BIRD
BIRD is a dynamic routing daemon for UNIX-like systems. It should support all routing protocols used in the contemporary Internet, such as BGP, OSPF, RIP, and their IPv6 variants. It also features a very flexible configuration mechanism, and a route filtering language.

Release Notes: Running with restricted privileges is now allowed. The community list filter operation was added. Several problems were fixed in the filter syntax, including several conflicts in the grammar and a bug in (a..b, c) pair patterns. Pair patterns were made orthogonal. Term expressions in pair patterns are allowed without additional parentheses. Several comma separated values are now allowed in switch cases. Many bugs were fixed.

Re: A very important project
For simulation of more routers in one computer use UML. Look at NetKit for a good example.
Re: A very important project
It would be nice to know how it is different from Zebra.
Also it seems to support multiple routing table, but it seems to lack a way to simulate a network by having multiple virtual router (not using real interface) talking to each other accross virtual interface (I was hoping the protocol "pipe" was that but... no).
A very important project
Kudos on bringing a software package out for this.
There is a real lack of support for OSPF and BGP
implementations that work on Linux or BSD.
