Quagga is the package/project name and it's a fork of the older Zebra
routing suite.  For a routed replacement, which, AFAIK, was only for the
RIP protocol, you would use the ripd or ripngd in that package.  The
master daemon which manages interfaces, adding/deleting routes,
advertising IPv6, is Zebra.

Quagga also includes support for bgp, ospf, ospf6, and should also
include IS-IS but that appears to be missing in action.  In many ways,
IMHO, ospf is better than rip anyways.  You would only be using BGP or
IS-IS if you were doing routing between exterior networks or gateways.

Regards,
Mike
