2017-12-07Babel: Revamp cost computation and run route selection when cost changeOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also fix several minor bugs and add 'limit' option for k-out-of-j link sensing strategy. Change default from 8-of-16 to 12-of-16. Change IHU expiry factor from 1.5 to 3.5 (as in RFC 6126).
2017-12-07Timers: Parse and format functions for microsecond timesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Date/time output (e.g. in logs, show commands) can use %f to specify subsecond time. By default, millisecond precision is used in output.

2017-09-06Basic VRF supportOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add basic VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) support. Protocols can be associated with VRFs, such protocols will be restricted to interfaces assigned to the VRF (as reported by Linux kernel) and will use sockets bound to the VRF. E.g., different multihop BGP instances can use diffent kernel routing tables to handle BGP TCP connections. The VRF support is preliminary, currently there are several limitations: - Recent Linux kernels (4.11) do not handle correctly sockets bound to interaces that are part of VRF, so most protocols other than multihop BGP do not work. This will be fixed by future kernel versions. - Neighbor cache ignores VRFs. Breaks config with the same prefix on local interfaces in different VRFs. Not much problem as single hop protocols do not work anyways. - Olock code ignores VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in different VRFs. - Incoming BGP connections are not dispatched according to VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in different VRFs. Perhaps we would need some kernel API to read VRF of incoming connection? Or probably use multiple listening sockets in int-new branch. - We should handle master VRF interface up/down events and perhaps disable associated protocols when VRF goes down. Or at least disable associated interfaces. - Also we should check if the master iface is really VRF iface and not some other kind of master iface. - BFD session request dispatch should be aware of VRFs. - Perhaps kernel protocol should read default kernel table ID from VRF iface so it is not necessary to configure it. - Perhaps we should have per-VRF default table.

2017-06-09Babel: Add documentation for dual-stack operation and optionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
This updates the documentation for the Babel protocol to mention the fact that it now supports dual-stack operation, and adds documentation for the new next hop options. Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> for the patch.

2017-04-26Doc: BIRD example updateOndrej Zajicek (work)
2017-04-25Nest: Update of show route cmdOndrej Zajicek (work)
Some code cleanup, multiple bugfixes, allows to specify also channel for 'show route export'. Interesting how such apparenty simple thing like show route cmd has plenty of ugly corner cases.
2017-04-12Client: multitable version of show routeJan Moskyto Matejka
2017-03-29Netlink: Change default kernel metric to 32Ondrej Zajicek (work)
This avoids collisions with non-BIRD routes in kernel tables.
2017-03-29BGP: Update list of supported standardsOndrej Zajicek (work)

2017-03-22Filter: Check whether IP is 4 or 6Jan Moskyto Matejka
2017-03-14Minor cleanupsOndrej Zajicek (work)
BTW, 'prefices' is hypercorrection, as 'prefix' is from 'praefixum' with plural 'praefixa'.
2017-03-14BGP: Allow to specify interface for regular sessionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
This may be useful if multple interfaces share the same network range. Thanks to Fritz Grimpen for the original patch.

Adds option 'allow bgp_local_pref' to override the usual restriction of LOCAL_PREF on eBGP sessions. Thanks to Lennert Buytenhek for the patch.

2016-12-07RPKI protocol with one cache server per protocolPavel Tvrdík
The RPKI protocol (RFC 6810) using the RTRLib (http://rpki.realmv6.org/) that is integrated inside the BIRD's code. Implemeted transports are: - unprotected transport over TCP - secure transport over SSHv2 Example configuration of bird.conf: ... roa4 table r4; roa6 table r6; protocol rpki { debug all; # Import both IPv4 and IPv6 ROAs roa4 { table r4; }; roa6 { table r6; }; # Set cache server (validator) address, # overwrite default port 323 remote "rpki-validator.realmv6.org" port 8282; # Overwrite default time intervals retry 10; # Default 600 seconds refresh 60; # Default 3600 seconds expire 600; # Default 7200 seconds } protocol rpki { debug all; # Import only IPv4 routes roa4 { table r4; }; # Set cache server address to localhost, # use default ports tcp => 323 or ssh => 22 remote 127.0.0.1; # Use SSH transport instead of unprotected transport over TCP ssh encryption { bird private key "/home/birdgeek/.ssh/id_rsa"; remote public key "/home/birdgeek/.ssh/known_hosts"; user "birdgeek"; }; } ...
