[mpls-linux-general] MPLS implementation on Linux

[D. M. <acu...@gm...>]

Hello everybody!

First of all, i have to tell that i am newbie on MPLS and i would
appreciate any suggestion or help about the topic.
I am trying to implement MPLS 1.950 as in the guide
http://www.elcom.pub.ro/~adrian.popa/mpls-linux/mpls-linux-docs/1-3-installation.html
I am using Kubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14) and i am trying to compile
linux kernel 2.6.15.1 (after being patched for MPLS 1.950). For doing
the compilation i have followed a lot of "how to compile" found on the
Internet but finally nothing worked out, giving all kind of errors and
warnings. I also tried to modify the gcc version and compile other
MPLS-patched kernel versions obtaining the same result.

I am really frustrated about this and i would like to know which
method you used for implementing MPLS on Linux, which guide you
followed, or which Linux distribution.

Thank you very much in advance,

David

There are a couple of options available to you.

I do all my development and testing on fedora.  Currently fedora 8 is
my distribution of choice, but I support fedora 7 as well.  I will
being the process of supporting fedora 9 in the coming weeks.  With
this in mind, using fedora 8 is the easiest path to running a physical
machine with MPLS support.

If you are just looking for an experimental network you should consider
NetKit which has added MPLS support recently.

    http://www.netkit.org/

It uses User Mode Linux to provide a simulated network environment.

The path you are currently on is an option as well, but is only suggested
for those who know the intimate details of how to build kernel packages
for their distribution.

Hello David,

Can you post the steps you're following and the errors from the compilation?
