Hi!
I noticed messages in my syslog that inform about bird dumping the routing table a bit to often to the interfaces. Example:
Feb 13 09:36:41 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:36:51 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:36:58 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:37:09 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:37:20 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:37:26 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:37:33 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:37:39 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:37:45 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0 Feb 13 09:37:53 (none) daemon.debug bird: rip1: Broadcasting routing table to eth0
If I did not fully misunderstood the meaning of the configuration options it should broadcast them every 30 seconds, not every 5 to 10 seconds:
It does not really broadcast them every 5 seconds, it just checks if there is something to send. (Not 100% sure, now, check the source or look at tcpdump). Pavel -- I'm pavel@ucw.cz.
