User can specify list of route attributes in the configuration file
and run route aggregation on the export side of the pipe protocol.
Routes are sorted and for every group of equivalent routes
new route is created and exported to the routing table.
It is also possible to specify filter which will run for every
route before aggregation.
Furthermore, it will be possible to set attributes of new routes
according to attributes of the aggregated routes.
This is a work in progress.
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.
The redefinable keywords must be specified in any .Y file as follows:
toksym: THE_KEYWORD ;
This adds support to the Babel protocol for the RTT extension specified
in draft-ietf-babel-rtt-extension. While this extension is not yet at the
RFC stage, it is one of the more useful extensions to Babel[0], so it
seems worth having in Bird as well.
The extension adds timestamps to Hello and IHU TLVs and uses these to
compute an RTT to each neighbour. An extra per-neighbour cost is then
computed from the RTT based on a minimum and maximum interval and cost
value specified in the configuration. The primary use case for this is
improving routing in a geographically distributed tunnel-based overlay
network.
The implementation follows the babeld implementation when picking
constants and default configuration values. It also uses the same RTT
smoothing algorithm as babeld, and follows it in adding a new 'tunnel'
interface type which enables RTT by default.

When an OPEN message without capability options was parsed, the remote
role field was not initialized with the proper (non-zero) default value,
so it was interpreted as if 'provider' was announced.
Thanks to Mikhail Grishin for the bugreport.
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.
Hooks called from BGP to BMP should not log warning when BMP is not
connected, that is not an error (and we do not want to flood logs with
a ton of messages).
Blocked sk_send() should not log warning, that is expected situation.
Error during sk_send() is handled in error hook anyway.
Replace broken TCP connection management with a simple state machine.
Handle failed attempts properly with a timeout, detect and handle TCP
connection close and try to reconnect after that. Remove useless
'station_connected' flag.
Keep open messages saved even after the BMP session establishment,
so they can be used after BMP session flaps.
Use proper log messages for session events.
Use local variable to refence relevant instance instead of using global
instance ptr. Also, use 'p' variable instead of 'bmp' so we can use
common macros like TRACE().
Most error handling code was was for cases that cannot happen,
or they would be code bugs (and should use ASSERT()). Keep error
handling for just for I/O errors, like in rest of BIRD.
Initial implementation of a basic subset of the BMP (BGP Monitoring
Protocol, RFC 7854) from Akamai team. Submitted for further review
and improvement.
Missing translation from BGP attribute ID to eattr ID in bgp_unset_attr()
broke automatic removal of bgp_med during export to EBGP peers.
Thanks to Edward Sun for the bugreport.
Even though the free bind option is primarily meant to alleviate problems
with addresses assigned too late, it's also possible to use BIRD with AnyIP
configuration, assigning whole ranges to the machine. Therefore free bind
allows also to create an outbound connection from specific address even though
such address is not assigned.
