Re: Bird as an MPLS RR

[Jan Matejka]

Hi Matjaž,

we're currently working on VPN address support in Bird's supported protocols, as well as MPLS routing. We partially reuse Alexander's code with lots of thanks for it.

Due to the nature of those changes, it's virtually impossible to implement it in the 1.x branch but the 2.0 version is near. Basic VPN support should be available in the first or second release of the integrated (2.0) branch.

Anyway, our testing cluster is quite small so at least the first releases should be taken with care and patience.

Thank you for your reminder.

Hi list,
IMHO adding support for VPNv4 NLRI to “standard” Bird would greatly improve its value. There are very few BGP routers out there that support MPLS route reflection, ExaBGP being one of them. Bird is very popular in ISP community, acting in route servers on many IXPs, so, yes — VPNv4|6 support would be really nice :-)

Kind regards,
Matjaž
