Prefix sets were broken beyond any repair and have to be reimplemented.
They are reimplemented using a trie with bitmasks in nodes.
There is also change in the interpretation of minus prefix pattern,
but the old interpretation was already inconsistent with
the documentation and broken.
There is also some bugfixes in filter code related to set variables.
representing a name of the protocol that originated the route.
Strings can be compared using = or matched using ~. Routes can
be filtered, for example:
show route where proto ~ "bgp1*"
values for MD5 password ID changed during reconfigure, Second
bug is that BIRD chooses password in first-fit manner, but RFC
says that it should use the one with the latest generate-from.
It also modifies the syntax for multiple passwords.
Now it is possible to just add more 'password' statements
to the interface section and it is not needed to use
'passwords' section. Old syntax can be used too.
- 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.
- 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
Note that this is (and always was) a terrible hack and we really should
replace it with something reasonable which wouldn't need changing every
time linuxdoc-tools evolve.
I also needed to include a patched version of LinuxDocTools.pm, because the
original one explicitly refused to work with a non-linuxdoc DTD. The authors
of linuxdoc recommend to use sgmltools-lite in such cases, but it would mean
rewritting our formatting rules to the DSSSL language which I don't dare to
speak about here :)
