Dear all,
There is many changes in the source-sensitive version of babeld
since the last announce. Recall that the code is available at:
git clone -b source-specific git://git.wifi.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/babels.git
http://git.wifi.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/?p=babels.git
https://github.com/boutier/babeld
CHANGES:
- configuration:
- filter: you can filter source-specific routes using "src-ip", "src-eq",
"src-le", "src-ge". It works as "ip", "eq", etc.
- importing specific routes: now, this is done via filters. Instead of
using "allow", just use "src-specific <prefix>". This can be done
either in the "redistribute" or "in" filters.
For example, in order to redistribute all v4 routes as specific to
192.268.1.0/24, use
redistribute src-specific 192.168.1.0/24
Be worry when using it in the "in" filter... You will found details and
more examples in the manpages.
- implementation:
- IPV6-SUBTREES: Since Linux 3.10.12, source-sensitive routing tables can be
used as we expected. If you compile the code with '-D IPV6_SUBTREES',
it will use the native netlink API instead of using multiple routing
tables with rules over it. Of course, the IPv4 part of the code is let
unchanged.
The best solution would be to check it dynamically. If someone knows
how to do that...
- requests: Source-specific request messages are implemented.
- other:
Many bugs have been fixed, especially for the interoperability and TLV
compression mechanism.
Best regards,
Matthieu
