2019-01-26Doc: Remove doc for already removed optionOndrej Zajicek (work)
2019-01-26BGP: Cleanup channels when going downOndrej Zajicek (work)
When going up, uncleaned old channel state may trigger unexpected conditions crashing bird.
2019-01-24OSPF: Opaque LSAs and Router Information LSAOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add support for OSPFv2 Opaque LSAs (RFC 5250) and for Router Information LSA (RFC 7770). The second part is here mainly for testing opaque LSAs.
2019-01-05NEWS and version updatev2.0.3Ondrej Zajicek (work)
2019-01-04Unix: Remove removed option from helpOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also includes minor cleanup of help.
2019-01-04BSD: Fix TCP-MD5 code on current FreeBSD kernelsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Current FreeBSD kernels require SA records for both directions. Thanks to Joseph Mulloy and Andrey V. Elsukov for reporting and solving the issue.
2019-01-03Doc: README and INSTALL updateOndrej Zajicek (work)
Minor cleanups, updates and clarifications. Also removes (incomplete and well-known) build steps from README, as they are better described in INSTALL.
2019-01-02BGP: Better dispatch of incoming connectionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Since v2 we have multiple listening BGP sockets, and each BGP protocol has associated one of them. Use listening socket that accepted the incoming connection as a key in the dispatch process so only BGP protocols assocaited with that listening socket can be selected. This is necesary for proper dispatch when VRFs are used.
2019-01-02BGP: Postpone setting link_addrOndrej Zajicek (work)
It may happen that the LLv6 address for given iface is not defined during BGP start, so we postpone the check to the the session establishment.
2018-12-28KRT: Fix debug messages in netlink codeArthur Gautier
2018-12-18IO: Workaround for broken FreeBSD behaviorOndrej Zajicek (work)
FreeBSD silently changes TTL to 1 when MSG_DONTROUTE is used, even when it is explicitly set to another value. That breaks TTL security sockets, including BFD which always uses TTL 255. Bad FreeBSD!
2018-12-18Perf: Protocol to measure BIRD performance internallyMaria Matějka
This protocol is highly experimental and nobody should use it in production. Anyway it may help you getting some insight into what eats so much time in filter processing.
2018-12-18Debug: support for -gdwarf-4 is not available everywhereJan Maria Matejka
2018-12-18Nest: Handle labels_orig correctly in attribute cacheOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-12-17OSPF: Fix wrong LSA collisions detectionOndrej Zajicek (work)
In some circumstances (old LSA flushed but not acknowledged and not removed) origination of a new LSA may wrongly triggers LSA collision code. The patch fixes that. Thanks to Asbjorn Mikkelsen for the bugreport and @mdelagueronniere for the original patch.
2018-12-16BGP: Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' optionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' options to have boolean values (enabled / disabled) and also values 'ibgp'/ 'ebgp' to restrict it to routes received from IBGP / EBGP. This allows to have it enabled by default in some cases, matches features of other implementations, and allows to handle some strange cases like EBGP border router with 'next hop self' also doing IBGP route reflecting. Change default of 'next hop keep' to enabled for route servers, and 'ibgp' for route reflectors. Update documentation for these options.
2018-12-16Nest: Fix handling of ECMP next hop flagsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Flag field was not copied when next hop was cached.
2018-12-16Nest: fix bug in previous patches related to channel reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch d506263d... blocked adding channel during reconfiguration, that broke protocols which use the same functiona also during init. This patch fixes that.
2018-12-16BGP: Better handling of non-matching AFI in nexthopsOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-12-14Doc: Rename code documentation files back to DocOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-12-14Doc: Move root of code documentation to doc dirOndrej Zajicek (work)
It reduces clutter in root and also avoid collision with doc dir on case-insensitive filesystems when name back to Doc.
2018-12-12BGP: Do not prepend ASN in export from non-RS EBGP to RS EBGPOndrej Zajicek (work)
When route is exported to regular EBGP, local ASN should be prepended to AS_PATH. When route is propagated by route server (between RS-marked EBGP peers), it should not change AS_PATH. Question is what to do in other cases (from non-RS EBGP, IBGP, or locally originated to RS EBGP). In 1.6.x, we did not prepend ASN in non-RS EBGP or IBGP to RS EBGP, but we prepended in local to RS EBGP. In 2.0.x, we changed that so only RS-EBGP to RS-EBGP is not prepended. We received some negative responses (thanks to heisenbug and Alexander Zubkov), we decided to change it back. One reason is that it is simple to modify the AS_PATH by filters, but not possible to un-modify changes done by BGP itself. Also, as 1.6.x behavior was not really consistent, the final behavior is that ASN is never prepended when exported to RS EBGP, like to IBGP. Note that i do not express an opinion about whether such configurations are even reasonable.

2018-12-12Doc: Document BGP import table optionOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-12-12Nest: Update statistics and rx-limit for Adj-RIB-InOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-12-12BGP: implement Adj-RIB-InOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch implements optional internal import table to a channel and hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-In. When enabled, all received (pre-filtered) routes are stored there and import filters can be re-evaluated without explicit route refresh. An import table can be examined using e.g. 'show route import table bgp1.ipv4'.
2018-12-11Doc: Fix typo in previous LinuxDoc changeOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-12-11Nest: Forbid adding channels during reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek (work)
When a new channel is found during reconfiguration, do force restart of the protocol, like with any other un-reconfigurable change. The old behavior was that the new channel was added but remained in down state, even if the protocol was up, so a manual protocol restart was often necessary. In the future this should be improved such that a reconfigurable channel addition (e.g. direct) is accepted and channel is started, while an un-reconfigurable addition forces protocol restart.
2018-12-10OSPF: Fix reconfiguration of vlinksOndrej Zajicek (work)
Fix crash during reconfiguration of OSPF config with vlinks. When vlink is reconfigured, a generic iface-reconfiguration code is used, which in one place supposes that it is running on a regular iface. Thanks to Cybertinus for a bugreport.
2018-12-06Merge branch 'mq-custom' into int-newJan Maria Matejka
2018-12-06Custom route attributesMaria Matejka
For local route marking purposes, local custom route attributes may be defined. These attributes are seamlessly stripped after export filter to every real protocol like Kernel, BGP or OSPF, they however pass through pipes. We currently allow at most 256 custom attributes. This should be much faster than currently used bgp communities for marking routes.
2018-12-04Doc: Allow overriding $SGML_CATALOG_FILES using distribution specific pathsRobert Scheck
2018-12-04Doc: Add alternative path for SGML ISO entities 8879.1986 to $SGML_CATALOG_FILESRobert Scheck
The existing paths are valid for Debian, alternative paths are necessary for Fedora and RHEL/CentOS.
2018-12-04Unix: Change debugging optionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
The old behavior was that enabling debugging did many nontrivial changes in BIRD behavior. The patch changes it that these changes are generally independent. Compiling with --enable-debug now just enables compile-time debug macros, but do not automatically activate debug mode (-d) nor local mode (-l). Debug mode with output to file (-D) do not force foreground mode (-f), therefore there is no need for backgroud option (-b), which is removed. Also fixes a bug when the default log target in -D mode was stderr instead of given debug file.
2018-12-04Hash: mem_hash doesn't modify the memory, declared constantJan Maria Matejka
2018-12-04Route table max hash size raised to 2^24.Jan Maria Matejka
This is still OK for everybody to fit into RAM and also probably enough to keep a little collision rate for full BGP table.
2018-12-04Changed IPv4 hash function to simple multiplication.Jan Maria Matejka
2018-12-04Terminology cleanup: The import_control hook is now called preexport.Jan Maria Matejka
Once upon a time, far far away, there were the old Bird developers discussing what direction of route flow shall be called import and export. They decided to say "import to protocol" and "export to table" when speaking about a protocol. When speaking about a table, they spoke about "importing to table" and "exporting to protocol". The latter terminology was adopted in configuration, then also the bird CLI in commit ea2ae6dd0 started to use it (in year 2009). Now it's 2018 and the terminology is the latter. Import is from protocol to table, export is from table to protocol. Anyway, there was still an import_control hook which executed right before route export. One thing is funny. There are two commits in April 1999 with just two minutes between them. The older announces the final settlement on config terminology, the newer uses the other definition. Let's see their commit messages as the git-log tool shows them (the newer first): commit 9e0e485e50ea74c4f1c5cb65bdfe6ce819c2cee2 Author: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> Date: Mon Apr 5 20:17:59 1999 +0000 Added some new protocol hooks (look at the comments for better explanation): make_tmp_attrs Convert inline attributes to ea_list store_tmp_attrs Convert ea_list to inline attributes import_control Pre-import decisions commit 5056c559c4eb253a4eee10cf35b694faec5265eb Author: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> Date: Mon Apr 5 20:15:31 1999 +0000 Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the final version: EXPORT <filter-spec> for outbound routes (i.e., those announced by BIRD to the rest of the world). IMPORT <filter-spec> for inbound routes (i.e., those imported by BIRD from the rest of the world). where <filter-spec> is one of: ALL pass all routes NONE drop all routes FILTER <name> use named filter FILTER { <filter> } use explicitly defined filter For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for a bird.conf example :)). Let's say RIP to this almost 19-years-old inconsistency. For now, if you import a route, it is always from protocol to table. If you export a route, it is always from table to protocol. And they lived happily ever after.
2018-11-28Nest: Do not hard-reset interface when preferred address is changedOndrej Zajicek (work)
Modify protocols to use preferred address change notification instead on depending on hard-reset of interfaces in that case, and remove hard-reset in that case. This avoids issue when e.g. IPv6 protocol restarts interface when IPv4 preferred address changed (as hard-reset is unavoidable and common for whole iface). The patch also fixes a bug when removing last address does not send preferred address change notification.
2018-11-21Autoconf: Minor cleanupOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-11-21MRT documentationOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-11-20The MRT protocolOndrej Zajicek (work)
The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more integrated into MRT in the future. Example: protocol mrt { table "*"; filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt"; period 60; } It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.
2018-11-18Unix: Implement log file size limit / log rotationOndrej Zajicek (work)
Allow to specify log file size limit and ensure that log file is rotated to secondary name to avoid exceeding of log size limit. The patch also fixes a bug related to keeping old fds open after reconfiguration and using old fds after 'configure undo'.
2018-11-18Unix: Refactor tracked filesOndrej Zajicek (work)
We need access to resource in order to free it.
2018-11-18Configure: Use standard --runstatedir optionOndrej Zajicek (work)
Newer Autoconf defines --runstatedir option for setting directory for run-time variable data. Use it instead our old --with-runtimedir.
2018-11-05Filter: Make ifname attribute modifiableOndrej Zajicek (work)
Allow to change an interface associated with a route by setting ifname attribute. It will also change the route to a direct one.
2018-11-05Nest: Fix crash in rta_show() for RPKI and Babel routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Some new route source values did not have associated string in rta_show(), which might caused crash in some cases.
2018-10-26BGP: Fix VRF for listening socketOndrej Zajicek (work)
Listening socket should be bound to specified interface and VRF. Thanks to Alexander Zubkov for the bugreport.
2018-10-25OSPF: Fix some trace messagesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Missing argument in MTU change trace message can crash bird when MTU change happens and trace messages are active. Thanks to Alexander Velkov for the bugreport.
