FRRouting
Sign in to saveFree Range Routing or FRRouting or FRR is a network routing software suite running on Unix-like platforms, particularly Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD. It was created as a fork from Quagga, which itself was a fork of GNU Zebra. FRRouting is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 (GPL2).
Source code
FRR is free software that implements and manages various IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. It runs on nearly all distributions of Linux and BSD and supports all modern CPU architectures. The project website is frrouting.org. Not every protocol or feature is available on every platform; see the feature matrix in the user guide. Centralized FRR configuration (work in progress): the mgmtd daemon applies YANG configuration to the routing protocol daemons through the northbound API (instead of each daemon only having its own legacy configuration path). Not all daemons are migrated yet ; expect ongoing changes. See mgmtd in the user guide. Pre-built packages: APT for Debian and derivatives (deb.frrouting.org), and RPM for RHEL, Fedora, and related distributions (rpm.frrouting.org). Instructions on building and installing from source for supported platforms may be found in the developer docs. Once installed, please refer to the user guide for instructions on use. See lists.frrouting.org for the list index, subscription, and archives. The public lists include: For chat, we use Slack. New members can join via the invite link on the community page. See submitting patches and enhancements and the commit guidelines when contributing. FRR maintains developer's documentation with the full project workflow and contributor expectations; technical documentation on internals is also available. Per-file licenses use SPDX identifiers; see COPYING and doc/licenses/ . The combined work is generally understood to be distributable under GNU General Public License version 2 or later (GPLv2+); see COPYING for details. FRR's documentation uses a separate custom permissive license (see COPYING for background).
