Kernel routes with different metrics do not clash with each other,
therefore using dedicated metric value is a reliable way to avoid
overwriting routes from other sources (e.g. kernel device routes).
Although kernel route metric could already be set as a route attribute by
filters, that is not consistent with the way how Linux kernel handles
route metric - not just a route attribute, but a part of a route key.
Linux represents IPv6 ECMP routes as a sequence of unipath routes with
the same prefix. We have to translate between our representation (one
route with multipath next hop) and the Linux representation in both
directions.
Proper learning of alien IPv6 ECMP routes still not supported.
Thanks to Mikhail Sennikovskii for the original patch.
Ignore tentative IPv6 addresses and wait until finish of Duplicate
Address Detection (We got notification when an address is no longer
tentative) to avoid problems when protocols try to use interfaces
with tentative link-local addresses.

The netlink code assumes an order for the members of struct msghdr.
This breaks recvmsg and sendmsg with musl libc on mips64. Fix this by
using designated initializers instead.

Add code for manipulation with TCP-MD5 keys in the IPsec SA/SP database
at FreeBSD systems. Now, BGP MD5 authentication (RFC 2385) keys are
handled automatically on both Linux and FreeBSD.
Based on patches from Pavel Tvrdik.
When a kernel route changed, function krt_learn_scan() noticed that and
replaced the route in internal kernel FIB, but after that, function
krt_learn_prune() failed to propagate the new route to the nest, because
it confused the new route with the (removed) old best route and decided
that the best route did not changed.
Wow, the original code (and the bug) is almost 17 years old.
Wanted netlink attributes are defined in a table, specifying
their size and neediness. Removing the long conditions that did the
validation before.
Also parsing IPv4 and IPv6 versions regardless on the IPV6 macro.
Since 2.6.19, the netlink API defines RTA_TABLE routing attribute to
allow 32-bit routing table IDs. Using this attribute to index routing
tables at Linux, instead of 8-bit rtm_table field.
Unfortunately, some interfaces support multicast but do not have
this flag set, so we use it only as a positive hint.
Thanks to Clint Armstrong for noticing the problem.
Although RFC 3542 allows both cases, Theo de Raadt thinks
he knows better, and msg_controllen without last padding
fails on OpenBSD.
Thanks to Job Snijders for the bugreport.
I/O:
- BSD: specify src addr on IP sockets by IP_HDRINCL
- BSD: specify src addr on UDP sockets by IP_SENDSRCADDR
- Linux: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IP_PKTINFO
- IPv6: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IPV6_PKTINFO
- Alternative SKF_BIND flag for binding to IP address
- Allows IP/UDP sockets without tx_hook, on these
sockets a packet is discarded when TX queue is full
- Use consistently SOL_ for socket layer values.
OSPF:
- Packet src addr is always explicitly set
- Support for secondary addresses in BSD
- Dynamic RX/TX buffers
- Fixes some minor buffer overruns
- Interface option 'tx length'
- Names for vlink pseudoifaces (vlinkX)
- Vlinks use separate socket for TX
- Vlinks do not use fixed associated iface
- Fixes TTL for direct unicast packets
- Fixes DONTROUTE for OSPF sockets
- Use ifa->ifname instead of ifa->iface->name
Interfaces for OSPF and RIP could be configured to use (and request)
TTL 255 for traffic to direct neighbors.
Thanks to Simon Dickhoven for the original patch for RIPng.
Implements support for IPv6 traffic class, sets higher priority for OSPF
and RIP outgoing packets by default and allows to configure ToS/DS/TClass
IP header field and the local priority of outgoing packets.
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.
