The production router has the same neighbour AS at several exchanges, so per-AS control alone cannot express "only at SwissIX". Every session now has two coordinates, neighbour AS and location, and the scheme gains two functions: 210036:0:<as> / 210036:2:<location> never announce (wins) 210036:1:<as> / 210036:3:<location> announce 210036:0:0 announce nowhere nothing announce everywhere docs/lab/prod/bird-ferrix.conf documents the functions, the per-session call (export where peers_out(<as>, <location>)) and the gate that sessions exporting everything need as well. Status page: location presets, and AS210036 communities are decoded from their structure so any value reads well in the bytes hover. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BGP
The bgp crate is an implementation of the Border Gateway Protocol, which is used to exchange routing and control plane information between Autonomous Systms.
The aim of this project is to provide a modern, high performance, secure and programatic and customizable software package that can be useful to network operators, researchers, and people interested in Internet.
Current status.
The project is currently being rewritten from scratch to be more modular and maintainable, as well as to fix deeper issues with the previous implementation.
⚠️ Warning: This is currently a work in progress and not ready for use.
🛣️ Roadmap to v1.0
We aim for the 1.0 release to be functional and stable to operate peering sessions, and to install routes in the Linux Kernel.
- ☐ Implement basic parsers for the fundamental types required
- ✅ Path Attributes from RFC4271
- ✅ Open message
- ✅ Capabilities from RFC4271
- ✅ Update message
- ☐ Notification message
- ✅ Implement scaffolding required to start and configure a server
- ✅ Implement connection logic to establish sessions with peers (passive and active)
- ✅ Locally originated routes with communities, announced to all peers
- ✅ HTTP API, live status page and Prometheus metrics
- ☐ Implement an efficient data structure for storing prefixes (e.g. Poptrie)
- ☐ Filtering for peer RIB in / out
- ☐ Main / auxillary RIBs for exchanging routes between peers
