[frr] 2 MPLS Questions
by Donald Sharp 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

David/Roopa - Olivier asked me about these two issues yesterday in the FRR Technical Meeting. I just wanted to make sure I didn't loose track of these questions that he had: 1) More than 2 labels in the kernel at a time, when will this be allowed in the kernel? -> David is currently working on this issue. When he is done it will be upstreamed. So soonish(tm). 2) PenUltimate Hop Popping: I know this issue is not trivial to solve. In fact, once the POP instruction perform, the packet must re-enter in the IP packet processing to determine what action must apply. A possible solution would be to process this packet as a new incoming IP packet when output interface is the loopback disregarding the IP address value. But, this issue is less urgent than the first one. Our OSPF Segment Routing implementation could announce if the router works in PenUltimate Hop Poping mode or not. So, for the moment, the option is force to yes. thanks! donald

stable branches
by JR Rivers 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Hi, I noticed that we have branches for stable/2.0 and stable/3.0. A couple of thoughts occur... - the "stable/3.0" branch seems more like a testing branch to me (i.e. on it's way to stable) - there doesn't seem to be a branch/tag that is "latest stable". This can be really useful for people a couple of steps away from the dev crew. cheers, JR

Multi-Topology OSPF
by Jafar Al-Gharaibeh 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Lou, Here is the pointer to MT-OSPF (RFC 4915) : https://github.com/AT-Corp/quagga-atc/tree/master It is based off Quagga as of April 2015 I think, put I pushed bug fixes on top that were necessary to have a stable run. This Initial effort started from https://github.com/tomhenderson/quagga-mtr Two main comments about this if we were to bring it in: 1- Keeping track of the multiple topologies was done using the "old" vrf code which was changed to map each topology to an FIB/kernel-routing-table. Significant changes to VRF was introduced to Quagga in mid 2015 which maps VRFs to network namespaces. Some porting effort is needed to decouple topologies from VRFs and map them to multiple routing tables within the same network namespace. At a later date multiple routing table support was added to Quagga so there is a "straight" and logical way to move forward: just map each topology to a routing table. It should have been done that way from the beginning, but since there was no support for multiple tables in Quagga at the time it was easier to just "hack" VRFs. 2- The current implementation supports 128 topology and it statically allocates tables for all of them and maintain them even if you are using very few toplogies or not using any additional topologies other than the default one. A better approach would be to just allocate/maintain those only if/when they are activated. Cheers, Jafar
