Hi there. I have finaly getting the way to make bird to work on freebsd... Was the --enable-ipv6 that made me crazy.... So I am thinking to manage on move from OpenBGPD to bird... Seems that bird is the most fastest alternative to OpenBGPd (same time to get the full view on a PIII 886 machine than OpenBGPd, so this is good), and seems to have small fingerprint about RAM usage. A big question is : - how to set a MD5 password on a BGP session ? This is more and more needed on public IXes. Is there any plan for that ? in brief support for RFC 2385. Another question is how to get a summary of routes announced by a peer like the Cisco command : show ip bgp sum This is really usefull when trying to figure how many routes is getting announced. Thanks for your support. /Xavier
