Ericsson Research has been working to support MPLS with OpenFlow. Since OpenFlow currently lacks the features needed to describe the functionality of an MPLS switch, we proposed a set of revisions to the OpenFlow specification. We have implemented these changes in version 0.8.9r2 of the OpenFlow reference system and have made them publicly available. A version of the NetFPGA OpenFlow switch with these changes is also under development and will be available soon. More information about our project, our additions to OpenFlow, and the source code can be found on the Project Page on the OpenFlow Wiki.
