Quagga is a routing software suite, providing implementations of OSPF 2, OSPF 3, RIP 1 and 2, RIP 3 and BGP 4 for Unix platforms, particularly FreeBSD, Linux, and NetBSD.
A South African wild ass (Equus quagga syn. Hippotigris quagga). The upper parts are reddish brown, becoming paler behind and behind and beneath, with dark stripes on the face, neck, and fore part of the body. The species became extinct in the late 1800's, largely due to excessive hunting.
( Equus quagga) Recently extinct (1880s), the quagga was closely related to horses and zebras. It was a yellowish-brown zebra with stripes only on its head, neck, and forebody. The quagga was native to desert areas of the African continent until it was exterminated in the wild in the 1870s.
mammal of South Africa that resembled a zebra; extinct since late 19th century
The Quagga is a recently-extinct relative of the zebra and the horse.
probably a misprint for quaggoth, a big, shaggy, ferocious humanoid creature. Real quaggas are striped donkey-like animals, now extinct.
The quagga is an extinct subspecies of the plains zebra, which was once found in great numbers in South Africa's Cape Province and the southern part of the Orange Free State. It was distinguished from other zebras by having the usual vivid marks on the front part of the body only. In the mid-section, the stripes faded and the dark, inter-stripe spaces became wider, and the hindquarters were a plain brown.
Quagga is a free software routing suite, providing implementations of OSPF (v2 & v3), RIP (v1, v2 & v3) and BGP (v4) for Unix platforms, particularly Free BSD, GNU/Linux, Solaris and Net BSD. Quagga is a fork of the GNU Zebra project (inactive since 2003) which was developed by Kunihiro Ishiguro. The Quagga tree aims to build a more involved community around Quagga than the current centralised model of GNU Zebra.
