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.

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.
|
|
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.

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.

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().
|
|
- 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
|
|
Use existing BGP functions also for BMP update encoding.

Initial implementation of a basic subset of the BMP (BGP Monitoring
Protocol, RFC 7854) from Akamai team. Submitted for further review
and improvement.

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.

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.

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.

Direct protocol hooks for IGP metric inside nest/rt-table.c make the
protocol API unnecessarily complex. Instead, we use a proper callback.

Remove assumption that main channel is the only channel.

Remove assumption that main channel is the only channel.

Also, no automatic reload for BGP channels without import/export table.
|
|
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.
|
|
No longer needed after redesign of export handling.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.

This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.

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.
|
|
|
|
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'.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|

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.

... and consted some declarations.

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.
|
|
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'.

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>

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

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.

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.
|
|
The patch implements long-lived graceful restart for BGP, namely
draft-uttaro-idr-bgp-persistence-03.
|
|
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.
|

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().
|
|
This supersedes the EAP_* constants.

Multiple definitions of same channels are forbidden, but inherited
channel can be redefined. In such case channel options are merged.
