11: ================================================================================
12:
13: The BIRD project aims to develop a dynamic IP routing daemon with full support
14: of all modern routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and
15: powerful route filtering language, primarily targeted on (but not limited to)
16: Linux and other UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General
17: Public License.
18:
19: What do we support
20: ==================
21:
22: o Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring)
23: o Multiple routing tables
24: o Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)
25: o Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2, RIPng)
26: o Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2, OSPFv3)
27: o Babel Routing Protocol (Babel)
28: o Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
29: o IPv6 router advertisements
30: o Static routes
31: o Inter-table protocol
32: o Command-line interface allowing on-line control and inspection of
33: status of the daemon
34: o Soft reconfiguration, no need to use complex online commands to
35: change the configuration, just edit the configuration file and notify
36: BIRD to re-read it and it will smoothly switch itself to the new
37: configuration, not disturbing routing protocols unless they are
38: affected by the configuration changes
39: o Powerful language for route filtering, see doc/bird.conf.example
40: o Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD ports
41:
42: How to install BIRD
43: ===================
44:
45: o From standard distribution package of your OS (recommended)
46: o From official binary packages for Debian and Red Hat Linux
47: ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/debian/
48: ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/redhat/
49: o From source code of the latest stable release version
50: ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/
51: o From source code of the actual development version
52: git://git.nic.cz/bird.git
53: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/bird/
