Hello,

the supported part of MPLS is BGP VPN v[46] in Route Reflector mode, and
static VPN routes. Supported are also static MPLS switching rules and
kernel sync of them.

No additional support is in the short-term plan as we have to stabilize
the whole internal structures of BIRD before adding more features.

Anyway, if you specify what exactly you'd like to have in BIRD, we may
find out that it is quick and easy to implement ...
