+# bird-flowspec-daemon
+
+This is a daemon that connects to the Bird (version 2 required) routing daemon and regularly applies the flowspec rules to the host.
+Currently, the following actions are supported (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8955#traffic_extended_communities for more information):
+- `traffic-rate-bytes`
+- `traffic-rate-packets`
+
+### Requirements
+- Bird 2 or newer
+- Nftables (see installation instructions for further information)
+
+### Installation
+This project requires the following structure in nftables:
+```shell
+#!/usr/sbin/nft -f
+
+table inet filter {
+  chain flowspec {} # Flowspec rules will be managed in here
+  chain input {
+    type filter hook input priority filter; policy accept;
+  }
+  chain forward {
+    type filter hook forward priority filter; policy accept;
+    jump flowspec # Jump to the flowspec chain to apply the rules
+  }
+  chain output {
+    type filter hook output priority filter; policy accept;
+  }
+}
+```
+The flowspec rules will be inserted into the `flowspec` chain. A jump / goto to this chain is required in order to apply the rules.
+
+### Configuration
+Configuration can be done via command line arguments or environment variables.
+This repository contains an example systemd service file that can be used to start the daemon.
+
+The following options are available:
+```
+Flags:
+  -h, --[no-]help            Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
+  -d, --[no-]debug           Enable debug mode
+      --bird-socket=/run/bird/bird.ctl
+                             Path to BIRD socket ($BIRD_SOCKET_PATH)
+      --metrics.listen-address="127.0.0.1:9302"
+                             Address to listen on for metrics
+      --interval=10s         Interval to check for new routes ($CHECK_INTERVAL)
+      --[no-]enable-counter  Enable counter in nftables rules ($ENABLE_COUNTER)
+```
