Hi,
I am working on T1040RDB and I would like to know is there any latest freescale firmware supports MPLS in hardware or not ???
What MPLS functionality do you need the hardware to assist you with?
Hi,
We need support for MPLS LSR operations and it should be rfc3031 compliance
Please check whether the following would be helpful from the AE team.
I am responsible for FMan (including ucode, driver and FMC tool)
MPLS is supported by Hard Header Examination Sequences (HXSs)
See details the following chapter in T1040 RM:
A.9.4.7.5 L2 HXS—MPLS
Table A-352. MPLS Label to Next HXS Mapping
Figure A-312. MPLS (RFC3032)
So MPLS is supported not only by KEYGEN but also by CC (Coarse Classification).
( Keygen is supported by HW and CC is implemented in firmware )
For details about support at FMC tool software level you should look in the HXS PDL definition file at the following location:
\fmc\etc\fmc\config\hxs_pdl_v3.xml
at mpls protocol definition you will find the following fields available: "label", "cos", "s", "ttl"
<protocol name="mpls" longname="Multi Protocol Label Switching" showsumtemplate="mpls">
<format>
<fields>
<!--
The CoS field is identified as Exp (Experimental Use) inside RFC 3032
-->
<field type="bit" name="label" longname="Label" mask="0xFFFFF000" size="4" showtemplate="FieldDec"/>
<field type="bit" name="cos" longname="Class of Service" mask="0x00000E00" size="4" showtemplate="FieldDec"/>
<field type="bit" name="s" longname="Bottom of Stack" mask="0x00000100" size="4" showtemplate="FieldDec"/>
<field type="bit" name="ttl" longname="Time To Live" mask="0x000000FF" size="4" showtemplate="FieldDec"/>
</fields>
</format>
I escalated your question to the hardware AE team, please wait for the feedback from them.
