BFD session options are configured per interface in BFD protocol. This
patch allows to specify them also per-request in protocols requesting
sessions (currently limited to BGP).
This is optional check described in RFC 4271. Although this can be also
done by filters, it is widely implemented option in BGP implementations.
Thanks to Eugene Bogomazov for the original patch.
The patch implements optional internal export table to a channel and
hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-Out. When enabled, all
exported (post-filtered) routes are stored there. An export table can be
examined using e.g. 'show route export table bgp1.ipv4'.
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.
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.
Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' options to have boolean values
(enabled / disabled) and also values 'ibgp'/ 'ebgp' to restrict it to
routes received from IBGP / EBGP. This allows to have it enabled by
default in some cases, matches features of other implementations, and
allows to handle some strange cases like EBGP border router with 'next
hop self' also doing IBGP route reflecting.
Change default of 'next hop keep' to enabled for route servers, and
'ibgp' for route reflectors.
Update documentation for these options.
The patch implements optional internal import table to a channel and
hooks it to BGP so it can be used as Adj-RIB-In. When enabled, all
received (pre-filtered) routes are stored there and import filters can
be re-evaluated without explicit route refresh. An import table can be
examined using e.g. 'show route import table bgp1.ipv4'.
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.
Add support for large communities (draft-ietf-idr-large-community),
96bit alternative to RFC 1997 communities.
Thanks to Matt Griswold for the original patch.
Add code for manipulation with TCP-MD5 keys in the IPsec SA/SP database
at FreeBSD systems. Now, BGP MD5 authentication (RFC 2385) keys are
handled automatically on both Linux and FreeBSD.
Based on patches from Pavel Tvrdik.
The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
Permit specifying neighbor address, AS number and port independently.
Add 'interface' parameter for specifying interface for link-local
sessions independently.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the original patch.
This is more consistent with common usage and also with the behavior of
other implementations (Cisco, Juniper).
Also changes the default for gw mode to be based solely on
direct/multihop.
