The BIRD project aims to develop a fully functional dynamic IP routing daemon primarily targetted on (but not limited to) UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General Public License.
24.08.2009 - New release 1.1.2! Important core bug fixed - BIRD used as route server in LoNAP and NIX.CZ.
What do we support:
* Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring)
* Multiple routing tables
* BGP
* RIP
* OSPF (IPv4 only)
* Static routes
* Inter-table protocol
* Command-line interface (using the `birdc' client; to get some help, just press `?')
* 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
* Powerful language for route filtering
