Hello list! Currently we have 11:32 [0] fbsd8# egrep -RI 'strn?cpy' . 2>/dev/null | wc -l 44 items which are mostly strcpy. Maybe we can add strlcpy() to linux sysdep code and convert most of these calls? I can provide patch if needed

add-path support in bird?
by Job Snijders 14 Aug '12

Hi fellow bird fanatics, Does BIRD support the BGP "Add Path" feature? I operate a looking glass which according to 'show route count' is handling '8475339 of 8475339 routes for 428185 networks'. I'd like to pass the full table along to another looking glass and have bird send BGP Updates for all routes it has in its table. If BIRD were to perform best path calculation and then send the prefixes onwards valuable information would be lost. Kind regards, Job
