in case anyone can review the new babel rules cerowrt is using: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dave Taht <dave.t...@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 1:33 AM Subject: hopefully better babeld configuration To: "cerowrt-de...@lists.bufferbloat.net" <cerowrt-de...@lists.bufferbloat.net>
Upcoming in the next release of cerowrt is a change to the wire format of babeld's source specific routing stuff, which will (sigh) render this release of babeld, if you are using source specific routing, incompatible with all prior releases. Given that that is such a big change, I've also been running with some improved babel rules that do better metrics, export 1/8th the routes, and are cleaner to configure. IF you are using source specific babeld on cerowrt, those configuration file changes can be applied today by snagging the three files from: http://snapon.lab.bufferbloat.net/~cero2/newbabeld/ and putting the files in: firewall.user /etc babeld in /etc/config/ babeld.conf /etc/babeld.conf I am not sure if I got the ipv6 stuff right with how it integrates with dhcpd-pd and hnetd nor if I'm correctly exporting a source specific ipv4 gateway... but am not in a position to test ipv6 til friday, and for all I know these rules can be improved. Basically, we add an unreachable route for the /24 cerowrt cuts it's /27s out of, then filter out the /27 announcements, so just the "unreachable" route is announced (as reachable, and no I can't explain how this works). I would have liked it if I could have found a way to express the /24 route in /etc/config/network rather than in /etc/firewall.user but so far no luck. A problem this induces is that if you change your default network number, you also have to change the unreachable covering route in /etc/firewall.user Formerly we re-exported routes on each interface with a new metric (which was basically wrong in the first place) -- Dave Täht NSFW: https://w2.eff.org/Censorship/Internet_censorship_bills/russell_0296_indecent.article -- Dave Täht NSFW: https://w2.eff.org/Censorship/Internet_censorship_bills/russell_0296_indecent.article _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
