One double-sided A4 sheet with 1in margins, still in the LNCS look. 1. Who announces the address you are using: find your current address and its prefix and origin AS, then whois it and your lab prefix. 2. Announce your prefix, read the bytes, find it from outside, ping it. 3. Announce with communities: only the SwissIX route servers, then only SWITCH, with reachability checkboxes, one discussion question, clean up. Sections 1 and 2 fill page one; section 3 has page two. Dropped the ETH lookup, the long registry comparison, NO_EXPORT, the byte-decoding task, the reference appendix and most of the bibliography. 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
