Not sure if this will help but... from a previous email on the list

It is the time to update on the new routing protocol daemon, "babeld",
which is available in the development branches of Quagga.

Babel is a routing protocol designed by Juliusz Chroboczek with the
specific purpose of routing wireless networks in mind. The protocol
used to be implemented in a standalone babeld software, and Juliusz's
colleague, Matthieu Boutier, is now making it available as one of the
Quagga components. I have personally verified, that the involved
changes do not interfere with any other Quagga daemon (at least in the
RE-testing-0.99 branch), and that the current implementation allows a
couple of routers to learn each other's IPv6 loopback addresses over a
IPv6 link and install respective routes into kernel FIB. Matthieu and
Juliusz can surely refer to examples of larger-scale deployments of
Babel.

Getting your own Babel testbed is as easy as checking Quagga out of
git and building it. To be specific, the following branches at the
time of this writing are known to work:

git://code.quagga.net/quagga-RE.git (commit f05fecd)
git://github.com/boutier/babeld-for-quagga.git (commit 78b1013)
