Everton da Silva Marques <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Buriti Open Routing Architecture System name: bora Type: non-GNU Description: This project aims at building an experimental, proof-of-concept implementation for a minimal suite of IP routing daemons. This is a completely new project; there is no existing code or documentation. We plan to borrow good ideas from other similar free software projects like Quagga and Xorp. We understand those projects have serious limitations we want to address by proposing a new design/implementation. Our first goal is to define a general design from which we can derive loosely coupled stand-alone modules. Such design is a work-in-progress. We'd like to expose it in Savannah so we can collect criticism and work cooperatively on it. The second goal is to use Java as a rapid prototyping tool to quickly build the main modules so we can have a semi-production software which we are able to use to evaluate the main concepts. There are minimal source code sketches on this idea. Once the 2nd phase is complete, if we're still confident about the design, we intend to replace the modules with production-quality components. It's anticipated it may be needed to rewrite some modules in other languages, if any requirements (such as performance) demand so. It worths noting that the project is going to rely heavily on: 1) existing free software libraries and tools; 2) open standards (like XML RPC, etc). Underlaying objectives are to contribute with the development of free software and the routing research community.
