### Creating new Services
## New Services
Services can save time required to configure nodes, especially if a number
of nodes require similar configuration procedures. New services can be
introduced to automate tasks.
### Leveraging UserDefined
The easiest way to capture the configuration of a new process into a service
is by using the **UserDefined** service. This is a blank service where any
aspect may be customized. The UserDefined service is convenient for testing
ideas for a service before adding a new service type.
To introduce new service types, a **myservices/** directory exists in the
user's CORE configuration directory, at **~/.core/myservices/**. A detailed
**README.txt** file exists in that directory to outline the steps necessary
for adding a new service. First, you need to create a small Python file that
defines the service; then the **custom_services_dir** entry must be set
in the **/etc/core/core.conf** configuration file. A sample is provided in
the **myservices/** directory.
### Creating New Service
**NOTE:**
1. Modify the [Example Service File](/daemon/examples/myservices/sample.py)
to do what you want. It could generate config/script files, mount per-node
directories, start processes/scripts, etc. sample.py is a Python file that
defines one or more classes to be imported. You can create multiple Python
files that will be imported. Add any new filenames to the __init__.py file.
2. Put these files in a directory such as /home/username/.core/myservices
Note that the last component of this directory name **myservices** should not
be named something like **services** which conflicts with an existing Python
name (the syntax 'from myservices import *' is used).
3. Add a **custom_services_dir = /home/username/.core/myservices** entry to the
/etc/core/core.conf file.
**NOTE:**
The directory name used in **custom_services_dir** should be unique and
should not correspond to
any existing Python module name. For example, don't use the name **subprocess**
or **services**.
4. Restart the CORE daemon (core-daemon). Any import errors (Python syntax)
should be displayed in the /var/log/core-daemon.log log file (or on screen).
5. Start using your custom service on your nodes. You can create a new node
type that uses your service, or change the default services for an existing
node type, or change individual nodes.
If you have created a new service type that may be useful to others, please
consider contributing it to the CORE project.
Here is an example service with documentation describing functionality:

#### BIRD Internet Routing Daemon
### BIRD Internet Routing Daemon
The [BIRD Internet Routing Daemon](https://bird.network.cz/) is a routing daemon; i.e., a software responsible for managing kernel packet forwarding tables. It aims to develop a dynamic IP routing daemon with full support of all modern routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and powerful route filtering language, primarily targeted on (but not limited to) Linux and other UNIX-like systems and distributed under the GNU General Public License. BIRD has a free implementation of several well known and common routing and router-supplemental protocols, namely RIP, RIPng, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, BGP, BFD, and NDP/RA. BIRD supports IPv4 and IPv6 address families, Linux kernel and several BSD variants (tested on FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD). BIRD consists of bird daemon and birdc interactive CLI client used for supervision.
In order to be able to use the BIRD Internet Routing Protocol, you must first install the project on your machine.

In order to be able to do use the Bird Internet Routing Protocol, you must modify *bird.conf* due to the fact that the given configuration file is not configured beyond allowing the bird daemon to start, which means that nothing else will happen if you run it. Keeran Marquis has a very detailed example on [Configuring BGP using Bird on Ubuntu](https://blog.marquis.co/configuring-bgp-using-bird-on-ubuntu-14-04lts/) which can be used as a building block to implement your custom routing daemon.
#### FRRouting
### FRRouting
FRRouting is a routing software package that provides TCP/IP based routing services with routing protocols support such as BGP, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS and more. FRR also supports special BGP Route Reflector and Route Server behavior. In addition to traditional IPv4 routing protocols, FRR also supports IPv6 routing protocols. With an SNMP daemon that supports the AgentX protocol, FRR provides routing protocol MIB read-only access (SNMP Support).

#### NRL Services
### NRL Services
The Protean Protocol Prototyping Library (ProtoLib) is a cross-platform library that allows applications to be built while supporting a variety of platforms including Linux, Windows, WinCE/PocketPC, MacOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc as well as the simulation environments of NS2 and Opnet. The goal of the Protolib is to provide a set of simple, cross-platform C++ classes that allow development of network protocols and applications that can run on different platforms and in network simulation environments. While Protolib provides an overall framework for developing working protocol implementations, applications, and simulation modules, the individual classes are designed for use as stand-alone components when possible. Although Protolib is principally for research purposes, the code has been constructed to provide robust, efficient performance and adaptability to real applications. In some cases, the code consists of data structures, etc useful in protocol implementations and, in other cases, provides common, cross-platform interfaces to system services and functions (e.g., sockets, timers, routing tables, etc).

#### Quagga Routing Suite
### Quagga Routing Suite
Quagga is a routing software suite, providing implementations of OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP v1 and v2, RIPng and BGP-4 for Unix platforms, particularly FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris and NetBSD. Quagga is a fork of GNU Zebra which was developed by Kunihiro Ishiguro.
The Quagga architecture consists of a core daemon, zebra, which acts as an abstraction layer to the underlying Unix kernel and presents the Zserv API over a Unix or TCP stream to Quagga clients. It is these Zserv clients which typically implement a routing protocol and communicate routing updates to the zebra daemon.

UCARP allows a couple of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses in order to provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland implementation of the secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD's alternative to the patents-bloated VRRP).
Strong points of the CARP protocol are: very low overhead, cryptographically signed messages, interoperability between different operating systems and no need for any dedicated extra network link between redundant hosts.

XORP is an open networking platform that supports OSPF, RIP, BGP, OLSR, VRRP, PIM, IGMP (Multicast) and other routing protocols. Most protocols support IPv4 and IPv6 where applicable. It is known to work on various Linux distributions and flavors of BSD.
XORP started life as a project at the ICSI Center for Open Networking (ICON) at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, California, USA, and spent some time with the team at XORP, Inc. It is now maintained and improved on a volunteer basis by a core of long-term XORP developers and some newer contributors.
