[OSPF] BIRD <> Mikrotik checksum
Hi! I have a problem with binding bird with mikrotik router os. The RouterOS says: Discarding packet: wrong checksum. In the bird manual we can find "The RFC says that a router should check the checksum of every LSA to detect hardware problems. BIRD does not do this to minimalize CPU utilization." Does the BIRD send checksum in OSPF That is my OSPF config: protocol ospf LandtechOSPF { tick 2; rfc1583compat yes; area 0.0.0.0 { stub no; interface "eth1" { hello 10; retransmit 5; cost 10; transmit delay 5; dead 40; dead count 40; wait 50; type broadcast; }; }; } Thanks for help! -- Pozdrawiam!

Strange. I will check that.

Yes, BIRD sends and checks checksums, it just doesn't repeatedly checks checksums of LSAs already in LSAdb. -- 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."
