2008-10-26Update of a documentation - new options for AS4, MD5 auth and route reflection.Ondrej Zajicek
2005-03-15Added new parametr 'rx buffer <num>'. BIRD is able to receiveOndrej Filip
very large packets (if configured).
2005-02-20Since now I can also use 'dead interval', not just 'dead counter'.Ondrej Filip

2004-07-16Typo.Ondrej Filip
2004-07-14Multiple OSPF areas can be attached.Ondrej Filip
Origination of summary LSA works. Routing table calculation works. Virtual links works. Well, I hope, OSPF is fully compatible with RFC2328!!!!
2000-09-02More examples.Ondrej Filip

2000-05-30Tried to change garbagetime -> garbage time to be more consistent.Pavel Machek
2000-05-09New example config.Martin Mares
2000-03-07Added configuration of default protocol debugging flags.Martin Mares
1999-12-08Put rip options into config file.Pavel Machek
1999-12-06Logging is now configurable. You can define multiple log outputs (to bothMartin Mares
files and syslog) and assign lists of message categories to each of them.
1999-08-03Implemented a Table-to-Table protocol a.k.a The Pipe.Martin Mares
1999-08-03Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.Martin Mares
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. :)
1999-05-17From now we support multiple tables. The master_table variable isMartin Mares
definitely gone. Both rte_update() and rte_discard() have an additional argument telling which table should they modify. Also, rte_update() no longer walks the whole protocol list -- each table has a list of all protocols connected to this table and having the rt_notify hook set. Each protocol can also freely decide (by calling proto_add_announce_hook) to connect to any other table, but it will be probably used only by the table-to-table protocol. The default debugging dumps now include all routing tables and also all their connections.
1999-04-19Updated filters: they now actually see IP/pxlen of net being filtered,Pavel Machek
gateway, and who told us, so they can do usefull jobs from now on.
1999-04-05Changed syntax of attaching filters to protocols to hopefully the finalMartin Mares
version: EXPORT <filter-spec> for outbound routes (i.e., those announced by BIRD to the rest of the world). IMPORT <filter-spec> for inbound routes (i.e., those imported by BIRD from the rest of the world). where <filter-spec> is one of: ALL pass all routes NONE drop all routes FILTER <name> use named filter FILTER { <filter> } use explicitly defined filter For all protocols, the default is IMPORT ALL, EXPORT NONE. This includes the kernel protocol, so that you need to add EXPORT ALL to get the previous configuration of kernel syncer (as usually, see doc/bird.conf.example for a bird.conf example :)).
1999-03-29After today's lengthy discussions about filter syntax, let's clean upMartin Mares
whitespace/semicolon rules for whole config file: o All non-zero amounts of whitespace are equivalent to single space (aka `all the whitespace has been born equal' ;-)). o Comments count as whitespace. o Whitespace has no syntactic signifance (it can only separate lexical elements). o Consequence: line ends are no longer treated as `;'s. o Every declaration must be terminated by an explicit `;' unless or by a group enclosed in `{' and `}'.
1999-03-26Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.Martin Mares
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.
1999-03-17Allow input and output filters (only accept/reject style as we didn't defineMartin Mares
modifying filters yet) to be attached to protocol instances.
1999-03-03Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible.Martin Mares
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.
1999-02-13Synced example config with new options.Martin Mares
1999-01-15Added bird.conf to .cvsignore and created an example configuration file.Martin Mares
If you want to run bird now, just copy doc/bird.conf.example as bird.conf and edit it to suit your needs.
