Change the usage of preference to distinguish multiple static routes to a
separate metric attribute, Reuse igp_metric attribute for that purpose.
The static route metric is specified with 'metric' keyword immediately
after the network (to signify it is a part of key):
route 10.10.0.0/24 metric 10 via 192.168.1.2;
Add proper support for per-nexthop onlink flag in routes to handle next
hop addresses that are not covered by interface IP ranges. Supported by
kernel and static protocols.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the idea.
The patch fixes several bugs introduced in previous changes, simplifies
the protocol by handing routes uniformly, introduces asynchronous route
processing to avoid issues with separate notifications for each next-hop
in ECMP routes, and makes reconfiguration faster by avoiding quadratic
complexity.
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.
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
The patch adds suport for specifying route attributes together with
static routes, e.g.:
route 10.1.1.0/24 via 10.0.0.1 { krt_advmss = 1200; ospf_metric1 = 100; };
o Use `expr' instead of `NUM' and `ipa' instead of `IPA',
so that defined symbols work everywhere.
o `define' now accepts both numbers and IP addresses.
o Renamed `ipa' in filters to `fipa'.
Pavel, please update filters to accept define'd symbols as well.
