    Summary: BIRD Internet Routing Daemon
    Description: 
    BIRD is an Internet Routing Daemon designed to support all the routing technology used in the today's Internet or planned to be used in near future and to have a clean extensible architecture allowing new routing protocols to be incorporated easily. Among other features, BIRD supports:
    
     * both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
     * multiple routing tables
     * the Border Gateway Protocol (BGPv4)
     * the Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2)
     * the Open Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2)
     * a virtual protocol for exchange of routes between different routing tables on a single host
     * a command-line interface allowing on-line control and inspection of status of the daemon
     * soft reconfiguration (no need to use complex online commands to change the configuration, just edit the configuration file and notify BIRD to re-read it and it will smoothly switch itself to the new configuration, not disturbing routing protocols unless they are affected by the configuration changes)
     * a powerful language for route filtering
    
    BIRD has been developed at the Faculty of Math and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic as a student project. It can be freely distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
