44ripd: An AMPRNet mesh maintenance daemon for BSD

This is 44ripd, a daemon for maintaining routes and tunnels on the AMPRNet amateur radio IP network (IPv4 network 44/8). This software implements a listener for RIPv2 packets containing route and tunnel information for gateways to APMRNet sub-networks as well as support for maintaining routes and IPENCAP tunnels. It runs on OpenBSD, but is likely portable to other BSD variants with fairly little work. The author current runs it on a Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter Lite running OpenBSD/Octeon. The software is released under the 2-clause BSD license.

TODO

  • Write a man page.
  • At startup, the daemon should probe the state of the system and use the existing routing table and interfaces to bootstrap its internal copies.
  • Logging and assertions could always be improved.
