| 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. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | =================== |
| 13 | SUPPORTED Protocols |
| 14 | =================== |
| 15 | Zebra supports both IPv4 and IPv6 :-) |
| 16 | For supporting IPv4 Routing protocols is here |
| 17 | RIP (both version1 and version2) |
| 18 | RIPv2 supports both Multicast and Broadcast |
| 19 | BGP (only support BGP4) |
| 20 | |
| 21 | For supporting IPv6 Routing protocols is here |
| 22 | RIPng |
| 23 | BGP4+ |
| 24 | |
| 25 | =================== |
| 26 | Supported plat-home |
| 27 | =================== |
| 28 | Now zebra is testing on |
| 29 | o FreeBSD 2.2.8 |
| 30 | -- without IPv6 ;-) |
| 31 | -- with KAME |
| 32 | -- with INRIA IPv6 protocol stack. |
| 33 | |
