XORP routing services

XORP routing services were added to the development version of CORE (SVN snapshot) on 10/24/11. These services provide an alternative to Quagga routing, and include multicast routing support with PIM SM.
Similar to Quagga's zebra service, a unified configuration (/etc/xorp/config.boot) is written by the xorp_rtrmgr (router manager) service. This means that once you have enabled XORP protocols, use the customize button next to the xorp_rtrmgr service to edit the config file.

The default router node type still uses Quagga's OSPF, but you can create your own node types that use XORP protocols as default.
