Where Have the Unix RIP2 Daemons Gone?

Posted by Cliff on from the gone-but-not-forgotten dept.

Michael Gantz asks: "What are people using for RIP2 support under Unix? It looks very bleak out there; Mrt is sitting on SourceForge and appears to have not been maintained for some time. Gated has gone commercial. What's left? I realize RIP2 is not the most advanced protocol but it's very usefull in many situations."

    I dunno, I guess people "in the know" tend to know about Zebra because we use it over our networks on a daily basis. I learned about it from NANOG.

    It works great but it has some problems scaling over huge routing tables (75,000+) especially with Solaris. You should be fine doing RIP2 or OSPF in linux with it.
