Good Man ! I have RIP98 running on a cluster of 'three' machines -
Kernel, TNOS and JNOS !
There would seem to be just one or two little flies in the ointment
with RIP98
1) As supplied, the daemon does not include split horizon or poison
reverse, which means that routes are echoed back to their original
gateways, albeit with an increase in metric.
2) The Kernel 2.2.x series does not support the 'dynamic' flag, and
dynamic routes are not expired by RIP98. This may not be a bad
thing though - comment is welcome.
I have a solution to (1), but not (2) just yet .... the ipv4 kernel
maintainer tells me that the SIOCADDRT and SIOCDELRT calls made by
RIP98 to add and remove routes are a bit outdated and it really should
nbe using the rtnetlink socket.
