Hello,
I would like to implement IS-IS as a part of my master thesis. Are there any apparent problems which would prevent successful implementation, political and/or technical?
Hello We already started some work on IS-IS [1], although the work was postponed mainly by work on IPv4 / IPv6 merge [2], which is suggested prerequisite for IS-IS, as its use of raw ethernet frames and integrated IPv4/IPv6 topology makes current single-address_family BIRD behavior and internals inconvenient. I would prefer to continue in implementating IS-IS. If you want something similar for your thesis, i would suggest to implement OLSR (RFC 3626) or Babel (RFC 6126), these are protocols that would be nice to have in BIRD but i don't plan to implement them myself, and they could be easily implemented in current BIRD. Or perhaps we could discuss that off-list and find some solution. [1] https://git.nic.cz/redmine/projects/bird/repository/revisions/fed1bceb2cf6d4...
