Subject: [Babel-users] ANNOUNCE: source-specific routing in Babel
Sender: "Babel-users"

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a first implementation of Babel-S,
a variant of Babel able to distribute source-specific routes.  The
code is available using

  git clone -b source-specific 
git://git.wifi.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/babels.git

with a web inteface on

  http://git.wifi.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/?p=babels.git

and a backup on

  https://github.com/boutier/babeld


Motivation
==========

Consider the case of a multihomed network (a network connected to two
ISPs).  If the network is using provider-specific addresses, a packet
needs to be routed to the right ISP depending on its *source* address.
This is in contrast to traditional routing, which only considers the
*destination* when making a routing decision.


       ISP A      ISP B
          \        /
   packets \      /  packets
   sourced  \    /   sourced
   from A    \  /    from B
           end node

Markus Stenberg has recently published a prototype of source-specific
routing for OSPF[1].  Babel-S is our attempt at a production-quality
implementation of source-specific routing within the Babel routing
protocol[2].
