1b55b1a364 Spelling fixes.
Added skeleton for subchapters on all the protocols. Each subchapter should
contain:

	Introduction (brief intro to the protocol, where should it be used,
		references to the relevant standards)
	Configuration
	Attributes
	Example

Added a more detailed description of RIP attributes.

9b24a6fb94 Text version generated from lynx looks as ugly as hell, sgml is much better

ce1da96ee7 Added commands show route protocol <p>' and show route import <p>' which
show the routing table as exported to the protocol given resp. as returned
from its import control hook.

To get handling of filtered extended attributes right (even in the old
`show route where <filter>' command), the get_route_info hook gets an
attribute list and all protocol specific rte attributes are contained
there as temporary ones. Updated RIP to do that.

Added ea_append() which joins two ea_list's.

b177724896 Connected the `doc' subtree to global makefiles.
All documentation is built in obj/doc (resp. doc/ if you do a stand-alone build).

Use `make docs' to make the whole documentation or `make userdocs' resp.
`make progdocs' for user manual resp. developer's guide.

3991d84e8f Changed initialization of protocol list -- now we call proto_build() instead
of calling the protocols manually.

Implemented printing of dynamic attributes in `show route all'.

Each protocol can now register its own attribute class (protocol->attr_class,
set to EAP_xxx) and also a callback for naming and formatting of attributes.
The callback can return one of the following results:

	GA_UNKNOWN	Attribute not recognized.
	GA_NAME		Attribute name recognized and put to the buffer,
			generic code should format the value.
	GA_FULL		Both attribute name and value put to the buffer.

Please update protocols generating dynamic attributes to provide
the attr_class and formatting hook.

f14a4becbe Reworked proto lists -- each proto is now in two lists: the global one
(proto_list) and per-type one (original lists). A lot of things simplified.

bf8558bc9c Converted shutdown to a kind of reconfiguration, it's no more handled
as a exception in protocol state machines. Introduced a `shutdown'
CLI command. Killed few reconfiguration bugs.

7de45ba4a0 Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.
The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them
there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c.
The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though.

Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)

0e02abfd57 From now we support multiple tables. The master_table variable is
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional
argument telling which table should they modify.

Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table
has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the
rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling
proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will
be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol.

The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also
all their connections.

36bbfc704c Updated filters: they now actually see IP/pxlen of net being filtered,
gateway, and who told us, so they can do usefull jobs from now on.

5056c559c4 Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the final
version:

	EXPORT <filter-spec>	for outbound routes (i.e., those announced
				by BIRD to the rest of the world).
	IMPORT <filter-spec>	for inbound routes (i.e., those imported
				by BIRD from the rest of the world).

where <filter-spec> is one of:

	ALL			pass all routes
	NONE			drop all routes
	FILTER <name>		use named filter
	FILTER { <filter> }	use explicitly defined filter

For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes
the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous
configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for
a bird.conf example :)).

7f400d1c62 After today's lengthy discussions about filter syntax, let's clean up
whitespace/semicolon rules for whole config file:

   o  All non-zero amounts of whitespace are equivalent to single space
      (aka `all the whitespace has been born equal' ;-)).
   o  Comments count as whitespace.
   o  Whitespace has no syntactic signifance (it can only separate lexical
      elements).
   o  Consequence: line ends are no longer treated as `;'s.
   o  Every declaration must be terminated by an explicit `;' unless
      or by a group enclosed in `{' and `}'.
1999-03-29 19:04:14 +00:00
Martin Mares
7e5f5ffdda Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.
o  Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify
     the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
  o  Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and
     interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated
     by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that
     it will be possible to feed different device routes to different
     routing tables once multiple tables get supported).

See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
1999-03-26 21:44:38 +00:00

529c414953 Allow input and output filters (only accept/reject style as we didn't define
modifying filters yet) to be attached to protocol instances.

2d14045224 Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible.
The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module
and OS dependent submodules:

  -  krt.c (the generic part)
  -  krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling)
  -  krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning)
  -  krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes)

krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily
system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc),
Netlink substitues all three modules.

We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel
interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also
asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change;
not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these
primitive operations.
