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

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. []s Hi Renato This is good news. I would be happy to help testing Louis 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... -Noah
