Hoi folks, I work on VPP (a fast userspace based dataplane implementation https://fd.io/), and helped contribute the ability for this dataplane to consume Netlink messages (github.com/pimvanpelt/lcpng) One thing that I've been asked about quite a bit is the ability to program the VPP dataplane with MPLS forwarding. I use Bird2 in my own deployment ( https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/09/21/vpp-7.html) and was wondering what the current thinking is for Bird to support signalling with LDP. Last I saw was: - https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2017-September/011528.html - https://birdofluck.livejournal.com/8996.html - https://git.nic.cz/redmine/projects/bird/repository/show?rev=mpls - https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2018-September/012760.html - https://bird.network.cz/
Maria, do you have pointers on the current state of the union for an LDP implementation for Bird? I'd like to add MPLS support to Linux Control Plane (https://ipng.ch/media/virtualnog/index.html) groet, Pim -- Pim van Pelt <[email protected]> PBVP1-RIPE - http://www.ipng.nl/
