TashTalk could be a stretch goal, if I can acquire one!
## Things that used to be caveats
* Previously it would listen for all EtherTalk traffic, regardless of destination.
Now it doesn't do that, which should help it co-exist with other routers on
the same host.
* You can configure an alternate Ethernet address if you are reusing the same
network interface for multiple different EtherTalk software.
* In addition to the configured EtherTalk network and zone, it now learns routes
and zones from other EtherTalk routers, and should share them across AURP.
* There's a status server. Browse to http://\[your router\]:9459/status to see
information about the state of jrouter.
## Caveats
Things I plan to fix Real Soon Now:
* ✅ Fixed ~~It currently listens to all AppleTalk and AARP traffic on the EtherTalk port.
This might not play well with other AppleTalk software, e.g. netatalk.~~
* ✅ Fixed ~~Also it currently uses the default Ethernet address for the interface for
sending packets. I plan to add the ability to configure a different address.~~
You can now configure a different Ethernet address for the EtherTalk
interface. I haven't tested it with netatalk or tashrouter on the same
host, but I think using a distinct Ethernet address would help them coexist.
* It currently ignores other AppleTalk routers on the EtherTalk side. This is
the next main thing to implement to make it work with e.g. netatalk.
* Some packet types need splitting to fit within limits. Some of these aren't
implemented yet (mainly encapsulated).
implemented yet (mainly encapsulated). The unimplemented ones seem unlikely to
hit those limits unless you are running a lot of routers or zones locally.
* I plan to add a Prometheus metrics endpoint and at least add log levels /
verbosity config.
* The AURP implementation is mostly there, but not fully complete. The main
