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'.
|
|
For local route marking purposes, local custom route attributes may be
defined. These attributes are seamlessly stripped after export filter to
every real protocol like Kernel, BGP or OSPF, they however pass through
pipes. We currently allow at most 256 custom attributes.
This should be much faster than currently used bgp communities
for marking routes.

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
Author: Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz>

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.
|
|
Some new route source values did not have associated string
in rta_show(), which might caused crash in some cases.
|
|
The patch implements long-lived graceful restart for BGP, namely
draft-uttaro-idr-bgp-persistence-03.

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.

Internal table used for route learn was created with non-matching net
type for IPv6 kernel proto.

ECMP is not enabled on BSD, where it is not supported by BIRD.

Several changes and bugfixes in Babel, namely:
- Exported route parameters stored directly in route table entry
- Exported non-babel routes no longer stored in per-entry route list
- Route update, selection and retraction simplified and fixed
- Route feasibility is evalualated per update and stored with route
- Unreachable route handling fixed, based on hold interval
- Added 'show babel routes' command
Overall, it fixes some issues with proper propagation of triggered
updates, making Babel convergence after topology change almost
instant.

Date/time output (e.g. in logs, show commands) can use %f to specify
subsecond time. By default, millisecond precision is used in output.

The patch implements Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes
(RFC 4191) for RAdv protocol, allowing to announce router preference and
more specific routes in router advertisements. Routes can be exported to
RAdv like to regular routing protocols.
Some cleanups, bugfixes and other changes done by Ondrej Zajicek.

Add proper support for per-nexthop onlink flag in routes to handle next
hop addresses that are not covered by interface IP ranges. Supported by
kernel and static protocols.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the idea.
|
|
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.

Basic support for SAFI 4 and 128 (MPLS labeled IP and VPN) for IPv4 and
IPv6. Should work for route reflector, but does not properly handle
originating routes with next hop self.
Based on patches from Jan Matejka.

It took too much time to analyze what's the meaning of nhu_state values
so I spent less than the same amount of time documenting it.

Anyway, Bird is now capable to insert both MPLS routes and MPLS encap
routes into kernel.
It was (among others) needed to define platform-specific AF_MPLS to 28
as this constant has been assigned in the linux kernel.
No support for BSD now, it may be added in the future.

Dropped struct mpnh and mpnh_*()
Now struct nexthop exists, nexthop_*(), and also included struct nexthop
into struct rta.
Also converted RTD_DEVICE and RTD_ROUTER to RTD_UNICAST. If it is needed
to distinguish between these two cases, RTD_DEVICE is equivalent to
IPA_ZERO(a->nh.gw), RTD_ROUTER is then IPA_NONZERO(a->nh.gw).
From now on, we also explicitely want C99 compatible compiler. We assume
that this 20-year norm should be known almost everywhere.

Integrated and extensible BGP with generalized AFI handling,
support for IPv4+IPv6 AFI and unicast+multicast SAFI.

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";
};
}

- Tests for several BIRD modules
Based on squashed Pavel Tvrdik's int-test branch, updated for
current int-new branch.

There are several unresolved -Wmissing-field-initializers on older
versions of GCC than 5.1, all of them false positive.

Add support for large communities (draft-ietf-idr-large-community),
96bit alternative to RFC 1997 communities.
Thanks to Matt Griswold for the original patch.

Kernel protocol calls rt_export_merged(), which used @rte_update_pool for
temporary allocations, supposing it is called from other functions from
rt-table.c that handles locking and flushing of the linpool. Therefore,
linpool was not flushed properly and memory leaked.
Add linpool argument to rt_export_merged() and use @krt_filter_lp when
called from kernel protocol.
Thanks to Justin Cattle and Alexander Frolkin for the bugreport.
