Re: [mpls-linux-general] Iproute2

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

You need to build/install a MPLS enabled iproute package.  The patch
for this is inside of the mpls-linux/patches directory.

[mpls-linux-general] ldp-portable

[<EMI...@te...>]

Hi lists,

I have installed Fedora Core 2 and I have applied the patch=20
of mpls 1.946 and everything is
ok. Afterwards, I installed quagga 0.96=20
and I have applied the ldp-portable 0.800 patch:
quagga-mpls.diff and=20
then i modified and execute 'create-links'. Then, I configure and=20
compile quagga and while compiling I have an error about "mpls-linux.
o", and it says that
it does not know how to build the file (I believe=20
it is because the file does not exist).
The file "README.quagga-mpls"=20
says that if you are not running on a mpls-linux enabled
kernel, modify=20
quagga/zebra/Makefile.am and change mpls-linux.o to mpl_null.o; but I=20
don't
think I have to do so because I have a Kernel 2.6.9 with mpls=20
1.946. Do you know what
I can do with mpls-linux.o?

Thanks in advance

If you are not familiar with patching, compiling, and install linux software
I suggest using the pre-packaged RPMs that you can find at
http://mpls-linux.sf.net/

Hi All:

I have downloaded and installed mpls-linux-1.946a.tar from the website 
and
I found the patch file linux-kernel.diff

But I got an error when I tried to run the patch as below:
  patch -p1 < ../mpls-linux/patches/linux-kernel.diff

bash-3.00# patch -p1 < ../mpls-linux/patches/linux-kernel.diff

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Make sure to use 'patch -p1' when appling the patch.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] MPLS

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

The mpls command is part of the patched iproute2 package.  You could
probably use the SRPM I provide for Fedora to compile one for SuSe.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] need help

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

Sounds like your close.  If you have much more difficulty going
down this path, you might want to consider using the SuSe source RPM
and adding the MPLS patch, much like I do with the Fedora RPMs.

Take a look at the man page for 'mkinitrd'.  The initrd must be made by
pointing it at the modules for the same kernel version as the bzimage.
(the initrd contain kernel modules, and as you know kernel modules only
 work with the kernel they were compiled against)

[mpls-linux-general] some problems about ldp

[<yeb...@gm...>]

Hello,James
We are trying the LDP now, encounting some troubles,waiting for your helps.
now we have two terminals, and two LERs, two LERs already have some message=
s,
including HELLO message,and some mapping messages,Keep alive message,addres=
s
message,initial message and so on.
But I want to know that when two terminals communicate with each other usin=
g
ping,there is no label in the IP packets? just using the normal IP formats.
you just mentioned the "PORTING LAYER",what does that mean? Is it have some
relations with my problem?

Re: Fw: Re: [mpls-linux-general] can ldp + zebra work?

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

ldpd operates on the contents of the quagga routing table.  ldpd does
not care how the routes get put into the quagga routing table.  For example
static routes added via quagga CLI are treated them same (by ldpd) as routes
learned via quagga's ospfd.

hello,

	  
	I want to just use static route to realize 3-layer routing (not ospf, rip or bgp). 
If ldpd based on the control message of dynamic route protocol,then static route cant work, 
but if ldpd based on linux route table, I think static route can work.
	Would you tell me which way does ldpd based, topo-driven or data-diven?  
	Does static route can work?

U can try to patch your kernel with existing MPLS.
