RE: porting bird to ecos

Some applications making heavy use networking make extensive use of light weight threads instead, thus allowing blocking streams. This is more common on platforms that either don't support fork() well... Unfortunately, many socket libraries are not thread safe, meaning a total switch would likely break more platforms than it could fix, and possibly require semaphores or other locking method around some calls as a kludge for those with poor thread support in their libraries... > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-bird-users(a)atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz [mailto:owner-bird- > users(a)atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz] On Behalf Of Martin Mares > Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 4:25 AM > To: Aditya Veer Singh > Cc: bird-users(a)network.cz > Subject: Re: porting bird to ecos > > Hi! > > > Thanks there seems problem with fcntl > > fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK) is not supported in the OS being used for > arguments F_SETFL and O_NONBLOCK. > > > > Is there any other the functionality required by BIRD can be achived > > without the above call?

porting bird to ecos
by Aditya Veer Singh 15 May '06

15 May '06

Hi, I am trying to port BIRD to eCos. I configured BIRD for BSD as eCos has BSD tcp/ip stack and only enabled RIP as routing protocol. The problem that I face is that fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK) fails while applying the configrations and ends up in calling the method called bug. If I comment the fcntl call than somwhere down die is invoked. Has anybody tried porting BIRD to eCos? Please help in identifying what could be possibly wrong here?

BIRD at Interop (is this list still alive?)
by Hege Trosvik 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

Hi, the iLabs open source software area is planning to demonstrate BIRD as one of our open source routing stacks at Interop, where our demo includes an infrastructure entirely based on open source, and routing is one part of it. First, I'm not sure if the BIRD project is even alive, since the last piece of news I see on the web page is from 2/21/2005. But, hopefully somebody is still working on this project and reading this alias. My BGP peering between BIRD and it's peer (currently testing with a Cisco catalyst3550) keeps going down. Not only does the peering go down, but it seems that bird stops receiving anything on it's interface. However if I leave an ssh session with the box running bird open, the interface (and peering) comes up again as soon as I touch ssh session. Leaving a ping running in the window with my ssh session also will keep the interface from going down. This could of course mean I have bad hardware, but I seem to recall running into a similar problem with bird before and wanted to check if this is a known problem. Regards, Hege

OSPF Flags mismatch

Hi. What's the purpose of this exact check? if (ps->options != ifa->oa->opt.byte) { log(L_ERR "%s%I%soptions mismatch (0x%x).", beg, faddr, rec, ps->options); return; } Cisco router want to set EA in it's options. I don't know for sure but I think it is valid for us to just accept this hello (they want EAL but we won't send them) Am I right? -- Paul P 'Stingray' Komkoff Jr // http://stingr.net/key <- my pgp key This message represents the official view of the voices in my head

deleting direct route from kernel routing table
by Martin Kraus 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

hello, just a quick question. i deleted an ip adress from an interface, bird noticed it, deleted the associated network route from it's routing table, but didn't delete it from the kernel routing table. the kernel route for that network was put there by bird, so i would guess it should clean it up, or am i mistaken? thanks martin

Where can I get some help?
by bird＠richins.org 07 Feb '06

Seriously, is this list used for anything other than spam? I subscribed because I needed a little support. If no one other than spammers use this list, it is useless. If I have come to the wrong place, and you happen to know where the corect place is, please let me know. Also, be aware that this is an aliased account that can (and will) be deleted if abused. If you've got this far, I must assume that either you have a morbid sense of curiosity, or you actually care. Either case, here is my problem: I am currently using Debian Woody and routed as a firewall. I wish to upgrade to Debian Sarge (which comes with bird) From what I have read, it is an impressive project, and definately diserves to be included in the distro. My problem is that bind is having issues when used through a PPPoE connection (or possibly I just don't know how to set it up for one) It seems to recognize the interface with the tunnel endpoint address, and not the actual public IP that I am assigned through the tunnel. Using a DSL-Modem as a PPPoE end point is not an option for me as I do not have a DSL connection. I am subscribed to a FTTP solution (Fiber to the Premise) wherein my provider offers me a 100Mbit ehternet conenction. I must then use a router that supports PPPoE for conneciton. I refuse to use their provided D-Link router as it lacks way too many features. I'm sure that there is additional information that I could give to help troubleshoot this but I am unsure what to give. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there, I am trying to make bird running (mostly on bgp first... other protocols will be used when I'll have finaly finished to it running... I currently running the FreeBSD port of bird : root@freebsd:/usr/local/etc# pkg_info | grep bird bird-1.0.11 Dynamic IP routing daemon But when trying to start it in order to make some testing with bgp I get the following error : root@freebsd:/usr/local/etc# bird -c /usr/local/etc/bird.conf -d bird: /usr/local/etc/bird.conf, line 77: parse error According to configuration file error is : protocol bgp { local as 65335; neighbor 192.168.0.9 as 65334; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # multihop 40 via 192.168.0.254; hold time 240; startup hold time 240; connect retry time 120; (full configuration file is added in attachement in this mail). What is the problem ? Or did I have badly understood configuration file example given in the tarball ? Thanks, /Xavier -- Quand on essaye continuellement, on finit par y arriver.

authentication message-digest ?
by Dmitry Melekhov 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hello! I have cisco with following config: router ospf 1 area 0 authentication message-digest ..... interface Fa 0/0 ip ospf message-digest-key 10 md5 .... I installed bird 1.0.11 on machine with linux 2.4.31 and wrote following in config: interface "eth0" { type broadcast; authentication cryptographic; password "pass"; }; And I get : Nov 26 12:09:19 vpn_22_203 bird: Bad OSPF packet from 192.168.22.253 - authentification failed Doesn it mean that bird doesn't support authentication message-digest? Thank you!
