RustyBGP: BGP implementation in Rust
The mission is to develop a high-performance, low-memory-footprint, and safe BGP implementation; an experiment to implement aged and rusty BGP protocol in a modern language.
RustyBGP supports the gRPC APIs same as GoBGP; GoBGP's CLI command allows you to manage RustyBGP. Currently, the very basic BGP features are supported; eBGP and iBGP, active/passive connection, v4 and v6 families, adding/deleting routes, showing the tables, etc. No policy, route server support, fancy families, etc.
Get Started
You can easily build RusyBGP on any system that has Docker running. You don't need Rust development environment. You can build the x86_64 statically-linked binary as follows:
$ git clone https://github.com/osrg/rustybgp.git
$ cd rustybgp
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src ekidd/rust-musl-builder cargo build --release
$ ls -hl target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/daemon
-rwxr-xr-x 2 fujita fujita 8.1M Dec 6 12:26 target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/daemonNo configuration file support; only via the gRPC API. You can use GoBGP's CLI command.
$ sudo ./target/debug/daemon
Hello, RustyBGP!Then you can manage the daemon on a different terminal.
$ gobgp global as 65001 router-id 1.1.1.1
$ gobgp neighbor add 10.0.0.2 as 65002
$ gobgp neighbor
Peer AS Up/Down State |#Received Accepted
10.0.0.2 65002 never Idle | 0 0If you just want to check out the performance, start the daemon with --any-peers option. The daemon accepts any peers without configuration.
$ sudo ./target/debug/daemon --as-number 65001 --router-id 1.1.1.1 --any-peers
