Hi!
i have seen a very high load produced by bird on one of my machines. I am basically using the beneath config.
You are running bird on more than one machine? Wow!
I think it has something to do with a misconfigured device not having enabled Split Horizon. The Ascend Max announced the local ethernet ip address so bird deleted the local ethernet route but couldnt add the route with a gateway because the kernel returned "host unreachble". With this configuration
Should bird delete local ethernet route under any circumstances?
and 12 hours runtime the process grew to 25MB (With only ~90 Routes) and took at least 50% CPU time. Somebody got an idea ?
rip is set into quiet mode, so it should not cause any kind of packet storm. I do not know what is going on.
protocol rip ripd { debug all; interface "eth0" { mode quiet; mode broadcast; }; honor neighbor; authentication none; import filter { print "importing"; accept; }; export filter { print "exporting"; accept; }; }
