Yes, it is still alive, I'm still working on it.

Well there is some bug, that causes problems with stability. Bird sometimes crashes (not very often but...). So unfortunately I cannot recommend it for production environment. I hope I'll fix this quickly. Ondrej
Thanks. /Xavier
I can only confirm the instability bug as I was trying to use Bird in our product. ... the spam is getting worse and worse.... bye Savino ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ondrej Filip" <feela@network.cz> To: "Xavier Beaudouin" <kiwi@oav.net> Cc: <bird-users@trubka.network.cz> Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 9:54 AM Subject: Re: Is BIRD alive ?

While you are at it: I do get this kind of syslog messages: Jan 18 09:30:22 pollux bird: Bad OSPF packet from 10.1.1.2 - authentification failed Mostly they appear sporadically and disappear again, sometimes they become persistent and bird needs to be restarted. Bird version is 1.0.11. -- Andreas Steinmetz SPAMmers use robotrap@domdv.de

It works fine in a RIP-only configuration. I use it in production for RIP and it never fails or stops. I think the issue in question is an OSPF bug, or something. -Michael
Does anybody uses BIRD on FreeBSD ? /Xavier Le 18 janv. 06 à 18:08, michael_moore@csnw.com a écrit :

I'm using BIRD myself with a BGP peer to receive 1000 routes from a cisco router. All good and nice! -- Guillaume Beaudoin "À la hauteur de mon avenir." Service Informatique Une tradition d'excellence Collège de Bois-de-Boulogne depuis plus de 40 ans.

Good to hear that.... On which OS, because I am trying to make it running on FreeBSD but I don't have any chance to make it run... Any clues ? /Xavier

I'm running it under Linux 2.2. Sorry to say that I don't have any information to help you with FreeBSD. -Michael
Hi michael,
I'm running it under Linux 2.2. Sorry to say that I don't have any information to help you with FreeBSD.
Ok this is an hint :) Because : # bird -c bird.conf.example bird: bird.conf.example, line 20: parse error (when just trying to make default config testing) and in line 20 I get : # Define a route filter... filter test_filter { if net ~ 10.0.0.0/16 then accept; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ else reject; } I suspect some yacc / lex problem... Any idea ? /Xavier
Working here (mostly) on linux 2.4.19 kernel, debian, doing BGP4 peering, full backbone routes (presently 176,055). It peers BGP4 with two remote routers (only one is full routes). We gave up on OSPF stability in bird long ago. It's a bastardized debian running from flash, with a watchdog that will reboot it if the routing dies. Happens sporatically, every month or three, sometimes more often. It appears that this is usually caused by a hardware or driver issue of some kind with a Sangoma card, hence the need to reboot. Glad.. shocked.. amazed to hear that someone might actually be working on it! -smj On Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 05:23:47PM -0500, Guillaume Beaudoin wrote:
