[zebra 23130] Re: Develop routing protocol

[G]

Hi

Developing a routing protocol is a big task but it does give you a
real good experience and it takes years to develop a routing protocol
from scratch with all the latest features. however what i could
suggest you is take the Quagga Code and look into some protocol eg
(RIP/OSPF/BGP) and start understanding the code and try adding
features to it . There are lot of features required to be added in
Quagga's implementation of BGP so if you are interested in that BGP
could be a real good place to start off however make sure you
understand how BGP works (RFC 1771 / RFC 4271) should be the starting
point.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Balaji
