None of the above. It concerns the first MPLS software written to extend ns-2.
It is quite useful that it runs on Linux, including Red Hat Linux 6.0 - and
likely on other versions of Linux - and not only on Sun Unix (OS or Solaris).

Contrasting properties of various flavors of Linux and Unix is a separate
important issue.

Please tell us about your success in using the MPLS/ns-2 with Free BSD, it
would be interesting to know its performance and/or any installation issues.

Cheers,

Miroslav
