2023-10-05MPLS: Handle compatibility with old configsOndrej Zajicek
Old configs do not define MPLS domains and may use a static protocol to define static MPLS routes. When MPLS channel is the only channel of static protocol, handle it as a main channel. Also, define implicit MPLS domain if needed and none is defined.
2023-10-04L3VPN: BGP/MPLS VPNs using MPLS backboneOndrej Zajicek
The L3VPN protocol implements RFC 4364 BGP/MPLS VPNs using MPLS backbone. It works similarly to pipe. It connects IP table (one per VRF) with (global) VPN table. Routes passed from VPN table to IP table are stripped of RD and filtered by import targets, routes passed in the other direction are extended with RD, MPLS labels and export targets in extended communities. A separate MPLS channel is used to announce MPLS routes for the labels.
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.
2023-08-28Wireguard: Initial commitMikael Magnusson
Use 51820 (default wireguard port) as default tunnel type.
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
2023-04-16BMP: Remove duplicate functions for update encodingOndrej Zajicek (work)
Use existing BGP functions also for BMP update encoding.
2023-04-16BMP protocol supportPawel Maslanka
Initial implementation of a basic subset of the BMP (BGP Monitoring Protocol, RFC 7854) from Akamai team. Submitted for further review and improvement.
2023-01-03Nest: Fix leaking internal attributes in RIP and BabelOndrej Zajicek
During backporting attribute changes from 3.0-branch, some internal attributes (RIP iface and Babel seqno) leaked to 'show route all' output. Allow protocols to hide specific attributes with GA_HIDDEN value. Thanks to Nigel Kukard for the bugreport.
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.

2022-06-27Preexport callback now takes the channel instead of protocol as argumentMaria Matejka
Passing protocol to preexport was in fact a historical relic from the old times when channels weren't a thing. Refactoring that to match current extensibility needs.

2021-10-13IGP metric getter refactoring to protocol callbackMaria Matejka
Direct protocol hooks for IGP metric inside nest/rt-table.c make the protocol API unnecessarily complex. Instead, we use a proper callback.
2021-10-13Preexport: No route modification, no linpool neededMaria Matejka
2021-09-10Nest: Clean up main channel handlingOndrej Zajicek (work)
Remove assumption that main channel is the only channel.

Remove assumption that main channel is the only channel.
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
change anything
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.

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.
