Package: Buriti Open Routing Architecture
System name: bora
Type: non-GNU
Description:
This project aims at building an experimental, proof-of-concept
implementation for a minimal suite of IP routing daemons. This
is a completely new project; there is no existing code or documentation.
We plan to borrow good ideas from other similar
free software projects like Quagga and Xorp. We
understand those projects have serious limitations
we want to address by proposing a new design/implementation.
Our first goal is to define a general design
from which we can derive loosely coupled stand-alone
modules. Such design is a work-in-progress. We'd like
to expose it in Savannah so we can collect criticism and
work cooperatively on it.
The second goal is to use Java as a rapid prototyping
tool to quickly build the main modules so we can have a
semi-production software which we are able to use
to evaluate the main concepts. There are minimal
source code sketches on this idea.
Once the 2nd phase is complete, if we're still confident about
the design, we intend to replace the modules with
production-quality components. It's anticipated it may
be needed to rewrite some modules in other languages,
if any requirements (such as performance) demand so.
It worths noting that the project is going to rely heavily on:
1) existing free software libraries and tools;
2) open standards (like XML RPC, etc).
Underlaying objectives are to contribute with the development
of free software and the routing research community.
Other Software Required:
Java VM: Kaffe/GCJ
Java Compiler: Jikes/GCJ
Java Library: Classpath/GCJ
Java Build Tool: Apache Ant
Java XML-RPC: Apache XML-RPC
Other Free Software Java Tools (such as Java Readline)
