Hello all, I was wondering if bird implements the RFD procedure, route flap damping. I was looking online on the user guide 2.0 but i didn't find any reference to it. I know it is a controversial point, it was presented in the RFC 2439 and then RIPE-378 recommends disabling it thanks to a paper presented in 2002 (Route Flap Damping Exacerbates Internet RoutingConvergence). In 2015 IETF publishes BCP 194 with RFD recommendations. I think could be an interesting parameter for some experiments, so is in the future plans of bird to implement it? What do you think about it? Thanks, Mattia
Hello! We know about that, yet we have postponed it at least after some changes on the multithreading journey as these changes offer better framework for RFD. See the mq-async-export branch for current development of one of these prerequisite changes for multithreading (decoupling export from import); anyway be careful, it may be rebased unexpectedly.
