bird 1.6.3

    1: Core
    2: ~~~~
    3: - socket open failure should not be fatal
    4: - &&,||: priorities
    5: - static: allow specifying a per-route filter program for setting route attributes?
    6: 
    7: Globals
    8: ~~~~~~~
    9: - right usage of DBG vs. debug
   10: - logging and tracing; use appropriate log levels
   11: - check incoming packets and log errors!!
   12: - check log calls for trailing newlines and log levels followed by comma
   13: - check if all protocols set proper packet priorities and TTL's.
   14: - try compiling with -Wunused
   15: - does everybody test return value of sk_open?
   16: - protocols: implement CLI hooks and per-procotol CLI commands
   17: - protocols: implement reconfigure hook
   18: - protocols: use locking
   19: - check use of system includes and sprintf()
   20: 
   21: Various ideas
   22: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   23: - client: Ctrl-R eats one more enter
   24: - bgp: timing of updates?
   25: - netlink: import Linux route attributes to our rta's, so that they can be filtered?
   26: - config: executable config files
   27: - filters: user defined attributes?
   28: - io: use poll if available
   29: - route recalculation timing and flap dampening [see RFC2439 for algorithms]
   30: - aggregate engine: standard route aggregation and summarization [RFC2519]
   31: - aggregate engine: injection of manually configured pseudo-static routes
   32: - generate default route if any working BGP connection exists (aggregate engine again?)
   33: - generate default route to IGP's (aggregate engine yet another time?)
   34: - look at RFC 2386 (QoS-based routing)
   35: - cli: show tables?
   36: 
   37: OSPF
   38: ~~~~
   39: 	- check incoming packets using neighbor cache
   40: 	- RFC2328 appendix E: Use a better algorithm
   41: 	- automatic generation of external route tags (RFC1403)
   42: 	- RFC2370 opaque LSA's
   43: 	- Limit export rate of external LSAs (like Gated does)
   44: 	- Bugfix in link state retransmission list (aging)
   45: 	- Graceful OSPF restart - RFC3623
