Please? Your BIRD code is much better than what's in babeld, which has been hacked by multiple students over the years, some of which were quite competent, others slightly less so. I really hope that BIRD has enough features for most of our users to switch to using it. The reason we've implemented plenty of extensions in Babeld, was to get a solid understanding of which features are useful in actual networks -- and RTT is definitely a useful extension, essential if you're using multiple tunnels and don't wish to be configuring metrics manually. (We've never managed to build a network where Babel-Z measurably improved performance, we've never found a convincing application for ToS-sensitive routing. As to v4-via-v6, it has only just been merged, so it's too early to say, but I'm confident that it will turn out to be popular, especially since it's safe to enable by default.) -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
