Hi Alucard, I stopped coding VPLS/PWE3 support at the end of 2012 because it was getting messy and I didn't have time to properly write it (also I wasn't experienced enough). So after I finished my final paper which was the main reason why I was coding it I simply left it as it was. The wire(4) driver is missing MAC learning and to make it work for my presentation I had to manually add them. The VPLS implementation in LDPd was just too messy and it took me a lot of time to understand LDPd code. Now that I understand most of the ldpd code I'm ashamed of what I did at that time. So: (1) to finish wire(4) there is still a small integration with bridge(4) MAC learning code left to be done and (2) about the VPLS code in LDPd you might have a better luck talking with renato@.
