Hello!
IIRC, the right way to do it is to call
disable X;
for X in all protocol names you want to clear, and then request
reconfiguration which should clear them.
BTW thank you for pointing at this feature. There is currently no
automatic test suite for dynamic BGP and we should definitely add it.

Hi,
I use Bird 2.0.9 to spread a special list of prefixes via BGP to an
unknown list of users, so I use “neighbor range 0.0.0.0/0
<http://0.0.0.0/0> external;” and a passive mode.
In this situation, there are some dynamic protocols created by port
scanners or some other one-time connections. It is not a big deal, but
after some time the “show protocol” output looks huge, and I presume
Bird eats more memory with several thousand connections.
The only way I found to clear those dynamic protocols was to restart
Bird, but this affects real users of the service.
Is there another way to clear unsuccessful dynamic protocols? I can
parse the list of it, but still I didn’t find a way to clear a specific
protocol, like “clear protocol dynbgp2049” or smth. The best way would
be to clear “all protocols in the start state”, but AFAIK right now
there is no command like that in Birdc.
Best regards,
Valery
