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.
1999-03-01Use traditional Unix route/iface interface only when CONFIG_NETLINKMartin Mares
is not defined. Also moved declarations of Unix iface logic to krt.h.
1999-02-13When shutting down, remove all routes (except for RTS_INHERIT and RTS_DEVICEMartin Mares
routes) from kernel routing tables unless the "persist" switch is set.
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.
1998-12-06Kernel syncer is now configurable. It will probably need some moreMartin Mares
options, but at least basic tuning is possible now.
1998-10-18Since almost every UNIX system requires different techniques for readingMartin Mares
the kernel routing table as opposed to modifying it which is approximately the same on non-netlink systems, I've split the kernel routing table routines to read and write parts. To be implemented later ;-)
1998-10-18Split protocol init to building of protocol list and real protocol init.Martin Mares
Added kernel route table syncer skeleton.
1998-05-26Implemented scanning of network interfaces. Mostly very ugly code due toMartin Mares
terrible kernel interface (SIOGIFCONF and friends).
1998-05-24Implemented timers. Using bird_clock_t for absolute time from now...Martin Mares
1998-05-15The library is now glued together from generic and OS-dependent partsMartin Mares
by the `mergedirs' script. Few more IP address manipulation functions and some fixes.
