Keywords and attributes are split to separate namespaces, to avoid
collisions between regular keyword use and attribute overlay.
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.
This is a backport cherry-pick of commits
165156beebcce974e8ea
from the v3.0 branch as we need symbol hashes directly inside their
scopes for more general usage than before.
Most syntactic constructs in BIRD configuration (e.g. protocol options)
are defined as keywords, which are distinct from symbols (user-defined
names for protocols, variables, ...). That may cause backwards
compatibility issue when a new feature is added, as it may collide with
existing user names.
We can allow keywords to be shadowed by symbols in almost all cases to
avoid this issue.
This replaces the previous mechanism, where shadowable symbols have to be
explictly added to kw_syms.
Nonterminal bytestring allows to provide expressions to be evaluated in
places where BYTETEXT is used now: passwords, radv custom option.
Based on the patch from Alexander Zubkov <green@qrator.net>, thanks!
- Rename BYTESTRING lexem to BYTETEXT, not to collide with 'bytestring' type name
- Add bytestring type with id T_BYTESTRING (0x2c)
- Add from_hex() filter function to create bytestring from hex string
- Add filter test cases for bytestring type
Minor changes by committer.
For whatever reason, parser allocated a symbol for every parsed keyword
in each scope. That wasted time and memory. The effect is worsened with
recent changes allowing local scopes, so keywords often promote soft
scopes (with no symbols) to real scopes.
Do not allocate a symbol for a keyword. Take care of keywords that could
be promoted to symbols (kw_sym) and do it explicitly.
The feature of showing all prefixes inside the given one has been added
in v2.0.9 but not well documented. Fixing it by this update.
Text in doc and commit message added by commiter.
By this, the requesting channels do the timers in their own loops,
avoiding unnecessary synchronization when the central timer went off.
This is of course less effective for now, yet it allows to easily
implement selective reloads in future.
These routines detect the export congestion (as defined by configurable
thresholds) and propagate the state to readers. There are no readers for
now, they will be added in following commits.
There were more conflicts that I'd like to see, most notably in route
export. If a bisect identifies this commit with something related, it
may be simply true that this commit introduces that bug. Let's hope it
doesn't happen.
Until now, if export table was enabled, Nest was storing exactly the
route before rt_notify() was called on it. This was quite sloppy and
spooky and it also wasn't reflecting the changes BGP does before
sending. And as BGP is storing the routes to be sent anyway, we are
simply keeping the already-sent routes in there to better rule out
unneeded reexports.
Some of the route attributes (IGP metric, preference) make no sense in
BGP, therefore these will be probably replaced by something sensible.
Also the nexthop shown in the short output is the BGP nexthop.
When f_line is done, we have to pop the stack frame. The old code just
removed nominal number of args/vars. Change it to use stored ventry value
modified by number of returned values. This allows to allocate variables
on a stack frame during execution of f_lines instead of just at start.
But we need to know the number of returned values for a f_line. It is 1
for term, 0 for cmd. Store that to f_line during linearization.
In the multithreaded environment, it is not supposed that anybody
traverses the routing table as the CLI show-route was doing. Now the
routing table traversal is gone and CLI won't hold the table locked
while computing filters.
Added an option for export filter to allow for prefiltering based on the
prefix. Routes outside the given prefix are completely ignored. Config
is simple:
export in <net> <filter>;
