[mpls-linux-general] Some questions for you, pleas answer

[<e7...@ti...>]

Hi everybody
             i've many questions for you
  1)I've read the mail sent to the mailing list but i don't know how i ca=
n
  answer to the senders and how i can ask them something about their mail=
s.
      Could you help me?Reading mails i've seen that only part of their
email
  addresses are visible.
  2)I've downloaded mpls-linux-1.172. In it i've found mplsadm. I've read=

   that many people use mplsadm2. My questions are: which is the differen=
ce
  between mplsadm and mplsadm2? How can i download mplsadm2? Can mplsadm2=

   send MPLS packets to other pc?
  3)I've read that mplsadm can't send packets and that it is useful only
   to set lsps between pcs and set networks. Is it right?
  4) I'm trying to test my pc seeing if it sends MPLS packets. My scope
for
  now is test it before setting another pc. How can i do? I've seen UML
kernel
   with UML utilities but is there anyone that has already used it? Are
there
   any problem using it for my scope? Which kind of problems? Is there an=
other
  solution to do what i want to do?
  Thanks for all in advance

mplsadm2 serves the same purpose as mplsadm did.  The reason for
creating mplsadm2 is that the underlying communication mechanism with the
kernel changed between mpls-linux-1.0 and mpls-linux-1.1x  (switched from
netlink to IOCTLs)

The is not the purpose of mplsadm(2).  It is the utility that allows you
to create MPLS LSPs.  After creating an LSP you need to map traffic (FEC) to
the LSP and then use normal means of sending packets to that FEC, the
result will be labeled packets.
