Ack. It's quite different API. I'm also interested in this, but I'm not yet sure when and how much I can work on it. > Vivek, from Cumulus, has already implemented basic MPLS support in > zebra.

Cisco's dmvpn/flexvpn implementation supports nowadays (relatively fresh feature) mpls over dmvpn. And I'm interested in that as well. It would mean nhrpd would need a way to create shorcut mpls tunnels. So it'd need some api for mpls labels. I'd assume it'd come frmo zebra. I'm not yet fully sure of all the details. IIRC, one of the big differences of dmvpn and flexvpn is that in flexvpn ldpd discovery is not used. Instead flexvpn communicates directly to mpls core what peers are active. So this would be nice feature as well - a way to allow external entity control the active links and bypass the multicast auto-discovery.
