-Description: BGP/OSPF/RIP/RIPng/ISIS/PIM/LDP routing daemon forked from Quagga
- FRR is free software which manages TCP/IP based routing protocols.
- It supports BGP4, BGP4+, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng,
- PIM and LDP as well as the IPv6 versions of these.
+Description: FRRouting suite of internet protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, ...)
+ FRRouting implements the routing protocols commonly used in the
+ internet and private networks to exchange information between routers.
+ Both IP and IPv6 are supported, as are BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, BABEL, EIGRP,
+ RIP, LDP, BFD, PIM and NHRP protocols.
.
- FRR is a fork of Quagga with an open community model. The main git
- lives on https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git
+ These protocols are used to turn your system into a dynamic router,
+ exchanging information about available connections with other routers
+ in a standards-compliant way. The actual packet forwarding
+ functionality is provided by the OS kernel.
