Hello,
I noticed a bug in your BMP collector implementation.
See RFC 7854:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7854#section-4.2
o Peer Address: The remote IP address associated with the TCP
session over which the encapsulated PDU was received. It is 4
bytes long if an IPv4 address is carried in this field (with the
12 most significant bytes zero-filled) and 16 bytes long if an
IPv6 address is carried in this field.
If the peer-address is an IPv4 address, the format should be:
12 bytes with value zero, followed by 4 bytes with the IPv4 address
It seems your BMP implementation expects:
4 bytes with the IPv4 address, followed by 12 bytes with value zero
That's wrong.
See the RFC.
As a result, your BMP collector will always report IPv4-peers as
0.0.0.0.
The same problem happens with the local-address in the peer-up message.
Also always wrongly reported as 0.0.0.0.
I checked, and existing implementations of BMP in routers follow the
RFC.
I suggest your fix the problem on Ryu's end.
The fix should be easy, but I am not working on Ryu, so I am not going
to fix this myself.
Is there still ongoing development of the BMP part of Ryu ?
An obvious bug like this would seem to indicate that very few people are
using Ryu's BMP ?
Or else maybe everybody is using IPv6 ? With IPv6 all 16 bytes in the
address are used, so in that case, there is no confusion and no bug.
Thanks in advance,
henk.
