Hi all, happy new year and thanks for the fresh releases! We have been successfully running the Babel route selection patch [1] with Bird 2.17 in our community mesh network with ~200 Babel nodes since Q3/2024. It has allowed us to really fine-tune a mix of all kinds of wire types connecting the locations: wifi at 60 / 5 / 2 GHz, tunnels over LTE or DSL, fiber in a datacenter, etc. etc. With Babel being a critical part of our network, the patch is running on a broad range of architectures: mips, ppc64, x86_64, and various arm and aarch64 types. With dxld's consent I took his patch and rebased it on Bird 3.1, and we've been testing that for 2 months on the live network. Today I rebased it on 3.2 (thread-next branch), it applied cleanly but I haven't tested it yet. Nevertheless I decided to share it now, see attachment. Kind regards, Lars Freifunk Berlin [1] https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2023-February/016705.html
