Implemented eval command can be used to evaluate expressions.
The patch also documents echo command and allows to use log classes
instead of integer as a mask for echo.
When route was propagated to another rtable through a pipe and then the
pipe was reconfigured softly in such a way that any subsequent route
updates are filtered, then the source protocol shutdown didn't clean up
the route in the second rtable which caused stale routes and potential
crashes.
Implements support for IPv6 traffic class, sets higher priority for OSPF
and RIP outgoing packets by default and allows to configure ToS/DS/TClass
IP header field and the local priority of outgoing packets.
Temporary dummy routes created by a kernel protocol during routing table
scan get mixed with real routes propagated from another kernel protocol
through a pipe.
The RAdv protocol could be configured to change its behavior based on
availability of routes, e.g., do not announce router lifetime when a
default route is not available.
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.
Several new configure command variants:
configure undo - undo last reconfiguration
configure timeout - configure with scheduled undo if not confirmed in timeout
configure confirm - confirm last configuration
configure check - just parse and validate config file
When 'import keep rejected' protocol option is activated, routes
rejected by the import filter are kept in the routing table, but they
are hidden and not propagated to other protocols. It is possible to
examine them using 'show route rejected'.
When a protocol went down, all its routes were flushed in one step, that
may block BIRD for too much time. The patch fixes that by limiting
maximum number of routes flushed in one step.
- ROA tables, which are used as a basic part for RPKI.
- Commands for examining and modifying ROA tables.
- Filter operators based on ROA tables consistent with RFC 6483.
The nest-protocol interaction is changed to better handle multitable
protocols. Multitable protocols now declare that by 'multitable' field,
which tells nest that a protocol handles things related to proto-rtable
interaction (table locking, announce hook adding, reconfiguration of
filters) itself.
Filters and stats are moved to announce hooks, a protocol could have
different filters and stats to different tables.
The patch is based on one from Alexander V. Chernikov, thanks.
