I am also looking forward to see this feature in Bird enabled. The
latest improvements in routing stack which will be presented to wider
audience with the upcoming release of FreeBSD 13 are really impressive.
Since a longer while I am using two instances of Bird 1.6.8 running on
FreeBSD and after update to 13.0-STABLE it got real performance boost,
especially due to availability to take advantage of DPDK route
lookups[1] which can be assisted with automatic routing algo switching.[2]
