1999-04-05Routing table core changes to support full route filtering:Martin Mares
o Introduced rte_cow() which should be used for copying on write the rte's in filters. Each rte now carries a flag saying whether it's a real route (possessing table linkage and other insignia) or a local copy. This function can be expected to be fast since its fast-path is inlined. o Introduced rte_update_pool which is a linear memory pool used for all temporary data during rte_update. You should not reference it directly -- instead use a pool pointer passed to all related functions. o Split rte_update to three functions: rte_update The front end: handles all checking, inbound filtering and calls rte_recalculate() for the final version of the route. rte_recalculate Update the table according to already filtered route. rte_announce Announce routing table changes to all protocols, passing them through export filters and so on. The interface has _not_ changed -- still call rte_update() and it will do the rest for you automagically. o Use new filtering semantics to be explained in a separate mail.
1999-04-03More changes to the kernel syncer.Martin Mares
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.
1999-03-26Allow different instances of the same protocol with identical preferences.Martin Mares
1999-03-17rte_update: Check sanity of incoming entries. Throw out (and log) all routesMartin Mares
to bogus prefixes and non-local routes to host scope addresses.
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.
1999-03-03EFence helped to find using of already free rte's in rt_prune().Martin Mares
1999-02-13Implemented garbage collection of routing tables to delete orphaned networkMartin Mares
nodes having no routes attached. Such cleanup must be done from event handler since most functions manipulating the routing tables expect network entries won't disappear from under their hands and it's also probably faster when done asynchronously.
1999-02-13Moved sanity check of protocol state during annoucements to rte_announce.Martin Mares
1999-02-13Implemented real cleanup and pruning of routing table on protocol shutdown.Martin Mares
1999-02-11struct proto again contains instance name (a copy of proto->cf->name).Martin Mares
1999-02-05Implemented new configuration/reconfiguration interface and defined protocolMartin Mares
state machines. Full explanation will follow soon.
1998-12-20die() -> bug() where appropriate.Martin Mares
1998-12-20When printing a routing table, fib_check() it.Martin Mares
1998-12-07Minor rte/rta interface changes:Martin Mares
o rte can now contain a pointer to both cached and uncached rta. Protocols which don't need their own attribute caching can now just fill-in a rta, link it to rte without any calls to attribute cache and call rte_update() which will replace rte->attrs by a cached copy. o In order to support this, one of previously pad bytes in struct rta now holds new attribute flags (RTAF_CACHED). If you call rte_update() with uncached rta, you _must_ clear these flags. In other cases rta_lookup() sets it appropriately. o Added rte_free() which is useful when you construct a rte and then the circumstances change and you decide not to use it for an update. (Needed for temporary rte's in kernel syncer...)
1998-10-26Previous fix was wrong.Martin Mares
1998-10-26rte_update: Doesn't loop forever when multiple routes point to the sameMartin Mares
destination.
1998-10-20Beware the NULL route, my son... The bugs that bite, the BIRDs that crash :-)Martin Mares
1998-10-20Added pointer to network to RTE. The complications with passing NET separatelyMartin Mares
aren't worth 4 bytes per RTE. rte_discard and rte_dump don't need net * as parameter.
1998-10-19o FIB flags now available for FIB users.Martin Mares
o struct network: FIB flags used for kernel syncing. o struct network: `next' field deleted (historical relic).
1998-10-18After contemplating about RIP route timeouts for a long time, I've implementedMartin Mares
protocol callbacks for route insertion and deletion from the central table. RIP should maintain its own per-protocol queue of existing routes, scan it periodically and call rte_discard() for routes that have timed out.
1998-10-18Implemented `route last modified' time.Martin Mares
1998-10-17Each protocol now hears even its own routes and needs to make its ownMartin Mares
loop detection. This is needed since both RIP and OSPF handle multiple neighbors and they need to redistribute routes learned from each neighbor to the remaining ones.
1998-10-17Solve chicken-and-egg problems with protocol startup. We now queue all inactiveMartin Mares
protocols and don't send route/interface updates to them and when they come up, we resend the whole route/interface tables privately. Removed the "scan interface list after protocol start" work-around.
1998-08-31Route update hook now gets network prefix as well as updatedMartin Mares
route attributes.
1998-06-17Use '%I' instead of dirty address printing hacks.Martin Mares
1998-06-04Handle route deletion without segfaults. A bit more debug dumps.Martin Mares
1998-06-03Protocol hooks. All of them may be NULL.Martin Mares
1998-05-24Added debug dump function, but it's still empty :(Martin Mares
1998-05-20Added routing table and routing attribute code.Martin Mares
1998-05-15Parts of routing table code. Data structure declarations should beMartin Mares
complete now.
