Linux Routing Daemons

We’ve talked about many routing daemons throughout this book, and there are more we didn’t have room to cover. Table A.1 contains the most complete list of multi- protocol routing daemons available for Linux users that we could pull together, listed by homepage. The key for this table is

  • y. Feature is supported in at least one version of this program.

  • n. Feature is not supported in any version of this program.

  • p. Support might or might not be implemented yet, but it is currently under development.

As usual, the focus here is specifically on the Internet Protocol (IP).
