Hello all. I'm wondering if anyone has deployed BIRD as a BGP routing daemon in a production environment? Any feedback on it's stability would be appreciated.

I use it on some routers. It work fine now, the only problem is, that there is some memory leak which I cannot find. So the problem is, that it consumes more and more memory. :-( I hope, I'll fix it quickly. Feela

Did you try running it through valgrind (http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/) ? Thats very good in debugging memory leaks...

I hope I've found the leak yesterday, the fix is in the current CVS. I'll be somewhere "in the wild" and away from my mail for a week, so could you please check that the fix works and if it does, release a new tarball?

I hope so. :-)

Of course I'm testing it heavily. I'll release it as soon as I'll be sure that it's fixed. Feela

Yes, I'm using it as BGP router. I have two peers that I connect to. I'm filtering the full BGP route table, because I don't need it, so I dont know how bird will act in such situation. Now I'm using 1.0.5 (on Slackware 8.1 Linux)... when I tried 1.0.6 it didn't work for some reason and I imediatelly changed back to 1.0.5 because it is in production use. I'v also had one oter issue with bird. Sometimes, rarely-but it happens, when I'm disconnected to the peer (ex. satellite link down) - bird while trying to reconnect would garble the IP address of the peer. Then I would have to kill and restart bird. This has happened some 4-5 times (I think) in 2 years, and I don't know how to reproduce it... Luckilly that I was present at those times at my BGP server, so I could see and repair the situation. I also couldn't find any connection of the original peer address and the mistaken one bird was trying to connect to. -- Damjan Georgievski
