[FROG] VPLS not working on Ubuntu 18 VM

[abdelmuhaimen.seaudi at orange.com]

Thanks, David, for the response.

Yes, we noticed that OpenBSD is mentioned in the FRR tutorial, and we will try it to see.

Regarding VPWS or P2P EoMPLS, do you have any idea about the level of support in FRR and Linux ?

    What tutorial?  The Linux kernel does not support VPLS.  FRR supports
    it, but only on OpenBSD, and it's not regularly tested.

    Well, yes, the "setup" is that someone needs to implement it for the
    Linux kernel.  I have done so previously in my free time as a side
    project (= proof of concept, incomplete), but noone is currently funding
    development or testing in this direction.


    Cheers,

    David
