Check bgp_path.len without some AS

[Xavier Trilla]

This is exactly what I've been trying to do, most probably I had something wrong with the syntax and that's why it was not working, I'll test it this week.

Thanks!

Hi,

For some route selection configurations I need to check the bgp_path.len without some AS numbers.

I tried something like:

bgp_path.delete(AS_1);
bgp_path.delete(AS_2);

if bgp_path.len < N then ...

But doing this I modify permanently the AS path.

I've tried using a temp variable, but looks like bird doesn't allow to create bgppath "variables".

Hi

Although approach suggested by Alexander Zubkov is applicable,
i would note that BIRD allows bgppath variables, see:

filter testfilter
bgppath pp;
{
 pp = bgp_path;
 pp = prepend(pp, 65500);
 pp = prepend(pp, 65500);
 print pp, " ", pp.len;
 accept;
}

The only think that is strange is that operators like delete or prepend
cannot be used with 'dot-syntax' (i.e. pp.prepend(X)), but must be used
with 'function-syntax' (i.e. pp = prepend(pp, X)).
