Gateway Daemon Software

在包交换计算机通信网络中，网络节点使用“路由协议”来格式化它们彼此交换的有关当前路径（或路由）的信息，数据包必须经过该路径（或路由）才能在任意源之间传输，并且它是其中的一部分，包括采用几种不同路由协议的异构网络节点。为了网络的和谐运行，不同协议之间需要一个翻译器，也需要一种方法来调解它们偶尔不一致的信息。康奈尔大学建议完成软件开发来完成这些复杂的任务，将其“部分”到最普遍的UNIX操作系统版本中，并将其提供给NSFNET和Internet社区。

In a packet-switching computer communications network, a "routing protocol" is used by network nodes to format the information they exchange with one another concerning the current path (or route) that packets must traverse to travel between arbitrary source and of which it is a part, comprises heterogeneous network nodes employing several different routing protocols. For harmonious operation of the networks, a translator among the different protocols is needed, as well as a way to mediate their occassionally inconsistant information. Cornell University propose to complete the development of software to accomplish these complex tasks, "part" it to the most prevalant versions of the ubiquitous UNIX operating systems, and make it available to the NSFNET and Internet communities.
