Overview
BIRD (the BIRD Internet Routing Daemon) is a full featured dynamic IP routing daemon for Linux and UNIX. It speaks the core internet routing protocols including BGP for IPv4 and IPv6, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, RIP, Babel, BFD and static routing, driven by a single clear text configuration and controlled through the birdc command line client over a local control socket. It turns a host into a capable, lightweight software router, route server or route reflector for a cloud network, an on premises site or a routing lab, with no database and no web console.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg ships BIRD fully patched and secure by default: it is a credential less daemon whose control socket is local and root only, so the routing control plane is never exposed and no login or peer secret is baked into the image. It boots as a real router, setting a per boot router id and programming a self contained demo route into the kernel forwarding table, so you can see it working immediately and then point it at your own peers. Paired with a step by step deploy guide and backed by 24/7 support.
Common uses
- A software BGP or OSPF router inside a cloud network
- A route server or route reflector for peering
- Dynamic routing for labs, edge sites and network testing
