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.
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.
Dropped struct mpnh and mpnh_*()
Now struct nexthop exists, nexthop_*(), and also included struct nexthop
into struct rta.
Also converted RTD_DEVICE and RTD_ROUTER to RTD_UNICAST. If it is needed
to distinguish between these two cases, RTD_DEVICE is equivalent to
IPA_ZERO(a->nh.gw), RTD_ROUTER is then IPA_NONZERO(a->nh.gw).
From now on, we also explicitely want C99 compatible compiler. We assume
that this 20-year norm should be known almost everywhere.
New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing
network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures
to handle these data types and changing everything to use these
data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible.
The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel),
and the code contains some temporary scaffolding.
Comments are welcome.
Now it shows a distance, option to change showing reachable/all network
nodes and better handling of AS-external LSAs in multiple areas. The
command 'show ospf topology' was changed to not show stubnets in both
OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 (previously it displayed stubnets in OSPFv2).
- metric is 3 byte long now
- summary lsa originating
- more OSPF areas possible
- virtual links
- better E1/E2 routes handling
- some bug fixes..
I have to do:
- md5 auth (last mandatory item from rfc2328)
- !!!!DEBUG!!!!! (mainly virtual link system has probably a lot of bugs)
- 2328 appendig E
have one machine publishing a route to 10.1.1.3/32 and another one
publishing a route to 10.1.1.4/32. If the first machine went down the
route to 10.1.1.4/32 was wrongly killed by the old code, leading either
to missing routes or worse to bug()s like "Router parent does not have
next hop" or just segfaults. The patch fixes this but in the long term a
redesign is required here. Note that the patch doesn't worse the
situation, instead it prevents the problems stated. The redesign is
required to handle multiple routes to small subnets properly.

Feela, I think that this is at least a good temporary fix, but it's
of course up to you to decide.
