Hi,
I'm involved in a couple of research projects and from our
point of view, we would like to see the following
* have to support tunnelling in software
Support for MPLS tunnels. This would include MPLS to
transport packets both at the IP and the Ethernet layer.
The MPLS magic is in many aspects similar to the
tunneling magic, so I wouldn't see too much of a
problem. The creation and management of MPLS
'tunnels' is done separately from the packet management
proper, either statically or using specific protocols
(LDP, OSPF-TE, etc.)
Clarifying question: are you only looking for a way to do the MPLS
encapsulation, and then the software that sets this up and manages it is
some application you have?
Thus if there was a dladm object (similar in spirit to the VLAN support
or IP-in-IP tunneling support), so that you could do
dladm create-mplstun ...
would that be sufficient?
