RARE user and assistance email list

[Tim Chown <>]

Hi Eoin,

I think this is just another very good example of the benefit of having an 
open, community developed platform such as RARE running FreeRtr.  New 
features can be added reasonably quickly based on user requests from the 
community, such as PolKA, the policy routing for CERN, and the AMT relay for 
the BIER/AMT work with IETF participants.

Best wishes,
Tim
