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!
Allow to explicitly configure the source IP address for RPKI-To-Router
sessions. Predictable source addresses are useful for minimizing the
holes to be poked in ACLs.
Changed from 'source address' to 'local address' by committer.
BGP route attributes have flags (Optional, Transitive) that are validated
on decode and set to valid value on export. But if such attribute is
modified by filter or set internally by BGP during import, then its flags
would be zero in local tables. That usually does not matter, as they are
not used locally and they were fixed on export, but invalid flags leaked
in BMP and MRT dumps.
Keep route attribute flags set to valid values even when set by filters
or modified by BGP.
Allow to define both nexthop and interface using iproute2-like syntax,
e.g.: route 10.0.0.0/16 via 10.1.0.1 dev "eth0";
Now we can avoid to use link-local scope hack (e.g. 10.1.0.1%eth0)
for cases where both nexthop and interface have to be defined.
Thanks to Marcin Saklak for the suggestion.
We can distinguish BGP sessions if at least one side uses a different IP
address. Extend olock mechanism to handle local IP as a part of key, with
optional wildcard, so BGP sessions could local IP in the olock and not
block themselves.
The help command triggered by '?' keeps the message in readline buffer,
so it could be edited. For noninteractive shell it leads to an unexpected
side effect that `echo <cmd> ? | birdc` executes the command <cmd> after
showing its help. Avoid this by clearing the readline buffer in such case.
Increase max length of notification data in error logs from 16 to 128.
There is already enough space in the buffer.
Thanks to Marco d'Itri for the suggestion.
When a recursive route with MPLS-labeled nexthop was exported to kernel
and read back, the nexthop_same() failed due to different labels_orig
field and kernel protocol reinstalled it unnecessarily.
For comparing hext hops, route cache has to distinguish ones with
different labels_orig, but KRT has to ignore that, so we need two
nexthop compare functions.
Thanks to Marcel Menzel for the bugreport.
Implement BGP Send hold timer according to draft-ietf-idr-bgp-sendholdtimer.
The Send hold timer drops the session if the neighbor is sending keepalives,
but does not receive our messages, causing the TCP connection to stall.
Some BGP capabilities change the BGP behavior in a significant way, so if
the configuration depends on it, it is better to not establish BGP
session when the capability is not available.
Add several BGP option to require individual BGP capabilities during
session negotiation.
The Kernel protocol, even with the option 'learn' enabled, ignores
direct routes created by the OS kernel (on Linux these are routes
with rtm_protocol == RTPROT_KERNEL).
Implement optional behavior where both OS kernel and third-party routes
are learned, it can be enabled by 'learn all' option.
Minor changes by committer.
Old configs do not define MPLS domains and may use a static protocol
to define static MPLS routes.
When MPLS channel is the only channel of static protocol, handle it
as a main channel. Also, define implicit MPLS domain if needed and
none is defined.
