It implements all standard routing protocols such as BGP, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS and more (see Feature Matrix), as well as many of their extensions. It can handle full Internet routing tables and is suitable for use on hardware ranging from cheap SBCs to commercial grade routers, and is actively used in production by hundreds of companies, universities, research labs and governments.

FRR runs on all modern *NIX operating systems, including Linux and the BSDs. Feature support varies by platform; see the Feature Matrix.

FRR is distributed under GPLv2, with development modeled after the Linux kernel. Anyone may contribute features, bug fixes, tools, documentation updates, or anything else.
