- Adds check to deny config file with no specified protocol to prevent
loading of empty config file.
- Moves CLI init before config parse to receive immediate error message
when cannot open control socket.
- Fixes socket name path check and other error handling in CLI init.
When device protocol goes down, interfaces should be flushed
asynchronously (in the same way like routes from protocols are flushed),
when protocol goes to DOWN/HUNGRY.
This fixes the problem with static routes staying in kernel routing
table after BIRD shutdown.
- BSD kernel syncer is now self-conscious and can learn alien routes
- important bugfix in BSD kernel syncer (crash after protocol restart)
- many minor changes and bugfixes in kernel syncers and neighbor cache
- direct protocol does not generate host and link local routes
- min_scope check is removed, all routes have SCOPE_UNIVERSE by default
- also fixes some remaining compiler warnings
Changes the time complexity of the algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n*log(n)).
This speeds up loading of huge DEC-IX config from 128 s to 15 s. It also
makes the code significantly simpler.
It seems that by adding one pipe-specific exception to route
announcement code and by adding one argument to rt_notify() callback i
could completely eliminate the need for the phantom protocol instance
and therefore make the code more straightforward. It will also fix some
minor bugs (like ignoring debug flag changes from the command line).
When uncofiguring the pipe and the peer table, the peer table was
unlocked when pipe protocol state changed to down/flushing and not to
down/hungry. This leads to the removal of the peer table before
the routes from the pipe were flushed.
The fix leads to adding some pipe-specific hacks to the nest,
but this seems inevitable.
Process well-known communities before the export filter (old behavior is
to process these attributes after, which does not allow to send route
with such community) and just for routes received from other BGP
protocols. Also fixes a bug in next_hop check.
