Old AS path maching supposes thath AS number appears
only once in AS path, but that is not true. It also
contains some bugs related to AS path sets.
New code does not use any assumptions about semantic
structure of AS path. It is asymptotically slower than
the old code, but on real paths it is not significant.
It also allows '?' for matching one arbitrary AS number.
- 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.
Please try compiling your code with --enable-warnings to see them. (The
unused parameter warnings are usually bogus, the unused variable ones
are very useful, but gcc is unable to control them separately.)
