For large networks, static routes quickly become unscalable. FreeBSD comes with the standard
<acronym>BSD
</acronym> routing daemon
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>routed
</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8
</manvolnum></citerefentry>, which provides the routing protocols
<acronym>RIP
</acronym>, versions 1 and 2, and
<acronym>IRDP
</acronym>. Support for the
<acronym>BGP
</acronym> and
<acronym>OSPF
</acronym> routing protocols can be installed using the
<package>net/zebra
</package> package or port.
