MPLS Support Question

[t a]

Thank you for the quick response.  What we are looking to do is assign a single label to routes when they are placed into a kernel table via a pipe.  For instance:

protocol pipe master_to_kernelTable{
        table kernelTable;
        peer table master;
        import filter{
        if bgp_next_hop = 192.168.0.15 then {mpls 1000; accept;}
        reject;
        };
        export none;
        }

We are looking to manually assign the labels according to our internal structure, so no label distribution is required, just the ability to assign a label to a route similar to how they are assigned to static routes.

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 ...
