Are you a student? This kind of stuff has interested me quite a bit in Plan 9 (though more from a packet classification standpoint -- read: firewalling), and it seems like a nifty project for GSoC. As far as I'm aware, there is nothing similar to the OSPF/BGP/RIP support directly in Plan 9. I am pretty sure Charles has written a RIP daemon that is in sources somewhere. --Devon > -- > Rahul Murmuria > > [1] > http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid39_gci1102834,00.html > [2] http://www.quagga.net/docs/quagga.html#SEC3 > >
