Hi all,
for a current project I’m planning on using Babel as a lightweight, dual-stack routing protocol for a couple of simple tasks. For a proof of concept I’ve been using BIRD, and a plan to continue using BIRD at least in the backend.
Sadly, I quickly hit a showstopper: none of the routes (neither v4 nor v6) exported from one side were imported on the other side. While investigating the problem I quickly stumbled over the following line in the debug log: “bird: bb: Bad TLV from fe80::xxx via vh type 8 pos 16 - parse error” After playing around for a little bit I found out: The problem appears whenever the route advertisement contains v4 routes.
I’m using BIRD 2.0.2. I used the following setup to reproduce the problem: Two network namespaces, “default" and “test", connected via an veth pair. In both namespaces I’m running a BIRD instance with the following configs:
Hi Tested it, works for me. Do you have IPv4 addresses on veth ifaces? Otherwise it would complain about no IPv4 next hop, probably send IPv4 routes without one and report parse error on the other side. Could you get tcpdump (-vv -s 0) from the communication? -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
