6WIND is updating the VRF patch according to the comments from the community. And I think Cumulus is doing the same thing for the OSPF multi-instance patch. A combined branch would appear after both updates are finished. I can not tell when they can be seen in the quagga delivery. I'm afraid we need to wait. > Is this going to include away to manage several routing tables in the >Kernel - One or more instances per table? > I think yes. The VRF patch introduces several separated routing tables via the netns function, while the OSPF-mi patch injects OSPF routes from different instances into the same routing table (routes from the different instances can be regarded as from different protocols).
