1999-12-08	Temporary work-arounds for multicast problems. Needs further investigation.	Martin Mares

1999-11-04	Renamed attr->attrs to attr->eattrs.	Martin Mares

1999-08-03	Taught Netlink how to behave in IPv6 world.	Martin Mares

1999-08-03	Basic support for IPv6. The system-dependent part doesn't work yet,	Martin Mares
	but the core routines are there and seem to be working. o lib/ipv6.[ch] written o Lexical analyser recognizes IPv6 addresses and when in IPv6 mode, treats pure IPv4 addresses as router IDs. o Router ID must be configured manually on IPv6 systems. o Added SCOPE_ORGANIZATION for org-scoped IPv6 multicasts. o Fixed few places where ipa_(hton\|ntoh) was called as a function returning converted address.
1999-08-03	Kernel 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. :)
1999-05-17	Kill remaining master_table relics in KRT code.	Martin Mares
	Make all protocols pass routing table to rte_update and rte_discard.
1999-05-07	Netlink support for secondary interface addresses.	Martin Mares

1999-05-06	I rewrote the interface handling code, so that it supports multiple	Martin Mares
	addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support). Visible changes: o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any). o Interface has IF_UP set iff it's up and it has a primary address. o IF_UP is now independent on IF_IGNORED (i.e., you need to test IF_IGNORED in the protocols; I've added this, but please check). o The if_notify_change hook has been simplified (only one interface pointer etc.). o Introduced a ifa_notify_change hook. (For now, only the Direct protocol does use it -- it's wise to just listen to device routes in all other protocols.) o Removed IF_CHANGE_FLAGS notifier flag (it was meaningless anyway). o Updated all the code except netlink (I'll look at it tomorrow) to match the new semantics (please look at your code to ensure I did it right). Things to fix: o Netlink. o Make krt-iface interpret "eth0:1"-type aliases as secondary addresses.
1999-04-12	Removed TOS support. This simplifies many things a lot.	Martin Mares

1999-04-03	More 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.
1999-03-29	Remember that we can run device syncer without kernel syncer	Martin Mares
	and vice versa now.
1999-03-27	Cleaned up system configuration files -- removed few obsolete parameters,	Martin Mares
	documented the remaining ones (sysdep/cf/README). Available configurations: o linux-20: Old Linux interface via /proc/net/route (selected by default on pre-2.1 kernels). o linux-21: Old Linux interface, but device routes handled by the kernel (selected by default for 2.1 and newer kernels). o linux-22: Linux with Netlink (I play with it a lot yet, so it isn't a default). o linux-ipv6: Prototype config for IPv6 on Linux. Not functional yet.
1999-03-26	Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.	Martin Mares
	o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started. o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that it will be possible to feed different device routes to different routing tables once multiple tables get supported). See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
1999-03-24	Removed our declaration of RTPROT_BIRD since Alexey has assigned	Martin Mares
	us a real protocol number in 2.2.4 kernel.
1999-03-04	Fixed processing of !krt_capable() routes. Converted device route decisions	Martin Mares
	to the krt_capable mechanism as well.
1999-03-04	KRT: Implemented asynchronous route / interface state notifications	Martin 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.
1999-03-04	Although there are still heaps of FIXME's, Netlink works.	Martin Mares
	To build BIRD with Netlink support, just configure it with ./configure --with-sysconfig=linux-21 After it will be tested well enough, I'll probably make it a default for 2.2 kernels (and rename it to linux-22 :)).
1999-03-04	Converted some mb_alloc/bzero pairs to mb_allocz.	Martin Mares

1999-03-03	Netlink scans routes...	Martin Mares

1999-03-03	Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible.	Martin Mares
	The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module and OS dependent submodules: - krt.c (the generic part) - krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling) - krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning) - krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes) krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc), Netlink substitues all three modules. We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change; not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these primitive operations.
