RSPF is a wireless network routing protocol for radio communication, facilitating shortest path calculation.
RSPF version 2.2 was developed by Fred Goldstein K1IO to address these issues. Previously, the NOS program version of RSPF, written by Phil Karn and others, was the primary implementation being used. However, these standard protocols did not work well over amateur packet radio. Fred Goldstein K1IO updated and improved RSPF based on his experience with the protocol in real-life scenarios.
It was during this time that the reviewer, while completing their undergraduate degree at the University of Technology, Sydney, became interested in the RSPF protocol. They were inspired by an email from Carl Makin VK1KCM asking if anyone was going to fix RSPF in NOS program. This gave them the idea for their thesis.
The latest release of RSPF comes with several new features and bug fixes. These include the control port speaking IPv6, a prettier ChangeLog, fixed checksum code, and implementation of syslog(). Overall, RSPF is a solid routing protocol that is well-suited for wireless networks.
