Using a custom forwarding plane

[Jigar Mehta]

I am new to BIRD and routing engines in general. I needed to understand
feasibility of using BIRD if the device has its own custom forwarding plane
instead of letting Kernel do the forwarding.
I have read through the coder's/user's documents but did not find answers
to few questions :

1. What is the best possible way of getting routes and route updates from
Bird. I am looking for something like FPM interface provided by Quagga. I
also wanted to store these routes in a mysql database for the purpose of my
product.

2. How does Device protocol deal with TUN/TAP interfaces. Does it treat
like a regular iface or do i need any special handling for them.
