OSPF graceful restart for unplanned outage?
Hi! Does bird support OSPF graceful restart for unplanned outage? The doc only speaks about planned outage. Section 5 in RFC 3623 describes that OSPF GR mechanism may be used for unplanned outage. Thanks, Kenth

No
Any plans to support it? Believe you support it for BGP.

Not currently. BGP and OSPF graceful restart standards are designed differently. BGP GR is designed as unplanned, there is a new RFC that adds planned / announced option (but not planned-only variant). OSPF GR is designed as planned, with some tricks that allow unplanned usage. -- 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."
