Core
 | 
						|
~~~~
 | 
						|
- TOS not supported by kernel -> automatically drop routes with TOS<>0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- config: executable config files
 | 
						|
- config: define ipaddr constants?
 | 
						|
- config: better default protocol names
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- counters (according to SNMP MIB?)
 | 
						|
- better memory allocators
 | 
						|
- default preferences of protocols: prefer BGP over OSPF/RIP external routes?
 | 
						|
- secondary addresses -> subinterfaces or ignore
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- static: check validity of route destination?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- device: configuration of interface patterns
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- adding of route: check whether all bits not covered by masklen are zero
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- incoming packets: interface the packet came from? (esp. for multicasts)
 | 
						|
- broadcast/multicast echoing suppresion
 | 
						|
- we need ifindex at least for PtP links
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- kernel: RTM_F_NOTIFY seems to be unimplemented
 | 
						|
- kernel: RTM_DELROUTE not announced for device routes
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Cleanup
 | 
						|
~~~~~~~
 | 
						|
- right usage of DBG vs. debug
 | 
						|
- cleanup debugging calls
 | 
						|
- logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
 | 
						|
- check incoming packets and log errors!!
 | 
						|
- check log calls for trailing newlines
 | 
						|
- check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
 | 
						|
- replace all NUM's by expr's
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Various ideas
 | 
						|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						|
- real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
 | 
						|
- fake multipath (even less simple)
 | 
						|
- route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
 | 
						|
- aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization
 | 
						|
- aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
 | 
						|
- generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
 | 
						|
- generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
RIP
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
	- RIP: export-only and import-only mode?
 | 
						|
	- drop RIPv1 (Historic protocol)?
 | 
						|
	- Route Tag
 | 
						|
	- limit routing table xfer (frequency, only to neighbors)
 | 
						|
	- multicast on/off (per interface)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
OSPF
 | 
						|
~~~~
 | 
						|
	- importing of device routes for networks where we don't run OSPF
 | 
						|
	- check incoming packets using neighbor cache
 | 
						|
	- stub area: either no external routes or only default route
 | 
						|
	- RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
 | 
						|
	- automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
 | 
						|
	- RFC1587 NSSA areas
 | 
						|
	- RFC2370 opaque LSA's
 | 
						|
	- RFC1793 Demand Circuit Support ??
 | 
						|
	- respect interface MTU and try not to create larger packets unless unavoidable
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
BGP
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
	- in, local, out RIB
 | 
						|
	- maxsize=4096
 | 
						|
	- detection of loops
 | 
						|
	- aggregation, ATOMIC_AGGREGATE
 | 
						|
	- communities
 | 
						|
	- confederations
 | 
						|
	- attributes must be sorted!
 | 
						|
	- re-export of NEXT_HOP attribute
 | 
						|
	- BGP session over currently down interface
 | 
						|
	- LOCAL_PREF attribute
 | 
						|
	- error notification received -> log error
 | 
						|
	- set TTL to 1 (configurable?)
 | 
						|
	- consulting IGP for next-hop information? (what if it changes?)
 | 
						|
	- inter-advertisement delay???!
 | 
						|
	- normalize (sort) incoming AS-SET's
 | 
						|
	- maximum length of AS paths
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	- expected neighbor AS
 | 
						|
	- hold time
 | 
						|
	- idle timer after error: initial value, exponential growth, maximum value
 | 
						|
	- import of IGP routes (use external route tags from OSPF)
