RustyBGP: BGP implementation in Rust

The mission is to develop a high-performance, low-memory-footprint, and safe BGP implementation; an experiment to implement aged and rusty BGP protocol in a modern language.

RustyBGP supports the gRPC APIs same as GoBGP; your code to manage GoBGP via the APIs should work with RustyBGP. If you need CLI, GoBGP's CLI command allows you to manage RustyBGP.

Get Started

You can easily build RusyBGP on any system that has Docker running. You don't need Rust development environment. You can build the x86_64 statically-linked binary as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/osrg/rustybgp.git
$ cd rustybgp
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/home/rust/src ekidd/rust-musl-builder cargo build --release
$ ls -hl target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/daemon
-rwxr-xr-x 2 fujita fujita 8.1M Dec  6 12:26 target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/daemon

No configuration file support; only via the gRPC API. You can use GoBGP's CLI command.

$ sudo ./target/debug/daemon
Hello, RustyBGP!

Then you can manage the daemon on a different terminal.

$ gobgp global as 65001 router-id 1.1.1.1
$ gobgp neighbor add 10.0.0.2 as 65002
$ gobgp neighbor
Peer        AS Up/Down State       |#Received  Accepted
10.0.0.2 65002   never Idle        |        0         0

If you just want to check out the performance, start the daemon with --any-peers option. The daemon accepts any peers without configuration.

$ sudo ./target/debug/daemon --as-number 65001 --router-id 1.1.1.1 --any-peers
Hello, RustyBGP!

Supported Features

Currently, the very basic BGP features are supported; eBGP and iBGP, acstive/passive connection, etc with the following gRPC APIs.

API	Relevant CLI	Note
start_bgp	gobgp global as <VALUE> router-id <IP>
get_bgp	gobgp global
add_peer	gobgp neighbor add <IP> as <VALUE> router-id <IP>	only v4/v6 families supported, no fancy capabilities like addpath
delete_peer	gobgp neighbor del <IP>
list_peer	gobgp neighbor/gobgp neighbor <IP>
enable_peer	gobgp neighbor <IP> enable
disable_peer	gobgp neighbor <IP> disable
add_path	gobgp global rib add <PREFIX>
delete_path	gobgp global rib del <PREFIX>
list_path	gobgp global rib/gobgp neighbor <IP> [adj-in|adj-out]
add_path_stream	gobgp mrt global inject [FILE]
get_table	gobgp global rib summary
add_bmp	gobgp bmp add <IP>
add_rpki	gobgp rpki server <IP> add
list_rpki	gobgp rpki server
list_rpki_table	gobgp rpki table
