[Babel-users] Coexistence of multiple babel daemons on the same host

I hope you know what you're doing.

The simplest solution would be to run each daemon in a different container.

If you don't want to use containers, you'll want to use separate routing
tables for the two daemons, and then set up the correct routing rules.
First configure the routing rule:

    ip rule add lookup 42

then run babeld in table 42:

    import-table 42
    export-table 42

No, there's no relation between the link-local address and the routing
table.
