Hi Everyone,

I have been looking into the ability to support multiple cost metrics per link for ospf, which is something that I brought up in our first Quagga monthly meeting. The "official" term for that is Multi-Topology (MT) Routing in OSPF which is described in RFC 4915 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4915).

After some digging I found that this was actually brought up 6 years ago on this list:
https://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2009-July/006789.html

And It seems like there was a collective effort to get this up and running with progress on github here:
https://github.com/tomhenderson/quagga-mtr/

I see names like Paul, Vincent, Joakim among others who had contributed to this effort. I haven't checked to see how far did this go but it seems nobody has touched it in 5 years. Multi routing table support was not very common at the time in Linux kernels, and the same can be said about VRF which are things that could have hindered the move at the time but I'm not sure.

Can anyone tell me please about that project or any similar efforts?

I'm interested in rebooting that work and would appreciate any information or help.

Regards,
Jafar
