FreeBSD is developed as a complete operating system. It is a Unix-like free operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) branch through the 386BSD and 4.4BSD operating systems. FreeBSD has been characterized as "the unknown giant among free operating systems". It is not a clone of UNIX, but works like UNIX, with UNIX-compliant internals and system APIs. FreeBSD is generally regarded as reliable and robust.
This book covers using jails—FreeBSD virtual environments—
The book explains basic IP forwarding in FreeBSD and the use of the built-in routing daemons, routed and route6d, which support RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, and RDISC. It teaches users to install the OpenOSPFD and OpenBGPD daemons to run OSPF and BGP on their host.
