Roughly after a year, I have got fantastic news for you, we just release a news version 2.0.9. I have to thank my great colleagues! Here is the list of the main features: o OSPF: All packets on PtP networks should be sent to AllSPFRouters address o Linux: New option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket buffer size For OSPF on PtP network, BIRD now sends all packets to multicast AllSPFRouters address (as required in RFC 2328 8.1). This likely breaks setups with multiple neighbors on a network configured as PtP, which worked in previous versions. Since Linux 5.3, netlink socket can be flooded by route cache entries during route table scan. This version mitigates that issue by using strict netlink
