Judge every route a peer announces: import policy, prefix limit, hold-down
A configured peer could announce any prefix with any path, in any number, and all of it was stored and could be chosen as best. Each peer now has an import policy, and every route goes through it before it reaches the routing table. Checks that hold for any peer unless turned off for it: - no prefixes that are not routed on the Internet (private, loopback, link-local, documentation, multicast, reserved; for IPv6, anything outside global unicast); - nothing longer than /24 or /48, no default route, nothing shorter than /8 or /16; - no reserved, private or documentation AS number in the path; - a path that begins with the peer's own AS (turned off for a route server), and of at most 64 AS numbers. Always: a route with our own AS number in its path is refused. RFC 4271 requires this loop check and it was missing. Per peer, if configured: the prefixes it may announce, each with an optional longest more-specific, and the AS numbers its routes may originate from. This is the list generated from the routing registries. max_prefixes limits how many routes a peer may have. One more ends the session with Cease / Maximum Number of Prefixes Reached, and the peer is kept down for hold_down_seconds (ten minutes unless set): its connections are not taken and it is not dialled. Refused routes do not count towards the limit. A refused route is withdrawn rather than ignored, so that it replaces whatever the peer had announced for it before. On a session with two-octet AS numbers the path is judged with its AS4_PATH merged in, so that the real AS numbers are what is checked. Peers that are not configured (accept_unconfigured_peers, for test networks) get a policy that takes everything but loops. Refusals are counted in bgp_routes_rejected_total by reason. The status page and /api/peers show, for each session, how many routes the peer has and how many were refused. The server warns at startup about peers with no limit. The prefix check costs about 4 ns a route with the default policy; the end-to-end benchmark is unchanged. Also: the benchmark's server AS is one that is in none of its generated paths, and a table test that depended on the hasher's seed is fixed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## What is taken from a peer
|
||||
|
||||
Every route a peer announces is judged before it goes into the routing
|
||||
table (`import` in a peer's configuration; see `config.proto`):
|
||||
|
||||
- Refused for any peer unless turned off: prefixes that are not routed on
|
||||
the Internet (private, documentation, multicast, reserved), prefixes longer
|
||||
than /24 or /48, a default route, paths with a private or reserved AS
|
||||
number, and paths that do not begin with the peer's own AS.
|
||||
- Always refused: a path with our own AS number in it.
|
||||
- If configured: a list of the prefixes the peer may announce and of the AS
|
||||
numbers its routes may originate from.
|
||||
- `max_prefixes`: one route more ends the session with Cease / Maximum
|
||||
Number of Prefixes Reached and keeps the peer down for ten minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
A refused route is dropped, along with the route it would have replaced.
|
||||
`bgp_routes_rejected_total` counts them by reason, and the status page shows
|
||||
how many routes each peer has and how many were refused.
|
||||
|
||||
## Trying it without a router
|
||||
|
||||
`fake_peer` is a minimal BGP speaker that connects to the daemon, announces a
|
||||
prefix, prints every UPDATE it receives and, with `--echo`, re-announces each
|
||||
received prefix back with its own ASN prepended (dropping NO_EXPORT routes).
|
||||
That makes originated prefixes show up in the received table as if they had
|
||||
travelled through a neighbouring AS:
|
||||
The prefix it announces shows up in the received table. The ones it echoes
|
||||
have been through our AS already, so they are refused as loops and counted
|
||||
in the peer's refused routes:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cargo run -- testdata/server.textpb
