Hi RARE/freeRtr  users & developers,

As it is the custom, the RARE/freeRtr team is wishing you all happy new year 2022 !

I hope you had a good rest and recharged your battery for this exciting new year. :)

As a new year begins, as we say in French: « Nous avons pris de bonnes resolutions pour 2022 ! »

WTR to the project, one of this resolution is to spread and increase RARE/freeRtr usage.  

How can this be effectively done ? 

1) By providing a fantastic and intuitive user experience.

2) By providing as much as documentation & material

Regarding the second point I’m pleased to announce that we have added a "reference » section in RARE/freeRtr documentation web site:

https://docs.freertr.net/

1- All features in one page

2- Features by category

These 2 pages are closed to the original one from freertr.org, one major difference is that the test case describing has a diagram tab folder:

We hope that this will help people visualise how to better understand feature configuration and verification.

The diagrams has a lot of room for improvement. Reflecting BGP domain, IGP domain etc. The good news is that NeXt-UI _javascript_ library has tons of features that can be leverage in order to render these information into the diagram.

It took a lof of time / trials / tests so sorry for the delay in making this reference available, but I feel that the result is practical and at least will engage the users more intuitively.

I’m by no mean a web/_javascript_ experts so if you feel that you have some expertise in your sleeves, please feel free to reach us out and improve this documentation altogether.

**IMPORTANT**:

- please provide all the feedbacks you can as I’m sure that some inconsistencies unfortunately slipped into the parsing process.

- All of this rendering is fully automated (2520 tests !), so bear with us if some diagrams are not rendered properly. P4lang and Intop(x) test cases have no digram for example, but this is just a matter of time ! These should be available subsequently :)

Once again, HAPPY EW YEAR, and … HAPPY NETWORKING !

 

Sincerely,

RARE/team
