On Tuesday, there was much whining about single Babel implementation. Luckily
T.M.S.[1] to the rescue - ~15 hours after start, routes synchronized
unidirectionally, and after fixing bug or two this morning they go both ways,
loop-free, etc. So I would argue I have implemented RFC6126 (aka Babel).

(+ some more in unit tests)
8430 byte flash footprint on a router (given Python 3.4 interpreter, + some
rounding up for blocksize of course)
Caveats:
- I implemented it like ‘zeroconf IS-IS’ works, that is, without useful cost
function. It fully interoperates with more comprehensive implemenations though.
- Linux only to deal with FIB (system interface for dealing with routes is ‘ip’
command from iproute2); core developed on OS X
- IPv6 only (who wants legacy IP?)
- No source routing (I am sure it would maybe add 100 LoC or so)
- officially Python 3.4+ required (likely any Python 3+ variant works, sub-3
probably would need some work)
Disclaimer:
- if you plan to use this for production use, don’t, unless you test it for
yourself sufficiently; however, it _does_ work
- pull requests welcome as long as footprint does not increase much
- bucketloads of money to implement more features are welcome too.. *smirk*
Cheers,
