2017-12-07Babel: Fix handling of IPv4 retractionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Babel TLV parsing code rejected IPv4 retractions without next-hop, although next-hop is needed just for regular updates.
2017-12-07Babel: Update to new timersOndrej Zajicek (work)
2017-12-07Nest: Maintain separate IPv4, IPv6 and LLv6 preferred addressesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also redesign preferred address selection and update protocols to use appropriate preferred address. Based on a previous work by Jan Maria Matejka.
2017-06-14Babel: Fix pointer arithmetic in subtlv parsingOndrej Zajicek (work)
The subtlv parsing code was doing byte-based arithmetic with non-void pointers, causing it to read beyond the end of the packet. Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk>
2017-06-09Babel: Parse sub-TLVs and skip TLVs with mandatory sub-TLVOndrej Zajicek (work)
RFC6126bis formally introduces sub-TLVs to the Babel protocol, including mandatory sub-TLVs. This adds support for parsing sub-TLVs to the Babel protocol and skips TLVs that contain mandatory sub-TLVs, as per the spec. For details, see section 4.4 of https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-babel-rfc6126bis-02 Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> for the patch.
2017-06-09Babel: Implement IPv6 prefix compression on outgoing updatesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Previously, the Babel protocol would never use prefix compression on outgoing updates (but would parse it on incoming ones). This adds compression of IPv6 addresses of outgoing updates. The compression only works to the extent that the FIB is walked in lexicographic order; i.e. a prefix is only compressed if it shares bytes with the previous prefix in the same packet. Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> for the patch.
2017-06-08Babel: Add support for dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 operationOndrej Zajicek (work)
This adds support for dual-stack v4/v6 operation to the Babel protocol. Routing messages will be exchanged over IPv6, but IPv4 routes can be carried in the messages being exchanged. This matches how the reference Babel implementation (babeld) works. The nexthop address for v4 can be configured per interface, and will default to the first available IPv4 address on the given interface. For symmetry, a configuration option to configure the IPv6 nexthop address is also added. Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> for the patch.
2016-12-10Babel: Update to integrated branchOndrej Zajicek (work)
2016-11-01Build: switch on -Wextra, get rid of most of the warningsJan Moskyto Matejka
There are several unresolved -Wmissing-field-initializers on older versions of GCC than 5.1, all of them false positive.
2016-07-19Babel: Send wildcard retractions on shutdown and startupOndrej Zajicek (work)
This makes BIRD send a wildcard retraction on all interfaces before shutting down and right after starting up. This helps ensure that neighbours will discard the announced routes as soon as possible, rather than only after the normal timeout procedures. Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk>
2016-07-19Babel: Rework handling of retractionsOndrej Zajicek (work)
An update with wildcard AE and infinite metric should be treated as a global retraction of all prefixes announced by that neighbour, per section 4.4.9 of the RFC. In addition, router ID and seqno in retraction updates should be ignored. This reworks the handling of retractions and adjusts the parser to handle all this correctly. Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk>
2016-04-28Add the Babel routing protocol (RFC 6126)Ondrej Zajicek (work)
This patch implements the IPv6 subset of the Babel routing protocol. Based on the patch from Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen, with some heavy modifications and bugfixes. Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
