Unlike BIRD or Quagga, ExaBGP was not designed to transform a general purpose server into a router, but to allow engineers to control their BGP (rfc4271) network easily. Think of it as Software Defined Networking for people with "commodity" routers. ExaBGP transform BGP (rfc4271) messages into friendly plain text or JSON which can be easily manipulate by scripts. It allows the creation of tools such as: * advanced looking glass graphically display the routing of prefix * high availability tool which automatically isolate broken services * DDOS mitigation * an anycasted server
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
