Modify protocols to use preferred address change notification instead on
depending on hard-reset of interfaces in that case, and remove hard-reset
in that case. This avoids issue when e.g. IPv6 protocol restarts
interface when IPv4 preferred address changed (as hard-reset is
unavoidable and common for whole iface).
The patch also fixes a bug when removing last address does not send
preferred address change notification.
The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the
MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is
refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more
integrated into MRT in the future.
Example:
protocol mrt {
table "*";
filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt";
period 60;
}
It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.
Missing argument in MTU change trace message can crash bird when MTU
change happens and trace messages are active.

We currently cannot assing local labels, but we can still be LSP egress
router. Therefore when we announce labeled route with local next-hop, we
should announce implicit-NULL label instead of rejecting it completely.
RFC 3107 was bit vague with regard to labeled withdrawals, RFC 8277
clarified that. The old code was incompatible with some implementations,
namely with Juniper.
Thanks to Vadim Fedorenko for the original patch.
In case of missing IPv4 next hop, we should skip such routes
on transmit and ignore such routes on receive.
Thanks to Julian Schuh for the bugreport and Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen

This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route
processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary
ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside
the route itself.
This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled
extended route attributes. Dropping it now.
The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the
`struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(),
import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().
During route export, the receiving protocol often initialized route
metrics to default value in its import_control hook before export filter
was executed. This is inconsistent with the expectation that an export
filter would process the same route as one in the routing table and it
breaks setting these metrics before (e.g. for static routes directly in
static protocol).
The patch removes the initialization of route metrics in import_control
hook, the default values are already handled in rt_notify hook called
after export filters.
The patch also changed the behavior of OSPF to keep metrics when a route
is reannounced between OSPF instances (to be consistent with other
protocols) and the behavior when both ospf_metric1 and ospf_metric2
are specified (to have more expected behavior).
When a Babel node restarts, it loses its sequence number, which can cause
its routes to be rejected by peers until the state is cleared out by other
nodes in the network (which can take on the order of minutes).
There are two ways to fix this: Having stable storage to keep the sequence
number across restarts, or picking a different router ID each time.
This implements the latter, by introducing a new option that will cause
BIRD to randomize a high 32 bits of router ID every time it starts up.
This avoids the problem at the cost of not having stable router IDs in
the network.
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.
The router ID being assigned to routes was a uint, which discards the
upper 32 bits. This also has the nice side effect of echoing the wrong
router ID back to other routers.
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.
This patch adds support for source-specific routing to the Babel protocol.
It changes the protocol to support both NET_IP6 and NET_IP6_SADR channels
for IPv6 addresses. If only a NET_IP6 channel is configured,
source-specific updates are ignored. Otherwise, non-source-specific
routes are simply treated as source-specific routes with SADR prefix 0.
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the original patch.
Minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek.
Several changes and bugfixes in Babel, namely:
- Exported route parameters stored directly in route table entry
- Exported non-babel routes no longer stored in per-entry route list
- Route update, selection and retraction simplified and fixed
- Route feasibility is evalualated per update and stored with route
- Unreachable route handling fixed, based on hold interval
- Added 'show babel routes' command
Overall, it fixes some issues with proper propagation of triggered
updates, making Babel convergence after topology change almost
instant.
Also fix several minor bugs and add 'limit' option for k-out-of-j
link sensing strategy. Change default from 8-of-16 to 12-of-16.
Change IHU expiry factor from 1.5 to 3.5 (as in RFC 6126).
The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The
plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean
it up.
RFC6126bis introduces a flags field for the Hello TLV, and adds a unicast flag
that is used to signify that a hello was sent as unicast. This adds parsing of
the flags field and ignores such unicast hellos, which preserves compatibility
until we can add a proper implementation of the unicast hello mechanism.
Thanks to Toke Hoiland-Jorgensen for the patch.
The TTL check must be done after instance ID dispatch to avoid warnings
when a physical iface is shared by multiple instances and some use TTL
security and some not.
In such case, next hop has to be taken from Link-LSA like in broadcast
case, not from neighbor source address like in other PtP cases.
Also add some checks, comments and code cleanup.
OSPFv3-AF can handle multiple topologies of diferent address families
(IPv4, IPv6, both unicast and multicast) using separate instances
distinguished by instance ID ranges.
The patch implements Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes
(RFC 4191) for RAdv protocol, allowing to announce router preference and
more specific routes in router advertisements. Routes can be exported to
RAdv like to regular routing protocols.
Some cleanups, bugfixes and other changes done by Ondrej Zajicek.
The patch implements BGP Administrative Shutdown Communication (RFC 8203)
allowing BGP operators to pass messages related to BGP session
administrative shutdown/restart. It handles both transmit and receive of
shutdown messages. Messages are logged and may be displayed by show
protocol all command.
Thanks to Job Snijders for the basic patch.
Add basic VRF (virtual routing and forwarding) support. Protocols can be
associated with VRFs, such protocols will be restricted to interfaces
assigned to the VRF (as reported by Linux kernel) and will use sockets
bound to the VRF. E.g., different multihop BGP instances can use diffent
kernel routing tables to handle BGP TCP connections.
The VRF support is preliminary, currently there are several limitations:
- Recent Linux kernels (4.11) do not handle correctly sockets bound
to interaces that are part of VRF, so most protocols other than multihop
BGP do not work. This will be fixed by future kernel versions.
- Neighbor cache ignores VRFs. Breaks config with the same prefix on
local interfaces in different VRFs. Not much problem as single hop
protocols do not work anyways.
- Olock code ignores VRFs. Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the
same IP address in different VRFs.
- Incoming BGP connections are not dispatched according to VRFs.
Breaks config with multiple BGP peers with the same IP address in
different VRFs. Perhaps we would need some kernel API to read VRF of
incoming connection? Or probably use multiple listening sockets in
int-new branch.
- We should handle master VRF interface up/down events and perhaps
disable associated protocols when VRF goes down. Or at least disable
associated interfaces.
- Also we should check if the master iface is really VRF iface and
not some other kind of master iface.
- BFD session request dispatch should be aware of VRFs.
- Perhaps kernel protocol should read default kernel table ID from VRF
iface so it is not necessary to configure it.
- Perhaps we should have per-VRF default table.
Keep a cache of all the relevant prefixes we send out. When a prefix
appears, insert it into the cache. If it dies, keep it there for a
while, marked as dead.
Send out the dead prefixes with zero lifetime.
Adapt the naming conventions to be a bit closer to the other protocols.
proto_radv -> radv_proto
struct radv_proto *ra -> struct radv_proto *p
struct proto *p -> struct proto *P

Add proper support for per-nexthop onlink flag in routes to handle next
hop addresses that are not covered by interface IP ranges. Supported by
kernel and static protocols.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for the idea.
The subtlv parsing code was doing byte-based arithmetic with non-void pointers,
causing it to read beyond the end of the packet.
