Now, dealing with ECMP with OSPF in Bird 2.04 on Fedora30, I run in same problems: -> multiple next hops to same destination (50.50.50.0/24) are in the route table of bird: bird> sho route Table master4: 10.10.10.0/24 unicast [OIPv46 13:39:16.979] I (150/10) [10.10.10.1] dev enp0s3 192.168.122.0/24 unicast [OIPv46 13:46:18.979] E2 (150/10/10000) [10.10.10.3] via 10.10.10.3 on enp0s3 50.50.50.0/24 unicast [OIPv46 13:46:18.979] E2 (150/10/100) [10.10.10.3] via 10.10.10.2 on enp0s3 weight 11 via 10.10.10.3 on enp0s3 weight 11 bird> [root@localhost ~]# but kernel route table looks unexpectedly different: root@localhost ~]# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 enp0s3 50.50.50.0 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 enp0s3 192.168.122.0 10.10.10.3 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 enp0s3 [root@localhost ~]# Kernel looks configured correctly (*CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=y), etc.etc.* *Bird config on ECMPed bird router: *protocol ospf OIPv46 { tick 2; rfc1583compat yes; ecmp yes limit 8; merge external yes; ipv4 { import all; export all; }; area 0 { interface "enp0*" { # type broadcast; # Detected by default cost 10; # Interface metric ecmp weight 11; What is missing either in the bird-config or the kernel part?
