I finally got round to running your latest dev version. One problem that sticks out is that every RIB change results in a FIB change.
Not every change, only changes that may affect the resulting merged routes. It is true that we do not have reliable way to eliminate 'empty' FIB updates and therefore we err on the side of propagating unnecessary 'changes'. But that is not something new, BIRD has always such behavior.
please allow me to add the pointer to the also wished "noise suppression" in OSPF, where a delay between appearance or disappearance of a route and it's propagation to the neighbours would also improve the stability of the landscape and lower the "noise" caused by flapping routes. (Cisco boxes behave this way, from our observations.) Regards Gerold
