| WHAT IS ZEBRA |
| ============= |
| Zebra is a free software that manages TCP/IP based routing protocol. |
| It takes multi-server and multi-thread approach to resolve the current |
| complexity of the Internet. |
| |
| Currently zebra is still under development, so If you want to use zebra, |
| I strongly recommend you to get the latest version of zebra. |
| Zebra snapshot is released on every monday. |
| |

| Zebra supports both IPv4 and IPv6 :-) |
| For supporting IPv4 Routing protocols is here |
| RIP (both version1 and version2) |
| RIPv2 supports both Multicast and Broadcast |
| BGP (only support BGP4) |
| |
| For supporting IPv6 Routing protocols is here |
| RIPng |
