I am a Google Summer of Code participant this year, and for my project I will be implementing MPLS in FreeBSD. I am in my 5th year of university at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, and this year I am working on obtaining my PostGraduate Diploma in Computer Science (equivalent to the first year of a masters degree). I'm really looking forward to working on this project, as it is also part of my coursework for this year. I'm still in the process of getting through all the introduction stuff to the GSoC, but once that has been done I'm going to continue working on this project and hopefully come up with something that I can be real proud of over the next few months. Hi Ryan, Congratulations on being selected as a participant :-) I have a friend, Nuno Antunes, that started implementing MPLS in FreeBSD but then he went to the dark side (kidding) and continued the work on DragonFlyBSD. I talked to him today after seeing your application being selected to know how far he went. He based his work on the ayame project and nist switch and he has a semi functional patch here: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~nant/wip/mpls-20071109.patch The sad news is that he doesn't have time to continue the implementation, so I'm hopping you make us all proud ;-) -- Joao Barros
