+# Ansible role service-bird
+
+Diese Ansible role installiert und konfiguriert den bird daemon.
+
+- installiert bird
+- aktiviert systemd units bird + bird6
+- schreibt bird.conf + bird6.conf
+- konfiguriert bird für iBGP mit allen anderen FFMWU-Servern
+
+Im iBGP peeren wir mangels separatem Transfernetz (im Moment) im Mainzer Mesh Netz.
+
+## Benötigte Variablen
+
+- Variable `bgp_loopback_net` # IPv4-Range des Mainzer Meshes, hieraus werden die Loopback Adressen gewählt.
+- Variable `bgp_ipv4_transfer_net` # IPv4-Range des Mainzer Meshes, das aktuell als Transfernetz benutzt wird.
+- Variable `bgp_ipv6_transfer_net` # IPv6-Range des Mainzer Meshes, das aktuell als Transfernetz benutzt wird.
+- Variable `bgp_as_private_mwu` # Private ASN von Freifunk MWU
+- Dictionary `bgp_mwu_servers`
+```

+    ipv4: 10.37.0.7 # IPv4-Adresse des Peers
