Linux做一个功能完备的路由器（国外英文资料） Topic: Linux makes a fully functional router (turn) Sender: bjbean (Beijing bean) Organizing person: calyon 818 (2001-06-14 00:31:12), inside the letter Lets all be watching This paper mainly introduces how to use a fully functional Linux do routers, here will focus on static router and dynamic router configuration, but does not include IP camouflage or public issues such as an IP address to access the outside network. It is not part of the discussion of this topic, please refer to other contents such as the configuration of the firewall. The Linux Router Project has been around for several years. The goal of the program is to use the Linux operating system to use the old PC, such as 486, as a network router. A router that USES the low cost of Linux can attract a wide range of attention in the corporate world. As StoneFly Technology systems integration engineer Bret Berger says, cannot afford to pay two thousand (us $), Cisco router Cisco users, using 486 plus a couple of Ethernet card, as routers use, is another option. This is a good solution for small businesses, small isps, and even government agencies. In fact, the solution is being used in many places at home. Since the LRP program has simplified the source code for Linux, LRP software can be less than 2MB, while LRP software can be put into a floppy disk. In other words, LPR can be used in a computer without a hard drive. Virtual Design Group, a software engineer Michael Kornegay, said they have Linux router software installed on an old x86 PCS, plus two Ethernet card, hard disk device is not used, just use a floppy disk boot, was used as the router and firewall of spring type. We in this chapter is not to teach you how to make less than 2 MB of LRP packages, but tell you how to use Linux to get a good performance, low cost of the router. While the cost of using Linux to build routers is cheap, there is still a distance between performance and efficiency compared to real routers. This
