I'm a little confused what the capitalized words "PROTOCOL" and "ROUTING TABLE" exactly mean.
For exmaple, if I wrote "import all;" in the OSPF protocol, it will import all the routes that OSPF protocol detects to the BIRD's routing table, right?
Yes.
But when I wrote "export all;" in the OSPF protocol, the routes will be exported from the BIRD's routing table to where?
No. If you wrote "export all;" in the OSPF protocol, the other routes from BIRD routing table are exported to OSPF protocol (as external routes).
Also, if I wrote "import all;" and "export all;" in the Kernel protocol, the routes will be imported and exported from where to where? Is it importing from the kernel table to the BIRD's routing table and exporting routes from the BIRD's routing table to the kernel table?
