2000-06-21Check broadcast address sanity before believing it.Martin Mares
2000-06-18Fix numbering of routing tables in IPv6 version.Martin Mares
2000-06-04Removed lots of trailing newlines in log messages.Martin Mares
Please note that the only calls which don't add newlines automatically (i.e., don't print a full line of output) are debug() and DBG().
2000-06-01Updated for new scope handling.Martin Mares
Also, provide proper address scopes in struct ifa.
2000-05-11Multicast problems should be gone, although the fix is Linux only and we'llMartin Mares
need to figure out something better when working on new ports.
2000-05-11If a broadcast address is missing, go fake one.Martin Mares
2000-05-08Removed the `async' switch which was used for debugging only anyway.Martin Mares
Don't moan when netlink reports lost packets.
2000-05-08Incoming buffer must be at least 8KB long.Martin Mares
2000-05-06IPv6 support compiles on both glibc 2.0 and 2.1.Martin Mares
2000-05-04#ifdef out lots of debugging information.Martin Mares
The long resource/routing table dump printed upon startup is gone now and if you wish to see it, just send bird SIGUSR1 or use the `debug' commands.
2000-05-04Removed a lot of unused variables.Martin Mares
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.)
2000-04-21IPv6 compiles with glibc 2.1.Martin Mares
2000-04-01Include "lib/string.h" instead of <string.h>. It should give us bzero()Martin Mares
and other non-portable functions on all systems.
2000-03-12Cleaned up debugging in kernel syncer. Netlink has still LOCAL_DEBUGMartin Mares
turned on, but after some testing I'll gag it.
2000-03-01ipa_opposite hack is not applicable in IPv6.Martin Mares
2000-03-01Rewrote interface type detection logic. The `unnumbered' flag is now perMartin Mares
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.
2000-01-18Kernel route syncer now supports dynamic reconfiguration. Also it doesn'tMartin Mares
depend on the startup counter hack now and uses a zero-time timer instead to make itself scheduled after normal protocol startup.
2000-01-17Removed point-to-point tunnel hack as it breaks ordinary PtP interfaces.Martin Mares
I'll find a better solution soon.
2000-01-17Reconfiguration for device protocol.Martin Mares
1999-12-16Minor cleanups.Martin Mares
1999-12-16Better order of includes.Martin Mares
set_inaddr() moved to sysio.h.
1999-12-16Tried to clean up multicast handling. Now we don't try to guessMartin Mares
multicast abilities depending on definedness of symbols and use hard-wired system-dependent configuration defines instead. Please test whereever you can.
1999-12-08Temporary work-arounds for multicast problems. Needs further investigation.Martin Mares
1999-11-04Renamed attr->attrs to attr->eattrs.Martin Mares
1999-08-03Taught Netlink how to behave in IPv6 world.Martin Mares
1999-08-03Basic support for IPv6. The system-dependent part doesn't work yet,Martin Mares
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.
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. :)
1999-05-17Kill remaining master_table relics in KRT code.Martin Mares
Make all protocols pass routing table to rte_update and rte_discard.
1999-05-07Netlink support for secondary interface addresses.Martin Mares
1999-05-06I rewrote the interface handling code, so that it supports multipleMartin Mares
addresses per interface (needed for example for IPv6 support). Visible changes: o struct iface now contains a list of all interface addresses (represented by struct ifa), iface->addr points to the primary address (if any). o Interface has IF_UP set iff it's up and it has a primary address. o IF_UP is now independent on IF_IGNORED (i.e., you need to test IF_IGNORED in the protocols; I've added this, but please check). o The if_notify_change hook has been simplified (only one interface pointer etc.). o Introduced a ifa_notify_change hook. (For now, only the Direct protocol does use it -- it's wise to just listen to device routes in all other protocols.) o Removed IF_CHANGE_FLAGS notifier flag (it was meaningless anyway). o Updated all the code except netlink (I'll look at it tomorrow) to match the new semantics (please look at your code to ensure I did it right). Things to fix: o Netlink. o Make krt-iface interpret "eth0:1"-type aliases as secondary addresses.
1999-04-12Removed TOS support. This simplifies many things a lot.Martin Mares
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.
1999-03-29Remember that we can run device syncer without kernel syncerMartin Mares
and vice versa now.
1999-03-27Cleaned up system configuration files -- removed few obsolete parameters,Martin Mares
documented the remaining ones (sysdep/cf/README). Available configurations: o linux-20: Old Linux interface via /proc/net/route (selected by default on pre-2.1 kernels). o linux-21: Old Linux interface, but device routes handled by the kernel (selected by default for 2.1 and newer kernels). o linux-22: Linux with Netlink (I play with it a lot yet, so it isn't a default). o linux-ipv6: Prototype config for IPv6 on Linux. Not functional yet.
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.
1999-03-24Removed our declaration of RTPROT_BIRD since Alexey has assignedMartin Mares
us a real protocol number in 2.2.4 kernel.
1999-03-04Fixed processing of !krt_capable() routes. Converted device route decisionsMartin Mares
to the krt_capable mechanism as well.
1999-03-04KRT: Implemented asynchronous route / interface state notificationsMartin Mares
(via Netlink). Tweaked kernel synchronization rules a bit. Discovered locking bug in kernel Netlink :-) Future plans: Hunt all the bugs and solve all the FIXME's.
1999-03-04Although there are still heaps of FIXME's, Netlink works.Martin Mares
To build BIRD with Netlink support, just configure it with ./configure --with-sysconfig=linux-21 After it will be tested well enough, I'll probably make it a default for 2.2 kernels (and rename it to linux-22 :)).
1999-03-04Converted some mb_alloc/bzero pairs to mb_allocz.Martin Mares
1999-03-03Netlink scans routes...Martin Mares
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.
1999-03-02Netlink module supports interface scan on startup. Working on more.Martin Mares
1999-03-01Implemented netlink protocol parsing functions. More to come tomorrow.Martin Mares
1999-03-01Added skeletal version of Linux netlink interface. It doesn't work yet,Martin Mares
but the framework is there and I'll try finish it soon.
1999-03-01Use traditional Unix route/iface interface only when CONFIG_NETLINKMartin Mares
is not defined. Also moved declarations of Unix iface logic to krt.h.
1999-02-13Squashed one bug in timing of route scans.Martin Mares
1999-02-05Synced Linux sysdeps to new interface.Martin Mares
1998-12-20die() -> bug() where appropriate.Martin Mares
1998-12-08Hopefully finished kernel syncer (krt) rewrite:Martin Mares
o Interface syncing is now a part of krt and it can have configurable parameters. Actually, the only one is scan rate now :) o Kernel routing table syncing is now synchronized with interface syncing (we need the most recent version of the interface list to prevent lots of routes to non-existent destinations from appearing). Instead of its own timer, we just check if it's route scan time after each iface list scan. o Syncing of device routes implemented. o CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES should control syncing of automatic device routes. o Rewrote krt_remove_route() to really remove routes :) o Better diagnostics. o Fixed a couple of bugs.
