Hi everyone,
I currently have a relatively simple IPv4 BGP setup on BIRD 1 (importing
default, advertising a single /24), but now that I will be routing IPv6
for the first time, I thought it may be worth considering moving to BIRD
2.
I am having trouble finding information on how to migrate.

Is this list the place to discuss feature requests? Please let me know if
there's somewhere more appropriate.

Hi all,
If I do several consecutive "show route" queries, the timestamp keeps
changing back and forth, by about a second. Example:
0.0.0.0/0 via x.x.x.x on em2.100 [aapt 05:20:28] * (100)
[AS2764i]
0.0.0.0/0 via x.x.x.x on em2.100 [aapt 05:20:28] * (100)
[AS2764i]
0.0.0.0/0
Hello again,
Thank you for the replies.
It's a simple setup with a private ASN and a default from upstream, so
it's more advertising the inbound path that is the issue. Since the ASN is
private, I can't do something like AS path padding to strongly prefer one
path over the other. The backup w
Hi all,
I want to enable a backup BGP session (or perhaps, keep the session up and
change the import/export filters) only when the main peer goes down
(default disappears)
Conceptually, I want to do something like this:
if net = 0.0.0.0/0 then {
if from = x.x.x.x then { # x.x.x.x = main
Following up my message from a few days ago. Even the simplest possible
config causes a syntax error, despite the interface directive being a
sample copied straight from the docs. I tried bird.conf with ONLY these 3

Hi all,
I want to broadcast a last-resort old-school default route via RIPv1. The
following config works:
filter default_route {
if net ~ [ 0.0.0.0/0 ] then {
accept;
}
reject;
}
# ...snip...
protocol rip {
export filter default_route;
interface "em0" {
version 1;
