BirdPlan

Tool to automatically configure BIRD and unit test configurations, because proper BGP configuration for a carrier/ISP with a somewhat complete featureset is a complex task.

We will be using a new advanced network virtualization system that is capable of spinning up hundreds thousands of routers to create testing scenarios like this…

• BGP configuration
  • Peer types: customer, internal, peer, rrclient, rrserver, rrserver-rrserver, routecollector, routeserver, transit
• OSPF configuration
• RIPv2 configuration

• Python
• BIRD - Bird Internet Routing Daemon
• Networking protocols: BGP, RIPv2, OSPF
• Network simulation using light weight network namespaces
• nsnetsim - Network simulation
• birdclient - Python library for parsing BIRD output

• Conversion of code base from python 2 to clean python 3

• Pull in static config
• Unit tests
• Pull in RIP configuration
• Pull in OSPF configuration
• Pull in BGP configuration
• Support for RPKI
• Tests tests tests!
• Better documentation for nsnetsim code
• Better documentation for birdclient code
• Documentation for birdplan code
