Most commands like 'show ospf neighbors' fail when protocol is not
specified and there are multiple instances of given protocol type.
This is annoying in BIRD 2, as many protocols have IPv4 and IPv6
instances. The patch changes that by showing output from all protocol
instances of appropriate type.
Note that the patch also removes terminating cli_msg() call from these
commands and moves it to the common iterating code.
Compare the new timing parameters with the old configuration, not with
the temporary state of the current connection.
The timing values in struct rpki_cache is updated by a version 1 End Of
Data PDU, unless this behavior is suppressed by the configuration
explicitly by the "keep" keyword. Consequently, every reconfiguration
of BIRD triggers a reconnection even if it is not necessary.
If the next hop of a route is not a reachable address, the route should be
installed as onlink. This enables a configuration common in mesh networks
where the mesh interface is assigned a /32 and babel handles the routing by
installing onlink routes.
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.
This issue has a long history. In 2012, we changed data field for
unnumbered PtP links from iface id (specified by RFC) to IP address based
on reports of bugs in Quagga that required it, and we used out-of-band
information to distinquish unnumberred PtPs with the same local IP
address.
Then with OSPF graceful restart implementation, we found that we can no
longer use out-of-band information, and we need to use only LSAdb info
for routing table calculation, but i forgot to finish handling of this
case, so multiple unnumbered PtPs with the same local IP addresses were
broken.
Considering that even recent Mikrotik RouterOS has broken next hop
calculation that depends on IP address in PtP link data field, we
cannot just switch back to the iface id for unnumbered PtP links.
The patch makes two changes: First, it goes back to use out-of-band
(position) info for distinguishing local interfaces in SPF when graceful
restart is not enabled, while still uses LSAdb-only approach for SPF
calculation when graceful restart is enabled.
Second, it adds OSPF interface option 'ptp address', which controls
whether IP address or iface id is used in data field. It is enabled
by default except for unnumbered PtP links with enabled graceful
restart.
Thanks to Kenth Eriksson for the bugreport and Joakim Tjernlund for
suggestions.
There are three common ways how to encode IPv6 link-local-only next hops:
(:: ll), (ll), and (ll ll). We use the first one but we should accept all
three. The patch fixes handling of the last one.
Thanks to Sebastian Hahn for the bugreport.
The RFC 5575 does not explicitly reject flowspec rules without dst part,
it just requires dst part in validation procedure for feasibility, which
we do not implement anyway. Thus flow without dst prefix is syntactically
valid, but unfeasible (if feasibilty testing is done).
Thanks to Alex D. for the bugreport.
When dynamic BGP with remote range is configured, MD5SIG needs to use
newer socket option (TCP_MD5SIG_EXT) to specify remote addres range for
listening socket.
Thanks to Adam Kułagowski for the suggestion.
Recent changes in neighbor code caused RIP to access neighbor field which
is NULL during interface/neighbor removal and caused crash when debug
messages are enabled. Use correct field to get iface from neighbor.
During NLRI parsing of IPv6 Flowspec, dst prefix was not properly
extracted from NLRI, therefore a received flow was stored in a different
position in flowspec routing table, and was not reachable by command
'show route <flow>'.
Add proper prefix part accessors to flowspec code and use them from BGP
NLRI parsing code.
Thanks to Alex D. for the bugreport.
This is optional check described in RFC 4271. Although this can be also
done by filters, it is widely implemented option in BGP implementations.
Thanks to Eugene Bogomazov for the original patch.
Transitive extended communities should be removed on external sessions,
the old code them in all cases.
Thanks to Jean-Daniel Pauget for the original patch.
Change of some options requires route refresh, but when import table is
active, channel reload is done from it instead of doing full route
refresh. So in this case we request it internally.
The bfd_reconfigure_neighbors() returned after first reconfigured
neighbor instead of continuing with the next one.
Thanks to Winston Chen for the bugreport and a patch.
There is an improper check for valid message size, which may lead to
stack overflow and buffer leaks to log when a large message is received.
Thanks to Daniel McCarney for bugreport and analysis.
Instead of having large stack buffer for max amount of AFI/SAFI pairs.
The old code is not correct w.r.t. extendeded option length, as more
AFI/SAFI pairs may fit into the capability option.
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.
