Thank you for the quick response. What we are looking to do is assign a single label to routes when they are placed into a kernel table via a pipe. For instance:
<div><br>

<div>We are looking to manually assign the labels according to our internal structure, so no label distribution is required, just the ability to assign a label to a route similar to how they are assigned to static routes.</div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
the supported part of MPLS is BGP VPN v[46] in Route Reflector mode, and<br>
static VPN routes. Supported are also static MPLS switching rules and<br>
kernel sync of them.<br>
<br>
No additional support is in the short-term plan as we have to stabilize<br>
the whole internal structures of BIRD before adding more features.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if you specify what exactly you'd like to have in BIRD, we may<br>
find out that it is quick and easy to implement ...<br>
