RFC says that only connections in OpenConfirm and Established state
should participate in connection collision detection.
The current implementation leads to race condition when both sides
are trying to connect at the almost same time, then both sides
receive OPEN message by different connections at the almost same
time and close the other connection. Both connections are
closed and the both sides end in start/idle or start/active
state.
Two new CLI commands for OSPF giving nice informative (and still machine
parsable) representation of OSPF network graph (based on datas from the
LSA database).
The first command (show ospf topology) shows routers, networks and stub
networks, The second command (show ospf state) shows also external
routes and area-external networks and routers propagated by given area
boundary router.
The code generating LSAs for PTP OSPF links is buggy. The old behavior
is that it generates PTP link if there is a full/ptp neighbor and stub
link if there isn't. According to RFC 2328, the correct behavior is to
generate stub link in both cases (in the first case together with PTP
link).
And because of buggy detection of unnumbered networks, for numbered
networks the code creates stub links with 0.0.0.0/32.
Bird sometimes reported 'bird: nl_parse_link: Malformed message received'.
The cause is that bird asynchronously received netlink packet from
wireless driver about some wireless event on its link layer. In that
case bird shouldn't complain.
Here is a patch fixing a bug that causes breakage of a local routing
table during shutdown of Bird. The problem was caused by shutdown
of 'device' protocol before shutdown of 'kernel' protocol. When
'device' protocol went down, the route (with local network prefix)
From different protocol (BGP or OSPF) became preferred and installed
to the kernel routing table. Such routes were broken (like
192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.2). I think it is also the cause
of problem reported by Martin Kraus.
The patch disables updating of kernel routing table during shutdown of
Bird. I am not sure whether this is the best way to fix it, I would
prefer to forbid 'kernel' protocol to overwrite routes with
'proto kernel'.
The patch also fixes a problem that during shutdown sometimes routes
created by Bird remained in the kernel routing table.
- Old MED handling was completely different from behavior
specified in RFCs - for example they havn't been propagated
to neighboring areas.
- Update tie-breaking according to RFC 4271.
- Change default value for 'default bgp_med' configuration
option according to RFC 4271.
