+# Routing Lab
 
 Hi, this is [me](https://s3lph.me) getting some hands-on experience with routing protocols by building a small docker-compose based lab environment.

 > [!IMPORTANT]
 > This lab environment uses IPv6 **exclusively**.
 > [IPv6 support](https://docs.docker.com/config/daemon/ipv6/) **must** be enabled in Docker beforehand!
