Google changes to Quagga now available on code.google.com

Hi all;

I'd like to announce a newly set up git repo at code.google.com, where I
will be releasing changes by Google to Quagga - both features and fixes.

The first branch I've made available implements BGP multipath (by our own
Barry Friedman).

I will be announcing/adding further features in the coming weeks, and
we have plans in the works with our friends at the ISC to provide SQA
coverage for all these changes.

Here's a quick cheat sheet on how to obtain and build the BGP multipath
feature:

> $ git clone https://code.google.com/p/google-quagga/ bgp-multipath
> $ cd bgp-multipath
> $ git checkout bgp-multipath
> $ ./bootstrap.sh
> $ ./configure
> $ make

Any questions, please let me know!

Thanks,

--
Josh Bailey

Hm, interesting, I only had time for a quick glaze but it seems your
implementation might not even break BGP completely... still, very touchy
subject there.

I'll definitely merge this into -dn42, we'll notice if it explodes
something.

Oh yes, quagga direly needs QA.

Yeah, you wouldn't be hiring by chance? *g*

Thank you sir! More patches (and SQA results) on the way. If you've any
especial concerns where you think we could concentrate additional testing
effort please let me know.

Hi All,

New ISIS branch is pushed to google public repository.
http://code.google.com/p/google-quagga/source/browse/?name=is-is

This branch has support for new features and bug fixes.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here are the steps to enable ISIS:

> $ git clone https://code.google.com/p/**google-quagga/
> <https://code.google.com/p/google-quagga/>$ cd google-quagga
> $ git checkout is-is
> $ ./bootstrap.sh
> $ ./configure --enable-vtysh --enable-isisd --enable-multipath=0
> $ make
> $ make install

Special thanks to Josh for taking care of all the logistics.

Thank You,

Hello, Subbaiah.

Thank you for publishing this work. This is the second publication in the name of Google, and the final goal, as far as I take it, is to converge the branches in foreseeable future. It will require some work on the project's side as well.

I have briefly studied the contents of commits b1b73b9 and f17b498. First of all, proofreading is hard, because changes are not isolated from each other, the change to IS-IS, BGP, library functions, zserv and indentation are mixed together. Just in case the changes were originally made and verified in some ordered way and later joined in a single commit for the sole purpose of publication, discussing the original isolated changes one at a time would help making through the merge. Is it possible?

Then, there is a series of IS-IS commits, which noone was able to verify so far:

d83bf5a
30a7558
dfafeae
b775c38
9632e3e

The commit IDs belong to quagga-RE repo only. Do you have the time and will to review these? They seem to be very closely related.

Considering that isisd is still "experimental", i would merge these with
"doesn't let hell break loose" as merge criterium.

I've just taken a look at the branch. Honestly, WTF? It comes as 2
patches with 518 / 130 hunks each, touching the entirety of isisd and
some files outside of isis?!

Please, please, split this into small reviewable patches. Patches that
touch things outside isisd/ need to be specially separated and explained
with proper comments.

Also, please do not mix whitespace/indent changes with code changes; if
you want to reindent code, that should be a separate patch that does
nothing else.

Cheers,

-David

Hi David;

Sorry about that - my fault. My intent here was to expedite the
availability of the code to the community and to the ISC for testing.

Clearly will need to come up with the right iterative approach to handle
large feature changes. Regarding the IS-IS changes specifically for
example. Would you be able to advise what areas we should prioritise for
repatching/commenting/for review? Idea of course is to come up with a
reusable process.

Agree, converging the branches is good for all of us in the community.

Quagga ISIS was not in a production ready state. I have touched almost all
parts of ISIS code and it take lot of time to cherry pick and get them
reviewed one at a time. Frankly there are 100s of changes. I think a
protocol code should go into slow moving small piece meal change reviews
when it gets into a maintenance mode, which ISIS is not in that state yet.
So I suggest we merge the code, test and commit to the head.

Aside from the obvious (creating small, reviewable, well-described
patches), I'd recommend sorting by "impact divided by semantic size"
factor. That would mean indentation/whitespace changes first (since they
have a semantic size of 0), then crash fixes (very large impact...),
then other bug fixes, etc.

I can't tell you how that boils down for isisd, my knowledge of this
part of Quagga is somewhat limited and I'm chronically short on time to
read code.

I would guess that the current interest in IS-IS is in part due to TRILL
and PBB SPB (802.1aq) both relying on IS-IS. If your employer's interest
is in TRILL, I would heavily recommend taking a look at
http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-userland/components/quagga/patches/
(in particular 70-isisd-trill.patch)

It would also make sense to submit patches as you develop them, not in
one giant batch. It is far easier to merge a patch or two per day over a
month than a pile of 50 in one go. But, alas, quagga maintainership
still works in a very ad-hoc pseudorandom "i need this and that" basis,
so getting /anything/ merged depends on available time and fancy of very
few people.

Cheers,

-David

reconsider deprecating AS_SETs, try use Add-Path instead in some way)?

Paul,

I reread this thread and I'm not sure what is driving your question.
As I know Warren Kumari, one of the authors of the draft, I CCed him
directly. Can you elaborate a bit on what you see needing to be dealt
with?

Thanks,
Scott

I had a look through the code. If I understand correctly it creates an
aggregate to deal with merging routes where the attributes differ (a good
thing, in my book). So my question is how this fits in IDR having
deprecated the AS_SET segment type in AS_PATH attribute (which what is
used to merge together the ASNs)?

This doesn't have any material affect on the changeset, for now. I'm just
wondering have you thought about the future, and what happens should
AS_SET go from just deprecated to not-supported-at-all by any widely-used
future implementation?
