Re: Using Babel.router_id in filters

I would like to write a filter for a Babel protocol where I set a value based on the Babel router ID. I can see Babel.router_id in the route attributes, but it does not look like this is exposed to filters. Only babel_metric is exposed.

Is there a reason for this or was it an oversight?

Yes, for now this is not exposed as filters don't have an appropriate data type to handle Babel router ID. From my personal point of view, I'd prefer to keep it as is for now until we release version 3.0-alpha1 as there will be better API to implement such a type. Maria
