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.

RFC6126bis formally introduces sub-TLVs to the Babel protocol, including
mandatory sub-TLVs. This adds support for parsing sub-TLVs to the Babel
protocol and skips TLVs that contain mandatory sub-TLVs, as per the spec.
For details, see section 4.4 of
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-babel-rfc6126bis-02
Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> for the patch.
Previously, the Babel protocol would never use prefix compression on outgoing
updates (but would parse it on incoming ones). This adds compression of IPv6
addresses of outgoing updates.
The compression only works to the extent that the FIB is walked in lexicographic
order; i.e. a prefix is only compressed if it shares bytes with the previous
prefix in the same packet.
Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> for the patch.
This adds support for dual-stack v4/v6 operation to the Babel protocol.
Routing messages will be exchanged over IPv6, but IPv4 routes can be
carried in the messages being exchanged. This matches how the reference
Babel implementation (babeld) works.
The nexthop address for v4 can be configured per interface, and will
default to the first available IPv4 address on the given interface. For
symmetry, a configuration option to configure the IPv6 nexthop address
is also added.
Thanks to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> for the patch.
Covers IPv4/VPNv4 routes with IPv6 next hop (RFC 5549), IPv6 routes with
IPv4 next hop (RFC 4798) and VPNv6 routes with IPv4 next hop (RFC 4659).
Unfortunately it also makes next hop hooks more messy.
Each BGP channel now could have two IGP tables, one for IPv4 next hops,
the other for IPv6 next hops.
Basic support for SAFI 4 and 128 (MPLS labeled IP and VPN) for IPv4 and
IPv6. Should work for route reflector, but does not properly handle
originating routes with next hop self.
Based on patches from Jan Matejka.
When a BGP session with ADD_PATH is restarted and the neighbor do not
announce ADD_PATH capability during reconnect, the accept_ra_types is
still set to RA_ANY.
Thanks to Lennert Buytenhek for the bugreport
The patch fixes several bugs introduced in previous changes, simplifies
the protocol by handing routes uniformly, introduces asynchronous route
processing to avoid issues with separate notifications for each next-hop
in ECMP routes, and makes reconfiguration faster by avoiding quadratic
complexity.
During reconfiguration, old and new filter expressions in static routes
are compared using i_same() function. When filter expressions contain
function calls, it is necessary that old filter expressions are the
second argument in i_same(), as it is internally modified by i_same().
Otherwise pointers to old (and freed) data appear in the config
structure.
Thanks to Lennert Buytenhek for tracking and reporting the bug.
