When MPLS is active, received routes on MPLS-aware SAFIs (ipvX-mpls,
vpnX-mpls) are automatically labeled according to active label policy and
corresponding MPLS routes are automatically generated. Also routes sent
on MPLS-aware SAFIs announce local labels when it should be done.

Initial implementation of a basic subset of the BMP (BGP Monitoring
Protocol, RFC 7854) from Akamai team. Submitted for further review
and improvement.
|
|
This option allows to treat bgp_med as regular transitive attribute
on EBGP sessions (without hacks in filters).
Minor changes from committer.

In principle, the channel list is a list of parent struct proto and can
contain general structures of type struct channel, That is useful e.g.
for adding MPLS channels to BGP.

Implement BGP roles as described in RFC 9234. It is a mechanism for
route leak prevention and automatic route filtering based on common BGP
topology relationships. It defines role capability (controlled by 'local
role' option) and OTC route attribute, which is used for automatic route
filtering and leak detection.
Minor changes done by commiter.

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.

The prefix hash table in BGP used the same hash function as the rtable.
When a batch of routes are exported during feed/flush to the BGP, they
all have similar hash values, so they are all crowded in a few slots in
the BGP prefix table (which is much smaller - around the size of the
batch - and uses higher bits from hash values), making it much slower due
to excessive collisions. Use a different hash function to avoid this.
Also, increase the batch size to fill 4k BGP packets and increase minimum
BGP bucket and prefix hash sizes to avoid back and forth resizing during
flushes.
This leads to order of magnitude faster flushes (on my test data).

Implement flowspec validation procedure as described in RFC 8955 sec. 6
and RFC 9117. The Validation procedure enforces that only routers in the
forwarding path for a network can originate flowspec rules for that
network.
The patch adds new mechanism for tracking inter-table dependencies, which
is necessary as the flowspec validation depends on IP routes, and flowspec
rules must be revalidated when best IP routes change.
The validation procedure is disabled by default and requires that
relevant IP table uses trie, as it uses interval queries for subnets.

One of previous commits added error logging of invalid routes. This
also inadvertently caused error logging of route loops, which should
be ignored silently. Fix that.
|
|
Most error messages in attribute processing are in rx/decode step and
these use L_REMOTE log class. But there are few that are in tx/export
step and these should use L_ERR log class.
Use tx-specific macro (REJECT()) in tx/export code and rename field
err_withdraw to err_reject in struct bgp_export_state to ensure that
appropriate error reporting macros are called in proper contexts.
|
|
Typical BGP error handling is treat-as-withdraw, where an invalid route
is replaced with a withdraw. Log route network when it happens.
|
|
It is an auxiliary key in the routing table, not a route attribute.

Direct protocol hooks for IGP metric inside nest/rt-table.c make the
protocol API unnecessarily complex. Instead, we use a proper callback.
|
|
The flag makes sense just in external representation. It is reset during
BGP export, but keeping it internally broke MRT dumps for short attributes
that used it anyways.
Thanks to Simon Marsh for the bugreport and the patch.

Add fake MP_REACH_NLRI attribute with BGP next hop when encoding MRT
table dumps for IPv6 routes. That is necessary to encode next hop as
NEXT_HOP attribute is not used for MP-BGP.
Thanks to Santiago Aggio for the bugreport.

This fixes an issue with dirty node passed to add_tail().

The bug generated invalid AGGREGATOR attribute during translation of
32bit ASN to 16bit-only BGP peer. The patch fixes that.
|
|
This is optional check described in RFC 4271. Although this can be also
done by filters, it is widely implemented option in BGP implementations.
Thanks to Eugene Bogomazov for the original patch.

There is a pending draft to make them obsolete

Transitive extended communities should be removed on external sessions,

The 'deterministic med' option is implemented by suppressing other than
best-in-group routes (grouped by ASN) from best route selection. This
interferes with 'merge paths' as supressed routes are no longer mergable
with best route. This is fixed by suppressing only those routes that are
not mergable with best-in-group route.

This doesn't make any change for you until you have
millions of updates waiting to be sent. Increasing
the max hash size from 2^20 to 2^24.

This is a major change of how the filters are interpreted. If everything
works how it should, it should not affect you unless you are hacking the
filters themselves.
Anyway, this change should make a huge improvement in the filter performance
as previous benchmarks showed that our major problem lies in the
recursion itself.
There are also some changes in nest and protocols, related mostly to
spreading const declarations throughout the whole BIRD and also to
refactored dynamic attribute definitions. The need of these came up
during the whole work and it is too difficult to split out these
not-so-related changes.

When route is exported to regular EBGP, local ASN should be prepended to
AS_PATH. When route is propagated by route server (between RS-marked
EBGP peers), it should not change AS_PATH. Question is what to do in
other cases (from non-RS EBGP, IBGP, or locally originated to RS EBGP).
In 1.6.x, we did not prepend ASN in non-RS EBGP or IBGP to RS EBGP, but
we prepended in local to RS EBGP.
In 2.0.x, we changed that so only RS-EBGP to RS-EBGP is not prepended.
We received some negative responses (thanks to heisenbug and Alexander
Zubkov), we decided to change it back. One reason is that it is simple
to modify the AS_PATH by filters, but not possible to un-modify
changes done by BGP itself. Also, as 1.6.x behavior was not really
consistent, the final behavior is that ASN is never prepended when
exported to RS EBGP, like to IBGP.
Note that i do not express an opinion about whether such configurations
are even reasonable.

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):

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.
