Hello all, Hi.
I'm running BIRD 1.3.4 with JUNOS and I ran into the issue of "netmask 0.0.0.0" was seen by JUNOS as it's not being sent by BIRD on a OSPF point-to-point link per RFC spec but JUNOS perform strict check on it.
There seemed to be quite a bit of discussions about this online [1][2] and I'm wondering if anyone got a better alternatives then switching to link broadcast mode? It seems broadcast is the only alternative.
I also looked at BIRD code, it seemed like someone have applied a patch for a "ptp netmask" option on in April 17 to work around this issue but Yes, I had the same problem and Ondrej merged my patch recently. upgrading BIRD is not an option at this point.
