== Description ==

The BIRD project aims to develop a fully functional dynamic IP routing daemon primarily targetted on (but not limited to) UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General Public License.   What do we support:   Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring)   Multiple routing tables   BGP   RIP   OSPF (IPv4 only)   Static routes   Inter-table protocol   Command-line interface (using the `birdc' client; to get some help, just press `?')   Soft reconfiguration -- no online commands for changing the configuration in very limited ways, just edit the configuration file and issue a `configure' command or send SIGHUP and BIRD will start using the new configuration, possibly restarting protocols affected by the configuration changes   Powerful language for route filtering
