I was poking around for what it would take to get there. I found this[1]. I am basically looking to have a way to do routing using Plan 9. You can already do that on any standard Linux using Quagga[2] based on GNU Zebra.
Maybe there is a filesystem that exposes the kernel routing table to user space for certain routing algorithm scripts to hack upon? My objective is to be able to implement a new routing protocol on a router created using a standard computer with multiple NIC cards, maybe on a model P2P type network? I also would love to see what having /net on a router would enable us to do. Has anyone any experience with using Plan 9 on routers? -- Rahul Murmuria [1] http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid39_gci1102834,00.html [2] http://www.quagga.net/docs/quagga.html#SEC3
