In this webinar, we will discuss the FRRouting project, an IP routing protocol suite for Linux and Unix platforms which includes protocol daemons for BGP, IS-IS, LDP, OSPF, PIM, and RIP.

We'll do a deep dive into the FRRouting community, its goals and where it is going, explore the current architecture, and examine the changes currently being implemented.

We'll talk about the community's philosophy on improving the user experience and how this has led to changes that directly benefit operators, new features implemented into FRRouting over the last couple of years, and features planned for the future. Finally, we’ll discuss some of the challenges of using and deploying FRRouting.

About the webinar

It was very well organized and easy to follow and get prompt answers from the developers of this cool product.

Amazing session,

This webinar was filled with great information. I have heard of FRR before but didn't realize the scope of features it offers.

Donald did a good job presenting the information.

the session was very intresting, but in my opinion it was a bit too discontinuous even if it was focused mainly on architecture. It is certainly very interesting to have this type of session, but it should be better contextualized, perhaps in a series of sessions that include use cases. already the fact that he was a cumulus person could talk about how they are using FRR in their solution, and obviously can be intresting invite other company that use this routing implementation.

Really good info. Ok I may be biased as we are currently working on a design involving FRR, and this really fleshed out the history and approach of the project. So it came at a good time and was very relevant.

But to be fair to Donald the material was very easy to follow, very well laid out with excellent slides. Really top notch stuff thanks all.

FRR isn't relevant to anything I'm currently working on. However, I loved learning about it. I have another tool in my toolbox.
