The patch adds support for channels, structures connecting protocols and
tables and handling most interactions between them. The documentation is
missing yet.
Now the order is:
Up -> iface, addr, neigh
Down -> neigh, addr, iface
It fixes the case when an iface appears, related static routes are
activated and exported to OSPF before the iface notification and
therefore forwarding addresses are not encoded in generated external
LSAs.
Router ID could be automatically determined based of subset of
ifaces/addresses specified by 'router id from' option. The patch also
does some minor changes related to router ID reconfiguration.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for most of the work.
When device protocol goes down, interfaces should be flushed
asynchronously (in the same way like routes from protocols are flushed),
when protocol goes to DOWN/HUNGRY.
This fixes the problem with static routes staying in kernel routing
table after BIRD shutdown.
Allows to add more interface patterns to one common 'options'
section like:
interface "eth3", "eth4" { options common to eth3 and eth4 };
Also removes undocumented and unnecessary ability to specify
more interface patterns with different 'options' sections:
interface "eth3" { options ... }, "eth4" { options ... };
Please try compiling your code with --enable-warnings to see them. (The
unused parameter warnings are usually bogus, the unused variable ones
are very useful, but gcc is unable to control them separately.)
address, not per interface (hence it's ifa->flags & IA_UNNUMBERED) and
should be set reliably. IF_MULTIACCESS should be fixed now, but it isn't
wise to rely on it on interfaces configured with /30 prefix.
but the core routines are there and seem to be working.
o lib/ipv6.[ch] written
o Lexical analyser recognizes IPv6 addresses and when in IPv6
mode, treats pure IPv4 addresses as router IDs.
o Router ID must be configured manually on IPv6 systems.
o Added SCOPE_ORGANIZATION for org-scoped IPv6 multicasts.
o Fixed few places where ipa_(hton|ntoh) was called as a function
returning converted address.
o Parsing of interface patterns moved to generic code,
introduced this_ipatt which works similarly to this_iface.
o Interface patterns now support selection by both interface
names and primary IP addresses.
o Proto `direct' updated.
o RIP updated as well, it also seems the memory corruption
bug there is gone.
