[mpls-linux-devel] UML + mpls-kernel-davem?

From: James R. L. <jl...@mi...> - 2004-02-17 17:47:49

I keep a personal client in which I have the latest working UML patch
applied.  Would you guys like that submitted as part of the mpls-kernel-davem
branch?   I only update the kernel and the UML patch when I have them working.

Any thoughts?

For me it's fine, as long as it is later possible to isolate the patches.

Thanks.

Yep! I'm very much interested in your setup (root files, .config, etc) I
would appreciate downloading them from ftp

We would be able to generate a MPLS only patch.  It might have a bit
of line number 'skew' but that would be about it.

I'm going to add the UML patch to my base 2.6 kernel.  mpls-kernel-davem
is a branch from the tree, so I can integrate the UML change down to it.
To produce a MPLS only patch, we just diff the base 2.6 (with UML) with
the mpls-kernel-davem 2.6 (with UML).

Does that sound good?

I've uploaded all the the files.  They're not ready for newbies to use, but
you guys are smart enough to knwo where to start and ask questions from there.

Sneaking in here;
I would have no problem on using UML if i can get a HOWTO on setting
up for MPLS testing.

cheers,

The stuff I posted so far is not to that level.  I will spend some time
tomorrow making a howto.

I have downloaded things; Treat me as a novice. Didnt know my cable
modem was this fast ;-> Getting about 250KB/sec. 
The time i tried uml it was pretty cool running it off gdb; is this
something that can be done with your setup?

[mpls-linux-devel] interesting article

From: Jamal H. S. <ha...@zn...> - 2004-02-19 02:55:43

Someone pointed this article to me today:

http://www.commsdesign.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=16505029

Looks like the author knows what he is talking about. Didnt fully read
it.

Disclaimer: I'm not a bookreviewer or anything like that so take my impression
with a grain of salt:

It was interesting.  I'm not sure what he was trying to do with the article.
I think he wanted to write about all sorts of cool hardware-techy-stuff,
but found he had to explain too much about how these MPLS services work.
Which he really didn't go into that deep, but he did try and get one main
idea across, all labels above the tunnel label only have meaning to the
indirectly connect devices that exchanged the information.  The result is
that he ran out of room to talk about anything 'cool' :-)
His tables of NHLFE, ILM, FTN are an absolute horror to look at.
