Add internal BMP functions with plicit bmp_proto *p as first argument,
which allows using TRACE() macro. Keep list of BMP instances and call
internal functions. Old BMP functions are wrappers that call internal
functions for all enabled BMP instances.
Extract End-of-RIB mark into separate function.
Based on patch from Michal Zagorski <mzagorsk@akamai.com>. Thanks!
Initial implementation of a basic subset of the BMP (BGP Monitoring
Protocol, RFC 7854) from Akamai team. Submitted for further review
and improvement.
This brought unnecessary complexity into the decision procedures while the
performance aspects weren't worth it. It just saved one ea_list traversal
when many others are also done.
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.
The effective keepalive time now scales relative to the negotiated
hold time, to maintain proportion between the keepalive time and the
hold time. This avoids issues when both keepalive and hold times
were configured, the hold time was negotiated to a smaller value,
but the keepalive time stayed the same.
Add new options 'min hold time' and 'min keepalive time', which reject
session attempts with too small hold time.
Improve validation of config options an their documentation.
Thanks to Alexander Zubkov and Sergei Goriunov for suggestions.
Add BGP channel option 'next hop prefer global' that modifies BGP
recursive next hop resolution to use global next hop IPv6 address instead
of link-local next hop IPv6 address for immediate next hop of received
routes.
In principle, the channel list is a list of parent struct proto and can
contain general structures of type struct channel, That is useful e.g.
for adding MPLS channels to BGP.
Had to fix route source locking inside BGP export table as we need to
keep the route sources properly allocated until even last BGP pending
update is sent out, therefore the export table printout is accurate.
For BGP LLGR purposes, there was an API allowing a protocol to directly
modify their stale routes in table before flushing them. This API was
called by the table prune routine which violates the future locking
requirements.
Instead of this, BGP now requests a special route export and reimports
these routes into the table, allowing for asynchronous execution without
locking the table on export.
Implement BGP roles as described in RFC 9234. It is a mechanism for
route leak prevention and automatic route filtering based on common BGP
topology relationships. It defines role capability (controlled by 'local
role' option) and OTC route attribute, which is used for automatic route
filtering and leak detection.
Minor changes done by commiter.
Until now, if export table was enabled, Nest was storing exactly the
route before rt_notify() was called on it. This was quite sloppy and
spooky and it also wasn't reflecting the changes BGP does before
sending. And as BGP is storing the routes to be sent anyway, we are
simply keeping the already-sent routes in there to better rule out
unneeded reexports.
Some of the route attributes (IGP metric, preference) make no sense in
BGP, therefore these will be probably replaced by something sensible.
Also the nexthop shown in the short output is the BGP nexthop.
Passing protocol to preexport was in fact a historical relic from the
old times when channels weren't a thing. Refactoring that to match
current extensibility needs.
