Hi I would suggest to look at this: https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2022-October/016362.html It is improved support for MPLS in BIRD, with BGP signalling. Next plan is to improve it a bit to make it ready for merging, and then probably OSPF-SR (RFC 8665) for signalling. I do not want to promise anything about LDP, at least not before we finalize previous steps. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: [email protected]) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
