## A note on running FRR daemons on hosts
It is a bit unusual to run the FRR daemons on the end-hosts as they are not
routers and do not need anything other than an IP address and a default route.
This could be achieved in Mininet in different ways using Python. However, by

files read in at startup. This makes it much easier to define and maintain
topologies because as it keeps all IP address configuration for end-hosts in
