Re: [PATCH v5] Babel: Replace internal route selection by bird's nest
Hello, We're still waiting for any feedback on this useful patch. We've been running it in our mesh network with nearly 200 nodes. I'm also considering submitting it to the routing feed (cc @Toke), and I hope the patch will be adapted for BIRD 3 as well. For reference, here's the original post: https://bird.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2023-February/016705.html Tested-by: Nick Hainke <vincent@systemli.org> Best regards, Nick
Hello Nick, gonna try looking at it in August, the patch looks well on first sight but the interaction between a protocol and a table is not always so straightforward so we have to take some time merging it. Also there will be consequences in BIRD 3 which need to be considered. Sorry for the delay. We were swamped by an awful lot of things and this patch gets postponed over and over again. Have a nice day! Maria On Wed, Jul 23, 2025 at 04:36:10PM +0200, nick via Bird-users wrote:

We're certainly not going to patch in an entirely different route propagation mechanism for the OpenWrt build, so let's get this upstreamed first :) -Toke
