GoBGP-Netlink: BGP implementation in Go with Redistribution Support via Netlink

GoBGP-Netlink is an open source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation designed from scratch for modern environment and implemented in a modern programming language, the Go Programming Language.

It is a fork of gobgp that adds redistribution via Netlink to the Linux routing tables. Further information on this can be found in the Linux Netlink Integration section.

This fork is maintained by the PureLB Kubernetes Load Balancer team.
