2023-10-04MPLS: Implement FEC map reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek
This allows changing label policy or label range without restart.
2023-10-04MPLS subsystemOndrej Zajicek
The MPLS subsystem manages MPLS labels and handles their allocation to MPLS-aware routing protocols. These labels are then attached to IP or VPN routes representing label switched paths -- LSPs. There was already a preliminary MPLS support consisting of MPLS label net_addr, MPLS routing tables with static MPLS routes, remote labels in next hops, and kernel protocol support. This patch adds the MPLS domain as a basic structure representing local label space with dynamic label allocator and configurable label ranges. To represent LSPs, allocated local labels can be attached as route attributes to IP or VPN routes with local labels as attributes. There are several steps for handling LSP routes in routing protocols -- deciding to which forwarding equivalence class (FEC) the LSP route belongs, allocating labels for new FECs, announcing MPLS routes for new FECs, attaching labels to LSP routes. The FEC map structure implements basic code for managing FECs in routing protocols, therefore existing protocols can be made MPLS-aware by adding FEC map and delegating most work related to local label management to it.
2023-09-26Basic route aggregationIgor Putovny
Add a new protocol offering route aggregation. User can specify list of route attributes in the configuration file and run route aggregation on the export side of the pipe protocol. Routes are sorted and for every group of equivalent routes new route is created and exported to the routing table. It is also possible to specify filter which will run for every route before aggregation. Furthermore, it will be possible to set attributes of new routes according to attributes of the aggregated routes. This is a work in progress. Original work by Igor Putovny, subsequent cleanups and finalization by Maria Matejka.

2023-08-21BMP: Use generic channel feed instead of direct walk over rtableOndrej Zajicek
Now we use rt_notify() and channels for both feed and notifications, in both import tables (pre-policy) and regular tables (post-policy). Remove direct walk in bmp_route_monitor_snapshot().
2023-08-18BMP: Refactor route monitoringOndrej Zajicek
- Manage BMP state through bmp_peer, bmp_stream, bmp_table structures - Use channels and rt_notify() hook for route announcements - Add support for post-policy monitoring - Send End-of-RIB even when there is no routes - Remove rte_update_in_notify() hook from import tables - Update import tables to support channels - Add bmp_hack (no feed / no flush) flag to channels
2022-10-03Nest: Add channel config flag to distinguish new or copyOndrej Zajicek
It is useful to distinguish whehter channel config returned from channel_config_get() was allocated new, or existing from template. Caller may want to initialize new ones.
2022-10-03BGP: Do not assume that all channels are struct bgp_channelOndrej Zajicek
In principle, the channel list is a list of parent struct proto and can contain general structures of type struct channel, That is useful e.g. for adding MPLS channels to BGP.

2021-10-13There may be a symbol with NULL protocol when reconfiguringMaria Matejka
2021-03-30Routing table is now a resource allocated from its own poolMaria Matejka
This also fixes memory leaks from import/export tables being never cleaned up and freed.
2021-03-17Minor fixes for restricted buildsOndrej Zajicek (work)
2021-03-16Pipe: Propagate debug flags from protocol to channelsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Pipe channels are kind-of implicit, so setting protocol debug flags should also set pipe debug flags.
2021-03-12Rate-limit scheduling of work-eventsOndrej Zajicek (work)
In general, events are code handling some some condition, which is scheduled when such condition happened and executed independently from I/O loop. Work-events are a subgroup of events that are scheduled repeatedly until some (often significant) work is done (e.g. feeding routes to protocol). All scheduled events are executed during each I/O loop iteration. Separate work-events from regular events to a separate queue and rate limit their execution to a fixed number per I/O loop iteration. That should prevent excess latency when many work-events are scheduled at one time (e.g. simultaneous reload of many BGP sessions).
2021-03-09Nest: No automatic ROA reload on non-reloadable channelsOndrej Zajicek (work)
2021-02-12Nest: Add option to control automatic RPKI reloadOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also, no automatic reload for BGP channels without import/export table.
2021-02-10Nest: Automatic channel reloads based on RPKI changesOndrej Zajicek (work)
If there are roa_check() calls in channel filters, then the channel subscribes to ROA table notifications, which are sent when ROA tables are updated (subject to settle time) and trigger channel reload or refeed.
2021-02-07Filter: Recursive filter iteration codeOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add macros for recursive filter iteration that allows to examine all instructions reachable from a filter.
2021-01-06Nest: remove last_tx_filter_changeOndrej Zajicek (work)
No longer needed after redesign of export handling.
2020-12-07Nest: Per-channel debug flagsOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch add support for per-channel debug flags, currently just 'states', 'routes', and 'filters'. Flag 'states' is used for channel state changes, remaining two for routes passed through the channel. The per-protocol debug flags 'routes'/'filters' still enable reporting of routes for all channels, to keep existing behavior. The patch causes minor changes in some log messages.
2020-11-24Fix some failed asserts due to add_tail()Ondrej Zajicek (work)
When config structures are copied due to template application, we need to reset list node structure before calling add_tail(). Thanks to Mikael Magnusson for patches.
2020-06-28Show info from multiple protocols when protocol is not specifiedOndrej Zajicek (work)
Most commands like 'show ospf neighbors' fail when protocol is not specified and there are multiple instances of given protocol type. This is annoying in BIRD 2, as many protocols have IPv4 and IPv6 instances. The patch changes that by showing output from all protocol instances of appropriate type. Note that the patch also removes terminating cli_msg() call from these commands and moves it to the common iterating code.
2020-04-09Configuration strings are constant.Maria Matejka
This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.
2019-12-10Nest: Fix bitmap cleanupOndrej Zajicek (work)
Channel currently does not have independent pool and uses protocol pool, which is freed when protocol changes state to down, while channel is still in flushing. Move some some cleanup code to channel_do_flush() so it is done before freeing of protocol pool.
2019-11-26Nest: Use bitmaps to keep track of exported routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Use a hierarchical bitmap in a routing table to assign ids to routes, and then use bitmaps (indexed by route id) in channels to keep track whether routes were exported. This avoids unreliable and inefficient re-evaluation of filters for old routes in order to determine whether they were exported.
2019-08-14Nest: Fix crash in route reload when some channels are not up.Ondrej Zajicek (work)
Only channels that are up can be reloaded.
2019-08-14BGP: implement Adj-RIB-OutOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch implements optional internal export table to a channel and hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-Out. When enabled, all exported (post-filtered) routes are stored there. An export table can be examined using e.g. 'show route export table bgp1.ipv4'.
2019-08-06BGP: Improve reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek (work)
Several BGP channel options (including 'next hop self') could be reconfigured without session reset, with just route refeed/refresh. The patch improves reconfiguration code to do it that way.
2019-07-24Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/mq-filter-stack'Ondrej Zajicek (work)
2019-07-24Nest: VRF of protocol can be explicitly specified as 'default'Ondrej Zajicek (work)
Protocol can have specified VRF, in such case it is restricted to a set of ifaces associated with the VRF, otherwise it can use all interfaces. The patch allows to specify VRF as 'default', in which case it is restricted to a set of iface not associated with any VRF.
2019-07-03Merge branch 'master' into mq-filter-stackMaria Matejka
2019-06-30Nest: Add command to request graceful restartOndrej Zajicek (work)
When 'graceful down' command is entered, protocols are shut down with regard to graceful restart. Namely Kernel protocol does not remove routes and BGP protocol does not send notification, just closes the connection.
2019-04-30BGP: Dynamic BGPOndrej Zajicek (work)
Support for dynamically spawning BGP protocols for incoming connections. Use 'neighbor range' to specify range of valid neighbor addresses, then incoming connections from these addresses spawn new BGP instances.
2019-02-20Conf: Symbol implementation converted from void pointers to unionMaria Matejka
... and consted some declarations.
2019-02-05Nest: Report preferred counters also when 'import keep filtered' is enabledOndrej Zajicek (work)
Thanks to Michal Nowak for reporting the issue.
2019-02-02Nest: Reestablish preferred countersOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2018-12-16Nest: 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.
2018-12-12BGP: 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'.
2018-12-11Nest: 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.
2018-11-20The 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.
2018-10-01Lib: Add and use ev_new_init()Ondrej Zajicek (work)
2018-07-03Nest: Fix race condition during reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek (work)
If export filter is changed during reconfiguration and a route disappears between reconfiguration and refeed (e.g., if the route is a static route also removed during the reconfiguration), the route is not withdrawn. The patch fixes that by adding tx reconfiguration timestamp.
2018-05-29Protocol: Introducing an enum protocol_classJan Maria Matejka
This supersedes the EAP_* constants.
2018-01-10Use non-fatal asserts even for regular buildOndrej Zajicek (work)
2018-01-09Nest: Allow modification of channels inherited from templatesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Multiple definitions of same channels are forbidden, but inherited channel can be redefined. In such case channel options are merged.
2018-01-09Nest: Fix filter reconfigurationOndrej Zajicek (work)
Function filter_same() must be called with arguments in proper order, otherwise it breaks the new filter, causing crash during route processing.
