Routing Protocols

This is a collection of start and stop scripts for several routing protocols. The start scripts are executed in very instance. The stop script kill all instances at once so far (TODO). Feel free to modifiy them and add new scripts. Use ./software.py start <protocol> to call protocols/<protocol>_start.sh on each virtual node (network namespace).

All of the following protocols are proactive protocols. They are also written in the C programming language - unless stated otherwise.
