# BGP

The `bgp` crate is an implementation of the Border Gateway Protocol, which is used to exchange routing and control plane information between Autonomous Systms.

The aim of this project is to provide a modern, high performance, secure and programatic and customizable software package that can be useful to network operators, researchers, and people interested in Internet.

## Current status.

The project is currently being rewritten from scratch to be more modular and maintainable, as well as to fix deeper issues with the previous implementation.

⚠️ Warning: This is currently a work in progress and not ready for use.

### 🛣️ Roadmap to v1.0

We aim for the 1.0 release to be functional and stable to operate peering sessions, and to install routes in the Linux Kernel.

* ☐ Implement basic parsers for the fundamental types required
  * ✅ Path Attributes from RFC4271
  * ☐ Open message
    * ☐ Capabilities from RFC4271
  * ☐ Update message
  * ☐ Notification message
* ☐ Implement connection logic to establish sessions with peers
* ☐ Implement an efficient data structure for storing prefixes (e.g. Poptrie)
* ☐ Filtering for peer RIB in / out
* ☐ Main / auxillary RIBs for exchanging routes between peers
