3Could you please explain what you mean by 'a new daemon'?– Teun Vink ♦Dec 20, 2015 at 14:59

I'm planning to create/modify a new daemon based on OSPF protocol but using different algorithm. Thanks– 8bit AgentDec 22, 2015 at 7:05

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.

Thanks Sir Pavel, I'm now looking into this. I'll be open for more further comments/suggestions regarding this topic. :) Dec 22, 2015 at 7:08

I think better suggestion here is to try implement your own daemon. You have a lot of examples in the quagga source code :)– PavelDec 25, 2015 at 7:49
