and
fills a void in MPLS area open source community. I have been playing with
them for couple of months.

My platform is Fedora core 10 and MPLS kernel is the one available from your
site,  2.6.26.6,

While working on Quagga-MPLS I had to fix some issues and made couple of
enhancements.

1. Netlink was not functional with Quagga-MPLS code as AF_MPLS was 29 where
as, it is defined as 28 in kernel.
2. An issue preventing the code from running as an LSR is identified, and
fixed.
3. When we have multiple routes to same destination or route, FEX<->NH
mapping was not properly setup. Fixed this.
4. Ran Valgrind on LDP, and found couple of vangrind bugs.
5.Memory management as per Quagga framework be classifying, FEC, NH,etc to
their own separate buckets.
6. Added debug LDP database to dump state of LDP database as per ldp_global
structure.

So thought I could contribute my code, to the group,

Please let me know if you want to look at my code, and let me know how can I
contribute.

Thanks,
-Vasu

Chris,

I'm also trying to get netfpga support on the same boxes, and it needs
Centos 5.   The kernel is:
kernel.i686                              2.6.18-92.1.6.el5      installed


and iproute is:
iproute.i386                             2.6.18-7.el5           installed


Thanks,
Scott
