================================================================================
|
|
|
|
The BIRD project is an attempt to create a routing daemon running on UNIX-like
|
|
systems (but not necessarily limited to them) with full support of all modern
|
|
routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and powerful route
|
|
filtering language.
|
|
|
|
BIG FAT WARNING: This is still a development version which probably has lots
|
|
of bugs and missing features (including documentation); see below for what is
|
|
implemented and what still isn't.
|
|
|
|
Welcome to our alpha test team! If you want to help us debugging, enhancing
|
|
and porting BIRD or just lurking around to see what's going to develop from
|
|
this strange creature, feel free to subscribe to the BIRD users mailing
|
|
list (bird-users@atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz, send subscribes to majordomo
|
|
at the same machine). Bug reports, suggestions, feature requests (: and
|
|
code :) are welcome.
|
|
|
|
BIRD has been developed as a student project at the Faculty of Math
|
|
and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic under supervision
|
|
of RNDr. Libor Forst <forst@cuni.cz>.

How to install BIRD:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
vi /usr/local/etc/bird.conf
|
|
|
|
What do we support:
|
|
|
|
o Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring)
|
|
o Multiple routing tables
|
|
o BGP
|
|
o RIP
|
|
o Partial implementation of OSPF (IPv4 only; soon to be
|
|
functional).
|
|
o Static routes
|
|
o Inter-table protocol
|
|
o Command-line interface (using the `birdc' client; to get
|
|
some help, just press `?')
|
|
o Soft reconfiguration -- no online commands for changing the
|
|
configuration in very limited ways, just edit the configuration
|
|
file and issue a `configure' command or send SIGHUP and BIRD
|
|
will start using the new configuration, possibly restarting
|
|
protocols affected by the configuration changes.
|
|
o Powerful language for route filtering (see doc/bird.conf.example).
|
|
|
|
Missing (see also the TODO file):
|
|
|
|
o Rest of OSPF
|
|
o Documentation

Good Luck and enjoy the BIRD :)
