2000-04-10Export ea_same() and ea_hash().Martin Mares
2000-04-09BGP doesn't need any inline attributes.Martin Mares
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.
2000-03-20Define new data types for BGP.Martin Mares
2000-03-04Renamed EAF_INLINE to EAF_TEMP to make the name reflect the real meaning.Martin Mares
2000-03-04Garbage collector events and counters are now per table and one dayMartin Mares
they can be made configurable if it turns out to be useful.
2000-03-04Implemented real attribute cache.Martin Mares
2000-03-01Removed RTF_EXTERIOR and RTF_TAGGED (unused).Martin Mares
2000-01-16First attempt on dynamic reconfiguration. There are still lots of bugsMartin Mares
and problems to solve, but the hardest part works.
1999-12-16Minor cleanups.Martin Mares
1999-12-01Added dumping of routing tables (`show route'). This includes filtering.Martin Mares
1999-11-25Fix timeouts. Triggered updates are not done, yet.Pavel Machek
1999-11-18Allow EA type to be set to 'undefined' which overrides all further definitonsMartin Mares
of that EA in the same list and causes ea_find() to fail unless you add EA_ALLOW_UNDEF to the second argument. ea_sort (resp. ea_do_prune()) removes all undef'd attributes from the list. I hope this works :)
1999-11-18DEF_PREF_UKR and DEF_PREF_SINK removed.Martin Mares
1999-11-04Renamed attr->attrs to attr->eattrs.Martin Mares
1999-08-03Implemented a Table-to-Table protocol a.k.a The Pipe.Martin Mares
1999-08-03Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.Martin Mares
The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c. The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though. Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
1999-05-31Added extended attributes for rip.Pavel Machek
1999-05-17From now we support multiple tables. The master_table variable isMartin Mares
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional argument telling which table should they modify. Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol. The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also all their connections.
1999-04-12Removed TOS support. This simplifies many things a lot.Martin Mares
1999-04-05Routing table core changes to support full route filtering:Martin Mares
o Introduced rte_cow() which should be used for copying on write the rte's in filters. Each rte now carries a flag saying whether it's a real route (possessing table linkage and other insignia) or a local copy. This function can be expected to be fast since its fast-path is inlined. o Introduced rte_update_pool which is a linear memory pool used for all temporary data during rte_update. You should not reference it directly -- instead use a pool pointer passed to all related functions. o Split rte_update to three functions: rte_update The front end: handles all checking, inbound filtering and calls rte_recalculate() for the final version of the route. rte_recalculate Update the table according to already filtered route. rte_announce Announce routing table changes to all protocols, passing them through export filters and so on. The interface has _not_ changed -- still call rte_update() and it will do the rest for you automagically. o Use new filtering semantics to be explained in a separate mail.
1999-04-03More changes to the kernel syncer.Martin Mares
o Now compatible with filtering. o Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct). o Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects the ones the kernel really uses for forwarding packets. o Better treatment of CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES ports. o Lots of internal changes.
1999-03-17Implemented extended route attributes and all related functions.Martin Mares
1999-03-04KRT: Implemented asynchronous route / interface state notificationsMartin Mares
(via Netlink). Tweaked kernel synchronization rules a bit. Discovered locking bug in kernel Netlink :-) Future plans: Hunt all the bugs and solve all the FIXME's.
1999-03-01Renamed struct rtattr to struct rta to make things more consistent andMartin Mares
avoid namespace clashes with <linux/rtnetlink.h>. Other files should not be affected since they use 'rta' directly.
1999-02-13Fixed bug in FIB_ITERATE_END: it assumed the control variable is namedMartin Mares
"z". I've added an argument specifying name of the variable. Renamed "again" label in FIB_ITERATE_* to "fis_again" to avoid name clashes.
1998-12-20Rewrote fib functions to make them insert/delete/asynchronous-walk safe.Martin Mares
This is implemented in a way similar to lib/slists.h, but it took some more effort to make rehashing not disturb the readers. We do it by just taking _highest_ k bits of ipa_hash as our hash value and sorting each box by whole ipa_hash(). Consult FIB_ITERATE_* macros in nest/route.h. Implemented fib_check() debugging function and also rewrote the rehashing algorithm to use better thresholds and not to waste time by rehashing forth and back.
1998-12-08Added source RTS_DUMMY for temporary routes. They should never appearMartin Mares
in the main table.
1998-12-07Minor rte/rta interface changes:Martin Mares
o rte can now contain a pointer to both cached and uncached rta. Protocols which don't need their own attribute caching can now just fill-in a rta, link it to rte without any calls to attribute cache and call rte_update() which will replace rte->attrs by a cached copy. o In order to support this, one of previously pad bytes in struct rta now holds new attribute flags (RTAF_CACHED). If you call rte_update() with uncached rta, you _must_ clear these flags. In other cases rta_lookup() sets it appropriately. o Added rte_free() which is useful when you construct a rte and then the circumstances change and you decide not to use it for an update. (Needed for temporary rte's in kernel syncer...)
1998-12-07KRF_* flags moved to krt.h as they are internal to kernel syncer,Martin Mares
fib->pad0,pad1 renamed to x0,x1 and in case of struct net x0 is reserved for kernel syncing as well.
1998-12-06Removed protocol-specific data in rte for protocol static since noMartin Mares
such data ever existed.
1998-10-20RIP now actually talks to itself.Pavel Machek
1998-10-20Added pointer to network to RTE. The complications with passing NET separatelyMartin Mares
aren't worth 4 bytes per RTE. rte_discard and rte_dump don't need net * as parameter.
1998-10-18o FIB flags now available for FIB users.Martin Mares
o struct network: FIB flags used for kernel syncing. o struct network: `next' field deleted (historical relic).
1998-10-18Split protocol init to building of protocol list and real protocol init.Martin Mares
Added kernel route table syncer skeleton.
1998-10-18After contemplating about RIP route timeouts for a long time, I've implementedMartin Mares
protocol callbacks for route insertion and deletion from the central table. RIP should maintain its own per-protocol queue of existing routes, scan it periodically and call rte_discard() for routes that have timed out.
1998-10-17Solve chicken-and-egg problems with protocol startup. We now queue all inactiveMartin Mares
protocols and don't send route/interface updates to them and when they come up, we resend the whole route/interface tables privately. Removed the "scan interface list after protocol start" work-around.
1998-06-04FIB_WALK and friends are now slightly more friendly.Martin Mares
1998-06-01- Rewrote whole interface logic. Removed support for multiple addresses perMartin Mares
interface since it makes much trouble everywhere. Instead, we understand secondary addresses as subinterfaces. - In case interface addresses or basic flags change, we simply convert it to a down/up sequence. - Implemented the universal neighbour cache. (Just forget what did previous includes say of neighbour caching, this one is brand new.)
1998-05-24Implemented timers. Using bird_clock_t for absolute time from now...Martin Mares
1998-05-20Added routing table and routing attribute code.Martin Mares
1998-05-15Parts of routing table code. Data structure declarations should beMartin Mares
complete now.
1998-05-03Next attempt on data structures...Martin Mares
1998-04-28Changed #include <x/y> to #include "x/y" for our local includes, so thatMartin Mares
gcc -MM can be used to separate them from the system ones. Added automatic generation of dependencies.
1998-04-23Added few route attributes.Martin Mares
