A gated implementation with RIP-II is available for anonymous FTP from
gated.cornell.edu as pub/gated/gated-alpha.tar.Z.

It implements:

	- Multicasting packets on systems that support it

	- Including subnets in routes and sending subnets that do not match the
	  net mask of the logical subnet.

	- Limited authentication (if the auth type is present it drops
	  the packet)

	- Includes next-hop (always, it can't hurt)

	- Limited RD support (if it is not zero it drops the packet)

	- A RIP-II capable version of ripquery for asking routers what
	  they know.


It does not *yet* implement:

	- Full subsumption rules.

	- Full authentication

	- Full routing domain support

	- The MIB

It has only been tested against RIP-I implementations and itself.

If you pick it up and have problems or questions, send mail to
gated-alpha@gated.cornell.edu.  To join the list, send mail to
gated-alpha-request@gated.cornell.edu.

If you do not have FTP access, send mail with a subject of help to
gated-alpha-archive@gated.cornell.edu for instructions on how to use
the mail server.
