-ospfd: OSPF routing protocol

-ospf6d: OSPF IPv6 routing protocol

-ripd: RIP v2 routing protocol

-ripngd: RIP Ipv6 routing protocol

    Could you please explain what you mean by 'a new daemon'?

  • I'm planning to create/modify a new daemon based on OSPF protocol but using different algorithm. Thanks

The best guide I found on the topic is Zebra Hacking HOWTO. Other sources of information can be found here. You need to understand how 'threads' and timers work there.

I personally prefer look at source code of quagga. It seems not so readable for the first couple hours, but later they're getting OK.

  • I think better suggestion here is to try implement your own daemon. You have a lot of examples in the quagga source code :)
