Ayame MPLS stack ported to NetBSD
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is supposed to speed up
packet forwarding in routers by simplifying the decisions of where to
forward the packet to.
Rui Paulo has been porting the in-kernel MPLS support of the
Ayame MPLS stack to NetBSD-current. See
Rui's mail to tech-net
for more information, or
look at his patch
directly.
Information on MPLS is available
in Wikipedia,
the Multiprotocol Label Switching Architecture is defined in
RFC 3031.
One open question that remains to be answered is how the Ayame
implementation compares to
Mihai 'kefren' Chelaru's implementation.
