Fixed a bunch of FIXME's by removing them :)
[thirdparty/bird.git] / TODO
1 Core
2 ~~~~
3 - config: when parsing prefix, check zero bits
4
5 - static: check validity of route destination?
6 - static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes?
7
8 - krt: rescan interfaces when route addition fails?
9
10 - tagging of external routes?
11
12 Commands
13 ~~~~~~~~
14 - showing of routing table as seen by given protocol
15 - printing of dynamic attributes
16
17 Documentation
18 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
19 - write doctool
20 - write documentation :|
21
22 Globals
23 ~~~~~~~
24 - right usage of DBG vs. debug
25 - cleanup debugging calls
26 - logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
27 - check incoming packets and log errors!!
28 - check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma
29 - check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
30 - replace all NUM, IPA and expr tokens by constant filter expressions
31 - try compiling with -Wunused
32 - does everybody test return value of sk_open?
33 - doc: references to RFC's we did follow
34 - protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands
35 - protocols: implement reconfigure hook
36 - protocols: use locking
37
38 Various ideas
39 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
40 - netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
41 - config: executable config files
42 - client: access control
43 - io: use poll if available
44 - IPv6 router advertisements
45 - real multipath (doesn't seem to be simple at all :()
46 - fake multipath (even less simple)
47 - route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
48 - aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
49 - aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
50 - generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
51 - generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
52 - look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
53
54
55 RIP
56 ~~~
57
58 OSPF
59 ~~~~
60 - refuse running on non-multicast devices
61 - importing of device routes for networks where we don't run OSPF
62 - check incoming packets using neighbor cache
63 - RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
64 - automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
65 - RFC1587 NSSA areas
66 - RFC2370 opaque LSA's
67 - respect interface MTU and try not to create larger packets unless unavoidable
