using iproute2 named identifiers (e.g. /etc/iproute2/rt_table as
ipt_*) is restricted to values <=256 (<a href="https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/blob/master/sysdep/unix/main.c#L197">https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/blob/master/sysdep/unix/main.c#L197</a>).
However the linux kernel supports much larger values. I know it
supports table identifiers up to 0xffffffff (<a href="https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/rtnetlink.h#L337">https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/rtnetlink.h#L337</a>),
but I'm not sure about the others like rt_protos.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Can we get Bird to allow these larger values?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<br></div><div id="sig65755784"><div class="signature">--<br></div><div class="signature">Patrick Hemmer<br></div><div class="signature"><br></div><div class="signature"><br></div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
