Hello Sebastian,

first of all, thank you for reaching out!

I am trying to modify the BIRD implementation of RIP with my internet draft: Direct Knowledge Extension to Distance Vector Routinghttps://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-mueller-dkextension-00.html. I want to make sure its working.

I can’ŧ see you at the IETF 123 participant list; if you were here, we could look at it together. BTW, would you be interested in a feedback on your draft?

In general I would love if I could get some pointers on how to verify and debug my implementation. How do you guys test your changes?

Please try this tool instead https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird-tools/-/tree/master/netlab?ref_type=heads

It is compatible with both BIRD 2 and 3.

Good luck!
Maria
