Core ~~~~ - socket open failure should not be fatal - &&,||: priorities - filters: function for BGP path length - static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes? Globals ~~~~~~~ - right usage of DBG vs. debug - logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels - check incoming packets and log errors!! - check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma - check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's. - try compiling with -Wunused - does everybody test return value of sk_open? - protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands - protocols: implement reconfigure hook - protocols: use locking - check use of system includes and sprintf() Various ideas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - client: Ctrl-R eats one more enter - bgp: timing of updates? - netlink: realms - netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered? - config: executable config files - filters: user defined attributes? - client: access control - io: use poll if available - real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :() - fake multipath (even less simple) - route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms] - aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519] - aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes - generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?) - generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?) - look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing) - cli: show tables? OSPF ~~~~ - check incoming packets using neighbor cache - RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm - automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403) - RFC3101 NSSA areas - RFC2370 opaque LSA's - Limit export rate of external LSAs (like Gated does) - Bugfix in link state retransmission list (aging) - Graceful OSPF restart - RFC3623
