Hi, I've just added the ``-r'' flag to the master branch of babeld, which causes router-ids to be drawn randomly rather than derived from the MAC address of the first interface.
By default, babeld uses a persistent router-id. Most of the time that works fine, but people are running babeld on nodes with no persistent storage, which prevents babeld from storing the latest seqno at shutdown; babeld will then use a random seqno, which may cause it to become unreachable for up to 120 seconds after boot. The ``-r'' flag causes babeld to use a random router id; it's not recommended in general, but may be useful for folks who run babeld on nodes with no persistent storage and that are being rebooted often. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
