BIRD Internet Routing Daemon (c) 1998--2008 Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> (c) 1998--2000 Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> (c) 1998--2008 Ondrej Filip <feela@network.cz> (c) 2009--2013 CZ.NIC z.s.p.o. ================================================================================ 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. If you want to help us debugging, enhancing and porting BIRD or just lurk around to see what's going to develop from this strange creature, feel free to subscribe to the BIRD users mailing list (bird-users@bird.network.cz), send subscribes to majordomo at the same machine). Bug reports, suggestions, feature requests (: and code :) are welcome. You can download the latest version from ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/ and look at the BIRD home page at http://bird.network.cz/. BIRD development started 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>.

You can also download a neatly formatted PostScript version as a separate archive (bird-doc-*.tar.gz). What do we support: o Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring) o Multiple routing tables o BGP o RIP o OSPF o Static routes o Inter-table protocol o IPv6 router advertisements 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). What is missing: o See the TODO list Good Luck and enjoy the BIRD :) The BIRD Team
