Super lightweight RIPv2 beacon
RIPster is a lightweight, easy to use, single binary Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2) and next generation (RIPng) client written in Go. RIPster advertises static or Docker Ipvlan L3 routes from the end-host, using the RIP unsolicited routing update messages. RIPster does not receive RIP updates or alter the local routing table.
RIPster must run with sufficient permissions to bind on UDP port 520. If unsure, use sudo.
$ sudo ./ripster --static-routes=7.7.0.0/16
2016-06-21 21:39:12 INFO Adding 7.7.0.0/16 from 10.0.0.100 (static)

RIPster can advertise Docker ipvlan network driver routes, when ipvlan network is in L3 mode. You should run RIPster on Docker host. RIPster then queries Docker API to fetch the list of all ipvlan networks. RIPster then advertises all ipvlan networks and all running containers with an IP address in in ipvlan network from the ipvlan parent interface.
