MPLS port

[alan]

Hi, there,

From FreeBSD project future cool stuff it indicates Matthew Luckie has started the porting of AYAME MPLS code. I wonder people could shed some light on any progress or status.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

I am an ex Google Summer of Code student who began the implementation of MPLS in FreeBSD in 2008. I have managed to get basic sending/receiving and decoding of mpls packets working at this stage, but due to finishing university and moving into the big world of commercial development I havent had a chance to work on it in quite some time.

If you want any information on it here are a couple of links:


MPLS in FreeBSD wiki page (http://wiki.freebsd.org/RyanFrench/Implementation%20of%20MPLS%20in%20FreeBSD)
Perforce Repository for MPLS (http://p4web.freebsd.org/@md=d&cd=//depot/projects/soc2008/&c=AN8@//depot/projects/soc2008/rfrench_mpls/?ac=83)

The wiki also has a link to my FreeBSD blog which has a lot of the info on the project from the weekly updates etc I was posting for GSoC, and if you are really interested, there's even a dissertation I wrote on it for university that has the most details in terms of the project.
