I posted a similar question to the Linux Router Project (LRP) and LRP
developer lists. You might develop the thread there. For subscription
instructions see:
http://www.linuxrouter.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-router
http://www.linuxrouter.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-router-devel

Then there's the issue of finding local and transit ISPs that speak
MPLS, and applications and services based on it. That's why I suggest
the LRP lists. They're motivated to implement and use freeware -- it
doesn't get much more cost effective than that.

There's also the problem, insurmountable at this time in the US, that
one cannot connect directly to a transit ISP POP colocated at one's
friendly ILEC CO. We're working on that too. :-)

Hello everybody,

forgive me if somebody ask the same thing before,
but I am new  at this list.
Does anybody know if there are any implementations
of MPLS either in simulators (ns2, ...) or in
PC-based routers (Linux, FreeBSD)??
If yes can you send me some info (maybe URLs)?
If no, what would be the expected complexity to
implement it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

best regards
