- src contains the main sources
- cfg contains the self tests
- misc contains some smaller subprojects, see below

- binImg outcome of demo vm creation
- binOut output of compilation
- binTmp output of testing

- c.sh to compile
- r.sh to run
- t.sh to selftest
as a first start to get your routers up, do the following:
- cd src
- ./c.sh
- ./tw.sh rout-bgp001
- telnet 127.0.0.1 20001
- telnet 127.0.0.1 20002
- telnet 127.0.0.1 20003

contributing
to start coding on the project, take a look on the following:
- grep me-the in the sources to see how to add a show command
- grep ifcHdlc to see how to add a new interface encapsulation
- take a look on rtrDownload to see an exmaple routing protocol
- in most of the folders there is a class to extend or implment
feel free to reach us on the mailing lists with your patches, ideas, feature requests, etc
