ِDoes FreeBSD Support MPLS?

[spmzt]

Hello,

I want to setup MPLS on FreeBSD, but I can't find any documentation guide. I found this link below that says:

the main goal of this project is reached.

Finishing FreeBSD MPLS implementation
But there is nothing about it on the Internet or Wiki.
Any Idea?

Thanks.

I'm not sure how to interpret these: <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/?qt=grep&q=MPLS>

There was, at least, this (not long after the last edit to the linked wiki page): <https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=ca8882cad66d5bae719b6c7f901bb8740ba7d1b4>

Two ports of interest: net/mtr and net/mtr-nox11

mtr(8)

I don't think so. A keyword (apropos) search of the man pages returns no hits for "MPLS". Openbsd does appear to have a full implementation, and Freebsd appears to be missing a lot of the key pieces by comparison. E.g., there's no "mpls" stanza accepted by ifconfig. See pages 5 and 6 here:
