Welcome to XORP
XORP is the eXtensible Open Router Platform.
Our goal is to develop an open source software router platform that is stable and fully featured enough for production use, and flexible and extensible enough to enable network research. Currently XORP implements routing protocols for IPv4 and IPv6 and a unified means to configure them. In future, we would also like to support custom hardware and software forwarding architectures.
XORP is free. It is covered by a BSD-style license and is publicly available for research, development, and use.
The core team is based at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California, but contributors come from around the world.
Latest Release: 1.3
This release is available for download as a Live CD or as source code. See the release notes for information about changes between releases.
Check the XORP roadmap for our future plans.
