2022-01-08IO: Support nonlocal bind in socket interfaceAlexander Zubkov
Add option to socket interface for nonlocal binding, i.e. binding to an IP address that is not present on interfaces. This behaviour is enabled when SKF_FREEBIND socket flag is set. For Linux systems, it is implemented by IP_FREEBIND socket flag. Minor changes done by commiter.
2020-04-09Configuration strings are constant.Maria Matejka
This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.
2020-02-27BGP: Support for MD5SIG together with remote rangeOndrej Zajicek (work)
When dynamic BGP with remote range is configured, MD5SIG needs to use newer socket option (TCP_MD5SIG_EXT) to specify remote addres range for listening socket. Thanks to Adam Kułagowski for the suggestion.
2019-08-12RAdv: Allow solicited RAs to be sent as unicastOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add option to send solicited router advertisements as unicast directly to soliciting nodes instead of as multicast to all-nodes group.

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.

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"; }; } ...

Add code for manipulation with TCP-MD5 keys in the IPsec SA/SP database at FreeBSD systems. Now, BGP MD5 authentication (RFC 2385) keys are handled automatically on both Linux and FreeBSD. Based on patches from Pavel Tvrdik.

2016-04-06IO: Replace RX priority heuristic with explicit markOndrej Zajicek (work)
In BIRD, RX has lower priority than TX with the exception of RX from control socket. The patch replaces heuristic based on socket type with explicit mark and uses it for both control socket and BGP session waiting to be established. This should avoid an issue when during heavy load, outgoing connection could connect (TX event), send open, but then failed to receive OPEN / establish in time, not sending notifications between and therefore got hold timer expired error from the neighbor immediately after it finally established the connection.

2014-02-06Many changes in I/O and OSPF sockets and packet handling.Ondrej Zajicek
I/O: - BSD: specify src addr on IP sockets by IP_HDRINCL - BSD: specify src addr on UDP sockets by IP_SENDSRCADDR - Linux: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IP_PKTINFO - IPv6: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IPV6_PKTINFO - Alternative SKF_BIND flag for binding to IP address - Allows IP/UDP sockets without tx_hook, on these sockets a packet is discarded when TX queue is full - Use consistently SOL_ for socket layer values. OSPF: - Packet src addr is always explicitly set - Support for secondary addresses in BSD - Dynamic RX/TX buffers - Fixes some minor buffer overruns - Interface option 'tx length' - Names for vlink pseudoifaces (vlinkX) - Vlinks use separate socket for TX - Vlinks do not use fixed associated iface - Fixes TTL for direct unicast packets - Fixes DONTROUTE for OSPF sockets - Use ifa->ifname instead of ifa->iface->name

2009-10-11Workaround for stupid callback scheduler.Ondrej Zajicek
There is no reak callback scheduler and previous behavior causes bad things during hard congestion (like BGP hold timeouts). Smart callback scheduler is still missing, but main loop was changed such that it first processes all tx callbacks (which are fast enough) (but max 4* per socket) + rx callbacks for CLI, and in the second phase it processes one rx callback per socket up to four sockets (as rx callback can be slow when there are too many protocols, because route redistribution is done synchronously inside rx callback). If there is event callback ready, second phase is skipped in 90% of iterations (to speed up CLI during congestion).

you can delete the socket from anywhere in the hooks and nothing should break. Also, the receive/transmit buffers are now regular xmalloc()'ed buffers, not separate resources which would need shuffling around between pools. sk_close() is gone, use rfree() instead.
