Although standard says that if we receive AS_PATH_CONFED_*
(and we are not a part of a confederation) segment, we should
drop session, nobody does that and it is unwise to do that.
Now we drop session just in case that peer ASN is in
AS_PATH_CONFED_* segment (to detect peer that considers BIRD
as a part of its confederation).
AS4 optional attribute errors were handled by session
drop (according to BGP RFC). This patch implements
error handling according to new BGP AS4 draft (*)
- ignoring invalid AS4 optional attributes.
(*) http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chen-rfc4893bis-02.txt
This patch extends the length for attributes from 1024 to 2048
(because both AS_PATH and AS4_PATH attributes take 2+4 B per AS).
If there is not enough space for attributes, Bird skips that
route group. Old behavior (skipping remaining attributes)
leads to skipping required attributes and session drop.
When capability related error is received, next connect will be
without capabilities. Also cease error subcodes descriptions
(according to [RFC4486]) are added.
BGP keeps its copy of configuration ptr and didn't update it during
reconfiguration. But old configuration is freed during reconfiguration.
That leads to unnecessary reset of BGP connection during reconfiguration
(old conf is corrupted and therefore different) and possibly other strange
behavior.
Fixes two race conditions causing crash of Bird, several unhandled
cases during BGP initialization, and some other bugs. Also changes
handling of startup delay to be more useful and implement
reporting of last error in 'show protocols' command.
RFC says that only connections in OpenConfirm and Established state
should participate in connection collision detection.
The current implementation leads to race condition when both sides
are trying to connect at the almost same time, then both sides
receive OPEN message by different connections at the almost same
time and close the other connection. Both connections are
closed and the both sides end in start/idle or start/active
state.
- Old MED handling was completely different from behavior
specified in RFCs - for example they havn't been propagated
to neighboring areas.
- Update tie-breaking according to RFC 4271.
- Change default value for 'default bgp_med' configuration
option according to RFC 4271.
- 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
you can delete the socket from anywhere in the hooks and nothing should break.
Also, the receive/transmit buffers are now regular xmalloc()'ed buffers,
not separate resources which would need shuffling around between pools.
sk_close() is gone, use rfree() instead.
address. Need to do it better for the other neighbors -- the current
solution works only if they use the standard 64+64 global addresses
and the interface identifier in lower 64 bits is the same as for the
link-scope addresses.
