实现了MPLS中的标签分发协议（LDP 3036 )的基本功能

What are there no Makefiles?
----------------------------
ldp-portable cannot be used by itself.  It is only a library which must be
compiled in the context of a 'porting layer'.  A porting layer implements
all of the OS specific functions, allocating memory, dealing with sockets,
installing MPLS forwarding segments.

So how is ldp-portable useful to me?
------------------------------------
I have provided a porting layer for you :-)  It is implemented on top of
the quagga framework.  quagga is an open source routing system
(http://quagga.net).  read README.quagga-mpls for more information.

What features of RFC3036 does ldp-portable implement?
-----------------------------------------------------
It implements almost all of them, although not all have been fully tested
and debugged.  The modes which have the most testing are:

Direct discovery
Downstream Unsolicited
Label merging
Liberal label retention
Global repair

Most of the other modes can be configured via the zebra CLI. Feel free to
try them and debug/fix/send-me-the-patch for the ones that are not working. 

Does ldp-portable support CR-LDP?
---------------------------------
Short answer no.  Long answer is that the underlying packet encode/decode
for CR-LDP related TLVs is there and the 'MIB' like interface for
creating the TE related config is there but the upper layers do not use them.

How can I learn more/ask questions?
