The patch implements optional internal export table to a channel and
hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-Out. When enabled, all
exported (post-filtered) routes are stored there. An export table can be
examined using e.g. 'show route export table bgp1.ipv4'.
Several BGP channel options (including 'next hop self') could be
reconfigured without session reset, with just route refeed/refresh.
The patch improves reconfiguration code to do it that way.
The 'deterministic med' option is implemented by suppressing other than
best-in-group routes (grouped by ASN) from best route selection. This
interferes with 'merge paths' as supressed routes are no longer mergable
with best route. This is fixed by suppressing only those routes that are
not mergable with best-in-group route.
Per RFC 3101, N-bit signalling NSSA support should be used only in Hello
packets, not in DBDES packets. BIRD since 2.0.4 verifies N-bit in
neighbor structure, which is learned from DBDES packets, therefore
NSSA-LSAs are not propagated to proper implementations of RFC 3101.
This patch fixes that. Both removing the check and removing N-bit from
DBDES packet. This will fix compatibility issues with proper
implementations, but causes compatibility issues with BIRD 2.0.4.
We need to flush learned external LSAs a bit later than other LSAs (after
first feed after end of the graceful restart) to avoid flap of external
routes.
Implement OSPFv2 (RFC 3623) and OSPFv3 (RFC 5187) graceful restart,
for both restarting and helper sides. Graceful restart is initiated
by 'graceful down' command.
When 'graceful down' command is entered, protocols are shut down
with regard to graceful restart. Namely Kernel protocol does
not remove routes and BGP protocol does not send notification,
just closes the connection.
Implicitly define rtables 'local4' and 'local6' and a pair of direct
protocols to fill them. Use modified net_route() for neighbor
lookup to avoid iterating over all interfaces.
Handle unresolvable routes (recursive routes that cannot be resolved) as
invalid, i.e. deprioritize tham and do not allow them for propagation.
Such route now shows as 'unresolvable' instead of 'unreachable'.
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;
When area is reconfigured to a different type, we need to flush LSAs as
they may not be valid (e.g. NSSA-LSA for non-NSSA area). Also, when we
have have just one OSPF area and that changes type, we could restart OSPF
as there is no state to keep anyway. That solves issue with different
handling of external routes exported to OSPF based of main area type.
External LSAs originated by OSPF routers with VPN-PE behavior enabled are
marked by DN flag and they are ignored by other OSPF routers with VPN-PE
enabled.
In some circumstances (old LSA flushed but not acknowledged and not
removed) origination of a new LSA may wrongly triggers LSA collision
code. The patch fixes that.

The patch implements optional internal import table to a channel and
hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-In. When enabled, all
received (pre-filtered) routes are stored there and import filters can
be re-evaluated without explicit route refresh. An import table can be
examined using e.g. 'show route import table bgp1.ipv4'.
Direct acknowledgements should be send as unicast to a corresponding
neighbor. Only delayed acks should be send as multicast to all/designated
routers.
Master may free last DBDES packet immediately. Slave must wait dead
interval before freeing last DBDES packet and then reject duplicate
DBDES packets with SeqNumberMismatch.
This is a quite straightforward implementation of RBT together with
a unit test. It is assumed that all the keys are unique.
Capabilities: find, insert, delete, first, next.
