Feature requests

[Ondrej Zajicek]

Hello

We (BIRD developers) would like to know which major features you miss in
BIRD and would like to be implemented. If you have some opinions on that
issue, please write suggested features together with several sentences
about why you think that is the feature we should implement or why you
need that. This inquiry is oriented on long-term, major features, but
if you have some minor requests, you are also welcome.

Our current short-term plan is to fix RIP (and multipath for RIP)
and implement Route Origin Authorization / RPKI drafts for BGP.


Some examples:

OSPF NSSA
OSPF opaque LSAs
.. or some other OSPF extensions
BGP confederations
BGP extended communities
.. or some other BGP extensions
MRT routing table dumps
Some monitoring/statistics integration (SNMP, collectd ...)
Route aggregation engine
Static routes depedent on ping reachability
BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection)
IS-IS
Some ad-hoc wireless routing like OSPF MANET or OLSR
Multicast routing?

.. or perhaps no new big features, just some more work to already
implemented areas?


BTW, from these examples, my personal preference is currently on BFD.
