Hello.
I noticed an issue in BIRD version 3.1.3 with the display of the "Remote
state" when showing the status of a BFD session. For all BFD sessions, the
state is shown as "Remote state: Init".
For example:
# birdc show bfd sessions address 195.208.208.100 all
BIRD 3.1.3 ready.
bfd_v6:
bfd_v4:
Address: 195.208.208.100
Interface: vlan701
Session type: Direct
Session state: Up
*Remote state: Init*
Last state change: 11:32:02.130
Local diagnostic: None
Remote diagnostic: None
Local discriminator: XXXXXXXX
Remote discriminator: XXXXXXXX
Transmit timer: 0.698 / 1.000
Detect timer: 4.234 / 5.000
Local parameters:
Min TX interval: 1.000
Min RX interval: 1.000
Demand mode: No
Multiplier: 5
Remote parameters:
Min TX interval: 1.000
Min RX interval: 1.000
Demand mode: No
Multiplier: 5
At the same time, in version BIRD 3.1.2 it is displayed as follows:
# birdc show bfd sessions address 195.208.208.100 all
BIRD 3.1.2 ready.
bfd_v6:
bfd_v4:
Address: 195.208.208.100
Interface: vlan701
Session type: Direct
Session state: Up
*Remote state: Up*
Last state change: 11:29:29.994
Local diagnostic: None
Remote diagnostic: None
Local discriminator: XXXXXXXX
Remote discriminator: XXXXXXXX
Transmit timer: 0.729 / 1.000
Detect timer: 4.596 / 5.000
Local parameters:
Min TX interval: 1.000
Min RX interval: 1.000
Demand mode: No
Multiplier: 5
Remote parameters:
Min TX interval: 1.000
Min RX interval: 1.000
Demand mode: No
Multiplier: 5
In BIRD version 2.17.2 the state is displayed as:
# birdc show bfd sessions address 195.208.208.100 all
BIRD 2.17.2 ready.
bfd_v4:
Address: 195.208.208.100
Interface: vlan701
Session type: Direct
Session state: Up
*Remote state: Up*
Last state change: 10:07:54.557
Local diagnostic: None
Remote diagnostic: None
Local discriminator: XXXXXXXX
Remote discriminator: XXXXXXXX
Transmit timer: 0.651 / 1.000
Detect timer: 4.550 / 5.000
Local parameters:
Min TX interval: 1.000
Min RX interval: 1.000
Demand mode: No
Multiplier: 5
Remote parameters:
Min TX interval: 1.000
Min RX interval: 1.000
Demand mode: No
Multiplier: 5
It seems that in BIRD 3.1.3 the "Remote state" is displayed incorrectly.
