I don't know that for sure but, as I'm fairly sure there is no open source MPLS project out there that implements everything MT has, they have either done considerable work to complete all the missing features or wrote from scratch. I agree with you on the 80% statement but there are benchmark projects in Linux for most networking functionality (e.g. tc for rate limiting, iptables for firewall, quagga for dynamic routing) and I haven't found one of those for MPLS yet. -- Simon Westlake Powercode.com (920) 351-1010 _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
