Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows about improvements to MPLS support, specifically when it's going to be further integrated into BGP and when LDP will be added? Thanks, Danny.
Hi! Lazy and quick answer: Ask the same question in 2020. More elaborate: 1. Our development plans include it maybe in 2021, ± 2 years. Our current priorities before LDP and more MPLS support are at least concurrent execution, sanitization of route update process, adj-rib-in for BGP, filter refactoring and fix of roa check together with larger support of table queries in filters. 2. It is something we may be paid for (via a support contract). 3. If you (or anybody else) feel like coding it, we are definitely open to consulting and helping you to make the merging process as smooth as possible. Especially assigning MPLS labels is something that you can implement in many different ways and we'd like to discuss it personally to . For personal meeting, we'll attend RIPE 77 in Amsterdam (Oct 15–19). Feel free to contact us there. Or you may visit us in Prague, please send us an email in advance to schedule a meeting with us. 4. There was some code from Alexander Chernikov, now obsolete as it was based on our previous experimental code which we never merged and nobody has ever found time rebasing it onto the int-new branch, AFAIK.

Hi all! I know, that FRR project uses code of ldpd from openbsd. Is there some license restrictions for adoption of parts of this code? On Fri, 28 Sep 2018 at 20:51, Maria Jan Matějka <jan.matejka@nic.cz> wrote:

I think it may be technically possible with no promise that it really is feasible to do it this way. Regarding the legal parts, I don't know. Anyway, LDP support means also having MPLS table governor (assigning the local labels) together with other structural changes inside BIRD (generating MPLS routes from IP routes), which is probably much more work than LDP itself to make it correct and fast at the same time. Or do I miss some point? Maria
