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.
Allows to send and receive multiple routes for one network by one BGP
session. Also contains necessary core changes to support this (routing
tables accepting several routes for one network from one protocol).
It needs some more cleanup before merging to the master branch.
It seems that by adding one pipe-specific exception to route
announcement code and by adding one argument to rt_notify() callback i
could completely eliminate the need for the phantom protocol instance
and therefore make the code more straightforward. It will also fix some
minor bugs (like ignoring debug flag changes from the command line).
Allows to add more interface patterns to one common 'options'
section like:
interface "eth3", "eth4" { options common to eth3 and eth4 };
Also removes undocumented and unnecessary ability to specify
more interface patterns with different 'options' sections:
interface "eth3" { options ... }, "eth4" { options ... };
values for MD5 password ID changed during reconfigure, Second
bug is that BIRD chooses password in first-fit manner, but RFC
says that it should use the one with the latest generate-from.
It also modifies the syntax for multiple passwords.
Now it is possible to just add more 'password' statements
to the interface section and it is not needed to use
'passwords' section. Old syntax can be used too.
Bad as when bird e.g. was running for two weeks and then restarted it
would take another two weeks until the peers of this router would accept
data again from this router, as the sequence number would be too low.
Changed to use the the current system time as the starting sequence
number which is a more sane start value.
