Hi,
our routers run on Debian stretch with bird 1.6.4 from bird.network.cz/debian.
Yesterday I tried kernel 4.19 from backports.debian.org and ran into a weird issue with IPv6 BGP sessions:
All Peerings reported "Error: Hold timer expired" ca. every 40 minutes.
IPv6 forwarding was flapping all the time.
After rebooting into kernel 4.9 everything worked again.
IPv4 BGP was not affected and also OSPF (v4 and v6). I could disable all IPv6 BGP peerings on this router and then it forwarded to another router learned via OSPF for IPv6 without issues.
Has anyone seen such a behaviour?
I’ve seen this with 4.19 on gentoo. For now I’m still running 4.14. https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/message/fab628cc53e4a55589410f9dff6a...
Same here. Gentoo, Linux 4.19.52, Bird 2.0.4. I am running a full table using a separate VRF and the default table as management VRF.
Without traffic through the box (all IPv6 prefixes filtered) the bgp sessions is stable. With traffic the bgp session dies after some time and ssh connections in the default table freezes.
I did some packet captures and saw tcp retransmissions before hold timer expires.
Kernel 4.14.127 is here stable, too. Sadly I have no time for a kernel bisect until September. (And no glue where to start and how to trigger the bug faster.)
Sorry to bring up a fairly old thread... We believe we are seeing this problem too, since a Stretch->Buster upgrade - was there a solution to this? Thanks Andrew.
