1999-05-17From now we support multiple tables. The master_table variable isMartin Mares
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional argument telling which table should they modify. Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol. The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also all their connections.
1999-04-05Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the finalMartin Mares
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 :)).
1999-03-29After today's lengthy discussions about filter syntax, let's clean upMartin Mares
whitespace/semicolon rules for whole config file: o All non-zero amounts of whitespace are equivalent to single space (aka `all the whitespace has been born equal' ;-)). o Comments count as whitespace. o Whitespace has no syntactic signifance (it can only separate lexical elements). o Consequence: line ends are no longer treated as `;'s. o Every declaration must be terminated by an explicit `;' unless or by a group enclosed in `{' and `}'.
1999-03-26Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.Martin Mares
o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started. o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that it will be possible to feed different device routes to different routing tables once multiple tables get supported). See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
1999-03-17Allow input and output filters (only accept/reject style as we didn't defineMartin Mares
modifying filters yet) to be attached to protocol instances.
1999-02-05Implemented new configuration/reconfiguration interface and defined protocolMartin Mares
state machines. Full explanation will follow soon.
1998-12-06Name cleanups as suggested by Pavel:Martin Mares
- cfg_strcpy() -> cfg_strdup() - mempool -> linpool, mp_* -> lp_* [to avoid confusion with memblock, mb_*] Anyway, it might be better to stop ranting about names and do some *real* work.
1998-11-29Added configuration of the device internal protocol. This is primarilyMartin Mares
intended to serve as an example of interface pattern list use. As a side effect, you can disable generating of device routes by disabling this protocol.
1998-11-29Allow setting debug value and `disabled' flag in protocol definition.Martin Mares
1998-11-27Oops, forgot to remove a debugging kludge.Martin Mares
1998-11-27Trivial 15-line bison excercise: Implemented expressions includingMartin Mares
user-defined numeric symbols. Whenever possible, use `expr' instead of `NUM' to get full express ion power :-)
1998-11-27First attempt at protocol configuration (now done only for RIP).Martin Mares
1998-11-27Parser fragment for the core. Now handles only router ID setting.Martin Mares
