I don't think BFD protocol integration has changed much (the `lib/bfd.h` part), if we are only talking about integration. Since 5.0 I can think of four big changes: - Added support for Control Plane Independent bit (by Philippe Guibert from 6Wind) - Added VRF support: allow a instance to create session in multiple VRFs (also from Phillipe) - Some daemons have BFD integration command using northbound (e.g. YANG models) - (not commited yet) a separated function to replace the old zebra talking function (see PR https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/6437 ), the old one should still works ( see bfd_peer_sendmsg ) When you fast-forward to `master` you'll probably only need to adjust function call to include extra parameters (or change for the new function). The BFD daemon code itself otherwise has gone through heavy changes, but protocol integration has seen very little change since we keep compatibility with ptm-bfd (Cumulus External daemon). It will only be a problem if you want to modify BFD daemon code. I think the biggest challenge of implementing eigrp in FRR 5.0 is the lack of northbound support. We already have EIGRP YANG models and working CLI using northbound in newer versions. > > >Is there any interest in including EIGRP in the full FRR feature set? > > Yes, but we have an existing EIGRP implementation that is currently being worked on by others. Unfortunately, this development practice of creating whole features in private and then publishing them all at once has, time and again, proved very difficult to support for a collaborative free software project that moves as fast as we do :(. In any case we'd certainly be interested in the code to see what can be done. I agree... Maybe we should write some more literature educating people to slowly integrate required code before merging a big feature (avoid the all-or-nothing and rebase-hell problems). > > P.s.

EIGRP
by FREIVALD, JOSEPH A 12 Jun '20

12 Jun '20

Hello, The last couple years I have been working on a side project to implement a fully functional and tested version of EIGRP based on FRR release 5.0. That work is largely complete and I would like to share with the community but it will likely require significant grooming to match the coding style requirements and stage the multiple merge requests required integrate it with the dev code-base. Unfortunately I don't have time to do that. This implementation behaves very well in complex Cisco-based networks with only one 'on-the-wire' deviation from Cisco's behavior (sending individual REPLY messages for each prefix in a bulk QUERY instead of bundling them, which only results in slightly more traffic and processor usage and doesn't affect network the topology). The latest version includes clean Stuck-in-active behavior as well. Current work is adding BFD to EIGRP using the 5.0 OSPF BFD implementation as a pony. I have two questions: 1. Are there any defects in the 5.0 implementation of BFD that I should be aware of and/or backport BFD fixes from 7.2? 2. Is there any interest in including EIGRP in the full FRR feature set? Thanks, Joseph A. T.

All - During today's Tech meeting we decided that we needed to review this rather large PR a bit more closely as a group in separate meetings. I would like to call a meeting at 1pm EDT on June 15. If you are interested in attending please send me a note that you would like to attend the meeting and I will get you an invite. My expectations is that people attending the meeting should have scanned the PR and come ready with concerns/questions/suggestions PR: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/6515 Doc commit: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/pull/6515/commits/8bb4a4ace113675788153cc0… If you would like to attend the meeting please let me know and I will get you an invite. thanks! donald

nexthop-tracking questions
by Mark Stapp 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

I've got a couple of questions about nexthop-tracking in zebra - these are a bit down in the details, but I thought I'd ask if any of the folks on the list have some insight... 1. the nht code makes a copy (mostly) of the route_entry that satisfies some client registration. the code copies all of the nexthops - even the recursive ones, even ones that are not ACTIVE. the code that sends nexthops to the nht client(s) has an rnh_nexthop_valid() function that is pretty strict about what will actually be sent. would it be reasonable to have the nht code capture only a list of the nexthops that are actually valid, that actually will be sent to the clients? 2. the show command for nht, ‘sho ip nht’, only shows the top-level nexthops - not the actual installed nexthops that, again, will be sent to the clients. would it be ok to change that, to try to have the show command show what will actually be sent to clients? 3. the route-map filtering there also operates only on the top-level nexthops, not the exact ones that are "valid" and will be sent to clients. is that intentional, or should the route-map get a shot at the nexthops that the nht code would try to send? Thanks, Mark
