  7. Open Source A look at the roots of the open source initiative

  8. Open Source: What is it? • In general, refers to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit • It’s also certification mark owned by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) which requires that: BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  9. Open Source: What is it? • The software being distributed must be redistributed to anyone else without any restriction • The source code must be made available (so that the receiving party will be able to improve or modify it) • The license can require improved versions of the software to carry a different name or version from the original software BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  10. Red Hat Linux What is Red Hat Linux?

  11. Red Hat Linux • Red Hat is a leading software company in the business of assembling open source components for the Linux operating system • Red Hat Linux is a distribution that uses the Linux kernel • Linux is a UNIX-like operating system designed to provide PC users an alternative to expensive UNIX systems BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  12. GNU Zebra What is GNU Zebra? Is it an animal or what?

  13. GNU Zebra • A free software that manages TCP/IP based routing protocols • Supports the border gateway (BGP-4) protocol • Also supports OSPF & RIP • Runs on popular UNIX operating systems • Developed by Kunihiro Ishiguro BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  14. Basic Routing Principles A look at how routing works

  15. Basic Routing Principles • Process of deciding where the packets will go • Normally involves a router; a device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its destination BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  16. Internet Basic Routing Principles 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  17. How Does the System Work? Now that you know how “routing” works, how does the PCIA setup work?

  18. Internet DSL DSL DSL PCIA Network: Before Ip_address_1 Ip_address_2 Ip_address_3 Web server MS ISA server Linux gateway Internal LAN BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  19. Internet DSL DSL DSL PCIA Network: After Web server MS ISA server Internal LAN Linux + Zebra (pbgprouter) BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  20. How does it work? • Uses BGP to decide where the packets should go • Border gateway protocol (BGP) is a routing protocol used to span autonomous systems on the Internet • An AS (autonomous system) is a way of referring to “someone network” BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router

  21. Border Gateway Protocol • Principal protocol used for routing across the Internet BNS: Linux-Zebra BGP Router
