| 2 | WHAT IS ZEBRA |
| 3 | ============= |
| 4 | Zebra is a free software that manages TCP/IP based routing protocol. |
| 5 | It takes multi-server and multi-thread approach to resolve the current |
| 6 | complexity of the Internet. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Currently zebra is still under development, so If you want to use zebra, |
| 9 | I strongly recommend you to get the latest version of zebra. |
| 10 | Zebra snapshot is released on every monday. |

| 12 | =================== |
| 13 | SUPPORTED Protocols |
