Gateway Daemon Software

在分组交换计算机通信网络中， 网络节点使用“路由协议”来格式化 他们互相交换关于当前 数据包必须经过的路径（或路由） 任意源，并且它是其中的一部分，包括 采用几种不同路由的异构网络节点 协议. 为了网络的和谐运行， 需要不同协议之间的转换器，以及 调解他们偶尔不一致的信息的方法。 康奈尔大学建议完成开发 软件来完成这些复杂的任务，“部分”它的最 普遍存在的UNIX操作系统的流行版本，以及 将其提供给NSFNET和互联网社区。

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.
