[Xorp-users] MPLS & MPLS/BGP efforts

[Chris Robson NRL]

No problem, you should see my gray matter when not sufficient 
tuned.  Which, for me, is all day every day... :-)

I do have a R&D effort revolving around MPLS and would be very interested 
in any work in these areas.  What I hear from the commercial side is large 
support for L3VPNs.  As for the open-community I am clueless to any need 
other than my own.  In fact, the next step after solving the (please excuse 
the lack of a better name) OpenMPLS I plan to then run the LSPs over IPSec 
and GRE (or IP-In-IP).

Anyway...thanks for the update, and good work...Chris
