Dear RIFT’ers,

as mentioned at the last IETF we are releasing a limited standalone binary RIFT package for public availability. In very short, it allows to configure on a Linux or OSX a self-contained environment supporting configuration of IP fabrics and ultimately running them with RIFT on each of the switches.

To download please visit:

https://www.juniper.net/us/en/dm/free-rift-trial/

You will have to follow the first two steps to be able to access the download in the last, third step

Step 1: Create a juniper website account
Step 2: Important! Request access to the RIFT trial. Once it’s granted, you can download RIFT in Step 3, otherwise you will get an “account privileges do not permit access” error.

After the package is downloaded, please follow the INSTALL and README files carefully.

The implementation covers a good amount of the current RIFT specification and allows for extensive experimentation. We hope that using the package helps with understanding of RIFT concepts and real-time behavior and encourage workgroup participation.

The package allows for interoperability testing as well so we hope for attempts at public domain open-source implementations of at least a leaf version.

We welcome any constructive feedback.

Updated packages will be released regularly based on changes in specification, development and feedback.

If you have a Mac I recommend OSX version at the moment, the Linux version works fine but needs currently more resources and is somewhat slower.

Enjoy …
