Added `show route for <prefix-or-ipa>' which looks up route leading to
[thirdparty/bird.git] / TODO
1 Core
2 ~~~~
3 - config: try to unify expressions
4
5 - static: check validity of route destination?
6
7 - configure: default CFLAGS?
8
9 - filters: deletion of mandatory attributes?
10 - filters: user defined attributes?
11
12 - cli: show tables?
13
14 - client: Ctrl-R eats one more enter
15 - client: paging?
16 - client: data losses on large dumps?
17
18 - table: ocassional core dumps in rt_prune()
19 - table: do feeding by parts
20
21 - bgp: timing of updates?
22 - bgp: dump and get_route_info
23 - bgp: when protocol is down, don't print Idle state
24
25 - proto: Don't show repeated `Changed state to ...' messages if only internal states change

27 Documentation
28 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
29 - write doctool
30 - write documentation :|
31
32 Globals
33 ~~~~~~~
34 - right usage of DBG vs. debug
35 - kill preconfigs?
36 - check dump functions
37 - cleanup debugging calls
38 - logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
39 - check incoming packets and log errors!!
40 - check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma
41 - check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
42 - replace all NUM, IPA and expr tokens by constant filter expressions
43 - try compiling with -Wunused
44 - does everybody test return value of sk_open?
45 - doc: references to RFC's we did follow
46 - protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands
47 - protocols: implement reconfigure hook
48 - protocols: use locking
49 - check use of system includes and sprintf()

51 Various ideas
52 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
53 - static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes?
54 - netlink: realms
55 - netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
56 - config: executable config files
57 - client: access control
58 - io: use poll if available
59 - IPv6 router advertisements
60 - real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
61 - fake multipath (even less simple)
62 - route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
63 - aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
64 - aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
65 - generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
66 - generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
67 - look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)

70 OSPF
71 ~~~~
72 - refuse running on non-multicast devices
73 - importing of device routes for networks where we don't run OSPF
74 - check incoming packets using neighbor cache
75 - RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
76 - automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
77 - RFC1587 NSSA areas
78 - RFC2370 opaque LSA's
79 - respect interface MTU and try not to create larger packets unless unavoidable
