Free Range Routing (FRR)

FRR is a fork of the well-known Quagga router. FRR is managed under the Linux Foundation.

Installing FRR with Ubuntu 16.04/18.04

For Ubuntu, .deb packages are available from https://deb.frrouting.org. Since Quagga and FRR cannot be installed simultaneously, be aware that Quagga .deb packages will be removed.

Using FRR in CORE

The FRRZebra Service must always be enabled. This service runs the main zebrad daemon which manages the common FRR configuration. Specific routing protocols, such as OSPFv2 or RIP, can be enabled by clicking on their respective service buttons. Template router configurations will appear in the FRRZebra Service and specific interface or router configuration commands can be customized in the common FRRZebra configuration file.

	Problem: at ~300 nodes (many multi-homed) and ~1200 interconnects, CORE began generating ebtables issues which appeard in the CORE logs.

	Solution (unresolved):

	added --concurrent option to ebtables call string in:
	/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/core/netns/vnet.py

	saved original vnet.py
	deleted vnet.pyc
