Bumping up - even if there is no good answer to my question, I think that the documentation should be fixed :-) Piotr -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Opaque pipe in bird 2.0? Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2018 09:24:50 +0200 From: Piotr Wydrych <piotr.wydrych@akamai.com> Organization: Akamai Technologies To: bird-users@network.cz Hi, Having a table with 2 paths per prefix, I need to send only the best path to another table, like this: +------+ +------+ |table1| |table2| +------+ +------+ \ / \ / +v-v+ |all| +-+-+ | | +----v----+ |best_only| +---------+ As far as I remember, I could use pipe with opaque mode to achieve that in Bird 1.6. After mode has been removed in Bird 2.0, is there any simple way to do it by using pipe and filters? Currently, I configured to have a BGP session to itself to send the best paths, but I consider it as a dirty workaround... BTW, documentation for pipe in 2.0 still mentions the opaque mode - http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#ss6.8 (2nd and 3rd paragraph). Best, Piotr -- Piotr 'GhosT' Wydrych ......
