Babel is a loop-avoiding distance-vector routing protocol roughly
based on HSDV and AODV, but with provisions for link cost estimation
and injection of external routes.

===========================
$ babel $IPv6 eth1
$ babel -X $IPv6 0 $IPv6 eth1
If your node has multiple interfaces which you want to participate in
the Babel network, just list them all:
# babel $IPv6 eth0 eth1 sit1
# babel -X $IPv6 0 $IPv6 eth0 eth1 sit1
If your node has multiple addresses and you want all of them to
participate in the routing protocol, inject the other addresses as
zero-cost external routes:
participate in the routing protocol, just repeat the ``-X'' option
multiple times:
# babel -X $IPv6-2 0 -X $IPv6-3 0 $IPv6 eth1
# babel -X $IPv6 0 -X $IPv6-2 0 -X $IPv6-3 0 $IPv6 eth1
On a gateway to the Internet, you'll want to redistribute the default
route into the mesh network:
# babel -x default 256 $IPv6 eth1
# babel -X $IPv6 0 -x default 256 $IPv6 eth1
If you find all of this too complicated and error-prone (as I do), you
may want to consider autoconfiguring your routing domain using AHCP:
