JUNOS and BIRD OSPF ptp netmask 0.0.0.0 mismatch problem
Hello all, I'm running BIRD 1.3.4 with JUNOS and I ran into the issue of "netmask 0.0.0.0" was seen by JUNOS as it's not being sent by BIRD on a OSPF point-to-point link per RFC spec but JUNOS perform strict check on it. There seemed to be quite a bit of discussions about this online [1][2] and I'm wondering if anyone got a better alternatives then switching to link broadcast mode? I also looked at BIRD code, it seemed like someone have applied a patch for a "ptp netmask" option on in April 17 to work around this issue but upgrading BIRD is not an option at this point.

That's really a bummer. Do we know when we can expect the next version with the "ptp netmask" to be package? I might look at upgrading BIRD if it's published. -bn 0216331C On Sat, May 4, 2013 at 1:58 AM, Alexander V. Chernikov <melifaro@ipfw.ru>wrote:

Probably very soon, git commit a2017200c71293d0a28a39d1f250ba38d57f6289 is essentially a 1.3.10 prerelease. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
Cool. Looking forward to 1.3.10 release then. -bn 0216331C On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 4:07 PM, Ondrej Zajicek <santiago@crfreenet.org>wrote:
