babeld

Babeld is a command line tool used for running the Babel routing protocol. Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol that is designed to be robust and efficient in dynamic networks, such as wireless mesh networks. It is implemented as a user-space daemon and can be used on various operating systems, including Linux, BSD, and macOS. Babeld enables routing of IPv6 and IPv4 traffic, and it supports multiple metrics for path cost calculation, including bandwidth, delay, and loss. It also offers features like route aggregation, source-specific routing, and route filtering. Babeld is widely used in community networks, sensor networks, and ad hoc networks to enable reliable and efficient routing.
