[Xorp-users] MPLS & MPLS/BGP efforts

Thanks Hasso.  I read Chris's email too quickly.  Let me clarify my comments:

The Vyatta implementation will probably implement some type of site-to-site tunneled VPN solution first (IPsec, [GRE+IPsec], SSL), we are looking for ideas on which specific projects we should integrate.  We are also looking at remote access VPN gateway solutions (IPsec and/or SSL) for mobile users.

For true MPLS-based L3VPN we will need to gauge community interest in this.  If you are looking for full PE functionality, my guess would be that there is limited demand for this, but we'll let the community tell us that.  We can already act as a CE device, so no changes needed there.

I would say the same thing about L2VPN, we would need to better understand community interest and desired capabilities.

Sorry for any confusion, the caffeine was just starting to kick in :-)

Excellent.

RFC2547 isn't about L2VPN, but L3VPN and is obsoleted by RFC4364 
already ;).
