[Diego G <die...@ad...>]

First of all, thanks for your fast answer.

Now some comments:

1) Regarding the l2cc, we installed it successfully in a kernel 2.4.20 =
but
didn't work (no ping between PC1 and PC3) with the following setup:
PC1 -- PC2 -- PC3=20
eth0 PC1: 192.168.10.1
eht0 PC2: 192.168.20.1
eth1 PC2: 192.168.30.1
eth0 PC3: 192.168.10.2
=20
The l2cc was installed in PC2 and we mapped eth0 to eth1 and eth1 to =
eth0
(l2ccadm -a -i eth0 -o eth1, l2ccadm -a -i eth1 -o eth0).
We will continue investigating was is going on with this setup, seems =
like
the interfaces in PC2 are not working in promiscuous mode so from my =
point
of view traffic from PC1 to PC3 will not be received by PC2 interfaces.

2) If we succeed testing the l2cc in kernel 2.4 we will continue with =
the
migration of the l2cc patch to kernel 2.6.

3) In order to continue this is our plan:
At the beginning we will keep all the signalling issues out of the scope =
of
our implementation. So we will be focused in local cross connect and L2 =
PDU
encapsulation. As far I understand the cross connect issue should be =
solved
with l2cc (migrating it to kernel 2.6) or with the new tc_actions so our
main work will be done in the L2 PDU encapsulation. If we succeed to =
finish
it, we will start with the signalling for Martini style PW.

Let us know if you think we are in the right direction. All comment =
and/or
suggestion are welcome. Just for your knowledge we have good background =
in
communications but we are missing programming experience.

Asunto: Re: [mpls-linux-general] Ethernet over MPLS vs PWe3-rfc3985 and
drafts

Currently ethernet over MPLS forwarding is broken.  But it will not
take much to fix.

I have another project which aims to provide a generic layer 2 cross =
connect
framework for the linux kernel.  The project hasn't received much =
attention
because I've been busy working on mpls-linux.  The last patch from the =
l2cc
project provided a mechanism to specify any frame interface (ethernet, =
VLAN,
PPP, GRE) and redirect frames arriving at the interface to another =
interface
or on to a LSP.  The implementation is very straight forward and easy to
extend.
My guess is that you would not have too much difficulty applying that =
patch
to a recent 2.6 kernel.

One thing to note is that the recent 'tc action' work in the 2.6.11 and
2.6.12 kernel might provide a better infrastructure to do the same thing
as my l2cc patch.  You would have to add some new 'actions', but that =
should
be fairly straight forward.

As far as the signaling side, there does not exist a working =
implementation.
I have added the encode and decode functions for martini style signaling
(via LDP) but none of the internals have been implemented.  I have the
beginning
of a l2-circuit configuration and infrastructure for quagga, but it is =
not
complete.

So the long and the short of it is that there is plenty of room for
improvement in this area.  Let me know where you want to start and I =
will
be happy to point you in the right direction and answer questions.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] Results with MPLS

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

There has been lots of threads about this on the mailing list.  The short
of it:

- increased latency !=3D slower !=3D less throughput
- make sure you have turned off all debugging (some of it needs to be
  compiled out)
- LERs inherently have a higher latency then normal IP routing (IP lookup
  AND label lookup or push) if you have LERs in your test path, it will
  have higher latency
- mpls-linux is not optimized for speed, but for flexibility and correctness
- I welcome definitive data that proves LSR throughput is sub-optimal
- I welcome patches that provide a definitive decrease in latency or solve
  any sub-optimal throughput if it exists

and I have tested with command ping. But I have verified who the

it is normal (it would not have to be)? or my pc's would have to be faster?

Re: [mpls-linux-general] problem with quagga

[Joan R. S. <jr...@sa...>]

Hi vittorio,

This is a very common error when building quagga. By default, the user an=
d
group the quagga daemons (zebra, ospfd ,...) belong to is "quagga". You
will have problems when invoking these daemons with another user, for
instance root.

There are two possibilities in order to proceed:

- to run the apps with the user quagga
- to setup the quagga soft in order to change the user.

I recommend the second one. Just try to invoke the ./configure with the
following parameters:

./configure --enable-user=3Droot --enable-group=3Droot

then build the soft and everything should work.

Regards,

Joan Ruiz.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] ldp

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

There has been a lot of work on LDP recently.  There is still more work
to be done.  The currently released RPM does not contain any of the recent
work.  I will be making new releases for all mpls-linux software soon.

If you want to help on the development side, you will want to setup
access to my development tree and compile/install quagga-mpls from their.
Read more about this at http://mpls-linux.sf.net/

If you choose to go the development route, please post questions to the
mpls-linux-devel mailing list.

If you choose to wait for the new RPMs, it shouldn't be too long now.
We'll see how my weekend turns out :-)

[mpls-linux-general] ldp

[Alejandro V. <al...@gm...>]

I have been reading quite a few mails on the mailing list about ldp, and I =
saw
that the implementation of ldp is not fully funcitional yet, but I
also saw that it works. It may have some bugs, but on an overall basis
it should work.

I have been trying to use it, and maybe help on the developement, but
my problem is really basic, I cannot make it work. I have quagga:

quagga-0.97.3-1.FC3mpls1_946, and eventhough I manager to get the ldpd
deamon started, I cannot manager to make it exchange any labels. I
have ethereal running on my netowrk, and I do not see any LDP messages
on it (such as LDP Hello, Keep alive, Label Request, etc), besides,
all the packest I send are plain ethernet+ip.
My ldpd.conf.sample file is pretty simple, I started it empty, and
simply configured by hand. I mainly did two things to try to make it
work:

1. use mpls ldp command
2. asign a labelspace to the interface I am working on.

I am copying below my configuration below:

[mpls-linux-general] How much effort to implement RFC 2547bis?

[jorma t. <jor...@ho...>]

I was wondering what would be needed to implement RFC 2547bis on the 
mpls-linux platform. The project page indicates that "quagga has support for 
distributing labeling information, but it has
not been tied to mpls-linux yet". I was wondering

1. is this still the case?
2. What exactly is needed
3. Roughly, how much effort would this require (developer-days)?
4. Is there anything else which would prevent one from implementing 
RFC2547bis on mpls-linux, once the "tying to mpls-linux" is accomplished?

Thanks much

Re: [mpls-linux-general] Live-CD MPLS

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

I have been doing significant work on LDP recently.  I have not made
a new release yet.  I believe this ISO only has released software, which
means LDP will still be broken.

In the coming weeks I will be creating new releases of all MPLS software
including quagga-mpls (with LDP).  I would wait until that time to
try and use LDP. (alternativly you could retrieve that latest quagga-mpls
code from my development tree, read more about how to do that at
http://mpls-linux.sf.net)

Re: [mpls-linux-general] Ethernet over MPLS vs PWe3-rfc3985 and drafts

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

Currently ethernet over MPLS forwarding is broken.  But it will not
take much to fix.

I have another project which aims to provide a generic layer 2 cross connect
framework for the linux kernel.  The project hasn't received much attention
because I've been busy working on mpls-linux.  The last patch from the l2cc
project provided a mechanism to specify any frame interface (ethernet, VLAN,
PPP, GRE) and redirect frames arriving at the interface to another interface
or on to a LSP.  The implementation is very straight forward and easy to ex=
tend.
My guess is that you would not have too much difficulty applying that patch
to a recent 2.6 kernel.

One thing to note is that the recent 'tc action' work in the 2.6.11 and
2.6.12 kernel might provide a better infrastructure to do the same thing
as my l2cc patch.  You would have to add some new 'actions', but that should
be fairly straight forward.

As far as the signaling side, there does not exist a working implementation.
I have added the encode and decode functions for martini style signaling
(via LDP) but none of the internals have been implemented.  I have the begi=
nning
of a l2-circuit configuration and infrastructure for quagga, but it is not
complete.

So the long and the short of it is that there is plenty of room for
improvement in this area.  Let me know where you want to start and I will
be happy to point you in the right direction and answer questions.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] meaning of the mpls instructions

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

The xc command is for configuring label swapping on a LSR.  'xc' stands for
cross connect, which is what you need for label swapping.

The parameters to xc are the ILM and the NHLFE key, and will configure
label swapping for packets arriving on the ILM.

RE: [mpls-linux-general] meaning of the mpls instructions

[John C. L. <li...@re...>]

I did a similar setup like yours last week, so my memory is still fresh.

I used the "mpls xc" command on an LSR to "cross-connect" an incoming =
label
with an outgoing label. For example, here is what I did on my LSR:

/* setup ilm to process incoming label "gen 100" via eth0, labelspace 0 =
*/
mpls labelspace add dev eth0 labelspace 0
mpls ilm add label gen 100 labelspace 0

/* setup an outgoing label "gen 101 (key 2)" via nexthop 192.168.1.3 */
Mpls nhlfe add key 0 (returned key value 2)
mpls nhlfe change key 2 instructions push gen 101 nexthop eth1 ipv4
192.168.1.3
ip route add 192.168.1.3/32 via 192.168.1.3 spec_hn 0x8847 2

/* "Corss-connect" the two labels together to form an LSP */
mpls xc add ilm_label gen 100 ilm_labelspace 0 nhlfe_key 2

My "192.168.1.3" will be your "192.168.4.4."

To form a bi-directional LSP, you will need to setup an LSP from your =
LER-B
to LER-A.

I am working on a PowerPoint file to show the details of setting up a
bi-directional LSP. I'll send it out when I am done, if there are =
interests.
(This is just my notes so that I won't forget what I did to make it work =
:-)

Cheers,
John Lin

No, ldp don't realy work the script to start zebra, bgp, ospf, ldp,.... 
is not the same as a fedora

you have a file daemons in /etc/quagga and you tel if you whant to start 
them,
and then you restart quagga

/etc/init.d/quagga restart.

Quagga is already start on the boot,
you can also start x with startx,

We have made somme test performance between a fedora with mpls and that 
customknoppix, (latency, speed test, ...). On our computer the knoppix 
is better than our fedora.
We can communicate somme results if you whant.

Best regards.

[mpls-linux-general] Ethernet over MPLS vs PWe3-rfc3985 and drafts

[<die...@ad...>]

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.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] meaning of the mpls instructions

[<rau...@gm...>]

It's ok! I know what MPLS is and how it work. I understand the
commands nhlfe, ilm, labelspace, but I don't understand command xc.

I understand the commands individually but I don't know make a network
with this software (with mpls command):

192.168.2.1----------LER A----------LSR------------LER B----------192.168.4=
.4

In http://mpls-linux.sourceforge.net/ there is an example where
explain how configure ingress LER (LER A) and egress LER (LER B). And
the LSR?

Configuration LER A:
#mpls nhlfe add key 0 instructions push gen 200 nexthop eth0 ipv4 LSR
Key: 0x00000002
#ip route add 192.168.4.4/32 via LSR spec_nh 0x8847 0x2

Configuration LER B:
#mpls labelspace add dev eth0 labelspace 0
#mpls ilm add label gen 200 labelspace 0

It is ok? I are not sure! because the label 200 will be changed in the
LSR, will not? And how I configure the LSR?

Can you help me?

[mpls-linux-general] Debian packages

[Hasso T. <ha...@es...>]

I built some Debian packages to make my life easier. More might follow
(iptables probably), but no amy promises. Packages are built in unstable,
but will work probably in sarge system as well.

The linux-kernel-headers package for example is enough to get quagga-mpls
compiled with mpls_method = mpls_null.o and play with ldpd.

Hello,

A person propose us space to put or ISO, you can download it here

http://irkutsk.hekkuli.org/~mpls/KnoppixMpls.iso

Until we find a mirror on sf.

Re: [mpls-linux-general] Live-CD MPLS

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

I think this is a great idea, and I'm glad you took the initiative to
implement it.  I will check to see if SF will allow me to store a 700MB ISO
on the mpls-linux project page.

Questions I have for you:  Will you be willing to provide updated ISOs
when I release a new version of mpls-linux?  If not would you be willing
to write up a small howto for building the ISO from scratch so that I or
someone else can continue your work?

Thank you for your work.

How soon can we test it?
