definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional
argument telling which table should they modify.
Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table
has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the
rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling
proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will
be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol.
The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also
all their connections.
version:
EXPORT <filter-spec> for outbound routes (i.e., those announced
by BIRD to the rest of the world).
IMPORT <filter-spec> for inbound routes (i.e., those imported
by BIRD from the rest of the world).
where <filter-spec> is one of:
ALL pass all routes
NONE drop all routes
FILTER <name> use named filter
FILTER { <filter> } use explicitly defined filter
For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes
the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous
configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for
a bird.conf example :)).
whitespace/semicolon rules for whole config file:
o All non-zero amounts of whitespace are equivalent to single space
(aka `all the whitespace has been born equal' ;-)).
o Comments count as whitespace.
o Whitespace has no syntactic signifance (it can only separate lexical
elements).
o Consequence: line ends are no longer treated as `;'s.
o Every declaration must be terminated by an explicit `;' unless
or by a group enclosed in `{' and `}'.
o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify
the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and
interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated
by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that
it will be possible to feed different device routes to different
routing tables once multiple tables get supported).
See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
- cfg_strcpy() -> cfg_strdup()
- mempool -> linpool, mp_* -> lp_* [to avoid confusion with memblock, mb_*]
Anyway, it might be better to stop ranting about names and do some *real* work.
intended to serve as an example of interface pattern list use. As a side
effect, you can disable generating of device routes by disabling
this protocol.
