Garbage collection of unused dynamic BGP neighbours

2022-09-20 Thread Tore Anderson via Bird-users
Hi Is it possible to garbage collect unused dynamic BGP neighbours? In my environment, these come and go because the dynamic BGP neighbours are themselves quite dynamic (orchestrated containers that get a new IP address every time they are updated or restarted). This causes BIRD to accumulate no

RAdv protocol in failover router setup

2021-06-30 Thread Tore Anderson
I am trying to use BIRD v2.0.8 to emit ICMPv6 RAs from a HA pair of routers. The default router address of the router (fe80::1) is failed over using the VRRP protocol, so it is only present on a single router at any given time. I have run into two challenges I cannot quite figure out how to solve

Bird6 picking up /128 routes from the routing cache

2016-10-21 Thread Tore Anderson
Hi, I noticed something a bit spooky in my lab. Bird6 appears to pick up and export routes that are added to the Linux kernel's routing cache. That is, with a bird6.conf as shown below, if I fire up bird6 in debug mode, and ping a destination with a reduced MTU (to get an ICMPv6 PTB back to trigg
