Dropped struct mpnh and mpnh_*() Now struct nexthop exists, nexthop_*(), and also included struct nexthop into struct rta. Also converted RTD_DEVICE and RTD_ROUTER to RTD_UNICAST. If it is needed to distinguish between these two cases, RTD_DEVICE is equivalent to IPA_ZERO(a->nh.gw), RTD_ROUTER is then IPA_NONZERO(a->nh.gw). From now on, we also explicitely want C99 compatible compiler. We assume that this 20-year norm should be known almost everywhere. |

================================================================================
The BIRD project aims to develop a dynamic IP routing daemon with full support
of all modern routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and
powerful route filtering language, primarily targeted on (but not limited to)
Linux and other UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General
Public License.
What do we support
==================
o Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring)
o Multiple routing tables
o Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)
o Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2, RIPng)
o Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2, OSPFv3)
o Babel Routing Protocol (Babel)
o Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
o IPv6 router advertisements
o Static routes
o Inter-table protocol
o Command-line interface allowing on-line control and inspection of
status of the daemon
o Soft reconfiguration, no need to use complex online commands to
change the configuration, just edit the configuration file and notify
BIRD to re-read it and it will smoothly switch itself to the new
configuration, not disturbing routing protocols unless they are
affected by the configuration changes
o Powerful language for route filtering, see doc/bird.conf.example
o Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD ports
How to install BIRD
===================
o From standard distribution package of your OS (recommended)
o From official binary packages for Debian and Red Hat Linux
ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/debian/
ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/redhat/
o From source code of the latest stable release version
ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/
o From source code of the actual development version
git://git.nic.cz/bird.git
https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/bird/
How to install BIRD from source code
------------------------------------
$ ./configure
$ make
$ su
# make install
# vi /usr/local/etc/bird.conf
See the file INSTALL for more information about installation from source code.
Documentation
=============
Online documentation is available at http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc or as HTML
files in the doc directory, you can install it by `make install-docs' and
rebuild it by `make docs', but you'll need SGMLtools and LaTeX to be installed
on your machine. You can also download a neatly formatted PostScript version as
a separate archive (bird-doc-*.tar.gz) from ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/
User support
============
If you want to help us debugging, enhancing and porting BIRD or just lurk
around to see what's going to develop, feel free to subscribe to the BIRD
users mailing list bird-users@network.cz, just send `subscribe' to
bird-request@network.cz. Bug reports, suggestions, feature requests and
code are welcome! We don't use gitlab issues for reporting, sorry.

History
=======
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>. BIRD has been developed and supported
by CZ.NIC z.s.p.o. http://www.nic.cz/ since 2009.
Good Luck and enjoy the BIRD :)
