BIRD side (docs/lab/prod/bird-ferrix.conf): the ferrix import filter now admits 210036:0:* and 210036:1:*, and lab_export_allowed(peer_as) decides per eBGP session whether a lab route is announced, with the same shape and precedence as the SwissIX route-server communities: 1. 210036:0:<peer-as> never 2. 210036:1:<peer-as> announce 3. 210036:0:0 nobody 4. default everyone The per-session export block applies only to routes learned from ferrix, strips the private ASN and removes the action communities before sending. Status page: the large-community picker is grouped into "AS210036" and "SwissIX route servers" presets, including "announce to the SwissIX route servers" and "send to SWITCH (AS559)"; the bytes hover names both families.

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
