2007-10-21Being able to set the decision weight of prefixes is a nice feature, butMichael Knudsen
when it's not really documented in what way it influences the decision process, people like myself will screw it up and assume that it gets added to the prefix path lenth, and thus that smaller weight wins. .. which is not the case. Document the actual behaviour. ok claudio, the general change agreed by henning. proofraed by jmc.

2006-06-17implement carp demotion control for bgpd.Henning Brauer
sessions can be configured to modify the carp demotion counter for a given interface group (usually, "carp", which has all carp interfaces) when the session is not established. once the session is established for 60 seconds, the demotion is cleared. this, used correctly, can prevent a bgpd-box which lost all sessions (and thus has no routes) to be carp master, while the backup has sessions. thought through and partially hacked on a drive from calgary to vancouver with ryan, ok claudio

2005-08-09Introduce new route decision tunable "rde med compare (always|strict)".Claudio Jeker
If set to always the med will also be compared between different AS. The default is strict which is the way the RFC specifies it. OK henning@

2005-06-29rtlabel support via filter sets. Just use "set rtlabel foobar" in filtersClaudio Jeker
network and neighbor statements and the routes are labeled accordingly. While doing that fix some mem-leaks by introducing filterset_free() and remove the free on send option of send_filterset(). This took a bit longer because we need to carefully track the rtlabel id refcnts or bad things may happen on reloads. henning@ looks fine
2005-06-09Change the "network connected|static" statements to "network inet|inet6Claudio Jeker
connected|static" so that it is possible to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. "network connected|static" is considered deprecated but will be supported as an alias for "network inet connected|static" for some time (one release) to simplify upgrades. This also solve a nasty crash when using "network connected". OK henning@

2005-04-12Introduce a per prefix weight. The weight is used to tip prefixes with equalClaudio Jeker
long AS pathes in one or the other direction. It weights a prefix at a very late stage in the decision process. This is a nice bgpd feature to traffic engineer networks where most AS pathes are equally long. OK henning@

2005-03-14Allow to modify the metrics in a relative way by prepending the number withClaudio Jeker
a '+' or '-'. e.g. set localpref +20. This is another gem from the FOSDEM lying around on my HD gathering dust. OK henning@
2005-03-11Finally commit the transparent-as and nexthop no-modify stuff I wrote on theClaudio Jeker
way to FOSDEM. With transparent-as set to ye bgpd will not prepend his own AS for sent updates. NB the neighbor needs to set "enforce neighbor-as no" or it will not like the received AS paths. With set nexthop no-modify bgpd will change the nexthop as done normaly. OK henning@ man page update with help of jmc@

the best path selection will not only be based on the path attributes but also on the age of the prefix. This is an extension to the RFC. The default is ignore but previously it was implicitly set to evaluate. OK henning@ man page OK jaredy@ jmc@
