Hello,
Unfortunately, I still have no response from anybody. The
messages continue to come into our logs.
The iBGP session is UP since more than 1 week and till
this moment we don't have complaints by some member.
But this messages are definitely strange and we would be
happy if someone may give some advice according to
their experience.
For any questions or need more information & debug,
please feel free to contact me at anytime.
I really highly appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
Best~

Hello,
We use BIRD as route server for a long time without any
problems. We have both fully symmetric RS for
redundancy.
Yesterday we decided to establish "internal BGP session"
between both of them. The reason to do this is to
achieve prefix symmetric on both RS. Some of our members
hold BGP session only with one of our route servers.
But after establishing this BGP session we began to see
the following message into our logs on both RS for total
random prefixes on absolutely random intervals.
Here is part of my bird.log:

I had checked many times and make many tests if the
next-hop is correct and everything looks
fine but this messages comes permanently :)
We managed to troubleshoot the following behavior and
relationship and see the following effect:
Our scenario:
0.100 0.200
RS1 <- iBGP -> RS2
| |
| |
TEST.AS -----------
0.252
TEST.AS announce: 31.13.244.0/24
RS2 learn this prefix as:
31.13.244.0/24 via 10.1.0.252 on eth0 [R0_252 14:44]
* (100) [AS60230i]
via 10.1.0.252 on eth0 [R0_100
15:12 from 10.1.0.100] (100) [AS60230i]
As soon as we stop to announce 31.13.244.0/24 from
TEST.AS to RS1, in the logs of RS1 begin to come the
following message:
07-03-2014 15:10:09 R0_252:
Invalid NEXT_HOP attribute in route 31.13.244.0/24
But when we try to shutdown (administratively ) the
session between TEST.AS and RS1 this behavior does not
occur and everything seems normal.
I hope this information will be useful for resolving
this strange issue.
Here is our configuration set on both RS. The real AS
number & IPs has been changed for security reason :)
# RS2:

protocol pipe P65535 from iBGP_PIPES {

}
