AYAME is a new MPLS imprementation, devised by the discussion among AYAME core members, about the base construction of the next generation Internet. AYAME uses NetBSD as the development plathome, and is intended to answer the requirement to manage the network environment both for research and for actual operation at the same time.

This imprementation adopts the module based structure, which is one of the biggest characteristics of AYAME, because it is quite important for the good network management to keep the suite extensible.
