2015-04-22	mpls: Per-device enabling of packet input	Robert Shearman
	An MPLS network is a single trust domain where the edges must be in control of what labels make their way into the core. The simplest way of ensuring this is for the edge device to always impose the labels, and not allow forward labeled traffic from untrusted neighbours. This is achieved by allowing a per-device configuration of whether MPLS traffic input from that interface should be processed or not. To be secure by default, the default state is changed to MPLS being disabled on all interfaces unless explicitly enabled and no global option is provided to change the default. Whilst this differs from other protocols (e.g. IPv6), network operators are used to explicitly enabling MPLS forwarding on interfaces, and with the number of links to the MPLS core typically fairly low this doesn't present too much of a burden on operators.

2015-03-04	mpls: Add a sysctl to control the size of the mpls label table	Eric W. Biederman
	This sysctl gives two benefits. By defaulting the table size to 0 mpls even when compiled in and enabled defaults to not forwarding any packets. This prevents unpleasant surprises for users. The other benefit is that as mpls labels are allocated locally a dense table a small dense label table may be used which saves memory and is extremely simple and efficient to implement. This sysctl allows userspace to choose the restrictions on the label table size userspace applications need to cope with. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
