During NLRI parsing of IPv6 Flowspec, dst prefix was not properly
extracted from NLRI, therefore a received flow was stored in a different
position in flowspec routing table, and was not reachable by command
'show route <flow>'.
Add proper prefix part accessors to flowspec code and use them from BGP
NLRI parsing code.
Thanks to Alex D. for the bugreport.
There is an improper check for valid message size, which may lead to
stack overflow and buffer leaks to log when a large message is received.
Thanks to Daniel McCarney for bugreport and analysis.
Instead of having large stack buffer for max amount of AFI/SAFI pairs.
The old code is not correct w.r.t. extendeded option length, as more
AFI/SAFI pairs may fit into the capability option.
If BGP has too many data to send and BIRD is slower than the link, TX is
always possible until all data is sent. This patch limits maximum number
of generated BGP messages in one iteration of TX hook.
When BGP connection is opened, it may happen that rx hook (with remote
OPEN) is called before tx hook (for local OPEN). Therefore, we need to do
internal changes (like setting local_caps) synchronously with OPENSENT
transition and we need to ensure that OPEN is sent before KEEPALIVE.
Allow to specify just 'internal' or 'external' for remote neighbor
instead of specific ASN. In the second case that means BGP peers with
any non-local ASNs are accepted.
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.
Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' options to have boolean values
(enabled / disabled) and also values 'ibgp'/ 'ebgp' to restrict it to
routes received from IBGP / EBGP. This allows to have it enabled by
default in some cases, matches features of other implementations, and
allows to handle some strange cases like EBGP border router with 'next
hop self' also doing IBGP route reflecting.
Change default of 'next hop keep' to enabled for route servers, and
'ibgp' for route reflectors.
Update documentation for these options.
The patch implements optional internal import table to a channel and
hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-In. When enabled, all
received (pre-filtered) routes are stored there and import filters can
be re-evaluated without explicit route refresh. An import table can be
examined using e.g. 'show route import table bgp1.ipv4'.
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.
We currently cannot assing local labels, but we can still be LSP egress
router. Therefore when we announce labeled route with local next-hop, we
should announce implicit-NULL label instead of rejecting it completely.
RFC 3107 was bit vague with regard to labeled withdrawals, RFC 8277
clarified that. The old code was incompatible with some implementations,
namely with Juniper.
Thanks to Vadim Fedorenko for the original patch.
The patch implements BGP Administrative Shutdown Communication (RFC 8203)
allowing BGP operators to pass messages related to BGP session
administrative shutdown/restart. It handles both transmit and receive of
shutdown messages. Messages are logged and may be displayed by show
protocol all command.
Thanks to Job Snijders for the basic patch.
Covers IPv4/VPNv4 routes with IPv6 next hop (RFC 5549), IPv6 routes with
IPv4 next hop (RFC 4798) and VPNv6 routes with IPv4 next hop (RFC 4659).
Unfortunately it also makes next hop hooks more messy.
Each BGP channel now could have two IGP tables, one for IPv4 next hops,
the other for IPv6 next hops.
Basic support for SAFI 4 and 128 (MPLS labeled IP and VPN) for IPv4 and
IPv6. Should work for route reflector, but does not properly handle
originating routes with next hop self.
Based on patches from Jan Matejka.
When a BGP session with ADD_PATH is restarted and the neighbor do not
announce ADD_PATH capability during reconnect, the accept_ra_types is
still set to RA_ANY.
Thanks to Lennert Buytenhek for the bugreport
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.
Under some circumstances and heavy load, TX could be postponed
until the session fails with hold timer expired.
Thanks to Javor Kliachev for making the bug reproductible.
Stack variable may be used unitialized and that would lead to spurious
rta_free(), which may cause crash. The bug was introduced in 1.4.1 from
merging add-path branch.
Thanks to Peter Andreev for reporting it and Alexander V. Chernikov for
resolving it.
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.
Hostcache is a structure for monitoring changes in a routing table that
is used for routes with dynamic/recursive next hops. This is needed for
proper iBGP next hop handling.
- 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
