Vipin,
I was looking at MI-OSPF implementation at Cumulus Quagga branch
and wondering if I can merge that with the VRF branch to achieve my
goal. I assume that I can then run an ospf instance with a unique id for
each VRF. Since you are at least familiar with the MI-OSPF
implementation, do you see any problem going that route?
Thanks,
Jafar

Hi Nicolas,
Thank you for the email. I looked at the comments/details in
the attachment of the following email:
https://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2014-November/011795.html

It states that the VRF support is only limited to zebra, and
that all protocols are not VRF-aware yet, but it also hints that
VRF-aware protocols is something that is probably already done at
6WIND and they are/were planing to contribute new patched with
such support back to Quagga. That email came in October last year
and I haven't seen any new source code with VRF-aware protocols
unless I've been looking in the wrong place. I'm currently
interested to get that to work with OSPF.
Is there a VRF-aware ospfd contributed by 6WIND that I don't
know of?
If there is at least a partial implementation I'd be interested
to work on and try to get it to work instead of starting from scratch.
Is it possible to run multiple OSPF daemons, one for each VRF
defined in zebra and have them all talk to zebra? I know that
this still requires some tweaking to ospfd/zebra code to let them
know which VRF they are talking about at the daemon level - from
ospfd at least.
As for the possibility, the answer is yes.
Like you yourself hinted, work is needed to assign VRFs to each OSPF
daemon, currently all of them deal with the main zebra table in the
default VRF.
Thanks
Vipin

Hi,
I have been trying the VRF features for the last few
weeks, and I have a few
questions about the implementation and the use of VRF. I
can't seem to be able
to contact the author (Feng) directly , so I was
wondering if there is anyone
on the list here who are familiar with
features/implementation.
We are trying to find some ressources to continue Feng Lu's
work. You can
send your question on the mailing list, we will try to answer.
Regards,
Nicolas
