  RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.08 released on September 27 2004 - One-liner bug fix in handling unknown optional non-transitive attributes (Bug found and fixed by andrew@supernews.net) RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.07 released on June 8th 2003 - Removed unpack for the ORIGNATOR_ID path attribute, the value should be stored in network byte order (Report by Terra, mlists-bgpd-pl@FutureQuest.net), the same bug occurs in the code for the AGGREGATOR and ADVERTISER path attributes RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.06 released on October 1st 2002 - Fixes provided by Andrew of Supernews <andrew@supernews.net> for the route selection algorithm used to select for a route announced by two or more peers. RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.05 released on June 20th 2002 - Fixes provided Andrew of Supernews <andrew@supernews.net> His coments included below: -------------------- - (critical) the logic of BGP::Neighbor::receive was completely wrong, leading to failure of the session (and many perl warnings) any time that the data returned from sysread() was shorter than expected, which is something that TCP-based applications must _always_ expect and handle. - (annoying) router-id in the config file didn't work at all - (serious) updates where the AS-PATH was present but empty (which is normal for local routes from iBGP peers) were treated as though the AS-PATH were missing (killing the session) - (trivial) changed the dump output format to eliminate whitespace in the prefix output for prefixes smaller than /10 - (performance) most of the time taken to take in a full routing table was being eaten by BGP::Neighbor::log due to doing significant processing before checking the log level. The change I did results in about a 2x speedup with most logging turned off I also changed the logfile open to use append mode, not really a bug but probably more useful in most cases. Stuff I didn't fix: your daemonize function uses a method that would have been archaic 10 years ago, and closing stdin/out/err without reopening them again is a dangerous practice. Check out POSIX::setsid. (I'm not currently using daemon mode for various reasons) ------------------- RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.04 released on December 9th 2001 - fixed bug in AdjRibIn.pm where `!=' was used to compare packed IP addresses. - fixed bug Neighbor.pm where UPDATES with unfeasable routes would not have their new routes processed - fixed bug Neighbor.pm where the closure of a BGP session would not undefine the filehandle, causing errors in socket processing - fixed & redesigned logging RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.03 released on June 21th 2001 beta4: - get rid of logging.pm, have logging functions in BGP and Neighbor modules beta3: - create BGP::Neighbor module, there is now a BGP::Neighbor object - create BGP module, there is now a BGP object - made PathAttribute module, there is now a PathAttribute object beta2: - oob'd %conf (although it is not an object yet), two new elements:$conf{adjRIBin} & $conf{localRIB} - added configuration file support. Neighbors need to be defined in this file otherwise incoming BGP sessions are not accepted. - the routing table dump is now generated after a USR1 signal vs the HUP signal - an overview of the configured BGP sessions can be generated with SIGUSR2 - fixed a bug where route aggregation was going a bit too automagically :-) beta1: - prefixes in adj-RIB-in now reference a Path Attribute hash. This hash is referenced by multiple prefixes if these prefixes are send in one BGP UPDATE message. This should significantly reduce memory consumption. RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.02 releases on May 2nd 2001 - fixed LOCAL_PREF handling for BGP UPDATE messages (bug report by Matthias Cramer <cramer@dolphins.ch>) RELEASE bgpd.pl-0.01 released on April 23rd 2001
