Package: mrt (2.2.2a-8)

Multi-threaded Routing Toolkit (BGP4+/BGP/RIPng/RIP2)

MRT is a set of Routing and Network Performance measurement tools, with BGP4+/BGP/RIPng/RIP2 routing software (now includes DVMRP and PIM-DM)

MRT uses novel approaches to routing architecture design, and incorporates features such as parallel lightweight processes, multiple processor support, and shared memory. The object-oriented, modular design of the software encourages the rapid addition and prototyping of experimental routing protocol and inter-domain policy algorithms.

You can use MRT applications and libraries to:

  * Serve as the backbone routing software for your IPv6 or IPv4
    network connection.
  * Simultaneously handle tasks such as routing policy communication,
    routing policy calculation, and maintenance of a RIB, and
    distribute these tasks over multiple processors or multiple
    machines
  * Generate and analyze route flap statistics
  * Generate real-time graphical maps of Internet routing
  * Capture a BGP peering session and monitor it in real time
  * Record and replay sequences of events, such as routing failures
