All the 'dump something' CLI commands now have a new mandatory
argument -- name of the file where to dump the data. This allows
for more flexible dumping even for production deployments where
the debug output is by default off.
Also the dump commands are now restricted (they weren't before)
to assure that only the appropriate users can run these time consuming
commands.
The original algorithm assumed principles not consistent with the RFC
and could have lead to false invalids.
Also added filter tests showing also how the ASPA literals are used in
the static protocol.
Enum types existed on semantic level, but not on syntactic level,
so they could not be used in filter code.
Generate filter grammar for enum types based on CF_ENUM() declarations.
Thanks to lbz for the bugreport.
Unify grammar for set_atom and switch_atom to avoid inconsistencies
between them. Fix errors in documentation related to case statement
and set type. Change 'vpnrd' to 'rd' to be consistent with the filter
language.
Thanks to Mikhail Mayorov for bugreport.
Add route attribute gw_mpls_stack to make MPLS stack of route nexthop
accessible from filters. Its type is T_CLIST, which is really not correct
(as it is a list, while T_CLIST is a set). Therefore, we keep this
attribute *undocumented* and it will be *changed* without further notice.
Based on a patch from Trisha Biswas <tbiswas@fastly.com>, thanks!
The L3VPN protocol implements RFC 4364 BGP/MPLS VPNs using MPLS backbone.
It works similarly to pipe. It connects IP table (one per VRF) with (global)
VPN table. Routes passed from VPN table to IP table are stripped of RD and
filtered by import targets, routes passed in the other direction are extended
with RD, MPLS labels and export targets in extended communities. A separate
MPLS channel is used to announce MPLS routes for the labels.
The MPLS subsystem manages MPLS labels and handles their allocation to
MPLS-aware routing protocols. These labels are then attached to IP or VPN
routes representing label switched paths -- LSPs.
There was already a preliminary MPLS support consisting of MPLS label
net_addr, MPLS routing tables with static MPLS routes, remote labels in
next hops, and kernel protocol support.
This patch adds the MPLS domain as a basic structure representing local
label space with dynamic label allocator and configurable label ranges.
To represent LSPs, allocated local labels can be attached as route
attributes to IP or VPN routes with local labels as attributes.
There are several steps for handling LSP routes in routing protocols --
deciding to which forwarding equivalence class (FEC) the LSP route
belongs, allocating labels for new FECs, announcing MPLS routes for new
FECs, attaching labels to LSP routes. The FEC map structure implements
basic code for managing FECs in routing protocols, therefore existing
protocols can be made MPLS-aware by adding FEC map and delegating
most work related to local label management to it.
Add a new protocol offering route aggregation.
User can specify list of route attributes in the configuration file and
run route aggregation on the export side of the pipe protocol. Routes are
sorted and for every group of equivalent routes new route is created and
exported to the routing table. It is also possible to specify filter
which will run for every route before aggregation.
Furthermore, it will be possible to set attributes of new routes
according to attributes of the aggregated routes.
This is a work in progress.

Undefined paths and clists should use typed f_val with empty adata
instead of just void f_val. Use common initializer to handle both
variables and eattrs.
List of arguments for function calls is constructed in reverse and then
reverted. This was done in function_call grammar rule. Do the reverse
directly in var_list grammar rule. This fixes reverse order of arguments
in method calls.
- Extend method descriptors with type signature
- Daisy chain method descriptors for the same symbol
- Dispatch methods for same symbol based on type signature
- Split add/delete/filter operations to multiple methods
- Replace ad-hoc dispatch of old-style syntax with scope-based dispatch
- Also change method->arg_num to count initial arg
It still needs some improvements, like better handling of untyped
expressions and better error reporting when no dispatch can be done.
The multiple dispatch could also be extended to dispatch regular
function-like expressions in a uniform way.
Methods can now be called as x.m(y), as long as x can have its type
inferred in config time. If used as a command, it modifies the object,
if used as a value, it keeps the original object intact.
Also functions add(x,y), delete(x,y), filter(x,y) and prepend(x,y) now
spit a warning and are considered deprecated.
It's also possible to call a method on a constant, see filter/test.conf
for examples like bgp_path = +empty+.prepend(1).
Inside instruction definitions (filter/f-inst.c), a METHOD_CONSTRUCTOR()
call is added, which registers the instruction as a method for the type
of its first argument. Each type has its own method symbol table and
filter parser switches between them based on the inferred type of the
object calling the method.
Also FI_CLIST_(ADD|DELETE|FILTER) instructions have been split to allow
for this method dispatch. With type inference, it's now possible.
This is a backport cherry-pick of commits
165156beebcce974e8ea
from the v3.0 branch as we need symbol hashes directly inside their
scopes for more general usage than before.
