[PATCH 2/3] babel: Add support for the RTT extension
Toke Høiland-Jørgensen
toke at toke.dk
Sun Feb 26 23:10:05 CET 2023
This adds support to the Babel protocol for the RTT extension specified in
draft-ietf-babel-rtt-extension. While this extension is not yet at the RFC
stage, it is one of the more useful extensions to Babel[0], so it seems
worth having in Bird as well.
The extension adds timestamps to Hello and IHU TLVs and uses these to
compute an RTT to each neighbour. An extra per-neighbour cost is then
computed from the RTT based on a minimum and maximum interval and cost
value specified in the configuration. The primary use case for this is
improving routing in a geographically distributed tunnel-based overlay
network.
The implementation follows the babeld implementation when picking constants
and default configuration values. It also uses the same RTT smoothing
algorithm as babeld, and follows it in adding a new 'tunnel' interface type
which enables RTT by default.
