It is true that this part is probably not described anywhere in depth. There are some notes in nest/protocol.h that are not propagated to the documentation. For the rest, you can use the source, but sometimes even the source is 'wrong'.
Will poke around, thanks.
One thing that I have not been able to find is the neighbour stuff: Since Babel has its own neighbour discovery sub-protocol (Hellos / I Heard You's), I don't strictly need to use the core mechanism, I guess, but I started out using it anyway since I thought it might gain me something. But I haven't seen any neighbour events in any of the testing I have done yet. So what events cause a neighbour to go away / come back as far as the bird core is concerned? Is it just the obvious case of the interface going up/down and gaining or losing addresses? Or is there something smarter? -Toke
