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.
OSPFv3-AF can handle multiple topologies of diferent address families
(IPv4, IPv6, both unicast and multicast) using separate instances
distinguished by instance ID ranges.
Explicit setting of AF_INET(6|) in IP socket creation. BFD set to listen
on v6, without setting the V6ONLY flag to catch both v4 and v6 traffic.
Squashing and minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek
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.
New LSA checksumming code separates generic Fletcher-16 and OSPF-specific
code and avoids back and forth endianity conversions, making it much more
readable and also several times faster.
Prior to this patch, BIRD validates the OSPF LSA checksum by calculating
a new checksum and comparing it with the checksum in the header. Due to
the specifics of the Fletcher checksum used in OSPF, this is not
necessarily correct as the checkbytes in the header may be calculated via
a different means and end up with a different value that is nonetheless
still correct.
The documented means of validating the checksum as specified in RFC 905
B.4 is to calculate c0 and c1 from the unchanged contents of the packet,
which must result in a zero value to be considered valid.
Thanks to Chris Boot for the patch.
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
