Hi.

Start with RFC-1009, and also get involved with the "router requirements
working group" of the IETF.

--jon.

	I'm thinking about implementing an IP router, but I have no idea where
	to start. I've browsed through the RFC index and a few RFC's themselves
	but there doesn't appear to be anything directly related to routers.

	I'm looking basically for 4 things:
	1) Related RFC's
	2) Books and other text that might help
	3) Public Domain implementations, hopefully source, to test mine with
	4) Advice

	Thanks.
