Hi! I'm sorry that I'm answering so late. I'm quite busy now. (But good news is, that one company will pay for my upgrades of Bird, so I'll have more time for it.)
Thats excellent news, I'm very happy to hear it!
Thank you for your corrected patch, I'd forgotten about the ipaddr debug abstraction.
I'm still having a few problems with Bird, and I hope to find some spare time and and fix them. On my list are: * MD5 authentication for OSPF
Is it important for you? Or shall I rather fix bugs?
* speed up OSPF startup/syncup time
? Could you explain it to me? What's your 'tick' time?
* per-interface authentication settings for RIP (rather than global)
OK, Pavel, could you have a look at it?
* occasionally it never syncs up with an OSPF peer
:-( Yes, it sometimes happens. Did you find when and where it comes?
* if it has intermittant contact with an OSPF peer and can't finish negotiation (e.g. through a crappy wireless link that drops half the packets), it may never come up with a routing table via the Full peers it DOES know of
So it means that BIRD often does DOWN/FULL(UP) action with some peer?
* sometimes it syncs up with its OSPF peers properly yet decides not to set any routes?
??
* theres an annoyingly large period of down time between when it clears the kernel's routing table and creates a new one
How long is it?
I'm sure a couple of these problems are merely config, but some seem like bugs. Hopefully I'll get to spend some more time on it soon.
Great!
