Re: BIRD drops specific IPv6 session for no reason

2020-02-28 Thread Alexander Zubkov
Hi, Can it be some IO issue? We had similar problems with bird making an IO loop for too much time so that hold timers were expired by that time. It was probably caused when it was writing a log file on a busy HDD. But we catch those with syslog too, because that write is blocking for the bird too

First, handling of optional attributes depends on whether you knows them, not on whether a peer knows them. Unknown optional transitive attributes are re-propagated, but with set 'partial' flag. For details, see bgp_export_attr() function. Thanks for the answer I really appreciate it. Yeah for

Hi Tapio, Good point as well but I don’t have access to customer’s router. I can only touch my Linux server and based on that, ARP entry is there as the BGPv4 session remains up (which means that the switches in the middle can have a valid MAC entry in their MAC table). Only the BGPv6 session

HI Alarig, Thank you for sharing your experiences. I don’t have the MSS currently but if that was the case, wouldn’t have experienced the drops more frequently? Currently it happens once per month (or 0.8 per month) and contrary to your case which was 100% network related, in our case we don’t

double check that your router have arp entry and route for that peer when that happens. Example if your router get wrong route for peer it can send response packets (or some cases arp requests) to wrong interface. So dump your another interfaces also at same time and you will see what it do. Pro

Hello there, I am currently trying to use BIRD for route propagation from our baremetal Kubernetes clusters (Calico CNI, iBGP sessions within AS65100) into infrastructure via eBGP (private AS) and it works well. The issue I have is when I want also to create BGP peering between BIRD and (MetalLB)
