Hello. I can not to answer on this question becouse I am not a author of this patch :-). Author says nothing long time about my ask to post this patch. I think becous in filter we have all filter posabilities to deside which realm we want to give to this route. Realms by their nature are the static thing and routes are dynamic so Alexander Zakharov (patch author) had deside to use filter features and not to do any new another "cool features". I only know that he wroute patch for his own needs, but it was my idea to count traffic by the realms: all is fan but outgoing taffic is wrongly counted. Forwarding traffic is counted like iproute2 docs tell, incomming is too, but outgoing is counted to realm "cosmos" or to another srtange place (I don't remember, it was 1 year ago). So I and Alexander have find another ways to count traffic, but patch was written and You can see it. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Mares [mailto:mj@ucw.cz] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 10:42 PM To: Zharovtsev, Anton Cc: bird-users@bird.network.cz Subject: Re: Realm-patch Hello!
May be someone interesting in this patch and not good example of configuration ? :-)
I would be interested in adding support for realms to the next release, however: Is there any reason why you define an extra filter for processing of realms and not make them just another read-write extended attribute of the routes, which would by processed by the already existing input/output filter mechanism?
