From 2d14045224f2233aed386eddf155d10a81892c3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Mares Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 19:49:56 +0000 Subject: Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible. 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. --- doc/bird.conf.example | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/bird.conf.example b/doc/bird.conf.example index 15fd844..9f5907d 100644 --- a/doc/bird.conf.example +++ b/doc/bird.conf.example @@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ protocol kernel { persist # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown scan time 10 # Scan kernel tables every 10 seconds route scan time 20 # But routes only every 20 seconds +# async off # Netlink: Disable asynchronous events } protocol static { -- cgit v1.2.3
