James Bensley 08b81f7d19 Parse 'SOURCE::' to only use a specific source for an AS-SET or Route Set 
This extension allows operators to specify what IRR source to use when expanding an AS-SET.

For example: `bgpq4 RIPE::AS15562:AS-SNIJDERS`

The notation is also used in databases like PeeringDB.

# DESCRIPTION
The
**bgpq4**
utility is used to generate configurations (prefix-lists, extended
access-lists, policy-statement terms and as-path lists) based on IRR data.
It's options are as follows:
**-4**
> generate IPv4 prefix/access-lists (default).
**-6**
> generate IPv6 prefix/access-lists (IPv4 by default).
**-A**
> try to aggregate prefix-lists as much as possible (not all output
> formats supported).
**-a** *asn*
> specify what asn shall be denied in case of empty prefix-list (OpenBGPD)
**-B**
> generate output in OpenBGPD format (default: Cisco)
**-b**
> generate output in BIRD format (default: Cisco).
**-d**
> enable some debugging output.
**-e**
> generate output in Arista EOS format (default: Cisco).
**-E**
> generate extended access-list (Cisco), policy-statement term using
> route-filters (Juniper), \[ip|ipv6]-prefix-list (Nokia) or prefix-sets
> (OpenBGPd).
**-f** *number*
> generate input as-path access-list.
**-F** *fmt*
> generate output in user-defined format.
**-G** *number*
> generate output as-path access-list.
**-H** *number*
> generate output as-list for JunOS 21.3R1+ `as-path-origin` filter (JunOS only)
**-h** *host\[:port]*
> host running IRRD database (default: rr.ntt.net).
**-J**
> generate config for Juniper (default: Cisco).
**-j**
> generate output in JSON format (default: Cisco).
**-K**
> generate config for Mikrotik (default: Cisco).
**-l** *name*
> name of generated entry.
**-L** *limit*
> limit recursion depth when expanding as-sets.
**-m** *len*
> maximum prefix-length of accepted prefixes (default: 32 for IPv4 and
> 128 for IPv6).
**-M** *match*
> extra match conditions for Juniper route-filters.
**-n**
> generate config for Nokia SR OS MD-CLI (Cisco IOS by default)
**-N**
> generate config for Nokia SR OS classic CLI (Cisco IOS by default).
**-p**
> accept routes registered for private ASNs (default: disabled)
**-P**
> generate prefix-list (default, backward compatibility).
**-r** *len*
> allow more specific routes starting with specified masklen too.
**-R** *len*
> allow more specific routes up to specified masklen too.
**-s**
> generate sequence numbers in IOS-style prefix-lists.
**-S** *sources*

*EXCEPT OBJECTS*
> those objects will be excluded from expansion.
# EXAMPLES
Generating named juniper prefix-filter for AS20597:
$ bgpq4 -Jl eltel AS20597
policy-options {
replace:
prefix-list eltel {
81.9.0.0/20;
81.9.32.0/20;
81.9.96.0/20;
81.222.128.0/20;
81.222.192.0/18;
85.249.8.0/21;
85.249.224.0/19;
89.112.0.0/19;
89.112.4.0/22;
89.112.32.0/19;
89.112.64.0/19;
217.170.64.0/20;
217.170.80.0/20;
}
}
For Cisco we can use aggregation (-A) flag to make this prefix-filter
more compact:
$ bgpq4 -Al eltel AS20597
no ip prefix-list eltel
ip prefix-list eltel permit 81.9.0.0/20
ip prefix-list eltel permit 81.9.32.0/20
ip prefix-list eltel permit 81.9.96.0/20
ip prefix-list eltel permit 81.222.128.0/20
ip prefix-list eltel permit 81.222.192.0/18
ip prefix-list eltel permit 85.249.8.0/21
ip prefix-list eltel permit 85.249.224.0/19
ip prefix-list eltel permit 89.112.0.0/18 ge 19 le 19
ip prefix-list eltel permit 89.112.4.0/22
ip prefix-list eltel permit 89.112.64.0/19
ip prefix-list eltel permit 217.170.64.0/19 ge 20 le 20
Prefixes 89.112.0.0/19 and 89.112.32.0/19 now aggregated
into single entry 89.112.0.0/18 ge 19 le 19.
Well, for Juniper we can generate even more interesting policy-options,
using -M &lt;extra match conditions&gt;, -R &lt;len&gt; and hierarchical names:
$ bgpq4 -AJEl eltel/specifics -r 29 -R 32 -M "community blackhole" AS20597
policy-options {
policy-statement eltel {
term specifics {
replace:
from {
community blackhole;
route-filter 81.9.0.0/20 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 81.9.32.0/20 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 81.9.96.0/20 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 81.222.128.0/20 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 81.222.192.0/18 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 85.249.8.0/21 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 85.249.224.0/19 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 89.112.0.0/17 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
route-filter 217.170.64.0/19 prefix-length-range /29-/32;
}
}
}
}
generated policy-option term now allows all specifics with prefix-length
between /29 and /32 for eltel networks if they match with special community
blackhole (defined elsewhere in configuration).
Of course, this version supports IPv6 (-6):
$ bgpq4 -6l as-retn-6 AS-RETN6
no ipv6 prefix-list as-retn-6
ipv6 prefix-list as-retn-6 permit 2001:7fb:fe00::/48
ipv6 prefix-list as-retn-6 permit 2001:7fb:fe01::/48
[....]
and assumes your device supports 32-bit ASNs
$ bgpq4 -Jf 112 AS-SPACENET
policy-options {
replace:
as-path-group NN {
as-path a0 "^112(112)*$";
as-path a1 "^112(.)*(1898|5539|8495|8763|8878|12136|12931|15909)$";
as-path a2 "^112(.)*(21358|23456|23600|24151|25152|31529|34127|34906)$";
as-path a3 "^112(.)*(35052|41720|43628|44450|196611)$";
}
}
see \`AS196611\` in the end of the list ? That's a 32-bit ASN.
# USER-DEFINED FORMAT
If you want to generate configuration not for routers, but for some
other programs/systems, you may use user-defined formatting, like in
example below:
$ bgpq4 -F "ipfw add pass all from %n/%l to any\n" as3254
ipfw add pass all from 62.244.0.0/18 to any
ipfw add pass all from 91.219.29.0/24 to any
ipfw add pass all from 91.219.30.0/24 to any
ipfw add pass all from 193.193.192.0/19 to any
Recognized format sequences are:
**%n**
> network
**%l**
> mask length
**%a**
> aggregate low mask length
**%A**
> aggregate high mask length
**%N**
> object name
**%m**
> object mask
**%i**
> inversed mask
**&#92;n**
> new line
**&#92;t**
> tabulation
Please note that no new lines inserted automatically after each sentence,
you have to add them into format string manually, elsewhere output will
be in one line (sometimes it makes sense):
$ bgpq4 -6F "%n/%l; " as-eltel
2001:1b00::/32; 2620:4f:8000::/48; 2a04:bac0::/29; 2a05:3a80::/48;
# NOTES ON SOURCES
By default *bgpq4* trusts data from all databases mirrored into NTT's IRR service.
Unfortunately, not all these databases are equal in how much can we trust their
data.
RIR maintained databases (AFRINIC, ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC and RIPE)
shall be trusted more than the others because they have the knowledge about
which address space is allocated to each ASN, other databases lack this
knowledge and can (and actually do) contain some stale data: nobody but RIRs
care to remove outdated route-objects when address space is revoked from one
ASN and allocated to another. In order to keep their filters both compact and
current, *bgpq4 users* are encouraged to use one of two method to limit
database sources to only ones they trust.
One option is to use the '-S' flag. This limits all queries to a specific data
source. For example, the following command tells IIRd to only use data from
the RIPE RIR DB to build the prefix list for the AS-SET:
$./bgpq4 -S RIPE AS-VOSTRON
no ip prefix-list NN
ip prefix-list NN permit 89.21.224.0/19
ip prefix-list NN permit 134.0.64.0/21
Be aware though, than an AS-SET may contain members from other data sources.
In this case IRRd won't respond to the bgpq4 query will all the prefixes in the
AS-SET tree. Make sure to use the '-S' flag with all the data sources required
for the AS-SET being expanded:
$./bgpq4 -S RIPE,ARIN AS-VOSTRON
no ip prefix-list NN
ip prefix-list NN permit 89.21.224.0/19
ip prefix-list NN permit 134.0.64.0/21
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.232.0/24
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.233.0/24
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.234.0/24
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.235.0/24
The other option is to specify a source for an AS-SET or Route Set using the
"::" notation. When bgpq4 detects this, it will look for "::" in the specified
AS-SET or RS on the CLI, and in all members of the AS-SET/RS, and for each
member with a data source specified in "::" format, it will set the IRRd data
source to the given value, query the AS-SET/RS, then reset the data sources back
to the default list for the next object in the tree.
$./bgpq4 RIPE::AS-VOSTRON
no ip prefix-list NN
ip prefix-list NN permit 89.21.224.0/19
ip prefix-list NN permit 134.0.64.0/21
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.232.0/22
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.232.0/24
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.233.0/24
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.234.0/24
ip prefix-list NN permit 208.86.235.0/24
In comparison to the '-S' flag, this method return all the prefixes under the
AS-SET, but the root of the tree "AS-VOSTRON" was queries from RIPE only. None
of the member objects used the "::" notation so they were queries from the
default source list (which is all sources).
General recommendations:
Use minimal set of RIR databases (only those in which you and your
customers have registered route-objects).
Avoid using ARIN-NONAUTH and RIPE-NONAUTH as trusted sources: these records
were created in database but for address space allocated to different RIR,
so the NONAUTH databases have no chance to confirm validity of this route
object.
$ bgpq4 -S RIPE,RADB as-space
no ip prefix-list NN
ip prefix-list NN permit 195.190.32.0/19
$ bgpq4 -S RADB,RIPE as-space
no ip prefix-list NN
ip prefix-list NN permit 45.4.4.0/22
ip prefix-list NN permit 45.4.132.0/22
ip prefix-list NN permit 45.6.128.0/22
ip prefix-list NN permit 45.65.184.0/22
[...]
When known, use the "::" notation to speicy the authortative data source for
an AS-SET or RS instead of the -S flag.
# PERFORMANCE
To improve \`bgpq4\` performance when expanding extra-large AS-SETs you
shall tune OS settings to enlarge TCP send buffer.
FreeBSD can be tuned in the following way:
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=2097152
Linux can be tuned in the following way:
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=1
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=2097152
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=2097152
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 2097152"
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 65536 2097152"
# BUILDING
This project uses autotools. If you are building from the repository,
run the following command to prepare the build system:
./bootstrap
In order to compile the software, run:
./configure
make
make install
If you wish to remove the generated build system files from your
working tree, run:
make maintainer-clean
In order to create a distribution archive, run:
make dist
# DIAGNOSTICS
When everything is OK,
**bgpq4**
generates access-list to standard output and exits with status == 0.
In case of errors they are printed to stderr and the program exits with
non-zero status.
