BGP now reports originating AS and origin type in get_route_info().
[thirdparty/bird.git] / TODO
1 Core
2 ~~~~
3 - client: Ctrl-R eats one more enter
4 - client: paging?
5 - client: data losses on large dumps?
6
7 - table: ocassional core dumps in rt_prune()
8
9 Documentation
10 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11 - write doctool
12 - write documentation :|
13
14 Globals
15 ~~~~~~~
16 - right usage of DBG vs. debug
17 - logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
18 - check incoming packets and log errors!!
19 - check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma
20 - check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
21 - try compiling with -Wunused
22 - does everybody test return value of sk_open?
23 - doc: references to RFC's we did follow
24 - protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands
25 - protocols: implement reconfigure hook
26 - protocols: use locking
27 - check use of system includes and sprintf()

29 Various ideas
30 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
31 - static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes?
32 - bgp: timing of updates?
33 - netlink: realms
34 - netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
35 - config: executable config files
36 - filters: user defined attributes?
37 - client: access control
38 - io: use poll if available
39 - IPv6 router advertisements
40 - real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
41 - fake multipath (even less simple)
42 - route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
43 - aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
44 - aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
45 - generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
46 - generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
47 - look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
48 - cli: show tables?

51 OSPF
52 ~~~~
53 - refuse running on non-multicast devices
54 - importing of device routes for networks where we don't run OSPF
55 - check incoming packets using neighbor cache
56 - RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
57 - automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
58 - RFC1587 NSSA areas
59 - RFC2370 opaque LSA's
60 - respect interface MTU and try not to create larger packets unless unavoidable
