Hello list!
There are some patches enabling bird to act as VPNv4 and (partly) as
VPNv6 RR.
Release is based on 1.3.4 git version.
VPNv6 is supported over IPv4 BGP sessions only and does not support pure
IPv6 nexthops.
Example RR configuration:
http://bird.mpls.in/projects/mpls-bird/wiki/Bird_rr
Download: http://bird.mpls.in/distfiles/bird/bird-20111202.tar.gz
Do configure with --enable-mpls switch
(FreeBSD example)
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/man
--infodir=/usr/local/info/ --build=amd64-portbld-freebsd8.2 --enable-mpls
FreeBSD users can edit net/bird-devel port, change its version to
20111202 and call 'make makesum'
Please note, this is BETA quality software and testing MUST be done
before real-world usage.
Feedback is highly appreciated.
