Martin Mares d272fe22dd Separated `official protocol names' used in status dumps from name templates
used for automatic generation of instance names.

	protocol->name is the official name
	protocol->template is the name template (usually "name%d"),
		should be all lowercase.

Updated all protocols to define the templates, checked that their configuration
grammar includes proto_name which generates the name and interns it in the
symbol table.

Martin Mares 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. :)

Martin Mares c10421d3d4 More changes to the kernel syncer.
o  Now compatible with filtering.
o  Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS
   systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct).
o  Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects
   the ones the kernel really uses for forwarding packets.
o  Better treatment of CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES ports.
o  Lots of internal changes.

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.

Martin Mares 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.

Martin Mares 10d807d000 Synced kernel interface to new interface. 1999-02-05 21:38:50 +00:00
Martin Mares 980ffedbb0 Kernel syncer is now configurable. It will probably need some more
options, but at least basic tuning is possible now.
