This is more consistent with common usage and also with the behavior of
other implementations (Cisco, Juniper).
Also changes the default for gw mode to be based solely on
direct/multihop.
Neighbor events related to received route next hops got mixed up with
sticky neighbor node for an IP of the BGP peer. If a neighbor for a next
hop disappears, BGP session is shut down.
Interfaces for OSPF and RIP could be configured to use (and request)
TTL 255 for traffic to direct neighbors.
Thanks to Simon Dickhoven for the original patch for RIPng.
Implements support for IPv6 traffic class, sets higher priority for OSPF
and RIP outgoing packets by default and allows to configure ToS/DS/TClass
IP header field and the local priority of outgoing packets.
BIRD used zero netmask in hello packets on all PtP links, not just on
unnumbered ones. This patch fixes it and adds option 'ptp netmask'
for overriding the default behavior.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the original patch.
Configured NBMA neighbors in OSPFv3 should be link-local addresses, old
behavior was to silently ignore global ones. The patch allows BIRD to
accept global ones, but adds a warning and a documentation notice.
Thanks to Wilco Baan Hofman for the bugreport.
The RAdv protocol could be configured to change its behavior based on
availability of routes, e.g., do not announce router lifetime when a
default route is not available.
Router ID could be automatically determined based of subset of
ifaces/addresses specified by 'router id from' option. The patch also
does some minor changes related to router ID reconfiguration.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for most of the work.
Although it is a slight deviation from the standard, it has no ill
consequences for OSPFv2 and the change fixes a compatibility issue
with some broken implementations.
