[dev] [FROG] FRR on NRL CORE (fyi)

[Phil Wiggins]

Hi Donald,

Following up to my earlier email -- Now that Dave Lamparter's repository is
available ( https://deb.frrouting.org/ ) for easy installation on Ubuntu,
I've built a patch to the CORE emulator to incorporate FRR as a routing
service.  The pull request has been sent upstream so hopefully it will be
part of the next CORE release.

Cheers,

Phil
