Multiple BIRD instances on the same machine
by Simone Morandini 19 May '10

19 May '10

Dear all, is it possible to "split" BIRD and use the same physical machine as a route server on two separate LANs? If yes, how can I do it? If feasible, is it something that is discouraged? Thanks, Simone. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[PATCH 1/2] flex: Avoid REJECT name conflict.
by Joakim Tjernlund 17 May '10

17 May '10

REJECT is a reserved word in flex and REJECT is also used as %token in bison grammar. Rename REJECT to Reject in bison grammar to avoid name conflict. Same thing for ECHO but that does not seem to cause any conflicts ATM so leave as is. Also delete some dead code in flex output by using the apropiate %option statements.

Malformed AS_PATH
by Simone Morandini 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi all, I've just started playing around with BIRD: I configured a server with v. 1.2.1 Simple configuration, just to test, with 2 routers: one is ours, the other is a member's router. From what I see, the session between the member and the RS is ok, while the session between our router and the RS cannot be established. The logfile says: 07-05-2010 15:33:43 <RMT> MIX: Received: Malformed AS_PATH: 4002040201315d and birdc says: bird> show protocols all MIX name proto table state since info MIX BGP T_MIX start 15:33 Idle Received: Malformed AS_PATH Description: MIX Preference: 100 Input filter: ACCEPT Output filter: ACCEPT Routes: 0 imported, 0 exported, 0 preferred Route change stats: received rejected filtered ignored accepted Import updates: 0 0 0 0 0 Import withdraws: 0 0 --- 0 0 Export updates: 0 0 0 --- 0 Export withdraws: 0 --- --- --- 0 Pipe protocols are declared in transparent mode. On my peering router the session with the RS goes from Idle to Active, than Idle again. The route server is currently configured with a private AS, but I think it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks in advance, Simone. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

MD5 TCP in Linux
by Ondrej Filip 05 May '10

05 May '10

Hi, we made a very interesting observation. For some reason we downgraded Linux kernel do 2.6.24 and MD5 signed BGP session became unstable. BIRD was able to establish session but later it started to send packets with invalid MD5 signature randomly. This caused BGP session drop sometimes. TSO and scatter-gather were switched off. The problem disappeared after upgrade to 2.6.32. So please be careful with Linux kernel versions. Ondrej

Xtonlsab bug
by Joakim Tjernlund 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Ondrej, this looks buggy: +static inline void htonlsab(void *h, void *n, u16 len) { memcpy(n, h, len); }; +static inline void ntohlsab(void *n, void *h, u16 len) { memcpy(h, n, len); }; memcpy is not defined to handle overlapping memory. Best to add: if (n != h) memcpy(...) Might as well do that for these too: +static inline void htonlsah(struct ospf_lsa_header *h, struct ospf_lsa_header *n) { *n = *h; }; +static inline void ntohlsah(struct ospf_lsa_header *n, struct ospf_lsa_header *h) { *h = *n; };

CLI ?
by Joakim Tjernlund 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Tried the CLI(birdc) and I am a bit confused as to whait it can do. I only see this when I press ?: bird> ? configure [soft] ["<file>"] Reload configuration debug ... Control protocol debugging via BIRD logs disable <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Disable protocol down Shut the daemon down dump ... Dump debugging information echo [all | off | <mask>] [<buffer-size>] Configure echoing of log messages enable <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Enable protocol exit Exit the client help Description of the help system mrtdump ... Control protocol debugging via MRTdump files quit Quit the client reload <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Reload protocol restart <protocol> | "<pattern>" | all Restart protocol restrict Restrict current CLI session to safe commands show ... Show status information Not a lot, seems that the CLI only can do very limited configuration or am I missing something here. Jocke

fletcher checksum
by Joakim Tjernlund 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

I think I mentioned this in passing but the fletcher checksum impl. is fragile. Try changing "u16 length" to "u32 length" and watch it break for no apparent reason. Jocke
