Martin Mares 67be5b23cd When rte_update is called for an identical route, don't announce anything.
Please implement the rte_same hook in your protocols. It should just
compare your metrics stored directly in rte, the rest is done by the core.

Core
~~~~
- config: when parsing prefix, check zero bits
- static: check validity of route destination?
- static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes?
- krt: rescan interfaces when route addition fails?
- tagging of external routes?
- configure: IPv6 on glibc 2.0?
- Makefile: install target?
- forgetting device routes???
- kernel syncer doesn't support reconfiguration
- filter-defined internal attributes
- netlink: realms
- bgp: wait on restart
Commands
~~~~~~~~
- showing of routing table as seen by given protocol
Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- write doctool
- write documentation :|
Globals
~~~~~~~
- right usage of DBG vs. debug
- kill preconfigs?
- check dump functions
- cleanup debugging calls
- logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
- check incoming packets and log errors!!
- check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma
- check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
- replace all NUM, IPA and expr tokens by constant filter expressions
- try compiling with -Wunused
- does everybody test return value of sk_open?
- doc: references to RFC's we did follow
- protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands
- protocols: implement reconfigure hook
- protocols: use locking
- check use of system includes and sprintf()
Various ideas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
- config: executable config files
- client: access control
- io: use poll if available
- IPv6 router advertisements
- real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
- fake multipath (even less simple)
- route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
- aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
- aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
- generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
- generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
- look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
OSPF
~~~~
- refuse running on non-multicast devices
- importing of device routes for networks where we don't run OSPF
- check incoming packets using neighbor cache
- RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
- automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
- RFC1587 NSSA areas
- RFC2370 opaque LSA's
- respect interface MTU and try not to create larger packets unless unavoidable
