We need to flush learned external LSAs a bit later than other LSAs (after
first feed after end of the graceful restart) to avoid flap of external
routes.
Instead of separate scans for IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS, do one AF_UNSPEC scan.
This also avoids kernel issue when kernel reported IPv4 and IPv6 routes
during MPLS scan if MPLS is not active.
If BGP has too many data to send and BIRD is slower than the link, TX is
always possible until all data is sent. This patch limits maximum number
of generated BGP messages in one iteration of TX hook.
Implement OSPFv2 (RFC 3623) and OSPFv3 (RFC 5187) graceful restart,
for both restarting and helper sides. Graceful restart is initiated
by 'graceful down' command.
When 'graceful down' command is entered, protocols are shut down
with regard to graceful restart. Namely Kernel protocol does
not remove routes and BGP protocol does not send notification,
just closes the connection.
Useful for implementation of agents implementing the SNMP-BGP MIB, which
requires the local AS of a session to be specified.
Thanks to Jan-Philipp Litza for the patch.
Support for dynamically spawning BGP protocols for incoming connections.
Use 'neighbor range' to specify range of valid neighbor addresses, then
incoming connections from these addresses spawn new BGP instances.
When BGP connection is opened, it may happen that rx hook (with remote
OPEN) is called before tx hook (for local OPEN). Therefore, we need to do
internal changes (like setting local_caps) synchronously with OPENSENT
transition and we need to ensure that OPEN is sent before KEEPALIVE.
Allow to specify just 'internal' or 'external' for remote neighbor
instead of specific ASN. In the second case that means BGP peers with
any non-local ASNs are accepted.
The temporary atttributes are no longer removed by ea_do_prune(), but
they are undefined by store_tmp_attrs() protocol hooks. This fixes
several bugs where temporary attributes were removed when they should
not or not removed when they should be. The flag EAF_TEMP is no longer
needed and was removed.
Update all protocol make_tmp_attrs() / store_tmp_attrs() hooks to use
helper functions and to handle unset attributes properly.
Also fix some related bugs like improper handling of empty eattr list.
Keep track of whether OSPF tmpattrs are actually defined for given route
(using flags in rte->pflags). That makes them behave more like real
eattrs so a protocol can define just a subset of them or they can be
undefined by filters.
Do not set ospf_metric2 for other than type 2 external OSPF routes and do
not set ospf_tag for non-external OSPF routes. That also fixes a bug
where internal/inter-area route propagated from one OSPF instance to
another is initiated with infinity ospf_metric2.
Thanks to Yaroslav Dronskii for the bugreport.
Route flags are mosty internal state of rtable, they are not significant
to whether a route has changed. With the old code, all routes received as
a part of enhanced route refresh are always re-announced to other peers
due to change in REF_STALE.
When area is reconfigured to a different type, we need to flush LSAs as
they may not be valid (e.g. NSSA-LSA for non-NSSA area). Also, when we
have have just one OSPF area and that changes type, we could restart OSPF
as there is no state to keep anyway. That solves issue with different
handling of external routes exported to OSPF based of main area type.
External LSAs originated by OSPF routers with VPN-PE behavior enabled are
marked by DN flag and they are ignored by other OSPF routers with VPN-PE
enabled.
One of previous workarounds for phantom route avoidance breaks export
counters by expanding sending of spurious withdraws, which are send when
we are not sure whether we have advertised that routes in the past.
If not, then export counter is decreased, but it was not increased
before, so it overflows under zero.
The patch fixes that by sendung spurious withdraws, but not counting them
on export counter. That may lead to error in the other direction, but that
happens only as a race condition (i.e., in normal operation filters
return proper values about old route export state).
Direct acknowledgements should be send as unicast to a corresponding
neighbor. Only delayed acks should be send as multicast to all/designated
routers.
Master may free last DBDES packet immediately. Slave must wait dead
interval before freeing last DBDES packet and then reject duplicate
DBDES packets with SeqNumberMismatch.
