The docs claim babel in bird to be "alpha". Is that still true?
Would say so. There are no known bugs, but it lacks some features; the most obvious one being that it only speaks IPv6 (because Bird lacks dual-stack support). [...]
So for non production, that sounds as good as ospf3, really.
Nope. The IETF working group has only just been formed a couple of months ago, and so there's not a consensus on what form any security features of Babel would take. Once we get around to discussing the security features I'll start thinking about implementing it, but until then, no auth...
Thanks for the info! I hope, some auth is somewhere on the list. Because, really, ipsec isn't fun, as we all know.
