Hi, we are interested in this too. Great work :)
Cheers, Andy.

Hi,
What is the status of VPLS/PWE3 support on Openbsd right now ?
I have been researching a bit but cannot find a definitive answer.
There is several mentions of work on this on the web and in the
mailing lists but nothing really clear.
Back in 2011 Claudio Jeker about Openbsd 4.9/5.0 state that these
features are expected in near future.

There is a couple of guys speaking about work on this on the mailing
list in 2012 and 2013

http://openbsd.7691.n7.nabble.com/RFC-Patches-for-the-LDP-daemon-td228828.html
But I didn't find mentions of this in the ldpd manpage (or am I
missing something ?)
Thank you
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@.
Hi Alucard,
There is an ongoing effort to implement these features on OpenBSD. The
control plane for ldpd(8) is already done, I just need some time to
polish the patches and send them for review. If you want to help with
testing please let me know. As for the data plane, I'm now in touch
with Rafael to support him with his implementation. He will need to
change a few things in order to support both the VPWS and VPLS
solutions. For example, claudio@ suggested using one virtual interface
per pseudo wire and use our bridge(4) for the VPLS stuff (mac
learning, flooding, ageing, etc). We hope to finish things up soon.

Hi Renato
This is good news.
I would be happy to help testing

I am also very very interested in this. And I have access to a lot of
gear for any cross platform testing...
Thank you guy's so much, I thought this was in a coma...
