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.
2016-04-28Add the Babel routing protocol (RFC 6126)Ondrej Zajicek (work)
This patch implements the IPv6 subset of the Babel routing protocol. Based on the patch from Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen, with some heavy modifications and bugfixes. Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
2015-06-08BGP multipath supportOndrej Zajicek
Kernel option 'merge paths' allows to merge routes exported to kernel protocol (currently BGP and static routes) to multipath routes.

2015-03-29BGP: Enhanced route refresh (RFC 7313) supportOndrej Zajicek
Also hook feed_done is renamed to feed_end.
2015-02-21Store protocol config size inside protocol structureOndrej Zajicek
Make proto_config_new() use this info instead of supplied size. Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the patch.
2014-04-27Fixes limit verification during reconfiguration.Ondrej Zajicek
2014-03-20BGP graceful restart support.Ondrej Zajicek
Also significant core protocol state changes needed for that, global graceful restart recovery state and kernel proto support for recovery.

2013-09-16BFD work in progress.Ondrej Zajicek
Now it compiles and mostly works.
2013-01-10Separate import and receive limits.Ondrej Zajicek
They have different behavior w.r.t. filtered routes that are kept.
2012-11-15Changes 'rejected' to 'filtered' in one of the last patches.Ondrej Zajicek
2012-11-10Allows rejected routes to be kept and examined.Ondrej Zajicek
When 'import keep rejected' protocol option is activated, routes rejected by the import filter are kept in the routing table, but they are hidden and not propagated to other protocols. It is possible to examine them using 'show route rejected'.
2012-08-14Implements ADD-PATH extension for BGP.Ondrej Zajicek
Allows to send and receive multiple routes for one network by one BGP session. Also contains necessary core changes to support this (routing tables accepting several routes for one network from one protocol). It needs some more cleanup before merging to the master branch.

2012-03-28Fixes responsiveness for protocol shutdown.Ondrej Zajicek
When a protocol went down, all its routes were flushed in one step, that may block BIRD for too much time. The patch fixes that by limiting maximum number of routes flushed in one step.
2012-03-15Better support for multitable protocols.Ondrej Zajicek
The nest-protocol interaction is changed to better handle multitable protocols. Multitable protocols now declare that by 'multitable' field, which tells nest that a protocol handles things related to proto-rtable interaction (table locking, announce hook adding, reconfiguration of filters) itself. Filters and stats are moved to announce hooks, a protocol could have different filters and stats to different tables. The patch is based on one from Alexander V. Chernikov, thanks.

The patch from Alexander V. Chernikov.
2011-12-22Implements deterministic MED handling.Ondrej Zajicek
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for many suggestions.
2011-11-07Implements protocol templates.Ondrej Zajicek
Based on the patch from Alexander V. Chernikov. Extended to support almost all protocols. Uses 'protocol bgp NAME from TEMPLATE { ... }' syntax.
2011-03-13Implements Router Advertisement protocol.Ondrej Zajicek
2010-07-05Implements hostcache and recursive next hops.Ondrej Zajicek
Hostcache is a structure for monitoring changes in a routing table that is used for routes with dynamic/recursive next hops. This is needed for proper iBGP next hop handling.
2010-04-07Implements BGP 'show protocols' info details.Ondrej Zajicek
2010-02-26Many changes in (mainly) kernel syncers.Ondrej Zajicek
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes - important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart) - many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache - direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes - min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default - also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
2010-02-21Restricted read-only CLI.Ondrej Zajicek
Also adds support for executing commands using birdc <cmd>.
2010-02-20Implements pattern match for 'show protocols' command.Ondrej Zajicek
And generally consolidates protocol commands.
2010-02-13Removes phantom protocol from the pipe design.Ondrej Zajicek
It seems that by adding one pipe-specific exception to route announcement code and by adding one argument to rt_notify() callback i could completely eliminate the need for the phantom protocol instance and therefore make the code more straightforward. It will also fix some minor bugs (like ignoring debug flag changes from the command line).
2010-02-13Fixes protocol statistics for pipes.Ondrej Zajicek
2010-02-11Fixes a tricky bug in the pipe protocol.Ondrej Zajicek
When uncofiguring the pipe and the peer table, the peer table was unlocked when pipe protocol state changed to down/flushing and not to down/hungry. This leads to the removal of the peer table before the routes from the pipe were flushed. The fix leads to adding some pipe-specific hacks to the nest, but this seems inevitable.

2000-05-19Asynchronous feeding of protocols.Martin Mares
2000-05-16Don't log state changes if nothing user-visible has changed.Martin Mares
2000-05-13Changed semantics of the rt_update hook. The attribute list we pass nowMartin Mares
contains all attributes, not just the temporary ones. This avoids having to merge the lists inside protocols or doing searches on both of them. Also, do filtering of routes properly. (I'd like to avoid it, but it's needed at least in the krt protocol.)
2000-05-06Added commands `show route protocol <p>' and `show route import <p>' whichMartin Mares
show the routing table as exported to the protocol given resp. as returned from its import control hook. To get handling of filtered extended attributes right (even in the old `show route where <filter>' command), the get_route_info hook gets an attribute list and all protocol specific rte attributes are contained there as temporary ones. Updated RIP to do that. Added ea_append() which joins two ea_list's.
2000-05-06When rte_update is called for an identical route, don't announce anything.Martin Mares
Please implement the rte_same hook in your protocols. It should just compare your metrics stored directly in rte, the rest is done by the core.
2000-04-01Changed initialization of protocol list -- now we call proto_build() insteadMartin Mares
of calling the protocols manually. Implemented printing of dynamic attributes in `show route all'. Each protocol can now register its own attribute class (protocol->attr_class, set to EAP_xxx) and also a callback for naming and formatting of attributes. The callback can return one of the following results: GA_UNKNOWN Attribute not recognized. GA_NAME Attribute name recognized and put to the buffer, generic code should format the value. GA_FULL Both attribute name and value put to the buffer. Please update protocols generating dynamic attributes to provide the attr_class and formatting hook.
