Shortest Path First protocol (OSPFv2, OSPFv3), Babel Routing Protocol (Babel),
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), IPv6 router advertisements, static
routes, inter-table protocol, command-line interface allowing on-line control
and inspection of the status of the daemon, soft reconfiguration as well as a
powerful language for route filtering.

Update Information:
BIRD 2.0.4 (2019-02-27) ======================= * OSPF: Opaque LSAs (RFC
5250) * OSPF: DN-bit handling (RFC 4576) * Preferred route counters are back
* Important BGP bugfix * Several bugfixes related to route propagation *
some minor bugfixes BIRD 2.0.3 (2019-01-05) ======================= * MRT
table dumps (RFC 6396) * BGP Long-lived graceful restart * BGP: Optional
import table (Adj-RIB-In) * BGP: Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop
self'
options * BGP: Improved VRF support * OSPF: Authentication trailer for
OSPFv3 (RFC 7166) * Babel: New option to randomize router ID * Filter:
Custom route attributes * Filter: Support for src accessor to SADR source
prefix * Filter: Support for VPN_RD sets * Filter: Make ifname attribute
modifiable * Perf: Protocol to measure BIRD performance internally * More
verbose error messages in config processing * Log file size limit / log
rotation * Many bugfixes Notes ----- Export of routes to RS EBGP (route
server) sessions from other sources than RS EBGP sessions was changed that ASN
is no longer prepended to BGP_PATH in that case. The change does not affect
regular BGP configurations or regular route servers that have only RS EBGP
peers. For BGP route servers and route reflectors, the default value of option
'next hop keep' was changed to a more appropriate value. Attributes for OSPF
and Babel metrics are no longer reset when exported to these protocols and could
be set anywhere in BIRD. As a result, OSPF metric is kept when a route is
reannounced between OSPF instances. Also, when route is exported to OSPF with
both ospf_metric1 and ospf_metric2 attributes it is now propagated as OSPF-E2
route instead of as OSPF-E1 route. Compiling BIRD with `--enable-debug` no
longer automatically activates debug mode (`-d` option) nor local mode (`-l`
option). Also, debug mode with output to file (`-D` option) no longer not forces
foreground mode (`-f` option). The `configure` script now uses standard option
`--runstatedir`, the old option `--with-runtimedir` is deprecated.
