Release BIRD now and then let it flee
(use the melody of well-known Oh Freedom!)
This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route
processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary
ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside
the route itself.
This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled
extended route attributes. Dropping it now.
The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the
`struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(),
import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().
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).
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.
OSPFv3-AF can handle multiple topologies of diferent address families
(IPv4, IPv6, both unicast and multicast) using separate instances
distinguished by instance ID ranges.
Dropped struct mpnh and mpnh_*()
Now struct nexthop exists, nexthop_*(), and also included struct nexthop
into struct rta.
Also converted RTD_DEVICE and RTD_ROUTER to RTD_UNICAST. If it is needed
to distinguish between these two cases, RTD_DEVICE is equivalent to
IPA_ZERO(a->nh.gw), RTD_ROUTER is then IPA_NONZERO(a->nh.gw).
From now on, we also explicitely want C99 compatible compiler. We assume
that this 20-year norm should be known almost everywhere.
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing
network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures
to handle these data types and changing everything to use these
data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible.
The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel),
and the code contains some temporary scaffolding.
Comments are welcome.
The patch adds suport for specifying route attributes together with
static routes, e.g.:
route 10.1.1.0/24 via 10.0.0.1 { krt_advmss = 1200; ospf_metric1 = 100; };
Fixes cases where the same network or external route are propagated by
several OSPF routes and some other corner cases in next hop construction
and ECMP. Allows to specify whether external routes should be merged.
Thanks to Peter Christensen for the original patch.
I/O:
- BSD: specify src addr on IP sockets by IP_HDRINCL
- BSD: specify src addr on UDP sockets by IP_SENDSRCADDR
- Linux: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IP_PKTINFO
- IPv6: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IPV6_PKTINFO
- Alternative SKF_BIND flag for binding to IP address
- Allows IP/UDP sockets without tx_hook, on these
sockets a packet is discarded when TX queue is full
- Use consistently SOL_ for socket layer values.
OSPF:
- Packet src addr is always explicitly set
- Support for secondary addresses in BSD
- Dynamic RX/TX buffers
- Fixes some minor buffer overruns
- Interface option 'tx length'
- Names for vlink pseudoifaces (vlinkX)
- Vlinks use separate socket for TX
- Vlinks do not use fixed associated iface
- Fixes TTL for direct unicast packets
- Fixes DONTROUTE for OSPF sockets
- Use ifa->ifname instead of ifa->iface->name
Router ID could be automatically determined based of subset of
ifaces/addresses specified by 'router id from' option. The patch also
does some minor changes related to router ID reconfiguration.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for most of the work.
Allows to send and receive multiple routes for one network by one BGP
session. Also contains necessary core changes to support this (routing
tables accepting several routes for one network from one protocol).
It needs some more cleanup before merging to the master branch.
Now it shows a distance, option to change showing reachable/all network
nodes and better handling of AS-external LSAs in multiple areas. The
command 'show ospf topology' was changed to not show stubnets in both
OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 (previously it displayed stubnets in OSPFv2).
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes
- important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart)
- many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache
- direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes
- min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default
- also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
It seems that by adding one pipe-specific exception to route
announcement code and by adding one argument to rt_notify() callback i
could completely eliminate the need for the phantom protocol instance
and therefore make the code more straightforward. It will also fix some
minor bugs (like ignoring debug flag changes from the command line).
Mixing ip_addr and u32 does bad things on Ultrasparc.
Although both have the same size. Fascinating.
It was not catched by compiler because of varargs.
Allows to add more interface patterns to one common 'options'
section like:
interface "eth3", "eth4" { options common to eth3 and eth4 };
Also removes undocumented and unnecessary ability to specify
more interface patterns with different 'options' sections:
interface "eth3" { options ... }, "eth4" { options ... };
Two new CLI commands for OSPF giving nice informative (and still machine
parsable) representation of OSPF network graph (based on datas from the
LSA database).
The first command (show ospf topology) shows routers, networks and stub
networks, The second command (show ospf state) shows also external
routes and area-external networks and routers propagated by given area
boundary router.
- metric is 3 byte long now
- summary lsa originating
- more OSPF areas possible
- virtual links
- better E1/E2 routes handling
- some bug fixes..
I have to do:
- md5 auth (last mandatory item from rfc2328)
- !!!!DEBUG!!!!! (mainly virtual link system has probably a lot of bugs)
- 2328 appendig E
