Nuts and bolts Talk.
The FRR (Free-range Routing) software suite is going through a revamp. There is a move to an async threaded model which is planned to utilize new netlink features to improve scalability. This model will also allow programming FIBs and NHs on remote systems.
In this talk Mark Stapp will describe the current state of the work and challenges involved in achieving this goal. Some initial results and future plans will be discussed.
