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.
2021-01-06Nest: 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.
2020-06-28Show 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.
2020-05-01Nest: Added const to ea_show just to declare that this shouldn't really ↵Maria Matejka

2020-04-09Configuration strings are constant.Maria Matejka
This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.
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.
2019-08-27Channel refeed with import table splitting between routes for one prefixMaria Matejka
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.

2019-07-24Nest: 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.

2019-06-30Nest: 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.
2019-03-18Merge branch 'master' into HEADMaria Matejka
2019-03-14Nest: Update handling of temporary attributesOndrej Zajicek (work)
The temporary atttributes are no longer removed by ea_do_prune(), but they are undefined by store_tmp_attrs() protocol hooks. This fixes several bugs where temporary attributes were removed when they should not or not removed when they should be. The flag EAF_TEMP is no longer needed and was removed. Update all protocol make_tmp_attrs() / store_tmp_attrs() hooks to use helper functions and to handle unset attributes properly. Also fix some related bugs like improper handling of empty eattr list.
2019-02-20Conf: Symbol implementation converted from void pointers to unionMaria Matejka

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.
2018-12-12BGP: 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'.
2018-12-04Terminology cleanup: The import_control hook is now called preexport.Jan Maria Matejka
Once upon a time, far far away, there were the old Bird developers discussing what direction of route flow shall be called import and export. They decided to say "import to protocol" and "export to table" when speaking about a protocol. When speaking about a table, they spoke about "importing to table" and "exporting to protocol". The latter terminology was adopted in configuration, then also the bird CLI in commit ea2ae6dd0 started to use it (in year 2009). Now it's 2018 and the terminology is the latter. Import is from protocol to table, export is from table to protocol. Anyway, there was still an import_control hook which executed right before route export. One thing is funny. There are two commits in April 1999 with just two minutes between them. The older announces the final settlement on config terminology, the newer uses the other definition. Let's see their commit messages as the git-log tool shows them (the newer first): commit 9e0e485e50ea74c4f1c5cb65bdfe6ce819c2cee2 Author: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> Date: Mon Apr 5 20:17:59 1999 +0000 Added some new protocol hooks (look at the comments for better explanation): make_tmp_attrs Convert inline attributes to ea_list store_tmp_attrs Convert ea_list to inline attributes import_control Pre-import decisions commit 5056c559c4eb253a4eee10cf35b694faec5265eb Author: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz> Date: Mon Apr 5 20:15:31 1999 +0000 Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the final 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 :)). Let's say RIP to this almost 19-years-old inconsistency. For now, if you import a route, it is always from protocol to table. If you export a route, it is always from table to protocol. And they lived happily ever after.
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.
2018-07-31BGP: Long-lived graceful restartOndrej Zajicek (work)
The patch implements long-lived graceful restart for BGP, namely draft-uttaro-idr-bgp-persistence-03.
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.
2018-05-30Nest: Removing separate tmpa from route propagationJan Maria Matejka
This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside the route itself. This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled extended route attributes. Dropping it now. The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the `struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(), import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().
2018-05-29Protocol: Introducing an enum protocol_classJan Maria Matejka
This supersedes the EAP_* constants.

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.

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.
2017-09-19BGP: Shutdown communication (RFC 8203)Ondrej Zajicek (work)
The patch implements BGP Administrative Shutdown Communication (RFC 8203) allowing BGP operators to pass messages related to BGP session administrative shutdown/restart. It handles both transmit and receive of shutdown messages. Messages are logged and may be displayed by show protocol all command. Thanks to Job Snijders for the basic patch.
2017-09-12Backport some minor changes from int-newOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.

2017-04-25Nest: 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.

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"; }; } ...

2016-04-08Route update: move table lookup from protocols into rte_update2().Jan Moskyto Matejka
Many protocols do almost the same when creating a rte_update request before calling rte_update2(). This commit should simplify the protocol side of the route-creation routine.
