Zebra provided a high quality, multi server routing engine.
Zebra has an interactive user interface for each routing protocol and supports common client commands.
Zebra library can also be used as a program's client user interface.
The idea for Zebra originally came from Kunihiro Ishiguro, after he realized the need for quality routing software.
Ishiguro and Yoshikawa led the IP Infusion company and market a commercial version of Zebra, known as "ZebOS".
