<div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I did sent this message a week back but I could not see it in the mailing, moreover just now subscribed to this mailing list, so sending this again.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div>I’m seeing some issues with ospf adj over ptp
numbered/unnumbered interface. </div><div><br></div><div>1. For
p2p connections, ospf should be sending only multicast packets to
allospfrouters, but I see its sending to unicast address.</div>
<p class="ydp88c206b8MsoListParagraph">(From RFC “On physical point-to-point networks, the
IP destination is always set to the address AllSPFRouters”)</p>
<p class="ydp88c206b8MsoListParagraph">2. For
ptp over unnumbered interface, bird requires peer address configuration which
is not required from the ospf perspective. Because bird is using peer address
and sending unicast packets, bird cannot form multiple ospf adj over ptp
unnumbered interface between 2 endpoints using same peer address.</p>
<div>Made some quick changes and have attached the patch that
addresses the issues. Relaxed the source ip address validation for ptp link in
packet.c for now. More validation can be added to make it complete.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and Regards,</div><div>Senthil</div></div><br></div></div></body></html>
