1 What are there no Makefiles?
2 ----------------------------
3 ldp-portable cannot be used by itself. It is only a library which must be
4 compiled in the context of a 'porting layer'. A porting layer implements
5 all of the OS specific functions, allocating memory, dealing with sockets,
6 installing MPLS forwarding segments.
8 So how is ldp-portable useful to me?
9 ------------------------------------
10 I have provided a porting layer for you :-) It is implemented on top of
11 the quagga framework. quagga is an open source routing system
12 (http://quagga.net). read README.quagga-mpls for more information.
14 What features of RFC3036 does ldp-portable implement?
15 -----------------------------------------------------
16 It implements almost all of them, although not all have been fully tested
17 and debugged. The modes which have the most testing are:
20 Downstream Unsolicited
22 Liberal label retention
25 Most of the other modes can be configured via the zebra CLI. Feel free to
26 try them and debug/fix/send-me-the-patch for the ones that are not working.
28 Does ldp-portable support CR-LDP?
29 ---------------------------------
30 Short answer no. Long answer is that the underlying packet encode/decode
31 for CR-LDP related TLVs is there and the 'MIB' like interface for
32 creating the TE related config is there but the upper layers do not use them.
34 How can I learn more/ask questions?
