Hi!
First, I'm not sure if the BIRD project is even alive, since the last piece of news I see on the web page is from 2/21/2005. But, hopefully somebody is still working on this project and reading this alias.
Unfortunately, nobody currently has time to develop new features, but we still at least fix bugs.
My BGP peering between BIRD and it's peer (currently testing with a Cisco catalyst3550) keeps going down. Not only does the peering go down, but it seems that bird stops receiving anything on it's interface. However if I leave an ssh session with the box running bird open, the interface (and peering) comes up again as soon as I touch ssh session. Leaving a ping running in the window with my ssh session also will keep the interface from going down.
I very much doubt this could be a bug in BIRD, because it doesn't know anything about other traffic on the interface. What NIC it is?
