Hi Iwase

Thanks for looking into FRR/Zebra. I'll open an issue with them about this, and 
we'll go from there.

Do you know when your pull request (https://github.com/osrg/gobgp/pull/1587) 
will be accepted? It's been open for 7 days now.

thx
aman

Hi Aman,

Thanks! That sounds great!
I look forward to your testing result!

But... while I was reading the FRR/Zebra's codes, I found that Zebra does not 
provide API for installing a route to decap MPLS label and forward it to VRF 
like "ip -f mpls route add 80 dev blue"...
I found only API for swapping MPLS labels (ZEBRA_MPLS_LABELS_ADD) message.
Actually, it seems to be able to add routes to PUSH/POP MPLS label, but I 
couldn't construct Zebra message for "<MPLS Label> dev <VRF>".

Thanks,
Iwase
