[mpls-linux-general] linux-mpls and network namespaces

[Mathieu P. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi Jorge and all,

I saw you were talking about a patch for linux-mpls that uses named network
namespaces, I would like to know if you are still working on the subject and
if any patches are available ?
I recently posted a (RFC) patch for the ip command that use named network
namespaces to configure net namespaces like VRFs , using Eric Biederman's
recent set of patches that allows a net namespace to get named, using the
filesystem as an "anchor point".

Please see:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2010-June/024699.html

(should maybe have posted to devel, but the most recent post here was
talking about this very subject so...)

Thanks,

	I still work on it, i have been using myself some patches from Vivien
Chappelier to have ID for netns's that I patched on top to have names too.

	I did the correspondig patches for ip utility too. We have been using it on our
network for some years already.

	I have a patched Quagga too with support for this infrastructure that I am
cleaning up, trying to put it in a git repository and learning git at the same
time (so it is going slowly ;).

	I already knew about Biederman's patches and wanted to take a look at using
them for Quagga as they seem to be the ones that are going to be accepted
upstream. I don't have too much time now to do research but if you can sent me
or point to the needed patches I'll add support in Quagga and publish it.

	Regards,
		Jorge
