2018-05-29Protocol: Introducing an enum protocol_classJan Maria Matejka
This supersedes the EAP_* constants.
2018-05-24Do not initialize route metrics in import_control hookOndrej Zajicek (work)
During route export, the receiving protocol often initialized route metrics to default value in its import_control hook before export filter was executed. This is inconsistent with the expectation that an export filter would process the same route as one in the routing table and it breaks setting these metrics before (e.g. for static routes directly in static protocol). The patch removes the initialization of route metrics in import_control hook, the default values are already handled in rt_notify hook called after export filters. The patch also changed the behavior of OSPF to keep metrics when a route is reannounced between OSPF instances (to be consistent with other protocols) and the behavior when both ospf_metric1 and ospf_metric2 are specified (to have more expected behavior).
2018-05-03Babel: Add option to randomize router IDOndrej Zajicek (work)
When a Babel node restarts, it loses its sequence number, which can cause its routes to be rejected by peers until the state is cleared out by other nodes in the network (which can take on the order of minutes). There are two ways to fix this: Having stable storage to keep the sequence number across restarts, or picking a different router ID each time. This implements the latter, by introducing a new option that will cause BIRD to randomize a high 32 bits of router ID every time it starts up. This avoids the problem at the cost of not having stable router IDs in the network. Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.
2018-05-03Babel: Fix type of route entry router IDOndrej Zajicek (work)
The router ID being assigned to routes was a uint, which discards the upper 32 bits. This also has the nice side effect of echoing the wrong router ID back to other routers. Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.

2018-03-07Babel: Fix build with restricted protocol setOndrej Zajicek (work)
All keywords used in Babel config have to be declared locally. Thanks to Leo Vandewoestijne for the bugreport.
2018-02-13Babel: Fix accidental bitwise or assignmentOndrej Zajicek (work)
Fix an accidental bitwise or assignment that was supposed to be a comparison. Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.
2018-02-13Babel: Add source-specific routing supportOndrej Zajicek (work)
This patch adds support for source-specific routing to the Babel protocol. It changes the protocol to support both NET_IP6 and NET_IP6_SADR channels for IPv6 addresses. If only a NET_IP6 channel is configured, source-specific updates are ignored. Otherwise, non-source-specific routes are simply treated as source-specific routes with SADR prefix 0. Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch. Minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek.

2017-12-07Timers: Revert temporary names and remove old timer.hOndrej Zajicek (work)
2017-12-07Babel: More changes and bugfixesOndrej Zajicek (work)
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.
2017-12-07Babel: Fix handling of seqno requestsOndrej Zajicek (work)
Old behavior has several deficiencies compared to standard behavior (no triggered updates for replies, no retransmissions, ...).
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: Revamp cost computation and run route selection when cost changeOndrej Zajicek (work)
Also fix several minor bugs and add 'limit' option for k-out-of-j link sensing strategy. Change default from 8-of-16 to 12-of-16. Change IHU expiry factor from 1.5 to 3.5 (as in RFC 6126).
2017-12-07Babel: Fix unicast seqno requestsOndrej Zajicek (work)

2017-12-07Babel: Update to new timersOndrej Zajicek (work)
2017-12-07Timers: Replace old timers with microsecond timersOndrej Zajicek (work)
The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean it up.
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.
2017-11-28Babel: Parse flags in Hello TLVOndrej Zajicek (work)
RFC6126bis introduces a flags field for the Hello TLV, and adds a unicast flag that is used to signify that a hello was sent as unicast. This adds parsing of the flags field and ignores such unicast hellos, which preserves compatibility until we can add a proper implementation of the unicast hello mechanism. Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.
2017-10-17Babel: Interface address irrelevant for interface pattern matching.Jan Maria Matejka
2017-09-19BGP: Shutdown communication (RFC 8203)Ondrej Zajicek (work)
The patch implements BGP Administrative Shutdown Communication (RFC 8203) allowing BGP operators to pass messages related to BGP session administrative shutdown/restart. It handles both transmit and receive of shutdown messages. Messages are logged and may be displayed by show protocol all command. Thanks to Job Snijders for the basic patch.
2017-09-06Basic VRF supportOndrej Zajicek (work)
Add basic VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) support. Protocols can be associated with VRFs, such protocols will be restricted to interfaces assigned to the VRF (as reported by Linux kernel) and will use sockets bound to the VRF. E.g., different multihop BGP instances can use diffent kernel routing tables to handle BGP TCP connections. The VRF support is preliminary, currently there are several limitations: - Recent Linux kernels (4.11) do not handle correctly sockets bound to interaces that are part of VRF, so most protocols other than multihop BGP do not work. This will be fixed by future kernel versions. - Neighbor cache ignores VRFs. Breaks config with the same prefix on local interfaces in different VRFs. Not much problem as single hop protocols do not work anyways. - Olock code ignores VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in different VRFs. - Incoming BGP connections are not dispatched according to VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in different VRFs. Perhaps we would need some kernel API to read VRF of incoming connection? Or probably use multiple listening sockets in int-new branch. - We should handle master VRF interface up/down events and perhaps disable associated protocols when VRF goes down. Or at least disable associated interfaces. - Also we should check if the master iface is really VRF iface and not some other kind of master iface. - BFD session request dispatch should be aware of VRFs. - Perhaps kernel protocol should read default kernel table ID from VRF iface so it is not necessary to configure it. - Perhaps we should have per-VRF default table.
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.

2016-07-20Babel: Immediately update hello interval on interface reconfigureOndrej Zajicek (work)
An interface reconfiguration may change both the hello and update intervals. An update interval change is immediately put into effect, while a hello interval change is not. This also updates the hello interval immediately (if the new interval is shorter than the old one), and sends a hello to notify peers of the change.

2016-07-19Babel: Do not maintain feasibility distance for our own routesOndrej Zajicek (work)
We do not need to maintain feasibility distances for our own router ID (we ignore the updates anyway). Not doing so makes the routes be garbage collected sooner when export filters change. Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk>
2016-07-19Babel: Do not keep an infeasible route as selectedOndrej Zajicek (work)
When a route becomes infeasible it should not be kept as selected; this is forbidden by section 3.6 of the RFC and prevents subsequent updates from the same router ID from replacing it. Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk>
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>
2016-07-19Babel: Make sure intervals do not overflowOndrej Zajicek (work)
Intervals are carried as 16-bit centisecond values, but kept internally in 16-bit second values, which causes a potential for overflow. This adds some checks to make sure this does not happen. Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk>
