Babel

Babel has two limitations that make it unsuitable for use in some environments. First, Babel relies on periodic routing table updates rather than using a reliable transport; hence, in large, stable networks it generates more traffic than protocols that only send updates when the network topology changes. In such networks, protocols such as OSPF [OSPF], IS-IS [IS-IS], or the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) [EIGRP] might be more suitable.

Quick How-To

• make sure IPv6 address is available at interface to next peer
• run babeld on e.g. eth1 babeld eth1
• multiple interfaces example babeld eth1 sit0 tun0
• configure what you want to redistribute
