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.
Adds ability to override time format of show commands for current CLI session
so that it does not depend on configuration and may ease parsing when CLI is
called from tools.
Minor changes by committer.
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.
This allows to have one main socket for the heavy operations
very restricted just for the appropriate users, whereas the
looking glass socket may be more open.
Implemented an idea originally submitted and requested by Akamai.
Move bfd_opts grammar inside BFD parser code to avoid dependences between
nest and BFD grammars, which breaks when BFD build is disabled.
Add dummy bfd_opts grammar rule, so protocols can use this nonterminal
even with BFD disabled.
Thanks to Yuri Honegger for the bugreport.
In OSPFv3-IPv4 there is no requirement that link-local next hop announced
in Link-LSA must be in interface address range. Therefore, for interfaces
that do not have IPv4 address we can use some loopback IP address and
announce it as a next hop. Also we should accept such address.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Use mpls_new_label() / mpls_free_label() also for static labels, to keep
track of allocated labels and to enforce label ranges.
Static label allocations always use static label range, regardless of
configured label range.
Instead of just using route attributes, static routes with
static MPLS labels can be defined just by e.g.:
route 10.1.1.0/24 mpls 100 via 10.1.2.1 mpls 200;
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 new labeling policy MPLS_POLICY_VRF assigns one label to all routes
(from the same FEC map associated with one VRF), while replaces their
next hops with a lookup to a VRF table. This is useful for L3VPN
protocol.
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.
In general, private_id is sparse and protocols may want to map some
internal values directly into it. For example, L3VPN needs to
map VPN route discriminators to private_id.
OTOH, u32 is enough for global_id, as these identifiers are dense.
