gated-R3_6Alpha2.README
Oct 1996
This archive contains an Installer.app package for gated.
It's been tested only on the i386 platform, and many of the protocols
are untested. Use at your own risk.
Included is a patch that I found on the net awhile back for
gated-R3_5Alpha11, which I used as a framework for porting this
newer version.
Refer to the file src/gated-R_6Alpha2/README.NEXT for more information
on the installation of gated on NEXTSTEP.
OVERVIEW
GateD is a modular software program consisting of core services, a
routing database, and protocol modules supporting multiple routing
protocols (RIP versions 1 and 2, DCN HELLO, OSPF version 2, EGP version
2 and BGP version 2 through 4.) GateD was first used to interconnect the
NSFNET and the emerging regional networks, and to implement filtered
routing based on policy. GateD allows the network administrator to
control import and export of routing information by individual protocol,
by source and destination autonomous system, source and destination
interface, previous hop router, and specific destination address. The
network administrator can specify a preference level for each
combination of routing information being imported by using a flexible
masking capability. Once the preference levels are assigned, GateD makes
a decision on which route to use independent of the protocols involved.
GateD is designed to handle dynamic routing with a routing database
built from information exchanged by routing protocols.
