+Docker
+======
+
+This page covers how to build FRR Docker images.
+
+Images
+""""""
+FRR has Docker build infrastructure to produce Docker images containing
+source-built FRR on the following base platforms:
+
+* Alpine
+* Centos 7
+* Centos 8
+
+The following platform images are used to support Travis CI and can also
+be used to reproduce topotest failures when the docker host is Ubuntu
+(tested on 18.04 and 20.04):
+
+* Ubuntu 18.04
+* Ubuntu 20.04
+
+The following platform images may also be built, but these simply install a
+binary package from an existing repository and do not perform source builds:
+
+* Debian 10
+
+Some of these are available on `DockerHub
+<https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/frrouting/frr/tags?page=1>`_.
+
+There is no guarantee on what is and is not available from DockerHub at time of
+writing.
+
+Scripts
+"""""""
+
+Some platforms contain an included build script that may be run from the host.
+This will set appropriate packaging environment variables and clean up
+intermediate build images.
+
+These scripts serve another purpose. They allow building platform packages
+without needing the platform. For example, the Centos 8 docker image can also
+be leveraged to build Centos 8 RPMs that can then be used separately from
+Docker.
+
+If you are only interested in the Docker images and don't want the cleanup
+functionality of the scripts you can ignore them and perform a normal Docker
+build. If you want to build multi-arch docker images this is required as the
+scripts do not support using Buildkit for multi-arch builds.
+
+Building Alpine Image
+---------------------
+
+Script::
+
+   ./docker/alpine/build.sh
+
+No script::
+
+   docker build -f docker/alpine/Dockerfile .

+
+No script::
+
+   docker build -f docker/ubi-8/Dockerfile .
+
+No script, multi-arch (ex. amd64, arm64)::
+
+   docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -f docker/ubi-8/Dockerfile -t frr-ubi-8:latest .
+
+
+
+Building Ubuntu 18.04 Image
+---------------------------
+
+Build image (from project root directory)::
+
+   docker build -t frr-ubuntu18:latest  -f docker/ubuntu18-ci/Dockerfile .
+
+Start the container::
+
+   docker run -d --privileged --name frr-ubuntu18 --mount type=bind,source=/lib/modules,target=/lib/modules frr-ubuntu18:latest
+
+Running a topotest (when the docker host is Ubuntu)::
+
+   docker exec frr-ubuntu18 bash -c 'cd ~/frr/tests/topotests/ospf-topo1 ; sudo pytest test_ospf_topo1.py'
+
+Starting an interactive bash session::
+
+   docker exec -it frr-ubuntu18 bash
+
+Stopping an removing a container::
+
+   docker stop frr-ubuntu18 ; docker rm frr-ubuntu18
+
+Removing the built image::
+
+   docker rmi frr-ubuntu18:latest
+
+
+Building Ubuntu 20.04 Image
+---------------------------
+
+Build image (from project root directory)::
+
+   docker build -t frr-ubuntu20:latest  -f docker/ubuntu20-ci/Dockerfile .
+
+Start the container::
+
+   docker run -d --privileged --name frr-ubuntu20 --mount type=bind,source=/lib/modules,target=/lib/modules frr-ubuntu20:latest

+Alpine Linux 3.7+
+=========================================================
+
+For building Alpine Linux dev packages, we use docker.
+
+Install docker 17.05 or later
+-----------------------------
+
+Depending on your host, there are different ways of installing docker.  Refer
+to the documentation here for instructions on how to install a free version of
+docker: https://www.docker.com/community-edition
+
+Pre-built packages and docker images
+------------------------------------
+
+The master branch of https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git has a
+continuous delivery of docker images to docker hub at:
+https://hub.docker.com/r/ajones17/frr/. These images have the frr packages
+in /pkgs/apk and have the frr package pre-installed.  To copy Alpine
+packages out of these images:
+
+::
+
+   id=`docker create ajones17/frr:latest`
+   docker cp ${id}:/pkgs _some_directory_
+   docker rm $id
+
+To run the frr daemons (see below for how to configure them):
+
+::
+
+   docker run -it --rm --name frr ajones17/frr:latest
+   docker exec -it frr /bin/sh
+
+Work with sources
+-----------------
+
+::
+
+   git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+   cd frr
+
+Build apk packages
+------------------
+
+::
+
+   ./docker/alpine/build.sh
+
+This will put the apk packages in:
+
+::
+
+   ./docker/pkgs/apk/x86_64/
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To create a base image with the frr packages installed:
+
+::
+
+   docker build --rm -f docker/alpine/Dockerfile -t frr:latest .
+
+Or, if you don't have a git checkout of the sources, you can build a base
+image directly off the github account:
+
+::
+
+   docker build --rm -f docker/alpine/Dockerfile -t frr:latest \
+	https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git
+
+And to run the image:
+
+::
+
+   docker run -it --rm --name frr frr:latest
+
+In the default configuration, none of the frr daemons will  be running.
+To configure the daemons, exec into the container and edit the configuration
+files or mount a volume with configuration files into the container on
+startup.  To configure by hand:
+
+::
+
+   docker exec -it frr /bin/sh
+   vi /etc/frr/daemons
+   /etc/init.d/frr start
+
+Or, to configure the daemons using /etc/frr from a host volume, put the
+config files in, say, ./docker/etc and bind mount that into the
+container:
+

+
+Tweak sysctls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some sysctls need to be changed in order to enable IPv4/IPv6 forwarding and
+MPLS (if supported by your platform). If your platform does not support MPLS,
+skip the MPLS related configuration in this section.
+
+Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` [*Create the file if it doesn't exist*] and
+append the following values (ignore the other settings):
+
+::
+
+   # Enable packet forwarding for IPv4
+   net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+
+   #  Enable packet forwarding for IPv6
+   net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+
+Reboot or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running system.
+
+Add MPLS kernel modules
+"""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+To
+enable, add the following lines to :file:`/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`:
+
+::
+
+   # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
+   mpls_router
+   mpls_iptunnel
+
+
+And load the kernel modules on the running system:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo modprobe mpls-router mpls-iptunnel
+
+Enable MPLS Forwarding
+""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and the following lines. Make sure to add a line
+equal to :file:`net.mpls.conf.eth0.input` for each interface used with MPLS.
+
+::
+
+   # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
+   net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
+   net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
+   net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1

+CentOS 6
+========================================
+
+This document describes installation from source. If you want to build an RPM,
+see :ref:`packaging-redhat`.
+
+Instructions are tested with ``CentOS 6.8`` on ``x86_64`` platform
+
+Warning:
+--------
+``CentOS 6`` is very old and not fully supported by the FRR community
+anymore. Building FRR takes multiple manual steps to update the build
+system with newer packages than what's available from the archives.
+However, the built packages can still be installed afterwards on
+a standard ``CentOS 6`` without any special packages.
+
+Support for CentOS 6 is now on a best-effort base by the community.
+
+CentOS 6 restrictions:
+----------------------
+
+-  PIMd is not supported on ``CentOS 6``. Upgrade to ``CentOS 7`` if
+   PIMd is needed
+-  MPLS is not supported on ``CentOS 6``. MPLS requires Linux Kernel 4.5
+   or higher (LDP can be built, but may have limited use without MPLS)
+-  Zebra is unable to detect what bridge/vrf an interface is associated
+   with (IFLA\_INFO\_SLAVE\_KIND does not exist in the kernel headers,
+   you can use a newer kernel + headers to get this functionality)
+-  frr\_reload.py will not work, as this requires Python 2.7, and CentOS
+   6 only has 2.6. You can install Python 2.7 via IUS, but it won't work
+   properly unless you compile and install the ipaddr package for it.
+-  Building the package requires Sphinx >= 1.1. Only a non-standard
+   package provides a newer sphinx and requires manual installation
+   (see below)
+
+
+Install required packages
+-------------------------
+
+Add packages:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   sudo yum install git autoconf automake libtool make \
+      readline-devel texinfo net-snmp-devel groff pkgconfig \
+      json-c-devel pam-devel flex epel-release c-ares-devel libcap-devel \
+      elfutils-libelf-devel
+
+Install newer version of bison (CentOS 6 package source is too old) from CentOS
+7:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   sudo yum install rpm-build
+   curl -O http://vault.centos.org/7.0.1406/os/Source/SPackages/bison-2.7-4.el7.src.rpm
+   rpmbuild --rebuild ./bison-2.7-4.el7.src.rpm
+   sudo yum install ./rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/bison-2.7-4.el6.x86_64.rpm
+   rm -rf rpmbuild
+
+Install newer version of autoconf and automake (Package versions are too old):
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
+   tar xvf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
+   cd autoconf-2.69
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr
+   make
+   sudo make install
+   cd ..
+
+   curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz
+   tar xvf automake-1.15.tar.gz
+   cd automake-1.15
+   ./configure --prefix=/usr
+   make
+   sudo make install
+   cd ..
+
+Install ``Python 2.7`` in parallel to default 2.6. Make sure you've install
+EPEL (``epel-release`` as above). Then install current ``python27``:
+``python27-devel`` and ``pytest``
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   sudo rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
+   sudo rpm -ivh https://centos6.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
+   sudo yum install python27 python27-pip python27-devel
+   sudo pip2.7 install pytest
+
+Please note that ``CentOS 6`` needs to keep python pointing to version 2.6 for
+``yum`` to keep working, so don't create a symlink for python2.7 to python.
+
+Install newer ``Sphinx-Build`` based on ``Python 2.7``.
+
+Create a new repo ``/etc/yum.repos.d/puias6.repo`` with the following contents:
+
+::
+
+   ### Name: RPM Repository for RHEL 6 - PUIAS (used for Sphinx-Build)
+   ### URL: http://springdale.math.ias.edu/data/puias/computational
+   [puias-computational]
+   name = RPM Repository for RHEL 6 - Sphinx-Build
+   baseurl = http://springdale.math.ias.edu/data/puias/computational/$releasever/$basearch
+   #mirrorlist =
+   enabled = 1
+   protect = 0
+   gpgkey =
+   gpgcheck = 0
+
+Update rpm database & Install newer sphinx
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   sudo yum update
+   sudo yum install python27-sphinx
+
+Install libyang and its dependencies:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   sudo yum install pcre-devel doxygen cmake
+   git clone https://github.com/CESNET/libyang.git
+   cd libyang
+   git checkout 090926a89d59a3c4000719505d563aaf6ac60f2
+   mkdir build ; cd build
+   cmake -DENABLE_LYD_PRIV=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:String="Release" ..
+   make build-rpm
+   sudo yum install ./rpms/RPMS/x86_64/libyang-0.16.111-0.x86_64.rpm ./rpms/RPMS/x86_64/libyang-devel-0.16.111-0.x86_64.rpm
+   cd ../..

+Debian 8
+========================================
+
+Debian 8 restrictions:
+----------------------
+
+-  MPLS is not supported on ``Debian 8`` with default kernel. MPLS
+   requires Linux Kernel 4.5 or higher (LDP can be built, but may have
+   limited use without MPLS)
+
+Install required packages
+-------------------------
+
+Add packages:
+
+::
+
+   sudo apt-get install git autoconf automake libtool make \
+      libreadline-dev texinfo libjson-c-dev pkg-config bison flex python3-pip \
+      libc-ares-dev python3-dev python3-sphinx build-essential \
+      libsnmp-dev libcap-dev libelf-dev
+
+Install newer pytest (>3.0) from pip
+
+::
+
+    sudo pip3 install pytest
+
+.. include:: building-libyang.rst
+
+Get FRR, compile it and install it (from Git)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+**This assumes you want to build and install FRR from source and not
+using any packages**
+
+Add frr groups and user
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+::
+
+    sudo addgroup --system --gid 92 frr
+    sudo addgroup --system --gid 85 frrvty
+    sudo adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/run/frr/ \
+       --gecos "FRR suite" --shell /bin/false frr
+    sudo usermod -a -G frrvty frr
+
+Download Source, configure and compile it
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+(You may prefer different options on configure statement. These are just
+an example.)
+
+::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+    cd frr
+    ./bootstrap.sh
+    ./configure \
+        --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \

+    make
+    make check
+    sudo make install
+

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+::

+    sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr

+    sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty /dev/null /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+
+Enable IP & IPv6 forwarding
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Edit ``/etc/sysctl.conf`` and uncomment the following values (ignore the
+other settings)
+
+::
+
+    # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
+    net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+
+    # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv6
+    #  Enabling this option disables Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
+    #  based on Router Advertisements for this host
+    net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+
+**Reboot** or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running
+system
+
+Troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Local state directory**
+
+The local state directory must exist and have the correct permissions
+applied for the frrouting daemons to start. In the above ./configure
+example the local state directory is set to /var/run/frr
+(--localstatedir=/var/run/frr) Debian considers /var/run/frr to be
+temporary and this is removed after a reboot.
+
+When using a different local state directory you need to create the new
+directory and change the ownership to the frr user, for example:
+
+::
+
+    mkdir /var/opt/frr
+    chown frr /var/opt/frr
+
+**Shared library error**
+
+If you try and start any of the frrouting daemons you may see the below
+error due to the frrouting shared library directory not being found:
+
+::
+
+    ./zebra: error while loading shared libraries: libfrr.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+
+The fix is to add the following line to /etc/ld.so.conf which will
+continue to reference the library directory after the system reboots. To
+load the library directory path immediately run the ldconfig command
+after adding the line to the file eg:
+
+::
+
+    echo include /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
+    ldconfig

+Fedora 24+
+==========
+
+This document describes installation from source. If you want to build an RPM,
+see :ref:`packaging-redhat`.
+
+These instructions have been tested on Fedora 24+.
+
+Installing Dependencies
+-----------------------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo dnf install git autoconf automake libtool make \
+     readline-devel texinfo net-snmp-devel groff pkgconfig json-c-devel \
+     pam-devel python3-pytest bison flex c-ares-devel python3-devel \

+
+.. include:: building-libunwind-note.rst
+

+
+Building & Installing FRR
+-------------------------
+
+Add FRR user and groups
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo groupadd -g 92 frr
+   sudo groupadd -r -g 85 frrvty
+   sudo useradd -u 92 -g 92 -M -r -G frrvty -s /sbin/nologin \
+     -c "FRR FRRouting suite" -d /var/run/frr frr
+
+Compile
+^^^^^^^
+
+.. include:: include-compile.rst
+
+Install FRR configuration files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
+   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons.conf /etc/frr/daemons.conf
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons
+
+Tweak sysctls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some sysctls need to be changed in order to enable IPv4/IPv6 forwarding and
+MPLS (if supported by your platform). If your platform does not support MPLS,
+skip the MPLS related configuration in this section.
+
+Create a new file ``/etc/sysctl.d/90-routing-sysctl.conf`` with the following
+content:
+
+::
+
+   #
+   # Enable packet forwarding
+   #
+   net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1
+   net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+   #
+   # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
+   #
+   #net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
+   #net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
+   #net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
+   #net.mpls.platform_labels=100000
+
+.. note::
+
+   MPLS must be invidividually enabled on each interface that requires it. See
+   the example in the config block above.
+
+Load the modified sysctls on the system:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/90-routing-sysctl.conf
+
+Create a new file ``/etc/modules-load.d/mpls.conf`` with the following content:
+
+::
+
+   # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
+   mpls-router
+   mpls-iptunnel
+
+And load the kernel modules on the running system:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo modprobe mpls-router mpls-iptunnel
+
+
+.. note::
+   Fedora ships with the ``firewalld`` service enabled. You may run into some
+   issues with the iptables rules it installs by default. If you wish to just
+   stop the service and clear `ALL` rules do these commands:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      sudo systemctl disable firewalld.service
+      sudo systemctl stop firewalld.service
+      sudo iptables -F
+
+Install frr Service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo install -p -m 644 tools/frr.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/frr.service
+   sudo systemctl enable frr
+
+Enable daemons
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Open :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` with your text editor of choice. Look for the
+section with ``watchfrr_enable=...`` and ``zebra=...`` etc.  Enable the daemons
+as required by changing the value to ``yes``.
+
+Start FRR
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   sudo systemctl start frr

+
+Get FRR, compile it and install it (from Git)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+**This assumes you want to build and install FRR from source and not
+using any packages**
+
+Add frr group and user
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+::
+
+    groupadd -g 525 _frr
+    groupadd -g 526 _frrvty
+    useradd -g 525 -u 525 -c "FRR suite" -G _frrvty \

+
+Download Source, configure and compile it
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+(You may prefer different options on configure statement. These are just
+an example)
+
+.. warning::
+
+   In openbsd the proper links for the libyang library may not have been created.
+
+::
+
+    ln -s /usr/lib/libyang.so.1.10.17 /usr/lib/libyang.so
+
+.. warning::
+
+   ``openbsd`` since version 6.2 has ``clang`` as the default compiler so to 
+   build frr, clang must be used (the included gcc version is very old).
+
+::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+    cd frr
+    export AUTOCONF_VERSION="2.69"
+    export AUTOMAKE_VERSION="1.15"

+        CC=clang
+    gmake
+    gmake check
+    doas gmake install
+
+Create empty FRR configuration files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+::
+
+    doas mkdir /var/frr
+    doas chown _frr:_frr /var/frr
+    doas chmod 755 /var/frr

+    doas chmod 750 /etc/frr
+    doas chmod 640 /etc/frr/*.conf
+
+Enable IP & IPv6 forwarding
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Add the following lines to the end of ``/etc/rc.conf``:
+
+::
+
+    net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1      # 1=Permit forwarding of IPv6 packets
+    net.inet6.ip6.mforwarding=1     # 1=Permit forwarding of IPv6 multicast packets
+    net.inet6.ip6.multipath=1       # 1=Enable IPv6 multipath routing
+
+**Reboot** to apply the config to the system
+
+Enable MPLS Forwarding
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To enable MPLS forwarding on a given interface, use the following
+command:
+
+::
+
+    doas ifconfig em0 mpls
+
+Alternatively, to make MPLS forwarding persistent across reboots, add
+the "mpls" keyword in the hostname.\* files of the desired interfaces.
+Example:
+
+::
+
+    cat /etc/hostname.em0
+    inet 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0 mpls
+
+Install rc.d init files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+(create them in /etc/rc.d - no example are included at this time with
+FRR source)
+
+Example (for zebra - store as ``/etc/rc.d/frr_zebra.sh``)
+
+::
+
+    #!/bin/sh
+    #
+    # $OpenBSD: frr_zebra.rc,v 1.1 2013/04/18 20:29:08 sthen Exp $
+
+    daemon="/usr/local/sbin/zebra -d"
+
+    . /etc/rc.d/rc.subr
+
+    rc_cmd $1
+
+Enable FRR processes

+openSUSE
+========
+
+This document describes installation from source.
+
+These instructions have been tested on openSUSE Tumbleweed in a Raspberry Pi 400.
+
+Installing Dependencies
+-----------------------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   zypper in  git autoconf automake libtool make   \
+     readline-devel texinfo net-snmp-devel groff pkgconfig libjson-c-devel\
+     pam-devel python3-pytest bison flex c-ares-devel python3-devel\

+     libelf-devel libunwind-devel
+
+.. include:: building-libunwind-note.rst
+
+Building & Installing FRR
+-------------------------
+
+Add FRR user and groups
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo groupadd -g 92 frr
+   sudo groupadd -r -g 85 frrvty
+   sudo useradd -u 92 -g 92 -M -r -G frrvty -s /sbin/nologin \
+     -c "FRR FRRouting suite" -d /var/run/frr frr
+
+Compile
+^^^^^^^
+
+.. include:: include-compile.rst
+
+Install FRR configuration files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
+   sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons.conf /etc/frr/daemons.conf
+   sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons
+
+.. note::
+
+        In some platforms like raspberry for performance reasons
+        some directories are in file systems (/var/run, ...) mounted with tempfs 
+        so will disapear after every reboot.
+        In frr the /var/run/frr is used to store pid files for every daemon.
+
+Tweak sysctls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some sysctls need to be changed in order to enable IPv4/IPv6 forwarding and
+MPLS (if supported by your platform). If your platform does not support MPLS,
+skip the MPLS related configuration in this section.
+
+Create a new file ``/etc/sysctl.d/90-routing-sysctl.conf`` with the following
+content:
+
+::
+
+   #
+   # Enable packet forwarding
+   #
+   net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1
+   net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+   #
+   # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
+   #
+   #net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
+   #net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
+   #net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
+   #net.mpls.platform_labels=100000
+
+.. note::
+
+   MPLS must be invidividually enabled on each interface that requires it. See
+   the example in the config block above.
+
+Load the modified sysctls on the system:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/90-routing-sysctl.conf
+
+Create a new file ``/etc/modules-load.d/mpls.conf`` with the following content:
+
+::
+
+   # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
+   mpls-router
+   mpls-iptunnel
+
+And load the kernel modules on the running system:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo modprobe mpls-router mpls-iptunnel
+
+
+.. note::
+   The ``firewalld`` service could be enabled. You may run into some
+   issues with the iptables rules it installs by default. If you wish to just
+   stop the service and clear `ALL` rules do these commands:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      sudo systemctl disable firewalld.service
+      sudo systemctl stop firewalld.service
+      sudo iptables -F
+
+Install frr Service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo install -p -m 644 tools/frr.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/frr.service
+   sudo systemctl enable frr
+
+Enable daemons
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Open :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` with your text editor of choice. Look for the
+section with ``bgpd=no`` etc.  Enable the daemons
+as required by changing the value to ``yes``.
+
+Start FRR
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo systemctl start frr
+
+Check the starting messages of frr with
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   journalctl -u frr --follow

+OpenWrt
+=======
+
+General info about OpenWrt buildsystem: `link <https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/start>`_.
+
+Prepare build environment
+-------------------------
+
+For Debian based distributions, run:
+
+::
+
+    sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libncurses5-dev \
+       unzip zlib1g-dev subversion mercurial
+
+For other environments, instructions can be found in the
+`official documentation
+<https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/install-buildsystem#examples_of_package_installations>`_.
+
+
+Get OpenWrt Sources (from Git)
+------------------------------
+
+.. note::
+   The OpenWrt build will fail if you run it as root. So take care to run it as a nonprivileged user.
+
+Clone the OpenWrt sources and retrieve the package feeds
+
+::
+
+    git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git
+    cd openwrt
+    ./scripts/feeds update -a
+    ./scripts/feeds install -a
+
+Configure OpenWrt for your target and select the needed FRR packages in Network -> Routing and Redirection -> frr,
+exit and save
+
+::
+
+    make menuconfig
+
+Then, to compile either a complete OpenWrt image, or the FRR packages, run:
+
+::
+
+    make or make package/frr/compile
+
+It may be possible that on first build ``make package/frr/compile`` not
+to work and it may be needed to run a ``make`` for the entire build
+environment. Add ``V=s`` to get more debugging output.
+
+More information about OpenWrt buildsystem can be found `here
+<https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-buildsystem>`__.
+
+Work with sources
+-----------------
+
+To update to a newer version, or change other options, you need to edit the ``feeds/packages/frr/Makefile``.
+
+More information about working with patches in OpenWrt buildsystem can be found `here
+<https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-patches-with-buildsystem>`__.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Edit ``/usr/sbin/frr.init`` and add/remove the daemons name in section
+``DAEMONS=`` or don't install unneeded packages For example: zebra bgpd ldpd
+isisd nhrpd ospfd ospf6d pimd ripd ripngd
+
+Enable the service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+-  ``service frr enable``
+
+Start the service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+-  ``service frr start``

+FRR depends on the relatively new ``libyang`` library to provide YANG/NETCONF

+package from their repositories. Therefore we offer two options to install this
+library.
+
+**Option 1: Binary Install**
+
+The FRR project builds some binary ``libyang`` packages.
+
+RPM packages are at our `RPM repository <https://rpm.frrouting.org>`_.
+
+DEB packages are available as CI artifacts `here
+<https://ci1.netdef.org/browse/LIBYANG-LIBYANGV2/latestSuccessful/artifact>`_.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   ``libyang`` version 2.0.0 or newer is required to build FRR.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The ``libyang`` development packages need to be installed in addition to the
+   libyang core package in order to build FRR successfully. Make sure to
+   download and install those from the link above alongside the binary
+   packages.
+
+   Depending on your platform, you may also need to install the PCRE
+   development package. Typically this is ``libpcre2-dev`` or ``pcre2-devel``.
+
+**Option 2: Source Install**
+
+.. note::
+
+   Ensure that the `libyang build requirements
+   <https://github.com/CESNET/libyang/#build-requirements>`_
+   are met before continuing. Usually this entails installing ``cmake`` and

+
+Command Line Interface
+======================
+
+FRR features a flexible modal command line interface. Often when adding new
+features or modifying existing code it is necessary to create or modify CLI
+commands. FRR has a powerful internal CLI system that does most of the heavy
+lifting for you.
+
+Modes
+-----
+FRR's CLI is organized by modes. Each mode is associated with some set of
+functionality, e.g. EVPN, or some underlying object such as an interface. Each
+mode contains a set of commands that control the associated functionality or
+object. Users move between the modes by entering a command, which is usually
+different for each source and destination mode.
+
+A summary of the modes is given in the following figure.
+
+.. graphviz:: ../figures/nodes.dot
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`cli-data-structures`
+
+Walkup
+^^^^^^
+FRR exhibits, for historical reasons, a peculiar behavior called 'walkup'.
+Suppose a user is in ``OSPF_NODE``, which contains only OSPF-specific commands,
+and enters the following command: ::
+
+   ip route 192.168.100.0/24 10.0.2.2
+
+This command is not defined in ``OSPF_NODE``, so the matcher will fail to match
+the command in that node. The matcher will then check "parent" nodes of
+``OSPF_NODE``. In this case the direct parent of ``OSPF_NODE`` is
+``CONFIG_NODE``, so the current node switches to ``CONFIG_NODE`` and the command
+is tried in that node. Since static route commands are defined in
+``CONFIG_NODE`` the command succeeds. The procedure of attempting to execute
+unmatched commands by sequentially "walking up" to parent nodes only happens in
+children (direct and indirect) below ``CONFIG_NODE`` and stops at
+``CONFIG_NODE``.
+
+Unfortunately, the internal representation of the various modes is not actually
+a graph. Instead, there is an array. The parent-child relationships are not
+explicitly defined in any datastructure but instead are hard-coded into the
+specific commands that switch nodes. For walkup, there is a function that takes
+a node and returns the parent of the node. This interface causes all manner of
+insidious problems, even for experienced developers, and needs to be fixed at
+some point in the future.
+
+Deprecation of old style of commands
+------------------------------------
+
+There are currently 2 styles of defining commands within a FRR source file.
+``DEFUN`` and ``DEFPY``.  ``DEFPY`` should be used for all new commands that
+a developer is writing.  This is because it allows for much better handling
+of command line arguments as well as ensuring that input is correct.  ``DEFUN``
+is listed here for historical reasons as well as for ensuring that existing
+code can be understood by new developers.
+
+Defining Commands
+-----------------
+All definitions for the CLI system are exposed in ``lib/command.h``. In this
+header there are a set of macros used to define commands. These macros are
+collectively referred to as "DEFUNs", because of their syntax:
+
+::
+
+    DEFUN(command_name,
+          command_name_cmd,
+          "example command FOO...",
+          "Examples\n"
+          "CLI command\n"
+          "Argument\n")
+    {
+        // ...command handler...
+    }
+
+DEFUNs generally take four arguments which are expanded into the appropriate
+constructs for hooking into the CLI. In order these are:
+
+- **Function name** - the name of the handler function for the command
+- **Command name** - the identifier of the ``struct cmd_element`` for the
+  command. By convention this should be the function name with ``_cmd``
+  appended.
+- **Command definition** - an expression in FRR's CLI grammar that defines the
+  form of the command and its arguments, if any
+- **Doc string** - a newline-delimited string that documents each element in
+  the command definition
+
+In the above example, ``command_name`` is the function name,
+``command_name_cmd`` is the command name, ``"example..."`` is the definition and
+the last argument is the doc string. The block following the macro is the body
+of the handler function, details on which are presented later in this section.
+
+In order to make the command show up to the user it must be installed into the
+CLI graph. To do this, call:
+
+``install_element(NODE, &command_name_cmd);``
+
+This will install the command into the specified CLI node. Usually these calls
+are grouped together in a CLI initialization function for a set of commands, and
+the DEFUNs themselves are grouped into the same source file to avoid cluttering
+the codebase.  The names of these files follow the form ``*_vty.[ch]`` by
+convention. Please do not scatter individual CLI commands in the middle of
+source files; instead expose the necessary functions in a header and place the
+command definition in a ``*_vty.[ch]`` file.
+
+Definition Grammar
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+FRR uses its own grammar for defining CLI commands. The grammar draws from
+syntax commonly seen in \*nix manpages and should be fairly intuitive. The
+parser is implemented in Bison and the lexer in Flex. These may be found in
+``lib/command_parse.y`` and ``lib/command_lex.l``, respectively.
+
+    **ProTip**: if you define a new command and find that the parser is
+    throwing syntax or other errors, the parser is the last place you want
+    to look. Bison is very stable and if it detects a syntax error, 99% of
+    the time it will be a syntax error in your definition.
+
+The formal grammar in BNF is given below. This is the grammar implemented in the
+Bison parser. At runtime, the Bison parser reads all of the CLI strings and
+builds a combined directed graph that is used to match and interpret user input.
+
+Human-friendly explanations of how to use this grammar are given a bit later in
+this section alongside information on the :ref:`cli-data-structures` constructed
+by the parser.

+
+Tokens
+^^^^^^
+The various capitalized tokens in the BNF above are in fact themselves
+placeholders, but not defined as such in the formal grammar; the grammar
+provides the structure, and the tokens are actually more like a type system for
+the strings you write in your CLI definitions. A CLI definition string is broken
+apart and each piece is assigned a type by the lexer based on a set of regular
+expressions. The parser uses the type information to verify the string and
+determine the structure of the CLI graph; additional metadata (such as the raw
+text of each token) is encoded into the graph as it is constructed by the
+parser, but this is merely a dumb copy job.
+
+Here is a brief summary of the various token types along with examples.
+
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Token type      | Syntax            | Description                                                 |
++=================+===================+=============================================================+
+| ``WORD``        | ``show ip bgp``   | Matches itself. In the given example every token is a WORD. |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``IPV4``        | ``A.B.C.D``       | Matches an IPv4 address.                                    |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``IPV6``        | ``X:X::X:X``      | Matches an IPv6 address.                                    |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``IPV4_PREFIX`` | ``A.B.C.D/M``     | Matches an IPv4 prefix in CIDR notation.                    |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``IPV6_PREFIX`` | ``X:X::X:X/M``    | Matches an IPv6 prefix in CIDR notation.                    |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``MAC``         | ``X:X:X:X:X:X``   | Matches a 48-bit mac address.                               |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``MAC_PREFIX``  | ``X:X:X:X:X:X/M`` | Matches a 48-bit mac address with a mask.                   |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``VARIABLE``    | ``FOOBAR``        | Matches anything.                                           |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``RANGE``       | ``(X-Y)``         | Matches numbers in the range X..Y inclusive.                |
++-----------------+-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+When presented with user input, the parser will search over all defined
+commands in the current context to find a match. It is aware of the various
+types of user input and has a ranking system to help disambiguate commands. For
+instance, suppose the following commands are defined in the user's current
+context:
+
+::
+
+   example command FOO
+   example command (22-49)
+   example command A.B.C.D/X
+
+The following table demonstrates the matcher's choice for a selection of
+possible user input.
+
++---------------------------------+---------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Input                           | Matched command           | Reason                                                                                                       |
++=================================+===========================+==============================================================================================================+
+| ``example command eLi7eH4xx0r`` | example command FOO       | ``eLi7eH4xx0r`` is not an integer or IPv4 prefix,                                                            |
+|                                 |                           | but FOO is a variable and matches all input.                                                                 |
++---------------------------------+---------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``example command 42``          | example command (22-49)   | ``42`` is not an IPv4 prefix. It does match both                                                             |
+|                                 |                           | ``(22-49)`` and ``FOO``, but RANGE tokens are more specific and have a higher priority than VARIABLE tokens. |
++---------------------------------+---------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| ``example command 10.3.3.0/24`` | example command A.B.C.D/X | The user entered an IPv4 prefix, which is best matched by the last command.                                  |

+
+Rules
+^^^^^
+There are also constructs which allow optional tokens, mutual exclusion,
+one-or-more selection and repetition.
+
+-  ``<angle|brackets>`` -- Contain sequences of tokens separated by pipes and
+   provide mutual exclusion. User input matches at most one option.
+-  ``[square brackets]`` -- Contains sequences of tokens that can be omitted.
+   ``[<a|b>]`` can be shortened to ``[a|b]``.
+-  ``![exclamation square brackets]`` -- same as ``[square brackets]``, but
+   only allow skipping the contents if the command input starts with ``no``.
+   (For cases where the positive command needs a parameter, but the parameter
+   is optional for the negative case.)
+-  ``{curly|braces}`` -- similar to angle brackets, but instead of mutual
+   exclusion, curly braces indicate that one or more of the pipe-separated
+   sequences may be provided in any order.
+-  ``VARIADICS...`` -- Any token which accepts input (anything except WORD)
+   which occurs as the last token of a line may be followed by an ellipsis,
+   which indicates that input matching the token may be repeated an unlimited
+   number of times.
+-  ``$name`` -- Specify a variable name for the preceding token. See
+   "Variable Names" below.
+
+Some general notes:
+
+-  Options are allowed at the beginning of the command. The developer is
+   entreated to use these extremely sparingly. They are most useful for
+   implementing the 'no' form of configuration commands. Please think carefully
+   before using them for anything else. There is usually a better solution, even
+   if it is just separating out the command definition into separate ones.
+-  The developer should judiciously apply separation of concerns when defining
+   commands. CLI definitions for two unrelated or vaguely related commands or
+   configuration items should be defined in separate commands. Clarity is
+   preferred over LOC (within reason).
+-  The maximum number of space-separated tokens that can be entered is
+   presently limited to 256. Please keep this limit in mind when
+   implementing new CLI.
+
+Variable Names
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The parser tries to fill the "varname" field on each token. This can happen
+either manually or automatically. Manual specifications work by appending
+``$name`` after the input specifier:
+
+::
+
+   foo bar$cmd WORD$name A.B.C.D$ip
+
+Note that you can also assign variable names to fixed input tokens, this can be
+useful if multiple commands share code. You can also use "$name" after a
+multiple-choice option:
+
+::
+
+   foo bar <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X>$addr [optionA|optionB]$mode
+
+The variable name is in this case assigned to the last token in each of the
+branches.
+
+Automatic assignment of variable names works by applying the following rules:
+
+-  manual names always have priority
+-  a ``[no]`` at the beginning receives ``no`` as varname on the ``no`` token
+-  ``VARIABLE`` tokens whose text is not ``WORD`` or ``NAME`` receive a cleaned
+   lowercase version of the token text as varname, e.g. ``ROUTE-MAP`` becomes
+   ``route_map``.
+-  other variable tokens (i.e. everything except "fixed") receive the text of
+   the preceding fixed token as varname, if one can be found.  E.g.
+   ``ip route A.B.C.D/M INTERFACE`` assigns "route" to the ``A.B.C.D/M`` token.
+
+These rules should make it possible to avoid manual varname assignment in 90% of
+the cases.
+
+Doc Strings
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+Each token in a command definition should be documented with a brief doc string
+that informs a user of the meaning and/or purpose of the subsequent command
+tree. These strings are provided as the last parameter to DEFUN macros,
+concatenated together and separated by an escaped newline (``\n``). These are
+best explained by example.
+
+::
+
+   DEFUN (config_terminal,
+          config_terminal_cmd,
+          "configure terminal",
+          "Configuration from vty interface\n"
+          "Configuration terminal\n")
+
+The last parameter is split into two lines for readability. Two newline
+delimited doc strings are present, one for each token in the command. The second
+string documents the functionality of the ``terminal`` command in the
+``configure`` subtree.
+
+Note that the first string, for ``configure`` does not contain documentation for
+'terminal'. This is because the CLI is best envisioned as a tree, with tokens
+defining branches. An imaginary ``start`` token is the root of every command in
+a CLI node. Each subsequent written token descends into a subtree, so the
+documentation for that token ideally summarizes all the functionality contained
+in the subtree.
+
+A consequence of this structure is that the developer must be careful to use the
+same doc strings when defining multiple commands that are part of the same tree.
+Commands which share prefixes must share the same doc strings for those
+prefixes. On startup the parser will generate warnings if it notices
+inconsistent doc strings. Behavior is undefined; the same token may show up
+twice in completions, with different doc strings, or it may show up once with a
+random doc string. Parser warnings should be heeded and fixed to avoid confusing
+users.
+
+The number of doc strings provided must be equal to the amount of tokens present
+in the command definition, read left to right, ignoring any special constructs.
+
+In the examples below, each arrowed token needs a doc string.
+
+::
+
+   "show ip bgp"
+    ^    ^  ^
+
+   "command <foo|bar> [example]"
+    ^        ^   ^     ^
+
+DEFPY
+^^^^^
+``DEFPY(...)`` is an enhanced version of ``DEFUN()`` which is preprocessed by
+:file:`python/clidef.py`. The python script parses the command definition
+string, extracts variable names and types, and generates a C wrapper function
+that parses the variables and passes them on. This means that in the CLI
+function body, you will receive additional parameters with appropriate types.
+
+This is best explained by an example. Invoking ``DEFPY`` like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   DEFPY(func, func_cmd, "[no] foo bar A.B.C.D (0-99)$num", "...help...")
+
+defines the handler function like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   func(self, vty, argc, argv,  /* standard CLI arguments */
+        const char *no,         /* unparsed "no" */
+        struct in_addr bar,     /* parsed IP address */
+        const char *bar_str,    /* unparsed IP address */
+        long num,               /* parsed num */
+        const char *num_str)    /* unparsed num */
+
+Note that as documented in the previous section, ``bar`` is automatically
+applied as variable name for ``A.B.C.D``. The Python script then detects this as
+an IP address argument and generates code to parse it into a ``struct in_addr``,
+passing it in ``bar``. The raw value is passed in ``bar_str``. The range/number
+argument works in the same way with the explicitly given variable name.

++----------------------------+--------------------------------+--------------------------+
+
+Note the following details:
+
+-  Not all parameters are pointers, some are passed as values.
+-  When the type is not ``const char *``, there will be an extra ``_str``
+   argument with type ``const char *``.
+-  You can give a variable name not only to ``VARIABLE`` tokens but also to
+   ``word`` tokens (e.g. constant words). This is useful if some parts of a
+   command are optional. The type will be ``const char *``.
+-  ``[no]`` will be passed as ``const char *no``.
+-  Most pointers will be ``NULL`` when the argument is optional and the
+   user did not supply it. As noted in the table above, some prefix
+   struct type arguments are passed as pointers to all-zeroes structs,
+   not as ``NULL`` pointers.
+-  If a parameter is not a pointer, but is optional and the user didn't use it,
+   the default value will be passed. Check the ``_str`` argument if you need to
+   determine whether the parameter was omitted.
+-  If the definition contains multiple parameters with the same variable name,
+   they will be collapsed into a single function parameter. The python code will
+   detect if the types are compatible (i.e. IPv4 + IPv6 variants) and choose a
+   corresponding C type.
+-  The standard DEFUN parameters (``self, vty, argc, argv``) are still present
+   and can be used. A DEFUN can simply be **edited into a DEFPY without further
+   changes and it will still work**; this allows easy forward migration.
+-  A file may contain both ``DEFUN`` and ``DEFPY`` statements.
+
+Getting a parameter dump
+""""""""""""""""""""""""
+The clidef.py script can be called to get a list of DEFUNs/DEFPYs with the
+parameter name/type list:
+
+::
+
+   lib/clippy python/clidef.py --all-defun --show lib/plist.c > /dev/null
+
+The generated code is printed to stdout, the info dump to stderr. The
+``--all-defun`` argument will make it process DEFUN blocks as well as DEFPYs,
+which is useful prior to converting some DEFUNs. **The dump does not list the
+``_str`` arguments** to keep the output shorter.
+
+Note that the ``clidef.py`` script cannot be run with python directly, it needs
+to be run with *clippy* since the latter makes the CLI parser available.
+
+Include & Makefile requirements
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+A source file that uses DEFPY needs to include the ``*_clippy.c`` file **before
+all DEFPY statements**:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   /* GPL header */
+   #include ...
+   ...
+   #ifndef VTYSH_EXTRACT_PL
+   #include "daemon/filename_clippy.c"
+   #endif
+
+   DEFPY(...)
+   DEFPY(...)
+
+   install_element(...)
+
+This dependency needs to be marked in ``Makefile.am`` or ``subdir.am``: (there
+is no ordering requirement)
+
+.. code-block:: make
+
+   # ...
+
+   # if linked into a LTLIBRARY (.la/.so):
+   filename.lo: filename_clippy.c
+
+   # if linked into an executable or static library (.a):
+   filename.o: filename_clippy.c
+
+Handlers
+^^^^^^^^
+The block that follows a CLI definition is executed when a user enters input
+that matches the definition. Its function signature looks like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int (*func) (const struct cmd_element *, struct vty *, int, struct cmd_token *[]);
+
+The first argument is the command definition struct. The last argument is an
+ordered array of tokens that correspond to the path taken through the graph, and
+the argument just prior to that is the length of the array.
+
+The arrangement of the token array has changed from Quagga's CLI implementation.
+In the old system, missing arguments were padded with ``NULL`` so that the same
+parts of a command would show up at the same indices regardless of what was
+entered. The new system does not perform such padding and therefore it is
+generally *incorrect* to assume consistent indices in this array. As a simple
+example:
+
+Command definition:
+
+::
+
+   command [foo] <bar|baz>
+
+User enters:
+
+::
+
+   command foo bar
+
+Array:
+
+::
+
+   [0] -> command
+   [1] -> foo
+   [2] -> bar
+
+User enters:
+
+::
+
+   command baz
+
+Array:
+
+::
+
+   [0] -> command
+   [1] -> baz
+
+
+.. _cli-data-structures:
+
+Data Structures
+---------------
+On startup, the CLI parser sequentially parses each command string definition
+and constructs a directed graph with each token forming a node. This graph is
+the basis of the entire CLI system. It is used to match user input in order to
+generate command completions and match commands to functions.
+
+There is one graph per CLI node (not the same as a graph node in the CLI graph).
+The CLI node struct keeps a reference to its graph (see :file:`lib/command.h`).
+
+While most of the graph maintains the form of a tree, special constructs
+outlined in the Rules section introduce some quirks. ``<>``, ``[]`` and ``{}``
+form self-contained 'subgraphs'. Each subgraph is a tree except that all of the
+'leaves' actually share a child node. This helps with minimizing graph size and
+debugging.
+
+As a working example, here is the graph of the following command: ::
+
+   show [ip] bgp neighbors [<A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD>] [json]
+
+.. figure:: ../figures/cligraph.png
+   :align: center
+
+   Graph of example CLI command
+
+
+``FORK`` and ``JOIN`` nodes are plumbing nodes that don't correspond to user
+input. They're necessary in order to deduplicate these constructs where
+applicable.
+
+Options follow the same form, except that there is an edge from the ``FORK``
+node to the ``JOIN`` node. Since all of the subgraphs in the example command are
+optional, all of them have this edge.
+
+Keywords follow the same form, except that there is an edge from ``JOIN`` to
+``FORK``. Because of this the CLI graph cannot be called acyclic. There is
+special logic in the input matching code that keeps a stack of paths already
+taken through the node in order to disallow following the same path more than
+once.
+
+Variadics are a bit special; they have an edge back to themselves, which allows
+repeating the same input indefinitely.
+
+The leaves of the graph are nodes that have no out edges. These nodes are
+special; their data section does not contain a token, as most nodes do, or
+``NULL``, as in ``FORK``/``JOIN`` nodes, but instead has a pointer to a
+``cmd_element``.  All paths through the graph that terminate on a leaf are
+guaranteed to be defined by that command. When a user enters a complete command,
+the command matcher tokenizes the input and executes a DFS on the CLI graph. If
+it is simultaneously able to exhaust all input (one input token per graph node),
+and then find exactly one leaf connected to the last node it reaches, then the
+input has matched the corresponding command and the command is executed. If it
+finds more than one node, then the command is ambiguous (more on this in
+deduplication). If it cannot exhaust all input, the command is unknown. If it
+exhausts all input but does not find an edge node, the command is incomplete.
+
+The parser uses an incremental strategy to build the CLI graph for a node. Each
+command is parsed into its own graph, and then this graph is merged into the
+overall graph. During this merge step, the parser makes a best-effort attempt to
+remove duplicate nodes. If it finds a node in the overall graph that is equal to
+a node in the corresponding position in the command graph, it will intelligently
+merge the properties from the node in the command graph into the
+already-existing node. Subgraphs are also checked for isomorphism and merged
+where possible. The definition of whether two nodes are 'equal' is based on the
+equality of some set of token properties; read the parser source for the most
+up-to-date definition of equality.
+
+When the parser is unable to deduplicate some complicated constructs, this can
+result in two identical paths through separate parts of the graph. If this
+occurs and the user enters input that matches these paths, they will receive an
+'ambiguous command' error and will be unable to execute the command. Most of the
+time the parser can detect and warn about duplicate commands, but it will not
+always be able to do this.  Hence care should be taken before defining a new
+command to ensure it is not defined elsewhere.
+
+struct cmd\_token
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   /* Command token struct. */
+   struct cmd_token
+   {
+           enum cmd_token_type type; // token type
+           uint8_t attr;             // token attributes
+           bool allowrepeat;         // matcher can match token repetitively?
+
+           char *text;               // token text
+           char *desc;               // token description
+           long long min, max;       // for ranges
+           char *arg;                // user input that matches this token
+           char *varname;            // variable name
+   };
+
+This struct is used in the CLI graph to match input against. It is also used to
+pass user input to command handler functions, as it is frequently useful for
+handlers to have access to that information. When a command is matched, the
+sequence of ``cmd_tokens`` that form the matching path are duplicated and placed
+in order into ``*argv[]``. Before this happens the ``->arg`` field is set to
+point at the snippet of user input that matched it.
+
+For most nontrivial commands the handler function will need to determine which
+of the possible matching inputs was entered. Previously this was done by looking
+at the first few characters of input. This is now considered an anti-pattern and
+should be avoided. Instead, the ``->type`` or ``->text`` fields for this logic.
+The ``->type`` field can be used when the possible inputs differ in type. When
+the possible types are the same, use the ``->text`` field. This field has the
+full text of the corresponding token in the definition string and using it makes
+for much more readable code. An example is helpful.
+
+Command definition:
+
+::
+
+   command <(1-10)|foo|BAR>
+
+In this example, the user may enter any one of:
+- an integer between 1 and 10
+- "foo"
+- anything at all
+
+If the user enters "command f", then:
+
+::
+
+   argv[1]->type == WORD_TKN
+   argv[1]->arg  == "f"
+   argv[1]->text == "foo"
+
+Range tokens have some special treatment; a token with ``->type == RANGE_TKN``
+will have the ``->min`` and ``->max`` fields set to the bounding values of the
+range.

+           int (*func)(struct vty *);
+
+           /* Node's command graph */
+           struct graph *cmdgraph;
+
+           /* Vector of this node's command list. */
+           vector cmd_vector;
+
+           /* Hashed index of command node list, for de-dupping primarily */
+           struct hash *cmd_hash;
+   };
+
+This struct corresponds to a CLI mode. The last three fields are most relevant
+here.
+
+cmdgraph
+   This is a pointer to the command graph that was described in the first part
+   of this section. It is the datastructure used for matching user input to
+   commands.
+
+cmd_vector
+   This is a list of all the ``struct cmd_element`` defined in the mode.
+
+cmd_hash
+   This is a hash table of all the ``struct cmd_element`` defined in the mode.
+   When ``install_element`` is called, it checks that the element it is given is
+   not already present in the hash table as a safeguard against duplicate calls
+   resulting in a command being defined twice, which renders the command
+   ambiguous.
+
+All ``struct cmd_node`` are themselves held in a static vector defined in
+:file:`lib/command.c` that defines the global CLI space.
+
+Command Abbreviation & Matching Priority
+----------------------------------------
+It is possible for users to elide parts of tokens when the CLI matcher does not
+need them to make an unambiguous match. This is best explained by example.
+
+Command definitions:
+
+::
+
+   command dog cow
+   command dog crow
+
+User input:
+
+::
+
+   c d c         -> ambiguous command
+   c d co        -> match "command dog cow"
+
+
+The parser will look ahead and attempt to disambiguate the input based on tokens
+later on in the input string.
+
+Command definitions:
+
+::
+
+   show ip bgp A.B.C.D
+   show ipv6 bgp X:X::X:X
+
+User enters:
+
+::
+
+   s i b 4.3.2.1         -> match "show ip bgp A.B.C.D"
+   s i b ::e0            -> match "show ipv6 bgp X:X::X:X"
+
+Reading left to right, both of these commands would be ambiguous since 'i' does
+not explicitly select either 'ip' or 'ipv6'. However, since the user later
+provides a token that matches only one of the commands (an IPv4 or IPv6 address)
+the parser is able to look ahead and select the appropriate command. This has
+some implications for parsing the ``*argv[]`` that is passed to the command
+handler.
+
+Now consider a command definition such as:
+
+::
+
+   command <foo|VAR>
+
+'foo' only matches the string 'foo', but 'VAR' matches any input, including
+'foo'. Who wins? In situations like this the matcher will always choose the
+'better' match, so 'foo' will win.
+
+Consider also:
+
+::
+
+   show <ip|ipv6> foo
+
+User input:
+
+::
+
+   show ip foo
+
+``ip`` partially matches ``ipv6`` but exactly matches ``ip``, so ``ip`` will
+win.
+
+Adding a CLI Node
+-----------------
+
+To add a new CLI node, you should:
+
+- define a new numerical node constant
+- define a node structure in the relevant daemon
+- call ``install_node()`` in the relevant daemon
+- define and install the new node in vtysh
+- define corresponding node entry commands in daemon and vtysh
+- add a new entry to the ``ctx_keywords`` dictionary in ``tools/frr-reload.py``
+
+Defining the numerical node constant
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Add your new node value to the enum before ``NODE_TYPE_MAX`` in
+``lib/command.h``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   enum node_type {
+        AUTH_NODE,               // Authentication mode of vty interface.
+        VIEW_NODE,               // View node. Default mode of vty interface.
+        [...]
+        MY_NEW_NODE,
+        NODE_TYPE_MAX, // maximum
+   };
+
+Defining a node structure
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In your daemon-specific code where you define your new commands that
+attach to the new node, add a node definition:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   static struct cmd_node my_new_node = {
+        .name = "my new node name",
+        .node = MY_NEW_NODE, // enum node_type lib/command.h
+        .parent_node = CONFIG_NODE,
+        .prompt = "%s(my-new-node-prompt)# ",
+        .config_write = my_new_node_config_write,
+   };
+
+You will need to define ``my_new_node_config_write(struct vty \*vty)``
+(or omit this field if you have no relevant configuration to save).
+
+Calling ``install_node()``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In the daemon's initialization function, before installing your new commands
+with ``install_element()``, add a call ``install_node(&my_new_node)``.
+
+Defining and installing the new node in vtysh
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The build tools automatically collect command definitions for vtysh.
+However, new nodes must be coded in vtysh specifically.
+
+In ``vtysh/vtysh.c``, define a stripped-down node structure and
+call ``install_node()``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   static struct cmd_node my_new_node = {
+        .name = "my new node name",
+        .node = MY_NEW_NODE, /* enum node_type lib/command.h */
+        .parent_node = CONFIG_NODE,
+        .prompt = "%s(my-new-node-prompt)# ",
+   };
+   [...]
+   void vtysh_init_vty(void)
+   {
+      [...]
+      install_node(&my_new_node)
+      [...]
+   }
+
+Defining corresponding node entry commands in daemon and vtysh
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The command that descends into the new node is typically programmed
+with ``VTY_PUSH_CONTEXT`` or equivalent in the daemon's CLI handler function.
+(If the CLI has been updated to use the new northbound architecture,
+``VTY_PUSH_XPATH`` is used instead.)
+
+In vtysh, you must implement a corresponding node change so that vtysh
+tracks the daemon's movement through the node tree.
+
+Although the build tools typically scan daemon code for CLI definitions
+to replicate their parsing in vtysh, the node-descent function in the
+daemon must be blocked from this replication so that a hand-coded
+skeleton can be written in ``vtysh.c``.
+
+Accordingly, use one of the ``*_NOSH`` macros such as ``DEFUN_NOSH``,
+``DEFPY_NOSH``, or ``DEFUN_YANG_NOSH``  for the daemon's node-descent
+CLI definition, and use ``DEFUNSH`` in ``vtysh.c`` for the vtysh equivalent.
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`vtysh-special-defuns`
+
+Examples:
+
+``zebra_whatever.c``
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   DEFPY_NOSH(my_new_node,
+        my_new_node_cmd,
+        "my-new-node foo",
+        "New Thing\n"
+        "A foo\n")
+   {
+      [...]
+      VTY_PUSH_CONTEXT(MY_NEW_NODE, bar);
+      [...]
+   }
+
+
+``ripd_whatever.c``
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   DEFPY_YANG_NOSH(my_new_node,
+        my_new_node_cmd,
+        "my-new-node foo",
+        "New Thing\n"
+        "A foo\n")
+   {
+      [...]
+      VTY_PUSH_XPATH(MY_NEW_NODE, xbar);
+      [...]
+   }
+
+
+``vtysh.c``
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   DEFUNSH(VTYSH_ZEBRA, my_new_node,
+        my_new_node_cmd,
+        "my-new-node foo",
+        "New Thing\n"
+        "A foo\n")
+   {
+        vty->node = MY_NEW_NODE;
+        return CMD_SUCCESS;
+   }
+   [...]
+   install_element(CONFIG_NODE, &my_new_node_cmd);
+
+
+Adding a new entry to the ``ctx_keywords`` dictionary
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In file ``tools/frr-reload.py``, the ``ctx_keywords`` dictionary
+describes the various node relationships.
+Add a new node entry at the appropriate level in this dictionary.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+        ctx_keywords = {
+            [...]
+            "key chain ": {
+                "key ": {}
+            },
+            [...]
+            "my-new-node": {},
+            [...]
+        }
+
+
+
+Inspection & Debugging
+----------------------
+
+Permutations
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+It is sometimes useful to check all the possible combinations of input that
+would match an arbitrary definition string. There is a tool in
+:file:`tools/permutations` that reads CLI definition strings on ``stdin`` and
+prints out all matching input permutations. It also dumps a text representation
+of the graph, which is more useful for debugging than anything else. It looks
+like this:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   $ ./permutations "show [ip] bgp [<view|vrf> WORD]"
+
+   show ip bgp view WORD
+   show ip bgp vrf WORD
+   show ip bgp
+   show bgp view WORD
+   show bgp vrf WORD
+   show bgp
+
+This functionality is also built into VTY/VTYSH; :clicmd:`list permutations`
+will list all possible matching input permutations in the current CLI node.
+
+Graph Inspection
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+When in the Telnet or VTYSH console, :clicmd:`show cli graph` will dump the
+entire command space of the current mode in the DOT graph language. This can be
+fed into one of the various GraphViz layout engines, such as ``dot``,
+``neato``, etc.
+
+For example, to generate an image of the entire command space for the top-level
+mode (``ENABLE_NODE``):
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   sudo vtysh -c 'show cli graph' | dot -Tjpg -Grankdir=LR > graph.jpg
+
+To do the same for the BGP mode:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   sudo vtysh -c 'conf t' -c 'router bgp' -c 'show cli graph' | dot -Tjpg -Grankdir=LR > bgpgraph.jpg
+
+This information is very helpful when debugging command resolution, tracking
+down duplicate / ambiguous commands, and debugging patches to the CLI graph
+builder.

+Cross-Compiling
+===============
+
+FRR is capable of being cross-compiled to a number of different architectures.
+With an adequate toolchain this process is fairly straightforward, though one
+must exercise caution to validate this toolchain's correctness before attempting
+to compile FRR or its dependencies; small oversights in the construction of the
+build tools may lead to problems which quickly become difficult to diagnose.
+
+Toolchain Preliminary
+---------------------
+
+The first step to cross-compiling any program is to identify the system which
+the program (FRR) will run on. From here on this will be called the "host"
+machine, following autotools' convention, while the machine building FRR will be
+called the "build" machine. The toolchain will of course be installed onto the
+build machine and be leveraged to build FRR for the host machine to run.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The build machine used while writing this guide was ``x86_64-pc-linux-gnu``
+   and the target machine was ``arm-linux-gnueabihf`` (a Raspberry Pi 3B+).
+   Replace this with your targeted tuple below if you plan on running the
+   commands from this guide:
+
+      .. code-block:: shell
+
+      export HOST_ARCH="arm-linux-gnueabihf"
+
+   For your given target, the build system's OS may have some support for
+   building cross compilers natively, or may even offer binary toolchains built
+   upstream for the target architecture. Check your package manager or OS
+   documentation before committing to building a toolchain from scratch.
+
+This guide will not detail *how* to build a cross-compiling toolchain but
+will instead assume one already exists and is installed on the build system.
+The methods for building the toolchain itself may differ between operating
+systems so consult the OS documentation for any particulars regarding
+cross-compilers. The OSDev wiki has a `pleasant tutorial`_ on cross-compiling in
+the context of operating system development which bootstraps from only the
+native GCC and binutils on the build machine. This may be useful if the build
+machine's OS does not offer existing tools to build a cross-compiler targeting
+the host.
+
+.. _pleasant tutorial: https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler
+
+This guide will also not demonstrate how to build all of FRR's dependencies for the
+target architecture. Instead, general instructions for using a cross-compiling
+toolchain to compile packages using CMake, Autotools, and Makefiles are
+provided; these three cases apply to almost all FRR dependencies.
+
+.. _glibc mismatch:
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Ensure the versions and implementations of the C standard library (glibc or
+   what have you) match on the host and the build toolchain. ``ldd --version``
+   will help you here. Upgrade one or the other if the they do not match.
+
+Testing the Toolchain
+---------------------
+
+Before any cross-compilation begins it would be prudent to test the new
+toolchain by writing, compiling and linking a simple program.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # A small program
+   cat > nothing.c <<EOF
+   int main() { return 0; }
+   EOF
+
+   # Build and link with the cross-compiler
+   ${HOST_ARCH}-gcc -o nothing nothing.c
+
+   # Inspect the resulting binary, results may vary
+   file ./nothing
+
+   # nothing: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV),
+   # dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3,
+   # for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped
+
+If this produced no errors then the installed toolchain is probably ready to
+start compiling the build dependencies and eventually FRR itself. There still
+may be lurking issues but fundamentally the toolchain can produce binaries and
+that's good enough to start working with it.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   If any errors occurred during the previous functional test please look back
+   and address them before moving on; this indicates your cross-compiling
+   toolchain is *not* in a position to build FRR or its dependencies. Even if
+   everything was fine, keep in mind that many errors from here on *may still
+   be related* to your toolchain (e.g. libstdc++.so or other components) and this
+   small test is not a guarantee of complete toolchain coherence.
+
+Cross-compiling Dependencies
+----------------------------
+
+When compiling FRR it is necessary to compile some of its dependencies alongside
+it on the build machine. This is so symbols from the shared libraries (which
+will be loaded at run-time on the host machine) can be linked to the FRR
+binaries at compile time; additionally, headers for these libraries are needed
+during the compile stage for a successful build.
+
+Sysroot Overview
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+All build dependencies should be installed into a "root" directory on the build
+computer, hereafter called the "sysroot". This directory will be prefixed to
+paths while searching for requisite libraries and headers during the build
+process. Often this may be set via a ``--prefix`` flag when building the
+dependent packages, meaning a ``make install`` will copy compiled libraries into
+(e.g.) ``/usr/${HOST_ARCH}/usr``.
+
+If the toolchain was built on the build machine then there is likely already a
+sysroot where those tools and standard libraries were installed; it may be
+helpful to use that directory as the sysroot for this build as well.
+
+Basic Workflow
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Before compiling or building any dependencies, make note of which daemons are
+being targeted and which libraries will be needed. Not all dependencies are
+necessary if only building with a subset of the daemons.
+
+The following workflow will compile and install any libraries which can be built
+with Autotools. The resultant library will be installed into the sysroot
+``/usr/${HOST_ARCH}``.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   ./configure \
+      CC=${HOST_ARCH}-gcc \
+      CXX=${HOST_ARCH}-g++ \
+      --build=${HOST_ARCH} \
+      --prefix=/usr/${HOST_ARCH}
+   make
+   make install
+
+Some libraries like ``json-c`` and ``libyang`` are packaged with CMake and can
+be built and installed generally like:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   mkdir build
+   cd build
+   CC=${HOST_ARCH}-gcc \
+   CXX=${HOST_ARCH}-g++ \
+   cmake \
+       -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/${HOST_ARCH} \
+       ..
+   make
+   make install
+
+For programs with only a Makefile (e.g. ``libcap``) the process may look still a
+little different:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   CC=${HOST_ARCH}-gcc make
+   make install DESTDIR=/usr/${HOST_ARCH}
+
+These three workflows should handle the bulk of building and installing the
+build-time dependencies for FRR. Verify that the installed files are being
+placed correctly into the sysroot and were actually built using the
+cross-compile toolchain, not by the native toolchain by accident.
+
+Dependency Notes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are a lot of things that can go wrong during a cross-compilation. Some of
+the more common errors and a few special considerations are collected below for
+reference.
+
+libyang
+"""""""
+
+``-DENABLE_LYD_PRIV=ON`` should be provided during the CMake step.
+
+Ensure also that the version of ``libyang`` being installed corresponds to the
+version required by the targeted FRR version.
+
+gRPC
+""""
+
+This piece is requisite only if the ``--enable-grpc`` flag will be passed
+later on to FRR. One may get burned when compiling gRPC if the ``protoc``
+version on the build machine differs from the version of ``protoc`` being linked
+to during a gRPC build. The error messages from this defect look like:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   gens/src/proto/grpc/channelz/channelz.pb.h: In member function ‘void grpc::channelz::v1::ServerRef::set_name(const char*, size_t)’:
+   gens/src/proto/grpc/channelz/channelz.pb.h:9127:64: error: ‘EmptyDefault’ is not a member of ‘google::protobuf::internal::ArenaStringPtr’
+    9127 |   name_.Set(::PROTOBUF_NAMESPACE_ID::internal::ArenaStringPtr::EmptyDefault{}, ::std::string(
+
+This happens because protocol buffer code generation uses ``protoc`` to create
+classes with different getters and setters corresponding to the protobuf data
+defined by the source tree's ``.proto`` files. Clearly the cross-compiled
+``protoc`` cannot be used for this code generation because that binary is built
+for a different CPU.
+
+The solution is to install matching versions of native and cross-compiled
+protocol buffers; this way the native binary will generate code and the
+cross-compiled library will be linked to by gRPC and these versions will not
+disagree.
+
+----
+
+The ``-latomic`` linker flag may also be necessary here if using ``libstdc++``
+since GCC's C++11 implementation makes library calls in certain cases for
+``<atomic>`` so ``-latomic`` cannot be assumed.
+
+Cross-compiling FRR Itself
+--------------------------
+
+With all the necessary libraries cross-compiled and installed into the sysroot,
+the last thing to actually build is FRR itself:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # Clone and bootstrap the build
+   git clone 'https://github.com/FRRouting/frr.git'
+   # (e.g.) git checkout stable/7.5
+   ./bootstrap.sh
+
+   # Build clippy using the native toolchain
+   mkdir build-clippy
+   cd build-clippy
+   ../configure --enable-clippy-only
+   make clippy-only
+   cd ..
+
+   # Next, configure FRR and use the clippy we just built
+   ./configure \
+      CC=${HOST_ARCH}-gcc \
+      CXX=${HOST_ARCH}-g++ \
+      --host=${HOST_ARCH} \
+      --with-sysroot=/usr/${HOST_ARCH} \
+      --with-clippy=./build-clippy/lib/clippy \
+      --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \
+      --sbindir="\${prefix}/lib/frr" \
+      --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
+      --prefix=/usr \
+      --enable-user=frr \
+      --enable-group=frr \
+      --enable-vty-group=frrvty \
+      --disable-doc \
+      --enable-grpc
+
+   # Send it
+   make
+
+Installation to Host Machine
+----------------------------
+
+If no errors were observed during the previous steps it is safe to ``make
+install`` FRR into its own directory.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # Install FRR its own "sysroot"
+   make install DESTDIR=/some/path/to/sysroot
+
+After running the above command, FRR binaries, modules and example configuration
+files will be installed into some path on the build machine. The directory
+will have folders like ``/usr`` and ``/etc``; this "root" should now be copied
+to the host and installed on top of the root directory there.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # Tar this sysroot (preserving permissions)
+   tar -C /some/path/to/sysroot -cpvf frr-${HOST_ARCH}.tar .
+
+   # Transfer tar file to host machine
+   scp frr-${HOST_ARCH}.tar me@host-machine:
+
+   # Overlay the tarred sysroot on top of the host machine's root
+   ssh me@host-machine <<-EOF
+      # May need to elevate permissions here
+      tar -C / -xpvf frr-${HOST_ARCH}.tar.gz .
+   EOF
+
+Now FRR should be installed just as if ``make install`` had been run on the host
+machine. Create configuration files and assign permissions as needed. Lastly,
+ensure the correct users and groups exist for FRR on the host machine.
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+Even when every precaution has been taken some things may still go wrong! This
+section details some common runtime problems.
+
+Mismatched Libraries
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you see something like this after installing on the host:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   /usr/lib/frr/zebra: error while loading shared libraries: libyang.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+
+... at least one of FRR's dependencies which was linked to the binary earlier is
+not available on the host OS. Even if it has been installed the host
+repository's version may lag what is needed for more recent FRR builds (this is
+likely to happen with YANG at the moment).
+
+If the matching library is not available from the host OS package manager it may
+be possible to compile them using the same toolchain used to compile FRR. The
+library may have already been built earlier when compiling FRR on the build
+machine, in which case it may be as simple as following the same workflow laid
+out during the `Installation to Host Machine`_.
+
+Mismatched Glibc Versions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The version and implementation of the C standard library must match on both the
+host and build toolchain. The error corresponding to this misconfiguration will
+look like:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   /usr/lib/frr/zebra: /lib/${HOST_ARCH}/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /usr/lib/libfrr.so.0)
+
+See the earlier warning about preventing a `glibc mismatch`_.

+Path Computation Algorithms
+===========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Both RSVP-TE and Segment Routing Flex Algo need to compute end to end path
+with other constraints as the standard IGP metric. Based on Shortest Path First
+(SPF) algorithms, a new class of Constrained SPF (CSPF) is provided by the FRR
+library.
+
+Supported constraints are as follow:
+- Standard IGP metric (here, CSPF provides the same result as a normal SPF)
+- Traffic Engineering (TE) IGP metric
+- Delay from the IGP Extended Metrics
+- Bandwidth for a given Class of Service (CoS) for bandwidth reservation
+
+Algorithm
+---------
+
+The CSPF algorithm is based on a Priority Queue which store the on-going
+possible path sorted by their respective weights. This weight corresponds
+to the cost of the cuurent path from the source up to the current node.
+
+The algorithm is as followed:
+
+```
+   cost = MAX_COST;
+	Priority_Queue.empty();
+	Visited_Node.empty();
+	Processed_Path.empty();
+   src = new_path(source_address);
+	src.cost = 0;
+   dst = new_destinatio(destination_address);
+   dst.cost = MAX_COST;
+	Processed_Path.add(src);
+	Processed_Path.add(dst);
+	while (Priority_Queue.count != 0) {
+		current_path = Priority_Queue.pop();
+		current_node = next_path.destination;
+      Visited_Node.add(current_node);
+		for (current_node.edges: edge) {
+			if (prune_edge(current_path, edge)
+				continue;
+			if (relax(current_path) && cost > current_path.cost) {
+				optim_path = current_path;
+				cost = current_path.cost;
+			}
+		}
+	}
+
+	prune_edge(path, edge) {
+		// check that path + edge meet constraints  e.g.
+		if (current_path.cost + edge.cost > constrained_cost)
+			return false;
+		else
+			return true;
+	}
+
+	relax_edge(current_path, edge) {
+		next_node = edge.destination;
+		if (Visited_Node.get(next_node))
+			return false;
+		next_path = Processed_Path.get(edge.destination);
+		if (!next_path) {
+			next_path = new path(edge.destination);
+			Processed_Path.add(next_path);
+		}
+		total_cost = current_path.cost + edge.cost;
+		if (total_cost < next_path.cost) {
+			next_path = current_path;
+			next_path.add_edge(edge);
+			next_path.cost = total_cost;
+			Priority_Queue.add(next_path);
+		}
+		return (next_path.destination == destination);
+	}
+
+```
+
+Definition
+----------
+
+.. c:struct:: constraints
+
+This is the constraints structure that contains:
+
+- cost: the total cost that the path must respect
+- ctype: type of constraints:
+
+  - CSPF_METRIC for standard metric
+  - CSPF_TE_METRIC for TE metric
+  - CSPF_DELAY for delay metric
+
+- bw: bandwidth that the path must respect
+- cos: Class of Service (COS) for the bandwidth
+- family: AF_INET or AF_INET6
+- type: RSVP_TE, SR_TE or SRV6_TE
+
+.. c:struct:: c_path
+
+This is the Constraint Path structure that contains:
+
+- edges: List of Edges that compose the path
+- status: FAILED, IN_PROGRESS, SUCCESS, NO_SOURCE, NO_DESTINATION, SAME_SRC_DST
+- weight: the cost from source to the destination of the path
+- dst: key of the destination vertex
+
+.. c:struct:: cspf
+
+This is the main structure for path computation. Even if it is public, you
+don't need to set manually the internal field of the structure. Instead, use
+the following functions:
+
+.. c:function:: struct cspf *cspf_new(void);
+
+Function to create an empty cspf for future call of path computation
+
+.. c:function:: struct cspf *cspf_init(struct cspf *algo, const struct ls_vertex *src, const struct ls_vertex *dst, struct constraints *csts);
+
+This function initialize the cspf with source and destination vertex and
+constraints and return pointer to the cspf structure. If input cspf structure
+is NULL, a new cspf structure is allocated and initialize.
+
+.. c:function:: struct cspf *cspf_init_v4(struct cspf *algo, struct ls_ted *ted, const struct in_addr src, const struct in_addr dst, struct constraints *csts);
+
+Same as cspf_init, but here, source and destination vertex are extract from
+the TED data base based on respective IPv4 source and destination addresses.
+
+.. c:function:: struct cspf *cspf_init_v6(struct cspf *algo, struct ls_ted *ted, const struct in6_addr src, const struct in6_addr dst, struct constraints *csts);
+
+Same as cspf_init_v4 but with IPv6 source and destination addresses.
+
+.. c:function:: void cspf_clean(struct cspf *algo);
+
+Clean internal structure of cspf in order to reuse it for another path
+computation.
+
+.. c:function:: void cspf_del(struct cspf *algo);
+
+Delete cspf structure. A call to cspf_clean() function is perform prior to
+free allocated memeory.
+
+.. c:function:: struct c_path *compute_p2p_path(struct ls_ted *ted, struct cspf *algo);
+
+Compute point to point path from the ted and cspf.
+The function always return a constraints path. The status of the path gives
+indication about the success or failure of the algorithm. If cspf structure has
+not been initialize with a call to `cspf_init() or cspf_init_XX()`, the
+algorithm returns a constraints path with status set to FAILED.
+Note that a call to `cspf_clean()` is performed at the end of this function,
+thus it is mandatory to initialize the cspf structure again prior to call again
+the path computation algorithm.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Of course, CSPF algorithm needs a network topology that contains the
+various metrics. Link State provides such Traffic Engineering Database.
+
+To perform a Path Computation with given constraints, proceed as follow:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+	struct cspf *algo;
+	struct ls_ted *ted;
+	struct in_addr src;
+	struct in_addr dst;
+	struct constraints csts;
+	struct c_path *path;
+
+	// Create a new CSPF structure
+	algo = cspf_new();
+
+	// Initialize constraints
+	csts.cost = 100;
+	csts.ctype = CSPF_TE_METRIC;
+	csts.family = AF_INET;
+	csts.type = SR_TE;
+	csts.bw = 1000000;
+	csts.cos = 3;
+
+	// Then, initialise th CSPF with source, destination and constraints
+	cspf_init_v4(algo, ted, src, dst, &csts);
+
+	// Finally, got the Computed Path;
+	path = compute_p2p_path(ted, algo);
+
+	if (path.status == SUCCESS)
+		zlog_info("Got a valid constraints path");
+	else
+		zlog_info("Unable to compute constraints path. Got %d status", path->status);
+
+
+If you would compute another path, you must call `cspf_init()` prior to
+`compute_p2p_path()` to change source, destination and/or constraints.

+FPM
+===
+
+FPM stands for Forwarding Plane Manager and it's a module for use with Zebra.
+
+The encapsulation header for the messages exchanged with the FPM is
+defined by the file :file:`fpm/fpm.h` in the frr tree. The routes
+themselves are encoded in Netlink or protobuf format, with Netlink
+being the default.
+
+Netlink is standard format for encoding messages to talk with kernel space
+in Linux and it is also the name of the socket type used by it.
+The FPM netlink usage differs from Linux's in:
+
+- Linux netlink sockets use datagrams in a multicast fashion, FPM uses
+  as a stream and it is unicast.
+- FPM netlink messages might have more or less information than a normal
+  Linux netlink socket message (example: RTM_NEWROUTE might add an extra
+  route attribute to signalize VxLAN encapsulation).
+
+Protobuf is one of a number of new serialization formats wherein the
+message schema is expressed in a purpose-built language. Code for
+encoding/decoding to/from the wire format is generated from the
+schema. Protobuf messages can be extended easily while maintaining
+backward-compatibility with older code. Protobuf has the following
+advantages over Netlink:
+
+- Code for serialization/deserialization is generated automatically. This
+  reduces the likelihood of bugs, allows third-party programs to be integrated
+  quickly, and makes it easy to add fields.
+- The message format is not tied to an OS (Linux), and can be evolved
+  independently.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Currently there are two FPM modules in ``zebra``:
+
+   * ``fpm``
+   * ``dplane_fpm_nl``
+
+fpm
+^^^
+
+The first FPM implementation that was built using hooks in ``zebra`` route
+handling functions. It uses its own netlink/protobuf encoding functions to
+translate ``zebra`` route data structures into formatted binary data.
+
+
+dplane_fpm_nl
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The newer FPM implementation that was built using ``zebra``'s data plane
+framework as a plugin. It only supports netlink and it shares ``zebra``'s
+netlink functions to translate route event snapshots into formatted binary
+data.
+
+
+Protocol Specification
+----------------------
+
+FPM (in any mode) uses a TCP connection to talk with external applications.
+It operates as TCP client and uses the CLI configured address/port to connect
+to the FPM server (defaults to port ``2620``).
+
+FPM frames all data with a header to help the external reader figure how
+many bytes it has to read in order to read the full message (this helps
+simulates datagrams like in the original netlink Linux kernel usage).
+
+Frame header:
+
+::
+
+    0                   1                   2                   3

+
+FRR Release Procedure
+=====================
+
+``<version>`` - version to be released, e.g. 7.3
+``origin`` - FRR upstream repository
+
+Stage 1 - Preparation
+---------------------
+
+#. Prepare changelog for the new release
+
+   Note: use ``tools/release_notes.py`` to help draft release notes changelog
+
+#. Checkout the existing ``dev/<version>`` branch.
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      git checkout dev/<version>
+
+#. Create and push a new branch called ``stable/<version>`` based on the
+   ``dev/<version>`` branch.
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      git checkout -b stable/<version>
+
+#. Remove the development branch called ``dev/<version>``
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      git push origin --delete dev/<version>
+
+#. Update Changelog for Red Hat Packages:
+
+   Edit :file:`redhat/frr.spec.in` and look for the ``%changelog`` section:
+
+   - Change last (top of list) entry from ``%{version}`` to the **last**
+     released version number. For example, if ``<version>`` is ``7.3`` and the
+     last public release was ``7.2``, you would use ``7.2``, changing the file
+     like so::
+
+        * Tue Nov  7 2017 Martin Winter <mwinter@opensourcerouting.org> - %{version}
+
+     to::
+
+        * Tue Nov  7 2017 Martin Winter <mwinter@opensourcerouting.org> - 7.2
+
+   - Add new entry to the top of the list with ``%{version}`` tag.  Make sure
+     to watch the format, i.e. the day is always 2 characters, with the 1st
+     character being a space if the day is one digit.
+
+   - Add the changelog text below this entry.
+
+#. Update Changelog for Debian Packages:
+
+   Update :file:`debian/changelog`:
+
+   - Run following with **last** release version number and debian revision
+     (usually -1) as argument to ``dch --newversion VERSION``. For example, if
+     ``<version>`` is ``7.3`` then you will run ``dch --newversion 7.3-1``.
+
+   - The ``dch`` will run an editor, and you should add the changelog text below
+     this entry, usually that would be: **New upstream version**.
+
+   - Verify the changelog format using ``dpkg-parsechangelog``. In the
+     repository root:
+
+     .. code-block:: console
+
+        dpkg-parsechangelog
+
+     You should see output like this::
+
+        vagrant@local ~/frr> dpkg-parsechangelog
+        Source: frr
+        Version: 7.3-dev-0
+        Distribution: UNRELEASED
+        Urgency: medium
+        Maintainer: FRRouting-Dev <dev@lists.frrouting.org>
+        Timestamp: 1540478210
+        Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2018 16:36:50 +0200
+        Changes:
+         frr (7.3-dev-0) RELEASED; urgency=medium
+         .
+           * Your Changes Here
+
+#. Commit the changes, adding the changelog to the commit message. Follow all
+   existing commit guidelines. The commit message should be akin to::
+
+      debian, redhat: updating changelog for new release
+
+#. Change main version number:
+
+   - Edit :file:`configure.ac` and change version in the ``AC_INIT`` command
+     to ``<version>``
+
+   Add and commit this change. This commit should be separate from the commit
+   containing the changelog. The commit message should be::
+
+      FRR Release <version>
+
+   The version field should be complete; i.e. for ``8.0.0``, the version should
+   be ``8.0.0`` and not ``8.0`` or ``8``.
+
+
+Stage 2 - Staging
+-----------------
+
+#. Push the stable branch to a new remote branch prefixed with ``rc``::
+
+      git push origin stable/<version>:rc/version
+
+   This will trigger the NetDEF CI, which serve as a sanity check on the
+   release branch. Verify that all tests pass and that all package builds are
+   successful. To do this, go to the NetDEF CI located here:
+
+   https://ci1.netdef.org/browse/FRR-FRR
+
+   In the top left, look for ``rc-<version>`` in the "Plan branch" dropdown.
+   Select this version. Note that it may take a few minutes for the CI to kick
+   in on this new branch and appear in the list.
+
+#. Push the stable branch:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      git push origin stable/<version>:refs/heads/stable/<version>
+
+#. Create and push a git tag for the version:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      git tag -a frr-<version> -m "FRRouting Release <version>"
+      git push origin frr-<version>
+
+#. Create a new branch based on ``master``, cherry-pick the commit made earlier
+   that added the changelogs, and use it to create a PR against ``master``.
+   This way ``master`` has the latest changelog for the next cycle.
+
+#. Kick off the "Release" build plan on the CI system for the correct release.
+   Contact Martin Winter for this step. Ensure all release packages build
+   successfully.
+
+#. Kick off the Snapcraft build plan for the release.
+
+
+Stage 3 - Publish
+-----------------
+
+#. Upload both the Debian and RPM packages to their respective repositories.
+
+#. Coordinate with the maintainer of FRR's RPM repository to publish the RPM
+   packages on that repository. Update the repository webpage. Verify that the
+   instructions on the webpage work and that FRR is installable from the
+   repository on a Red Hat system.
+
+   Current maintainer: *Martin Winter*
+
+#. Coordinate with the maintainer of FRR Debian package to publish the Debian
+   packages on that repository. Update the repository webpage. Verify that the
+   instructions on the webpage work and that FRR is installable from the
+   repository on a Debian system.
+
+   Current maintainer: *Jafar Al-Gharaibeh*
+
+#. Log in to the Read The Docs instance. in the "FRRouting" project, navigate
+   to the "Overview" tab. Ensure there is a ``stable-<version>`` version listed
+   and that it is enabled. Go to "Admin" and then "Advanced Settings". Change
+   "Default version" to the new version. This ensures that the documentation
+   shown to visitors is that of the latest release by default.
+
+   This step must be performed by someone with administrative access to the
+   Read the Docs instance.
+
+#. On GitHub, go to the <https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/releases>_ and click
+   "Draft a new release". Write a release announcement. The release
+   announcement should follow the template in
+   ``release-announcement-template.md``, located next to this document. Check
+   for spelling errors, and optionally (but preferably) have other maintainers
+   proofread the announcement text.
+
+   Do not attach any packages or source tarballs to the GitHub release.
+
+   Publish the release once it is reviewed.
+
+#. Deploy Snapcraft release. Remember that this will automatically upgrade Snap
+   users.
+
+   Current maintainer: *Martin Winter*
+
+#. Build and publish the Docker containers.
+
+   Current maintainer: *Quentin Young*
+
+#. Clone the ``frr-www`` repository:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      git clone https://github.com/FRRouting/frr-www.git
+
+#. Add a new release announcement, using a previous announcement as template:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      cp content/release/<old-version>.md content/release/<new-version>.md
+
+   Paste the GitHub release announcement text into this document, and **remove
+   line breaks**. In other words, this::
+
+      This is one continuous
+      sentence that should be
+      rendered on one line
+
+   Needs to be changed to this::
+
+      This is one continuous sentence that should be rendered on one line
+
+   This is very important otherwise the announcement will be unreadable on the
+   website.
+
+   To get the number of commiters and commits, here is a couple of handy commands:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      # The number of commits
+      % git log --oneline --no-merges base_8.2...base_8.1 | wc -l
+
+      # The number of commiters
+      % git shortlog --summary --no-merges base_8.2...base_8.1 | wc -l
+
+   Make sure to add a link to the GitHub releases page at the top.
+
+#. Deploy the updated ``frr-www`` on the frrouting.org web server and verify
+   that the announcement text is visible.
+
+#. Send an email to ``announce@lists.frrouting.org``. The text of this email
+   should include text as appropriate from the GitHub release and a link to the
+   GitHub release, Debian repository, and RPM repository.

+
+Fuzzing
+=======
+
+This page describes the fuzzing targets and supported fuzzers available in FRR
+and how to use them. Familiarity with fuzzing techniques and tools is assumed.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+It is well known that networked applications tend to be difficult to fuzz on
+their network-facing attack surfaces. Approaches involving actual network
+transmission tend to be slow and are subject to intermediate devices and
+networking stacks which tend to drop fuzzed packets, especially if the fuzzing
+surface covers IP itself. Some time was spent on fuzzing FRR this way with some
+mediocre results but attention quickly turned towards skipping the actual
+networking and instead adding fuzzing targets directly in the packet processing
+code for use by more traditional in- and out-of-process fuzzers. Results from
+this approach have been very fruitful.
+
+The patches to add fuzzing targets are kept in a separate git branch. Typically
+it is better to keep them in the main branch so they are kept up to date and do
+not need to be constantly synchronized with the main codebase. Unfortunately,
+changes to FRR to support fuzzing necessarily extend far beyond the
+entrypoints. Checksums must be disarmed, interactions with the kernel must be
+skipped, sockets and files must be avoided, desired under/overflows must be
+marked, etc. There are the usual ``LD_PRELOAD`` libraries to emulate these
+things (preeny et al) but FRR is a very kernel-reliant program and these
+libraries tend to create annoying problems when used with FRR for whatever
+reason. Keeping this code in the main codebase is cluttering, difficult to work
+with / around, and runs the risk of accidentally introducing bugs even if
+``#ifdef``'d out. Consequently it's in a separate branch that is rebased on
+``master`` from time to time.
+
+
+Code
+----
+
+The git branch with fuzzing targets is located here:
+
+https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/tree/fuzz
+
+To build libFuzzer targets, pass ``--enable-libfuzzer`` to ``configure``.
+To build AFL targets, compile with ``afl-clang`` as usual.
+
+Fuzzing with sanitizers is strongly recommended, especially ASAN, which you can
+enable by passing ``--enable-address-sanitizer`` to ``configure``.
+
+Suggested UBSAN flags: ``-fsanitize-recover=unsigned-integer-overflow,implicit-conversion -fsanitize=unsigned-integer-overflow,implicit-conversion,nullability-arg,nullability-assign,nullability-return``
+Recommended cflags: ``-Wno-all -g3 -O3 -funroll-loops``
+
+Design
+------
+
+All fuzzing targets have support for libFuzzer and AFL. This is done by writing
+the target as a libFuzzer entrypoint (``LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput()``) and calling
+it from the AFL entrypoint in ``main()``. New targets should use this rule.
+
+When adding AFL entrypoints, it's a good idea to use AFL persistent mode for
+better performance. Grep ``bgpd/bgp_main.c`` for ``__AFL_INIT()`` for an
+example of how to do this in FRR. Typically it involves moving all internal
+daemon setup into a setup function. Then this setup function is called exactly
+once for the lifetime of the process. In ``LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput()`` this
+means you need to call it at the start of the function protected by a static
+boolean that is set to true, since that function is your entrypoint. You also
+need to call it prior to ``__AFL_INIT()`` in ``main()`` because ``main()`` is
+your entrypoint in the AFL case.
+
+Adding support to daemons
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This section describes how to add entrypoints to daemons that do not have any
+yet.
+
+Because libFuzzer has its own ``main()`` function, when adding fuzzing support
+to a daemon that doesn't have any targets already, ``main()`` needs to be
+``#ifdef``'d out like so:
+
+.. code:: c
+
+   #ifndef FUZZING_LIBFUZZER
+
+   int main(int argc, char **argv)
+   {
+   ...
+   }
+
+   #endif /* FUZZING_LIBFUZZER */
+
+
+The ``FUZZING_LIBFUZZER`` macro is set by ``--enable-libfuzzer``.
+
+Because libFuzzer can only be linked into daemons that have
+``LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput()`` implemented, we can't pass ``-fsanitize=fuzzer``
+to all daemons in ``AM_CFLAGS``. It needs to go into a variable specific to
+each daemon. Since it can be thought of as a kind of sanitizer, for daemons
+that have libFuzzer support there are now individual flags variables for those
+daemons named ``DAEMON_SAN_FLAGS`` (e.g. ``BGPD_SAN_FLAGS``,
+``ZEBRA_SAN_FLAGS``). This variable has the contents of the generic
+``SAN_FLAGS`` plus any fuzzing-related flags. It is used in daemons'
+``subdir.am`` in place of ``SAN_FLAGS``. Daemons that don't support libFuzzer
+still use ``SAN_FLAGS``. If you want to add fuzzing support to a daemon you
+need to do this flag variable conversion; look at ``configure.ac`` for
+examples, it is fairly straightforward. Remember to update ``subdir.am`` to use
+the new variable.
+
+Do note that when fuzzing is enabled, ``SAN_FLAGS`` gains
+``-fsanitize=fuzzer-no-link``; the result is that all daemons are instrumented
+for fuzzing but only the ones with ``LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput()`` actually get
+linked with libFuzzer.
+
+
+Targets
+-------
+
+A given daemon can have lots of different paths that are interesting to fuzz.
+There's not really a great way to handle this, most fuzzers assume the program
+has one entrypoint. The approach taken in FRR for multiple entrypoints is to
+control which path is taken within ``LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput()`` using
+``#ifdef`` and passing whatever controlling macro definition you want. Take a
+look at that function for the daemon you're interested in fuzzing, pick the
+target, add ``#define MY_TARGET 1`` somewhere before the ``#ifdef`` switch,
+recompile.

+Some interesting seed corpuses for various daemons are available `here
+<https://github.com/qlyoung/frr-fuzz/tree/master/samples>`_.
+
+For libFuzzer, you need to pass ``-rss_limit_mb=0`` if you are fuzzing with
+ASAN enabled, as you should.
+
+For AFL, afl++ is strongly recommended; afl proper isn't really maintained

+Northbound gRPC
+***************
+
+To enable gRPC support one needs to add `--enable-grpc` when running
+`configure`. Additionally, when launching each daemon one needs to request
+the gRPC module be loaded and which port to bind to. This can be done by adding
+`-M grpc:<port>` to the daemon's CLI arguments.
+
+Currently there is no gRPC "routing" so you will need to bind your gRPC
+`channel` to the particular daemon's gRPC port to interact with that daemon's
+gRPC northbound interface.
+
+The minimum version of gRPC known to work is 1.16.1.
+
+.. _grpc-languages-bindings:
+
+Programming Language Bindings
+=============================
+
+The gRPC supported programming language bindings can be found here:
+https://grpc.io/docs/languages/
+
+After picking a programming language that supports gRPC bindings, the
+next step is to generate the FRR northbound bindings. To generate the
+northbound bindings you'll need the programming language binding
+generator tools and those are language specific.
+
+C++ Example
+-----------
+
+The next sections will use C++ as an example for accessing FRR
+northbound through gRPC.

+
+   mkdir /tmp/frr-cpp

+
+Below is a sample program to print all interfaces discovered.
+
+::

+
+Below is a sample script to print capabilities and all interfaces Python
+discovered. This demostrates the 2 different RPC results one gets from gRPC,
+Unary (`GetCapabilities`) and Streaming (`Get`) for the interface state.
+
+::
+
+  import grpc

+
+  channel = grpc.insecure_channel('localhost:50051')
+  stub = frr_northbound_pb2_grpc.NorthboundStub(channel)
+
+  # Print Capabilities
+  request = frr_northbound_pb2.GetCapabilitiesRequest()
+  response = stub.GetCapabilities(request)
+  print(response)
+
+  # Print Interface State and Config
+  request = frr_northbound_pb2.GetRequest()

+   response = stub.get(request)
+
+   # Print the response.

+     result.data.data.each_line do |line|
+       puts line
+     end
+   end
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   The generated files will assume that they are in the search path (e.g.
+   inside gem) so you'll need to either edit it to use ``require_relative`` or
+   tell Ruby where to look for them. For simplicity we'll use ``-I .`` to tell
+   it is in the current directory.
+
+
+The previous script will output something like this:
+
+::
+
+   $ cd /tmp/frr-ruby
+   # Add `-I.` so ruby finds the FRR generated file locally.
+   $ ruby -I. interface.rb

+
+Hooks
+=====
+
+Libfrr provides type-safe subscribable hook points where other pieces of
+code can add one or more callback functions.  "type-safe" in this case
+applies to the function pointers used for subscriptions.  The
+implementations checks (at compile-time) whether a callback to be added has
+the appropriate function signature (parameters) for the hook.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+   :caption: mydaemon.h
+
+   #include "hook.h"
+   DECLARE_HOOK(some_update_event, (struct eventinfo *info), (info));
+
+.. code-block:: c
+   :caption: mydaemon.c
+
+   #include "mydaemon.h"
+   DEFINE_HOOK(some_update_event, (struct eventinfo *info), (info));
+   ...
+   hook_call(some_update_event, info);
+
+.. code-block:: c
+   :caption: mymodule.c
+
+   #include "mydaemon.h"
+   static int event_handler(struct eventinfo *info);
+   ...
+   hook_register(some_update_event, event_handler);
+
+Do not use parameter names starting with "hook", these can collide with
+names used by the hook code itself.
+
+
+Return values
+-------------
+
+Callbacks to be placed on hooks always return "int" for now;  hook_call will
+sum up the return values from each called function.  (The default is 0 if no
+callbacks are registered.)
+
+There are no pre-defined semantics for the value, in most cases it is
+ignored.  For success/failure indication, 0 should be success, and
+handlers should make sure to only return 0 or 1 (not -1 or other values).
+
+There is no built-in way to abort executing a chain after a failure of one
+of the callbacks.  If this is needed, the hook can use an extra
+``bool *aborted`` argument.
+
+
+Priorities
+----------
+
+Hooks support a "priority" value for ordering registered calls
+relative to each other.  The priority is a signed integer where lower
+values are called earlier.  There are also "Koohs", which is hooks with
+reverse priority ordering (for cleanup/deinit hooks, so you can use the
+same priority value).
+
+Recommended priority value ranges are:
+
+======================== ===================================================
+Range                    Usage
+------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------
+ -999 ...     0 ...  999 main executable / daemon, or library
+
+-1999 ... -1000          modules registering calls that should run before
+                         the daemon's bits
+
+1000 ... 1999            modules' calls that should run after daemon's
+                         (includes default value: 1000)
+======================== ===================================================
+
+Note: the default value is 1000, based on the following 2 expectations:
+
+- most hook_register() usage will be in loadable modules
+- usage of hook_register() in the daemon itself may need relative ordering
+  to itself, making an explicit value the expected case
+
+The priority value is passed as extra argument on hook_register_prio() /
+hook_register_arg_prio().  Whether a hook runs in reverse is determined
+solely by the code defining / calling the hook.  (DECLARE_KOOH is actually
+the same thing as DECLARE_HOOK, it's just there to make it obvious.)

+.. c:macro:: DECLARE_KOOH(name, arglist, passlist)
+
+   :param name: Name of the hook to be defined
+   :param arglist: Function definition style parameter list in braces.
+   :param passlist: List of the same parameters without their types.
+
+   Note:  the second and third macro args must be the hook function's
+   parameter list, with the same names for each parameter.  The second
+   macro arg is with types (used for defining things), the third arg is
+   just the names (used for passing along parameters).
+
+   This macro must be placed in a header file;  this header file must be
+   included to register a callback on the hook.
+
+   Examples:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      DECLARE_HOOK(foo, (), ());
+      DECLARE_HOOK(bar, (int arg), (arg));
+      DECLARE_HOOK(baz, (const void *x, in_addr_t y), (x, y));
+
+.. c:macro:: DEFINE_HOOK(name, arglist, passlist)
+
+   Implements an hook.  Each ``DECLARE_HOOK`` must have be accompanied by
+   exactly one ``DEFINE_HOOK``, which needs to be placed in a source file.
+   **The hook can only be called from this source file.**  This is intentional
+   to avoid overloading and/or misusing hooks for distinct purposes.
+
+   The compiled source file will include a global symbol with the name of the
+   hook prefixed by `_hook_`.  Trying to register a callback for a hook that
+   doesn't exist will therefore result in a linker error, or a module
+   load-time error for dynamic modules.
+
+.. c:macro:: DEFINE_KOOH(name, arglist, passlist)
+
+   Same as ``DEFINE_HOOK``, but the sense of priorities / order of callbacks
+   is reversed.  This should be used for cleanup hooks.
+
+.. c:function:: int hook_call(name, ...)
+
+   Calls the specified named hook.  Parameters to the hook are passed right
+   after the hook name, e.g.:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      hook_call(foo);
+      hook_call(bar, 0);
+      hook_call(baz, NULL, INADDR_ANY);
+
+   Returns the sum of return values from all callbacks.  The ``DEFINE_HOOK``
+   statement for the hook must be placed in the file before any ``hook_call``
+   use of the hook.
+
+
+Callback registration
+---------------------
+
+.. c:function:: void hook_register(name, int (*callback)(...))
+.. c:function:: void hook_register_prio(name, int priority, int (*callback)(...))
+.. c:function:: void hook_register_arg(name, int (*callback)(void *arg, ...), void *arg)
+.. c:function:: void hook_register_arg_prio(name, int priority, int (*callback)(void *arg, ...), void *arg)
+
+   Register a callback with an hook.  If the caller needs to pass an extra
+   argument to the callback, the _arg variant can be used and the extra
+   parameter will be passed as first argument to the callback.  There is no
+   typechecking for this argument.
+
+   The priority value is used as described above.  The variants without a
+   priority parameter use 1000 as priority value.
+
+.. c:function:: void hook_unregister(name, int (*callback)(...))
+.. c:function:: void hook_unregister_arg(name, int (*callback)(void *arg, ...), void *arg)
+
+   Removes a previously registered callback from a hook.  Note that there
+   is no _prio variant of these calls.  The priority value is only used during
+   registration.

+## Topology
+
+The goal of this test is to verify that the all the basic functionality
+of ldpd is working as expected, be it running on Linux or OpenBSD. In
+addition to that, more advanced features are also tested, like LDP
+sessions over IPv6, MD5 authentication and pseudowire signaling.
+
+In the topology below there are 3 PE routers, 3 CE routers and one P
+router (not attached to any consumer site).
+
+All routers have IPv4 addresses and OSPF is used as the IGP. The
+three routers from the bottom of the picture, P, PE2 and PE3, are also
+configured for IPv6 (dual-stack) and static IPv6 routes are used to
+provide connectivity among them.
+
+The three CEs share the same VPLS membership. LDP is used to set up the
+LSPs among the PEs and to signal the pseudowires. MD5 authentication is
+used to protect all LDP sessions.
+

+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+#### Linux
+1 - Enable IPv4/v6 forwarding:
+```
+# sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+```
+
+2 - Enable MPLS forwarding:
+```
+# modprobe mpls-router
+# modprobe mpls-iptunnel
+# echo 100000 > /proc/sys/net/mpls/platform_labels
+# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/mpls/conf/eth1/input
+# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/mpls/conf/eth2/input
+```
+
+3 - Set up the interfaces:
+```
+# ip link add name lo1 type dummy
+# ip link set dev lo1 up
+# ip addr add 4.4.4.4/32 dev lo1
+# ip -6 addr add 4:4:4::4/128 dev lo1
+# ip link set dev eth1 up
+# ip addr add 10.0.4.4/24 dev eth1
+# ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:4::4/64 dev eth1
+# ip link set dev eth2 up
+# ip addr add 10.0.3.4/24 dev eth2
+# ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:3::4/64 dev eth2
+```
+
+4 - Set up the bridge and pseudowire interfaces:
+```
+# ip link add type bridge
+# ip link set dev bridge0 up
+# ip link set dev eth0 up
+# ip link set dev eth0 master bridge0
+# ip link add name mpw0 type dummy
+# ip link set dev mpw0 up
+# ip link set dev mpw0 master bridge0
+# ip link add name mpw1 type dummy
+# ip link set dev mpw1 up
+# ip link set dev mpw1 master bridge0
+```
+
+> NOTE: MPLS support in the Linux kernel is very recent and it still
+doesn't support pseudowire interfaces. We are using here dummy interfaces
+just to show how the VPLS configuration should look like in the future.
+
+5 - Add static IPv6 routes for the remote loopbacks:
+```
+# ip -6 route add 2:2:2::2/128 via 2001:db8:3::2
+# ip -6 route add 3:3:3::3/128 via 2001:db8:4::3
+```
+
+6 - Edit /etc/frr/ospfd.conf:
+```
+router ospf
+ network 4.4.4.4/32 area 0.0.0.0
+ network 10.0.3.4/24 area 0.0.0.0
+ network 10.0.4.4/24 area 0.0.0.0

+```
+
+> NOTE: We have to disable ttl-security under the ipv6 address-family
+in order to interoperate with the IOS-XR router. GTSM is mandatory for
+LDPv6 but the IOS-XR implementation is not RFC compliant in this regard.
+
+8 - Run zebra, ospfd and ldpd.
+
+#### OpenBSD
+1 - Enable IPv4/v6 forwarding:
+```
+# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
+# sysctl net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1
+```
+
+2 - Enable MPLS forwarding:
+```
+# ifconfig em2 10.0.2.3/24 mpls
+# ifconfig em3 10.0.4.3/24 mpls
+```
+
+3 - Set up the interfaces:
+```
+# ifconfig lo1 alias 3.3.3.3 netmask 255.255.255.255
+# ifconfig lo1 inet6 3:3:3::3/128
+# ifconfig em2 inet6 2001:db8:2::3/64
+# ifconfig em3 inet6 2001:db8:4::3/64
+```
+
+4 - Set up the bridge and pseudowire interfaces:
+```
+# ifconfig bridge0 create
+# ifconfig bridge0 up
+# ifconfig em1 up
+# ifconfig bridge0 add em1
+# ifconfig mpw0 create
+# ifconfig mpw0 up
+# ifconfig bridge0 add mpw0
+# ifconfig mpw1 create
+# ifconfig mpw1 up
+# ifconfig bridge0 add mpw1
+```
+
+5 - Add static IPv6 routes for the remote loopbacks:
+```
+# route -n add 4:4:4::4/128 2001:db8:4::4
+# route -n add 2:2:2::2/128 2001:db8:2::2
+```

+is working as expected.

+First, verify that all the required adjacencies and neighborships sessions
+were established:

+```
+
+Note that the neighborships with the P and PE2 routers were established
+over IPv6, since this is the default behavior for dual-stack LSRs, as
+specified in RFC 7552. If desired, the **dual-stack transport-connection
+prefer ipv4** command can be used to establish these sessions over IPv4
+(the command should be applied an all routers).
+
+Now, verify that there's a remote label for each PE address:

+Link State API Documentation
+============================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The Link State (LS) API aims to provide a set of structures and functions to
+build and manage a Traffic Engineering Database for the various FRR daemons.
+This API has been designed for several use cases:
+
+- BGP Link State (BGP-LS): where BGP protocol need to collect the link state
+  information from the routing daemons (IS-IS and/or OSPF) to implement RFC7572
+- Path Computation Element (PCE): where path computation algorithms are based
+  on Traffic Engineering Database
+- ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP): where signaling need to know the Traffic
+  Engineering topology of the network in order to determine the path of
+  RSVP tunnels
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+The main requirements from the various uses cases are as follow:
+
+- Provides a set of data model and function to ease Link State information
+  manipulation (storage, serialize, parse ...)
+- Ease and normalize Link State information exchange between FRR daemons
+- Provides database structure for Traffic Engineering Database (TED)
+
+To ease Link State understanding, FRR daemons have been classified into two
+categories:
+
+- **Consumer**: Daemons that consume Link State information e.g. BGPd
+- **Producer**: Daemons that are able to collect Link State information and
+  send them to consumer daemons e.g. OSPFd IS-ISd
+
+Zebra daemon, and more precisely, the ZAPI message is used to convey the Link
+State information between *producer* and *consumer*, but, Zebra acts as a
+simple pass through and does not store any Link State information. A new ZAPI
+**Opaque** message has been design for that purpose.
+
+Each consumer and producer daemons are free to store or not Link State data and
+organise the information following the Traffic Engineering Database model
+provided by the API or any other data structure e.g. Hash, RB-tree ...
+
+Link State API
+--------------
+
+This is the low level API that allows any daemons manipulate the Link State
+elements that are stored in the Link State Database.
+
+Data structures
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+3 types of Link State structure have been defined:
+
+.. c:struct:: ls_node
+
+   that groups all information related to a node
+
+.. c:struct:: ls_attributes
+
+   that groups all information related to a link
+
+.. c:struct:: ls_prefix
+
+   that groups all information related to a prefix
+
+These 3 types of structures are those handled by BGP-LS (see RFC7752) and
+suitable to describe a Traffic Engineering topology.
+
+Each structure, in addition to the specific parameters, embed the node
+identifier which advertises the Link State and a bit mask as flags to
+indicates which parameters are valid i.e. for which the value is valid and
+corresponds to a Link State information conveyed by the routing protocol.
+
+.. c:struct:: ls_node_id
+
+   defines the Node identifier as router ID IPv4 address plus the area ID for
+   OSPF or the ISO System ID plus the IS-IS level for IS-IS.
+
+Functions
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+A set of functions is provided to create, delete and compare Link State
+Node, Atribute and Prefix:
+
+.. c:function:: struct ls_node *ls_node_new(struct ls_node_id adv, struct in_addr router_id, struct in6_addr router6_id)
+.. c:function:: struct ls_attributes *ls_attributes_new(struct ls_node_id adv, struct in_addr local, struct in6_addr local6, uint32_t local_id)
+.. c:function:: struct ls_prefix *ls_prefix_new(struct ls_node_id adv, struct prefix p)
+
+   Create respectively a new Link State Node, Attribute or Prefix.
+   Structure is dynamically allocated. Link State Node ID (adv) is mandatory
+   and:
+
+   - at least one of IPv4 or IPv6 must be provided for the router ID
+     (router_id or router6_id) for Node
+   - at least one of local, local6 or local_id must be provided for Attribute
+   - prefix is mandatory for Link State Prefix.
+
+.. c:function:: void ls_node_del(struct ls_node *node)
+.. c:function:: void ls_attributes_del(struct ls_attributes *attr)
+.. c:function:: void ls_prefix_del(struct ls_prefix *pref)
+
+   Remove, respectively Link State Node, Attributes or Prefix.
+   Data structure is freed.
+
+.. c:function:: void ls_attributes_srlg_del(struct ls_attributes *attr)
+
+   Remove SRLGs attribute if defined. Data structure is freed.
+
+.. c:function:: int ls_node_same(struct ls_node *n1, struct ls_node *n2)
+.. c:function:: int ls_attributes_same(struct ls_attributes *a1, struct ls_attributes *a2)
+.. c:function:: int ls_prefix_same(struct ls_prefix *p1, struct ls_prefix*p2)
+
+   Check, respectively if two Link State Nodes, Attributes or Prefix are equal.
+   Note that these routines have the same return value sense as '==' (which is
+   different from a comparison).
+
+
+Link State TED
+--------------
+
+This is the high level API that provides functions to create, update, delete a
+Link State Database to build a Traffic Engineering Database (TED).
+
+Data Structures
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Traffic Engineering is modeled as a Graph in order to ease Path Computation
+algorithm implementation. Denoted **G(V, E)**, a graph is composed by a list of
+**Vertices (V)** which represents the network Node and a list of **Edges (E)**
+which represents Link. An additional list of **prefixes (P)** is also added and
+also attached to the *Vertex (V)* which advertise it.
+
+*Vertex (V)* contains the list of outgoing *Edges (E)* that connect this Vertex
+with its direct neighbors and the list of incoming *Edges (E)* that connect
+the direct neighbors to this Vertex. Indeed, the *Edge (E)* is unidirectional,
+thus, it is necessary to add 2 Edges to model a bidirectional relation between
+2 Vertices. Finally, the *Vertex (V)* contains a pointer to the corresponding
+Link State Node.
+
+*Edge (E)* contains the source and destination Vertex that this Edge
+is connecting and a pointer to the corresponding Link State Attributes.
+
+A unique Key is used to identify both Vertices and Edges within the Graph.

+4 data structures have been defined to implement the Graph model:
+
+.. c:struct:: ls_vertex
+.. c:struct:: ls_edge
+.. c:struct:: ls_ted
+
+ - :c:struct:`ls_prefix`
+
+TED stores Vertex, Edge and Subnet elements with a RB Tree structure.
+The Vertex key corresponds to the Router ID for OSPF and ISO System ID for
+IS-IS. The Edge key corresponds to the IPv4 address, the lowest 64 bits of
+the IPv6 address or the combination of the local & remote ID of the interface.
+The Subnet key corresponds to the Prefix address (v4 or v6).
+
+An additional status for Vertex, Edge and Subnet allows to determine the state
+of the element in the TED: UNSET, NEW, UPDATE, DELETE, SYNC, ORPHAN. Normal
+state is SYNC. NEW, UPDATE and DELETE are temporary state when element is
+processed. UNSET is normally never used and ORPHAN serves to identify elements
+that must be remove when TED is cleaning.

+
+Link State Messages
+-------------------
+
+This part of the API provides functions and data structure to ease the
+communication between the *Producer* and *Consumer* daemons.
+
+Communications principles
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Recent ZAPI Opaque Message is used to exchange Link State data between daemons.
+For that purpose, Link State API provides new functions to serialize and parse
+Link State information through the ZAPI Opaque message. A dedicated flag,
+named ZAPI_OPAQUE_FLAG_UNICAST, allows daemons to send a unicast or a multicast
+Opaque message and is used as follow for the Link State exchange:
+
+- Multicast: To send data update to all daemons that have subscribed to the
+  Link State Update message
+- Unicast: To send initial Link State information from a particular daemon. All
+  data are send only to the daemon that request Link State Synchronisatio
+
+Figure 1 below, illustrates the ZAPI Opaque message exchange between a
+*Producer* (an IGP like OSPF or IS-IS) and a *Consumer* (e.g. BGP). The
+message sequences are as follows:
+
+- First, both *Producer* and *Consumer* must register to their respective ZAPI
+  Opaque Message: **Link State Sync** for the *Producer* in order to receive
+  Database synchronisation request from a *Consumer*, **Link State Update** for
+  the *Consumer* in order to received any Link State update from a *Producer*.
+  These register messages are stored by Zebra to determine to which daemon it
+  should redistribute the ZAPI messages it receives.
+- Then, the *Consumer* sends a **Link State Synchronistation** request with the
+  Multicast method in order to receive the complete Link State Database from a
+  *Producer*. ZEBRA daemon forwards this message to any *Producer* daemons that
+  previously registered to this message. If no *Producer* has yet registered,
+  the request is lost. Thus, if the *Consumer* receives no response whithin a
+  given timer, it means that no *Producer* are available right now. So, the
+  *Consumer* must send the same request until it receives a Link State Database
+  Synchronistation message. This behaviour is necessary as we can't control in
+  which order daemons are started. It is up to the *Consumer* daemon to fix the
+  timeout and the number of retry.
+- When a *Producer* receives a **Link State Synchronisation** request, it
+  starts sending all elements of its own Link State Database through the
+  **Link State Database Synchronisation** message. These messages are send with
+  the Unicast method to avoid flooding other daemons with these elements. ZEBRA
+  layer ensures to forward the message to the right daemon.
+- When a *Producer* update its Link State Database, it automatically sends a
+  **Link State Update** message with the Multicast method. In turn, ZEBRA
+  daemon forwards the message to all *Consumer* daemons that previously
+  registered to this message. if no daemon is registered, the message is lost.
+- A daemon could unregister from the ZAPI Opaque message registry at any time.
+  In this case, the ZEBRA daemon stops to forward any messages it receives to
+  this daemon, even if it was previously converns.

+
+Data Structures
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Link State Message is defined to convey Link State parameters from
+the routing protocol (OSPF or IS-IS) to other daemons e.g. BGP.
+
+.. c:struct:: ls_message
+
+The structure is composed of:
+
+- Event of the message:
+
+  - Sync: Send the whole LS DB following a request
+  - Add: Send the a new Link State element
+  - Update: Send an update of an existing Link State element
+  - Delete: Indicate that the given Link State element is removed
+
+- Type of Link State element: Node, Attribute or Prefix
+- Remote node id when known
+- Data: Node, Attributes or Prefix
+
+A Link State Message can carry only one Link State Element (Node, Attributes
+of Prefix) at once, and only one Link State Message is sent through ZAPI
+Opaque Link State type at once.
+
+Functions
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. c:function:: int ls_register(struct zclient *zclient, bool server)
+.. c:function:: int ls_unregister(struct zclient *zclient, bool server)
+
+   Register / Unregister daemon to received ZAPI Link State Opaque messages.
+   Server must be set to true for *Producer* and to false for *Consumer*.
+
+.. c:function:: int ls_request_sync(struct zclient *zclient)
+
+   Request initial Synchronisation to collect the whole Link State Database.
+
+.. c:function:: struct ls_message *ls_parse_msg(struct stream *s)
+
+   Parse Link State Message from stream. Used this function once receiving a
+   new ZAPI Opaque message of type Link State.
+
+.. c:function:: void ls_delete_msg(struct ls_message *msg)
+
+   Delete existing message. Data structure is freed.
+
+.. c:function:: int ls_send_msg(struct zclient *zclient, struct ls_message *msg, struct zapi_opaque_reg_info *dst)
+
+   Send Link State Message as new ZAPI Opaque message of type Link State.
+   If destination is not NULL, message is sent as Unicast otherwise it is
+   broadcast to all registered daemon.
+
+.. c:function:: struct ls_message *ls_vertex2msg(struct ls_message *msg, struct ls_vertex *vertex)
+.. c:function:: struct ls_message *ls_edge2msg(struct ls_message *msg, struct ls_edge *edge)
+.. c:function:: struct ls_message *ls_subnet2msg(struct ls_message *msg, struct ls_subnet *subnet)
+
+   Create respectively a new Link State Message from a Link State Vertex, Edge
+   or Subnet. If Link State Message is NULL, a new data structure is
+   dynamically allocated. Note that the Vertex, Edge and Subnet status is used
+   to determine the corresponding Link State Message event: ADD, UPDATE,
+   DELETE, SYNC.
+
+.. c:function:: int ls_msg2vertex(struct ls_ted *ted, struct ls_message *msg)
+.. c:function:: int ls_msg2edge(struct ls_ted *ted, struct ls_message *msg)
+.. c:function:: int ls_msg2subnet(struct ls_ted *ted, struct ls_message *msg)
+
+   Convert Link State Message respectively in Vertex, Edge or Subnet and
+   update the Link State Database accordingly to the message event: SYNC, ADD,
+   UPDATE or DELETE.
+
+.. c:function:: struct ls_element *ls_msg2ted(struct ls_ted *ted, struct ls_message *msg, bool delete)
+.. c:function:: struct ls_element *ls_stream2ted(struct ls_ted *ted, struct ls_message *msg, bool delete)
+
+   Convert Link State Message or Stream Buffer in a Link State element (Vertex,
+   Edge or Subnet) and update the Link State Database accordingly to the
+   message event: SYNC, ADD, UPDATE or DELETE. The function return the generic
+   structure ls_element that point to the Vertex, Edge or Subnet which has been
+   added, updated or synchronous in the database. Note that the delete boolean
+   parameter governs the action for the DELETE action: true, Link State Element
+   is removed from the database and NULL is return. If set to false, database
+   is not updated and the function sets the Link State Element status to
+   Delete and return the element for futur deletion by the calling function.
+
+.. c:function:: int ls_sync_ted(struct ls_ted *ted, struct zclient *zclient, struct zapi_opaque_reg_info *dst)
+
+   Send all the content of the Link State Data Base to the given destination.
+   Link State content is sent is this order: Vertices, Edges then Subnet.
+   This function must be used when a daemon request a Link State Data Base
+   Synchronization.

+Type-safe containers
+====================
+
+.. note::
+
+   This section previously used the term *list*; it was changed to *container*
+   to be more clear.
+
+Common container interface
+--------------------------
+
+FRR includes a set of container implementations with abstracted
+common APIs.  The purpose of this is easily allow swapping out one
+data structure for another while also making the code easier to read and write.
+There is one API for unsorted containers and a similar but not identical API
+for sorted containers - and heaps use a middle ground of both.
+
+For unsorted containers, the following implementations exist:
+
+- single-linked list with tail pointer (e.g. STAILQ in BSD)
+
+- double-linked list
+
+- atomic single-linked list with tail pointer
+
+
+Being partially sorted, the oddball structure:
+
+- an 8-ary heap
+
+
+For sorted containers, these data structures are implemented:
+
+- single-linked list
+
+- atomic single-linked list
+
+- skiplist
+
+- red-black tree (based on OpenBSD RB_TREE)
+
+- hash table (note below)
+
+Except for hash tables, each of the sorted data structures has a variant with
+unique and non-unique items.  Hash tables always require unique items
+and mostly follow the "sorted" API but use the hash value as sorting
+key.  Also, iterating while modifying does not work with hash tables.
+Conversely, the heap always has non-unique items, but iterating while modifying
+doesn't work either.
+
+
+The following sorted structures are likely to be implemented at some point
+in the future:
+
+- atomic skiplist
+
+- atomic hash table (note below)
+
+
+The APIs are all designed to be as type-safe as possible.  This means that
+there will be a compiler warning when an item doesn't match the container, or
+the return value has a different type, or other similar situations.  **You
+should never use casts with these APIs.**  If a cast is necessary in relation
+to these APIs, there is probably something wrong with the overall design.
+
+Only the following pieces use dynamically allocated memory:
+
+- the hash table itself is dynamically grown and shrunk
+
+- skiplists store up to 4 next pointers inline but will dynamically allocate
+  memory to hold an item's 5th up to 16th next pointer (if they exist)
+
+- the heap uses a dynamically grown and shrunk array of items

+
+Datastructure type setup
+------------------------
+
+Each of the data structures has a ``PREDECL_*`` and a ``DECLARE_*`` macro to
+set up an "instantiation" of the container.  This works somewhat similar to C++
+templating, though much simpler.
+
+**In all following text, the Z prefix is replaced with a name chosen
+for the instance of the datastructure.**
+
+The common setup pattern will look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   #include <typesafe.h>
+
+   PREDECL_XXX(Z);
+   struct item {
+       int otherdata;
+       struct Z_item mylistitem;
+   }
+
+   struct Z_head mylisthead;
+
+   /* unsorted: */
+   DECLARE_XXX(Z, struct item, mylistitem);
+
+   /* sorted, items that compare as equal cannot be added to list */
+   int compare_func(const struct item *a, const struct item *b);
+   DECLARE_XXX_UNIQ(Z, struct item, mylistitem, compare_func);
+
+   /* sorted, items that compare as equal can be added to list */
+   int compare_func(const struct item *a, const struct item *b);
+   DECLARE_XXX_NONUNIQ(Z, struct item, mylistitem, compare_func);
+
+   /* hash tables: */
+   int compare_func(const struct item *a, const struct item *b);
+   uint32_t hash_func(const struct item *a);
+   DECLARE_XXX(Z, struct item, mylistitem, compare_func, hash_func);
+
+``XXX`` is replaced with the name of the data structure, e.g. ``SKIPLIST``
+or ``ATOMLIST``.  The ``DECLARE_XXX`` invocation can either occur in a `.h`
+file (if the container needs to be accessed from several C files) or it can be
+placed in a `.c` file (if the container is only accessed from that file.)  The
+``PREDECL_XXX`` invocation defines the ``struct Z_item`` and ``struct
+Z_head`` types and must therefore occur before these are used.
+
+To switch between compatible data structures, only these two lines need to be
+changes.  To switch to a data structure with a different API, some source
+changes are necessary.
+
+Common iteration macros
+-----------------------
+
+The following iteration macros work across all data structures:
+
+.. c:macro:: frr_each(Z, head, item)
+
+   Equivalent to:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      for (item = Z_first(&head); item; item = Z_next(&head, item))
+
+   Note that this will fail if the container is modified while being iterated
+   over.
+
+.. c:macro:: frr_each_safe(Z, head, item)
+
+   Same as the previous, but the next element is pre-loaded into a "hidden"
+   variable (named ``Z_safe``.)  Equivalent to:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      for (item = Z_first(&head); item; item = next) {
+          next = Z_next_safe(&head, item);
+          ...
+      }
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      Iterating over hash tables while adding or removing items is not
+      possible.  The iteration position will be corrupted when the hash
+      tables is resized while iterating.  This will cause items to be
+      skipped or iterated over twice.
+
+.. c:macro:: frr_each_from(Z, head, item, from)
+
+   Iterates over the container, starting at item ``from``.  This variant is
+   "safe" as in the previous macro.  Equivalent to:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      for (item = from; item; item = from) {
+          from = Z_next_safe(&head, item);
+          ...
+      }
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The ``from`` variable is written to.  This is intentional - you can
+      resume iteration after breaking out of the loop by keeping the ``from``
+      value persistent and reusing it for the next loop.
+
+.. c:macro:: frr_rev_each(Z, head, item)
+.. c:macro:: frr_rev_each_safe(Z, head, item)
+.. c:macro:: frr_rev_each_from(Z, head, item, from)
+
+   Reverse direction variants of the above.  Only supported on containers that
+   implement ``_last`` and ``_prev`` (i.e. ``RBTREE`` and ``DLIST``).
+
+To iterate over ``const`` pointers, add ``_const`` to the name of the
+datastructure (``Z`` above), e.g. ``frr_each (mylist, head, item)`` becomes
+``frr_each (mylist_const, head, item)``.
+
+Common API
+----------
+
+The following documentation assumes that a container has been defined using
+``Z`` as the name, and ``itemtype`` being the type of the items (e.g.
+``struct item``.)
+
+.. c:function:: void Z_init(struct Z_head *)
+
+   Initializes the container for use.  For most implementations, this just sets
+   some values.  Hash tables are the only implementation that allocates
+   memory in this call.
+
+.. c:function:: void Z_fini(struct Z_head *)
+
+   Reverse the effects of :c:func:`Z_init()`.  The container must be empty
+   when this function is called.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      This function may ``assert()`` if the container is not empty.
+
+.. c:function:: size_t Z_count(const struct Z_head *)
+
+   Returns the number of items in a structure.  All structures store a
+   counter in their `Z_head` so that calling this function completes
+   in O(1).
+
+   .. note::
+
+      For atomic containers with concurrent access, the value will already be
+      outdated by the time this function returns and can therefore only be
+      used as an estimate.
+
+.. c:function:: bool Z_member(const struct Z_head *, const itemtype *)
+
+   Determines whether some item is a member of the given container.  The
+   item must either be valid on some container, or set to all zeroes.
+
+   On some containers, if no faster way to determine membership is possible,
+   this is simply ``item == Z_find(head, item)``.
+
+   Not currently available for atomic containers.
+
+.. c:function:: const itemtype *Z_const_first(const struct Z_head *)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_first(struct Z_head *)
+
+   Returns the first item in the structure, or ``NULL`` if the structure is
+   empty.  This is O(1) for all data structures except red-black trees
+   where it is O(log n).
+
+.. c:function:: const itemtype *Z_const_last(const struct Z_head *)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_last(struct Z_head *)
+
+   Last item in the structure, or ``NULL``.  Only available on containers
+   that support reverse iteration (i.e. ``RBTREE`` and ``DLIST``).
+
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_pop(struct Z_head *)
+
+   Remove and return the first item in the structure, or ``NULL`` if the
+   structure is empty.  Like :c:func:`Z_first`, this is O(1) for all
+   data structures except red-black trees where it is O(log n) again.
+
+   This function can be used to build queues (with unsorted structures) or
+   priority queues (with sorted structures.)
+
+   Another common pattern is deleting all container items:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      while ((item = Z_pop(head)))
+          item_free(item);
+
+   .. note::
+
+      This function can - and should - be used with hash tables.  It is not
+      affected by the "modification while iterating" problem.  To remove
+      all items from a hash table, use the loop demonstrated above.
+
+.. c:function:: const itemtype *Z_const_next(const struct Z_head *, const itemtype *prev)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_next(struct Z_head *, itemtype *prev)
+
+   Return the item that follows after ``prev``, or ``NULL`` if ``prev`` is
+   the last item.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      ``prev`` must not be ``NULL``!  Use :c:func:`Z_next_safe()` if
+      ``prev`` might be ``NULL``.
+
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_next_safe(struct Z_head *, itemtype *prev)
+
+   Same as :c:func:`Z_next()`, except that ``NULL`` is returned if
+   ``prev`` is ``NULL``.
+
+.. c:function:: const itemtype *Z_const_prev(const struct Z_head *, const itemtype *next)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_prev(struct Z_head *, itemtype *next)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_prev_safe(struct Z_head *, itemtype *next)
+
+   As above, but preceding item.  Only available on structures that support
+   reverse iteration (i.e. ``RBTREE`` and ``DLIST``).
+
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_del(struct Z_head *, itemtype *item)
+
+   Remove ``item`` from the container and return it.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      This function's behaviour is undefined if ``item`` is not actually
+      on the container.  Some structures return ``NULL`` in this case while
+      others return ``item``.  The function may also call ``assert()`` (but
+      most don't.)
+
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_swap_all(struct Z_head *, struct Z_head *)
+
+   Swap the contents of 2 containers (of identical type).  This exchanges the
+   contents of the two head structures and updates pointers if necessary for
+   the particular data structure.  Fast for all structures.
+
+   (Not currently available on atomic containers.)

+
+API for unsorted structures
+---------------------------
+
+Since the insertion position is not pre-defined for unsorted data, there
+are several functions exposed to insert data:
+
+.. note::
+
+   ``item`` must not be ``NULL`` for any of the following functions.
+
+.. c:macro:: DECLARE_XXX(Z, type, field)
+
+   :param listtype XXX: ``LIST``, ``DLIST`` or ``ATOMLIST`` to select a data
+      structure implementation.
+   :param token Z: Gives the name prefix that is used for the functions
+      created for this instantiation.  ``DECLARE_XXX(foo, ...)``
+      gives ``struct foo_item``, ``foo_add_head()``, ``foo_count()``, etc.  Note
+      that this must match the value given in ``PREDECL_XXX(foo)``.
+   :param typename type: Specifies the data type of the list items, e.g.
+      ``struct item``.  Note that ``struct`` must be added here, it is not
+      automatically added.
+   :param token field: References a struct member of ``type`` that must be
+      typed as ``struct foo_item``.  This struct member is used to
+      store "next" pointers or other data structure specific data.
+
+.. c:function:: void Z_add_head(struct Z_head *, itemtype *item)
+
+   Insert an item at the beginning of the structure, before the first item.
+   This is an O(1) operation for non-atomic lists.
+
+.. c:function:: void Z_add_tail(struct Z_head *, itemtype *item)
+
+   Insert an item at the end of the structure, after the last item.
+   This is also an O(1) operation for non-atomic lists.
+
+.. c:function:: void Z_add_after(struct Z_head *, itemtype *after, itemtype *item)
+
+   Insert ``item`` behind ``after``. If ``after`` is ``NULL``, the item is
+   inserted at the beginning of the list as with :c:func:`Z_add_head`.
+   This is also an O(1) operation for non-atomic lists.
+
+   A common pattern is to keep a "previous" pointer around while iterating:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      itemtype *prev = NULL, *item;
+
+      frr_each_safe(Z, head, item) {
+          if (something) {
+              Z_add_after(head, prev, item);
+              break;
+          }
+          prev = item;
+      }
+
+   .. todo::
+
+      maybe flip the order of ``item`` & ``after``?
+      ``Z_add_after(head, item, after)``
+
+.. c:function:: bool Z_anywhere(const itemtype *)
+
+   Returns whether an item is a member of *any* container of this type.
+   The item must either be valid on some container, or set to all zeroes.
+
+   Guaranteed to be fast (pointer compare or similar.)
+
+   Not currently available for sorted and atomic containers.  Might be added
+   for sorted containers at some point (when needed.)
+
+
+API for sorted structures
+-------------------------
+
+Sorted data structures do not need to have an insertion position specified,
+therefore the insertion calls are different from unsorted containers.  Also,
+sorted containers can be searched for a value.
+
+.. c:macro:: DECLARE_XXX_UNIQ(Z, type, field, compare_func)
+
+   :param listtype XXX: One of the following:
+       ``SORTLIST`` (single-linked sorted list), ``SKIPLIST`` (skiplist),
+       ``RBTREE`` (RB-tree) or ``ATOMSORT`` (atomic single-linked list).
+   :param token Z: Gives the name prefix that is used for the functions
+      created for this instantiation.  ``DECLARE_XXX(foo, ...)``
+      gives ``struct foo_item``, ``foo_add()``, ``foo_count()``, etc.  Note
+      that this must match the value given in ``PREDECL_XXX(foo)``.
+   :param typename type: Specifies the data type of the items, e.g.
+      ``struct item``.  Note that ``struct`` must be added here, it is not
+      automatically added.
+   :param token field: References a struct member of ``type`` that must be
+      typed as ``struct foo_item``.  This struct member is used to
+      store "next" pointers or other data structure specific data.
+   :param funcptr compare_func: Item comparison function, must have the
+      following function signature:
+      ``int function(const itemtype *, const itemtype*)``.  This function
+      may be static if the container is only used in one file.
+
+.. c:macro:: DECLARE_XXX_NONUNIQ(Z, type, field, compare_func)
+
+   Same as above, but allow adding multiple items to the container that compare
+   as equal in ``compare_func``.  Ordering between these items is undefined
+   and depends on the container implementation.
+
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_add(struct Z_head *, itemtype *item)
+
+   Insert an item at the appropriate sorted position.  If another item exists
+   in the container that compares as equal (``compare_func()`` == 0), ``item``
+   is not inserted and the already-existing item in the container is
+   returned.  Otherwise, on successful insertion, ``NULL`` is returned.
+
+   For ``_NONUNIQ`` containers, this function always returns NULL since
+   ``item`` can always be successfully added to the container.
+
+.. c:function:: const itemtype *Z_const_find(const struct Z_head *, const itemtype *ref)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_find(struct Z_head *, const itemtype *ref)
+
+   Search the container for an item that compares equal to ``ref``.  If no
+   equal item is found, return ``NULL``.
+
+   This function is likely used with a temporary stack-allocated value for
+   ``ref`` like so:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      itemtype searchfor = { .foo = 123 };
+
+      itemtype *item = Z_find(head, &searchfor);
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The ``Z_find()`` function is only available for containers that contain
+      unique items (i.e. ``DECLARE_XXX_UNIQ``.)  This is because on a container
+      with non-unique items, more than one item may compare as equal to
+      the item that is searched for.
+
+.. c:function:: const itemtype *Z_const_find_gteq(const struct Z_head *, const itemtype *ref)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_find_gteq(struct Z_head *, const itemtype *ref)
+
+   Search the container for an item that compares greater or equal to
+   ``ref``.  See :c:func:`Z_find()` above.
+
+.. c:function:: const itemtype *Z_const_find_lt(const struct Z_head *, const itemtype *ref)
+.. c:function:: itemtype *Z_find_lt(struct Z_head *, const itemtype *ref)
+
+   Search the container for an item that compares less than
+   ``ref``.  See :c:func:`Z_find()` above.
+
+
+API for hash tables
+-------------------
+
+.. c:macro:: DECLARE_HASH(Z, type, field, compare_func, hash_func)
+
+   :param listtype HASH: Only ``HASH`` is currently available.
+   :param token Z: Gives the name prefix that is used for the functions
+      created for this instantiation.  ``DECLARE_XXX(foo, ...)``
+      gives ``struct foo_item``, ``foo_add()``, ``foo_count()``, etc.  Note
+      that this must match the value given in ``PREDECL_XXX(foo)``.
+   :param typename type: Specifies the data type of the items, e.g.
+      ``struct item``.  Note that ``struct`` must be added here, it is not
+      automatically added.
+   :param token field: References a struct member of ``type`` that must be
+      typed as ``struct foo_item``.  This struct member is used to
+      store "next" pointers or other data structure specific data.
+   :param funcptr compare_func: Item comparison function, must have the
+      following function signature:
+      ``int function(const itemtype *, const itemtype*)``.  This function
+      may be static if the container is only used in one file.  For hash tables,
+      this function is only used to check for equality, the ordering is
+      ignored.
+   :param funcptr hash_func: Hash calculation function, must have the
+      following function signature:
+      ``uint32_t function(const itemtype *)``.  The hash value for items
+      stored in a hash table is cached in each item, so this value need not
+      be cached by the user code.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      Items that compare as equal cannot be inserted.  Refer to the notes
+      about sorted structures in the previous section.
+
+
+.. c:function:: void Z_init_size(struct Z_head *, size_t size)
+
+   Same as :c:func:`Z_init()` but preset the minimum hash table to
+   ``size``.
+
+Hash tables also support :c:func:`Z_add()` and :c:func:`Z_find()` with
+the same semantics as noted above. :c:func:`Z_find_gteq()` and
+:c:func:`Z_find_lt()` are **not** provided for hash tables.
+
+Hash table invariants
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are several ways to injure yourself using the hash table API.
+
+First, note that there are two functions related to computing uniqueness of
+objects inserted into the hash table. There is a hash function and a comparison
+function. The hash function computes the hash of the object. Our hash table
+implementation uses `chaining
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Separate_chaining_with_linked_lists>`_.
+This means that your hash function does not have to be perfect; multiple
+objects having the same computed hash will be placed into a linked list
+corresponding to that key. The closer to perfect the hash function, the better
+performance, as items will be more evenly distributed and the chain length will
+not be long on any given lookup, minimizing the number of list operations
+required to find the correct item. However, the comparison function *must* be
+perfect, in the sense that any two unique items inserted into the hash table
+must compare not equal. At insertion time, if you try to insert an item that
+compares equal to an existing item the insertion will not happen and
+``hash_get()`` will return the existing item. However, this invariant *must* be
+maintained while the object is in the hash table. Suppose you insert items
+``A`` and ``B`` into the hash table which both hash to the same value ``1234``
+but do not compare equal. They will be placed in a chain like so::
+
+   1234 : A -> B
+
+Now suppose you do something like this elsewhere in the code::
+
+   *A = *B
+
+I.e. you copy all fields of ``B`` into ``A``, such that the comparison function
+now says that they are equal based on their contents. At this point when you
+look up ``B`` in the hash table, ``hash_get()`` will search the chain for the
+first item that compares equal to ``B``, which will be ``A``. This leads to
+insidious bugs.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Never modify the values looked at by the comparison or hash functions after
+   inserting an item into a hash table.
+
+A similar situation can occur with the hash allocation function. ``hash_get()``
+accepts a function pointer that it will call to get the item that should be
+inserted into the list if the provided item is not already present. There is a
+builtin function, ``hash_alloc_intern``, that will simply return the item you
+provided; if you always want to store the value you pass to ``hash_get`` you
+should use this one. If you choose to provide a different one, that function
+*must* return a new item that hashes and compares equal to the one you provided
+to ``hash_get()``. If it does not the behavior of the hash table is undefined.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Always make sure your hash allocation function returns a value that hashes
+   and compares equal to the item you provided to ``hash_get()``.
+
+Finally, if you maintain pointers to items you have inserted into a hash table,
+then before deallocating them you must release them from the hash table. This
+is basic memory management but worth repeating as bugs have arisen from failure
+to do this.
+
+
+API for heaps
+-------------
+
+Heaps provide the same API as the sorted data structures, except:
+
+* none of the find functions (:c:func:`Z_find()`, :c:func:`Z_find_gteq()`
+  or :c:func:`Z_find_lt()`) are available.
+* iterating over the heap yields the items in semi-random order, only the
+  first item is guaranteed to be in order and actually the "lowest" item
+  on the heap.  Being a heap, only the rebalancing performed on removing the
+  first item (either through :c:func:`Z_pop()` or :c:func:`Z_del()`) causes
+  the new lowest item to bubble up to the front.
+* all heap modifications are O(log n).  However, cacheline efficiency and
+  latency is likely quite a bit better than with other data structures.
+
+Atomic lists
+------------
+
+`atomlist.h` provides an unsorted and a sorted atomic single-linked list.
+Since atomic memory accesses can be considerably slower than plain memory
+accessses (depending on the CPU type), these lists should only be used where
+necessary.
+
+The following guarantees are provided regarding concurrent access:
+
+- the operations are lock-free but not wait-free.
+
+  Lock-free means that it is impossible for all threads to be blocked.  Some
+  thread will always make progress, regardless of what other threads do.  (This
+  even includes a random thread being stopped by a debugger in a random
+  location.)
+
+  Wait-free implies that the time any single thread might spend in one of the
+  calls is bounded.  This is not provided here since it is not normally
+  relevant to practical operations.  What this means is that if some thread is
+  hammering a particular list with requests, it is possible that another
+  thread is blocked for an extended time.  The lock-free guarantee still
+  applies since the hammering thread is making progress.
+
+- without a RCU mechanism in place, the point of contention for atomic lists
+  is memory deallocation.  As it is, **a rwlock is required for correct
+  operation**.  The *read* lock must be held for all accesses, including
+  reading the list, adding items to the list, and removing items from the
+  list.  The *write* lock must be acquired and released before deallocating
+  any list element.  If this is not followed, an use-after-free can occur
+  as a MT race condition when an element gets deallocated while another
+  thread is accessing the list.
+
+  .. note::
+
+     The *write* lock does not need to be held for deleting items from the
+     list, and there should not be any instructions between the
+     ``pthread_rwlock_wrlock`` and ``pthread_rwlock_unlock``.  The write lock
+     is used as a sequence point, not as an exclusion mechanism.
+
+- insertion operations are always safe to do with the read lock held.
+  Added items are immediately visible after the insertion call returns and
+  should not be touched anymore.
+
+- when removing a *particular* (pre-determined) item, the caller must ensure
+  that no other thread is attempting to remove that same item.  If this cannot
+  be guaranteed by architecture, a separate lock might need to be added.
+
+- concurrent `pop` calls are always safe to do with only the read lock held.
+  This does not fall under the previous rule since the `pop` call will select
+  the next item if the first is already being removed by another thread.
+
+  **Deallocation locking still applies.**  Assume another thread starts
+  reading the list, but gets task-switched by the kernel while reading the
+  first item.  `pop` will happily remove and return that item.  If it is
+  deallocated without acquiring and releasing the write lock, the other thread
+  will later resume execution and try to access the now-deleted element.
+
+- the list count should be considered an estimate.  Since there might be
+  concurrent insertions or removals in progress, it might already be outdated
+  by the time the call returns.  No attempt is made to have it be correct even
+  for a nanosecond.
+
+Overall, atomic lists are well-suited for MT queues; concurrent insertion,
+iteration and removal operations will work with the read lock held.
+
+Code snippets
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Iteration:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct item *i;
+
+   pthread_rwlock_rdlock(&itemhead_rwlock);
+   frr_each(itemlist, &itemhead, i) {
+     /* lock must remain held while iterating */
+     ...
+   }
+   pthread_rwlock_unlock(&itemhead_rwlock);
+
+Head removal (pop) and deallocation:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct item *i;
+
+   pthread_rwlock_rdlock(&itemhead_rwlock);
+   i = itemlist_pop(&itemhead);
+   pthread_rwlock_unlock(&itemhead_rwlock);
+
+   /* i might still be visible for another thread doing an
+    * frr_each() (but won't be returned by another pop()) */
+   ...
+
+   pthread_rwlock_wrlock(&itemhead_rwlock);
+   pthread_rwlock_unlock(&itemhead_rwlock);
+   /* i now guaranteed to be gone from the list.
+    * note nothing between wrlock() and unlock() */
+   XFREE(MTYPE_ITEM, i);
+
+FAQ
+---
+
+What are the semantics of ``const`` in the container APIs?
+   ``const`` pointers to list heads and/or items are interpreted to mean that
+   both the container itself as well as the data items are read-only.
+
+Why is it ``PREDECL`` + ``DECLARE`` instead of ``DECLARE`` + ``DEFINE``?
+   The rule is that a ``DEFINE`` must be in a ``.c`` file, and linked exactly
+   once because it defines some kind of global symbol.  This is not the case
+   for the data structure macros;  they only define ``static`` symbols and it
+   is perfectly fine to include both ``PREDECL`` and ``DECLARE`` in a header
+   file.  It is also perfectly fine to have the same ``DECLARE`` statement in
+   2 ``.c`` files, but only **if the macro arguments are identical.**  Maybe
+   don't do that unless you really need it.

+Locking
+=======
+
+FRR ships two small wrappers around ``pthread_mutex_lock()`` /
+``pthread_mutex_unlock``.  Use ``#include "frr_pthread.h"`` to get these
+macros.
+
+.. c:macro:: frr_with_mutex (mutex)
+
+   (With ``pthread_mutex_t *mutex``.)
+
+   Begin a C statement block that is executed with the mutex locked.  Any
+   exit from the block (``break``, ``return``, ``goto``, end of block) will
+   cause the mutex to be unlocked::
+
+      int somefunction(int option)
+      {
+          frr_with_mutex (&my_mutex) {
+              /* mutex will be locked */
+
+              if (!option)
+                  /* mutex will be unlocked before return */
+                  return -1;
+

+
+      out_err:
+          somecleanup();
+          return -1;
+      }
+
+   This is a macro that internally uses a ``for`` loop.  It is explicitly
+   acceptable to use ``break`` to get out of the block.  Even though a single
+   statement works correctly, FRR coding style requires that this macro always
+   be used with a ``{ ... }`` block.
+
+.. c:macro:: frr_mutex_lock_autounlock(mutex)
+
+   (With ``pthread_mutex_t *mutex``.)
+

+      {
+          frr_mutex_lock_autounlock(&my_mutex);

+
+          /* mutex will be unlocked before return */
+          return 0;
+      }
+
+   This is a macro that internally creates a variable with a destructor.
+   When the variable goes out of scope (i.e. the block ends), the mutex is
+   released.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      This macro should only used when :c:func:`frr_with_mutex` would
+      result in excessively/weirdly nested code.  This generally is an
+      indicator that the code might be trying to do too many things with
+      the lock held.  Try any possible venues to reduce the amount of
+      code covered by the lock and move to :c:func:`frr_with_mutex`.

+
+Logging
+=======
+
+One of the most frequent decisions to make while writing code for FRR is what
+to log, what level to log it at, and when to log it.  Here is a list of
+recommendations for these decisions.
+
+
+printfrr()
+----------
+
+``printfrr()`` is FRR's modified version of ``printf()``, designed to make
+life easier when printing nontrivial datastructures.  The following variants
+are available:
+
+.. c:function:: ssize_t snprintfrr(char *buf, size_t len, const char *fmt, ...)
+.. c:function:: ssize_t vsnprintfrr(char *buf, size_t len, const char *fmt, va_list)
+
+   These correspond to ``snprintf``/``vsnprintf``.  If you pass NULL for buf
+   or 0 for len, no output is written but the return value is still calculated.
+
+   The return value is always the full length of the output, unconstrained by
+   `len`.  It does **not** include the terminating ``\0`` character.  A
+   malformed format string can result in a ``-1`` return value.
+
+.. c:function:: ssize_t csnprintfrr(char *buf, size_t len, const char *fmt, ...)
+.. c:function:: ssize_t vcsnprintfrr(char *buf, size_t len, const char *fmt, va_list)
+
+   Same as above, but the ``c`` stands for "continue" or "concatenate".  The
+   output is appended to the string instead of overwriting it.
+
+.. c:function:: char *asprintfrr(struct memtype *mt, const char *fmt, ...)
+.. c:function:: char *vasprintfrr(struct memtype *mt, const char *fmt, va_list)
+
+   These functions allocate a dynamic buffer (using MTYPE `mt`) and print to
+   that.  If the format string is malformed, they return a copy of the format
+   string, so the return value is always non-NULL and always dynamically
+   allocated with `mt`.
+
+.. c:function:: char *asnprintfrr(struct memtype *mt, char *buf, size_t len, const char *fmt, ...)
+.. c:function:: char *vasnprintfrr(struct memtype *mt, char *buf, size_t len, const char *fmt, va_list)
+
+   This variant tries to use the static buffer provided, but falls back to
+   dynamic allocation if it is insufficient.
+
+   The return value can be either `buf` or a newly allocated string using
+   `mt`.  You MUST free it like this::
+
+      char *ret = asnprintfrr(MTYPE_FOO, buf, sizeof(buf), ...);
+      if (ret != buf)
+         XFREE(MTYPE_FOO, ret);
+
+.. c:function:: ssize_t bprintfrr(struct fbuf *fb, const char *fmt, ...)
+.. c:function:: ssize_t vbprintfrr(struct fbuf *fb, const char *fmt, va_list)
+
+   These are the "lowest level" functions, which the other variants listed
+   above use to implement their functionality on top.  Mainly useful for
+   implementing printfrr extensions since those get a ``struct fbuf *`` to
+   write their output to.
+
+.. c:macro:: FMT_NSTD(expr)
+
+   This macro turns off/on format warnings as needed when non-ISO-C
+   compatible printfrr extensions are used (e.g. ``%.*p`` or ``%Ld``.)::
+
+      vty_out(vty, "standard compatible %pI4\n", &addr);
+      FMT_NSTD(vty_out(vty, "non-standard %-47.*pHX\n", (int)len, buf));
+
+   When the frr-format plugin is in use, this macro is a no-op since the
+   frr-format plugin supports all printfrr extensions.  Since the FRR CI
+   includes a system with the plugin enabled, this means format errors will
+   not slip by undetected even with FMT_NSTD.
+
+.. note::
+
+   ``printfrr()`` does not support the ``%n`` format.
+
+AS-Safety
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+``printfrr()`` are AS-Safe under the following conditions:
+
+* the ``[v]as[n]printfrr`` variants are not AS-Safe (allocating memory)
+* floating point specifiers are not AS-Safe (system printf is used for these)
+* the positional ``%1$d`` syntax should not be used (8 arguments are supported
+  while AS-Safe)
+* extensions are only AS-Safe if their printer is AS-Safe
+
+printfrr Extensions
+-------------------
+
+``printfrr()`` format strings can be extended with suffixes after `%p` or `%d`.
+Printf features like field lengths can be used normally with these extensions,
+e.g. ``%-15pI4`` works correctly, **except if the extension consumes the
+width or precision**.  Extensions that do so are listed below as ``%*pXX``
+rather than ``%pXX``.
+
+The extension specifier after ``%p`` or ``%d`` is always an uppercase letter;
+by means of established pattern uppercase letters and numbers form the type
+identifier which may be followed by lowercase flags.
+
+You can grep the FRR source for ``printfrr_ext_autoreg`` to see all extended
+printers and what exactly they do.  More printers are likely to be added as
+needed/useful, so the list here may be outdated.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The ``zlog_*``/``flog_*`` and ``vty_out`` functions all use printfrr
+   internally, so these extensions are available there.  However, they are
+   **not** available when calling ``snprintf`` directly.  You need to call
+   ``snprintfrr`` instead.

+
+.. frrfmt:: %pPSG4 (struct prefix_sg *)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`(*,1.2.3.4)`
+
+   This is *(S,G)* output for use in zebra.  (Note prefix_sg is not a prefix
+   "subclass" like the other prefix_* structs.)

+.. frrfmt:: %pSU (union sockunion *)
+
+   ``%pSU``: :frrfmtout:`1.2.3.4` / :frrfmtout:`fe80::1234`

+
+   ``%pNHcg``: :frrfmtout:`1.2.3.4` — compact gateway only
+
+   ``%pNHci``: :frrfmtout:`eth0` — compact interface only
+
+.. frrfmt:: %dPF (int)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`AF_INET`
+
+   Prints an `AF_*` / `PF_*` constant.  ``PF`` is used here to avoid confusion
+   with `AFI` constants, even though the FRR codebase prefers `AF_INET` over
+   `PF_INET` & co.
+
+.. frrfmt:: %dSO (int)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`SOCK_STREAM`
+
+Time/interval formats
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pTS (struct timespec *)
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pTV (struct timeval *)
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pTT (time_t *)
+
+   Above 3 options internally result in the same code being called, support
+   the same flags and produce equal output with one exception:  ``%pTT``
+   has no sub-second precision and the formatter will never print a
+   (nonsensical) ``.000``.
+
+   Exactly one of ``I``, ``M`` or ``R`` must immediately follow after
+   ``TS``/``TV``/``TT`` to specify whether the input is an interval, monotonic
+   timestamp or realtime timestamp:
+
+   ``%pTVI``: input is an interval, not a timestamp.  Print interval.
+
+   ``%pTVIs``: input is an interval, convert to wallclock by subtracting it
+   from current time (i.e. interval has passed **s**\ ince.)
+
+   ``%pTVIu``: input is an interval, convert to wallclock by adding it to
+   current time (i.e. **u**\ ntil interval has passed.)
+
+   ``%pTVM`` - input is a timestamp on CLOCK_MONOTONIC, convert to wallclock
+   time (by grabbing current CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME and doing the
+   math) and print calendaric date.
+
+   ``%pTVMs`` - input is a timestamp on CLOCK_MONOTONIC, print interval
+   **s**\ ince that timestamp (elapsed.)
+
+   ``%pTVMu`` - input is a timestamp on CLOCK_MONOTONIC, print interval
+   **u**\ ntil that timestamp (deadline.)
+
+   ``%pTVR`` - input is a timestamp on CLOCK_REALTIME, print calendaric date.
+
+   ``%pTVRs`` - input is a timestamp on CLOCK_REALTIME, print interval
+   **s**\ ince that timestamp.
+
+   ``%pTVRu`` - input is a timestamp on CLOCK_REALTIME, print interval
+   **u**\ ntil that timestamp.
+
+   ``%pTVA`` - reserved for CLOCK_TAI in case a PTP implementation is
+   interfaced to FRR.  Not currently implemented.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      If ``%pTVRs`` or ``%pTVRu`` are used, this is generally an indication
+      that a CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp should be used instead (or added in
+      parallel.) CLOCK_REALTIME might be adjusted by NTP, PTP or similar
+      procedures, causing bogus intervals to be printed.
+
+      ``%pTVM`` on first look might be assumed to have the same problem, but
+      on closer thought the assumption is always that current system time is
+      correct.  And since a CLOCK_MONOTONIC interval is also quite safe to
+      assume to be correct, the (past) absolute timestamp to be printed from
+      this can likely be correct even if it doesn't match what CLOCK_REALTIME
+      would have indicated at that point in the past.  This logic does,
+      however, not quite work for *future* times.
+
+      Generally speaking, almost all use cases in FRR should (and do) use
+      CLOCK_MONOTONIC (through :c:func:`monotime()`.)
+
+   Flags common to printing calendar times and intervals:
+
+   ``p``: include spaces in appropriate places (depends on selected format.)
+
+   ``%p.3TV...``: specify sub-second resolution (use with ``FMT_NSTD`` to
+   suppress gcc warning.)  As noted above, ``%pTT`` will never print sub-second
+   digits since there are none.  Only some formats support printing sub-second
+   digits and the default may vary.
+
+   The following flags are available for printing calendar times/dates:
+
+   (no flag): :frrfmtout:`Sat Jan  1 00:00:00 2022` - print output from
+   ``ctime()``, in local time zone.  Since FRR does not currently use/enable
+   locale support, this is always the C locale.  (Locale support getting added
+   is unlikely for the time being and would likely break other things worse
+   than this.)
+
+   ``i``: :frrfmtout:`2022-01-01T00:00:00.123` - ISO8601 timestamp in local
+   time zone (note there is no ``Z`` or ``+00:00`` suffix.)  Defaults to
+   millisecond precision.
+
+   ``ip``: :frrfmtout:`2022-01-01 00:00:00.123` - use readable form of ISO8601
+   with space instead of ``T`` separator.
+
+   The following flags are available for printing intervals:
+
+   (no flag): :frrfmtout:`9w9d09:09:09.123` - does not match any
+   preexisting format;  added because it does not lose precision (like ``t``)
+   for longer intervals without printing huge numbers (like ``h``/``m``).
+   Defaults to millisecond precision.  The week/day fields are left off if
+   they're zero, ``p`` adds a space after the respective letter.
+
+   ``t``: :frrfmtout:`9w9d09h`, :frrfmtout:`9d09h09m`, :frrfmtout:`09:09:09` -
+   this replaces :c:func:`frrtime_to_interval()`.  ``p`` adds spaces after
+   week/day/hour letters.
+
+   ``d``: print decimal number of seconds.  Defaults to millisecond precision.
+
+   ``x`` / ``tx`` / ``dx``: Like no flag / ``t`` / ``d``, but print
+   :frrfmtout:`-` for zero or negative intervals (for use with unset timers.)
+
+   ``h``: :frrfmtout:`09:09:09`
+
+   ``hx``: :frrfmtout:`09:09:09`, :frrfmtout:`--:--:--` - this replaces
+   :c:func:`pim_time_timer_to_hhmmss()`.
+
+   ``m``: :frrfmtout:`09:09`
+
+   ``mx``: :frrfmtout:`09:09`, :frrfmtout:`--:--` - this replaces
+   :c:func:`pim_time_timer_to_mmss()`.
+
+FRR library helper formats
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pTH (struct thread *)
+
+   Print remaining time on timer thread. Interval-printing flag characters
+   listed above for ``%pTV`` can be added, e.g. ``%pTHtx``.
+
+   ``NULL`` pointers are printed as ``-``.
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pTHD (struct thread *)
+
+   Print debugging information for given thread.  Sample output:
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      {(thread *)NULL}
+      {(thread *)0x55a3b5818910 arg=0x55a3b5827c50 timer  r=7.824      mld_t_query() &mld_ifp->t_query from pimd/pim6_mld.c:1369}
+      {(thread *)0x55a3b5827230 arg=0x55a3b5827c50 read   fd=16        mld_t_recv() &mld_ifp->t_recv from pimd/pim6_mld.c:1186}
+
+   (The output is aligned to some degree.)
+
+FRR daemon specific formats
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following formats are only available in specific daemons, as the code
+implementing them is part of the daemon, not the library.
+
+zebra
+"""""
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pZN (struct route_node *)
+
+   Print information for a RIB node, including zebra-specific data.
+
+   :frrfmtout:`::/0 src fe80::/64 (MRIB)` (``%pZN``)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`1234` (``%pZNt`` - table number)
+
+bgpd
+""""
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pBD (struct bgp_dest *)
+
+   Print prefix for a BGP destination.
+
+   :frrfmtout:`fe80::1234/64`
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pBP (struct peer *)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`192.168.1.1(leaf1.frrouting.org)`
+
+   Print BGP peer's IP and hostname together.
+
+pimd/pim6d
+""""""""""
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pPA (pim_addr *)
+
+   Format IP address according to IP version (pimd vs. pim6d) being compiled.
+
+   :frrfmtout:`fe80::1234` / :frrfmtout:`10.0.0.1`
+
+   :frrfmtout:`*` (``%pPAs`` - replace 0.0.0.0/:: with star)
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pSG (pim_sgaddr *)
+
+   Format S,G pair according to IP version (pimd vs. pim6d) being compiled.
+   Braces are included.
+
+   :frrfmtout:`(*,224.0.0.0)`
+
+
+General utility formats
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. frrfmt:: %m (no argument)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`Permission denied`
+
+   Prints ``strerror(errno)``.  Does **not** consume any input argument, don't
+   pass ``errno``!
+
+   (This is a GNU extension not specific to FRR.  FRR guarantees it is
+   available on all systems in printfrr, though BSDs support it in printf too.)
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pSQ (char *)
+
+   ([S]tring [Q]uote.)  Like ``%s``, but produce a quoted string.  Options:
+
+      ``n`` - treat ``NULL`` as empty string instead.
+
+      ``q`` - include ``""`` quotation marks.  Note: ``NULL`` is printed as
+      ``(null)``, not ``"(null)"`` unless ``n`` is used too.  This is
+      intentional.
+
+      ``s`` - use escaping suitable for RFC5424 syslog.  This means ``]`` is
+      escaped too.
+
+   If a length is specified (``%*pSQ`` or ``%.*pSQ``), null bytes in the input
+   string do not end the string and are just printed as ``\x00``.
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pSE (char *)
+
+   ([S]tring [E]scape.)  Like ``%s``, but escape special characters.
+   Options:
+
+      ``n`` - treat ``NULL`` as empty string instead.
+
+   Unlike :frrfmt:`%pSQ`, this escapes many more characters that are fine for
+   a quoted string but not on their own.
+
+   If a length is specified (``%*pSE`` or ``%.*pSE``), null bytes in the input
+   string do not end the string and are just printed as ``\x00``.
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pVA (struct va_format *)
+
+   Recursively invoke printfrr, with arguments passed in through:
+
+   .. c:struct:: va_format
+
+      .. c:member:: const char *fmt
+
+         Format string to use for the recursive printfrr call.
+
+      .. c:member:: va_list *va
+
+         Formatting arguments.  Note this is passed as a pointer, not - as in
+         most other places - a direct struct reference.  Internally uses
+         ``va_copy()`` so repeated calls can be made (e.g. for determining
+         output length.)
+
+.. frrfmt:: %pFB (struct fbuf *)
+
+   Insert text from a ``struct fbuf *``, i.e. the output of a call to
+   :c:func:`bprintfrr()`.
+
+.. frrfmt:: %*pHX (void *, char *, unsigned char *)
+
+   ``%pHX``: :frrfmtout:`12 34 56 78`
+
+   ``%pHXc``: :frrfmtout:`12:34:56:78` (separate with [c]olon)
+
+   ``%pHXn``: :frrfmtout:`12345678` (separate with [n]othing)
+
+   Insert hexdump.  This specifier requires a precision or width to be
+   specified.  A precision (``%.*pHX``) takes precedence, but generates a
+   compiler warning since precisions are undefined for ``%p`` in ISO C.  If
+   no precision is given, the width is used instead (and normal handling of
+   the width is suppressed).
+
+   Note that width and precision are ``int`` arguments, not ``size_t``.  Use
+   like::
+
+     char *buf;
+     size_t len;
+
+     snprintfrr(out, sizeof(out), "... %*pHX ...", (int)len, buf);
+
+     /* with padding to width - would generate a warning due to %.*p */
+     FMT_NSTD(snprintfrr(out, sizeof(out), "... %-47.*pHX ...", (int)len, buf));
+
+.. frrfmt:: %*pHS (void *, char *, unsigned char *)
+
+   ``%pHS``: :frrfmtout:`hex.dump`
+
+   This is a complementary format for :frrfmt:`%*pHX` to print the text
+   representation for a hexdump.  Non-printable characters are replaced with
+   a dot.
+
+Integer formats
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. note::
+
+   These formats currently only exist for advanced type checking with the
+   ``frr-format`` GCC plugin.  They should not be used directly since they will
+   cause compiler warnings when used without the plugin.  Use with
+   :c:macro:`FMT_NSTD` if necessary.
+
+   It is possible ISO C23 may introduce another format for these, possibly
+   ``%w64d`` discussed in `JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14/N2680 <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2680.pdf>`_.
+
+.. frrfmt:: %Lu (uint64_t)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`12345`
+
+.. frrfmt:: %Ld (int64_t)
+
+   :frrfmtout:`-12345`
+
+Log levels
+----------
+
+Errors and warnings
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If it is something that the user will want to look at and maybe do
+something, it is either an **error** or a **warning**.
+
+We're expecting that warnings and errors are in some way visible to the
+user (in the worst case by looking at the log after the network broke, but
+maybe by a syslog collector from all routers.)  Therefore, anything that
+needs to get the user in the loop—and only these things—are warnings or
+errors.
+
+Note that this doesn't necessarily mean the user needs to fix something in
+the FRR instance.  It also includes when we detect something else needs
+fixing, for example another router, the system we're running on, or the
+configuration.  The common point is that the user should probably do
+*something*.
+
+Deciding between a warning and an error is slightly less obvious; the rule
+of thumb here is that an error will cause considerable fallout beyond its
+direct effect.  Closing a BGP session due to a malformed update is an error
+since all routes from the peer are dropped; discarding one route because
+its attributes don't make sense is a warning.
+
+This also loosely corresponds to the kind of reaction we're expecting from
+the user.  An error is likely to need immediate response while a warning
+might be snoozed for a bit and addressed as part of general maintenance.
+If a problem will self-repair (e.g. by retransmits), it should be a
+warning—unless the impact until that self-repair is very harsh.
+
+Examples for warnings:
+
+* a BGP update, LSA or LSP could not be processed, but operation is
+  proceeding and the broken pieces are likely to self-fix later
+* some kind of controller cannot be reached, but we can work without it
+* another router is using some unknown or unsupported capability
+
+Examples for errors:
+
+* dropping a BGP session due to malformed data
+* a socket for routing protocol operation cannot be opened
+* desynchronization from network state because something went wrong
+* *everything that we as developers would really like to be notified about,
+  i.e. some assumption in the code isn't holding up*
+
+
+Informational messages
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Anything that provides introspection to the user during normal operation
+is an **info** message.
+
+This includes all kinds of operational state transitions and events,
+especially if they might be interesting to the user during the course of
+figuring out a warning or an error.
+
+By itself, these messages should mostly be statements of fact.  They might
+indicate the order and relationship in which things happened.  Also covered
+are conditions that might be "operational issues" like a link failure due
+to an unplugged cable.  If it's pretty much the point of running a routing
+daemon for, it's not a warning or an error, just business as usual.
+
+The user should be able to see the state of these bits from operational
+state output, i.e. `show interface` or `show foobar neighbors`.  The log
+message indicating the change may have been printed weeks ago, but the
+state can always be viewed.  (If some state change has an info message but
+no "show" command, maybe that command needs to be added.)
+
+Examples:
+
+* all kinds of up/down state changes
+
+  * interface coming up or going down
+  * addresses being added or deleted
+  * peers and neighbors coming up or going down
+
+* rejection of some routes due to user-configured route maps
+* backwards compatibility handling because another system on the network
+  has a different or smaller feature set
+
+.. note::
+   The previously used **notify** priority is replaced with *info* in all
+   cases.  We don't currently have a well-defined use case for it.
+
+
+Debug messages and asserts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Everything that is only interesting on-demand, or only while developing,
+is a **debug** message.  It might be interesting to the user for a
+particularly evasive issue, but in general these are details that an
+average user might not even be able to make sense of.
+
+Most (or all?) debug messages should be behind a `debug foobar` category
+switch that controls which subset of these messages is currently
+interesting and thus printed.  If a debug message doesn't have such a
+guard, there should be a good explanation as to why.
+
+Conversely, debug messages are the only thing that should be guarded by
+these switches.  Neither info nor warning or error messages should be
+hidden in this way.
+
+**Asserts** should only be used as pretty crashes.  We are expecting that
+asserts remain enabled in production builds, but please try to not use
+asserts in a way that would cause a security problem if the assert wasn't
+there (i.e. don't use them for length checks.)
+
+The purpose of asserts is mainly to help development and bug hunting.  If
+the daemon crashes, then having some more information is nice, and the
+assert can provide crucial hints that cut down on the time needed to track
+an issue.  That said, if the issue can be reasonably handled and/or isn't
+going to crash the daemon, it shouldn't be an assert.
+
+For anything else where internal constraints are violated but we're not
+breaking due to it, it's an error instead (not a debug.)  These require
+"user action" of notifying the developers.
+
+Examples:
+
+* mismatched :code:`prev`/:code:`next` pointers in lists
+* some field that is absolutely needed is :code:`NULL`
+* any other kind of data structure corruption that will cause the daemon
+  to crash sooner or later, one way or another
+
+Thread-local buffering
+----------------------
+
+The core logging code in :file:`lib/zlog.c` allows setting up per-thread log
+message buffers in order to improve logging performance.  The following rules
+apply for this buffering:
+
+* Only messages of priority *DEBUG* or *INFO* are buffered.
+* Any higher-priority message causes the thread's entire buffer to be flushed,
+  thus message ordering is preserved on a per-thread level.
+* There is no guarantee on ordering between different threads;  in most cases
+  this is arbitrary to begin with since the threads essentially race each
+  other in printing log messages.  If an order is established with some
+  synchronization primitive, add calls to :c:func:`zlog_tls_buffer_flush()`.
+* The buffers are only ever accessed by the thread they are created by.  This
+  means no locking is necessary.
+
+Both the main/default thread and additional threads created by
+:c:func:`frr_pthread_new()` with the default :c:func:`frr_run()` handler will
+initialize thread-local buffering and call :c:func:`zlog_tls_buffer_flush()`
+when idle.
+
+If some piece of code runs for an extended period, it may be useful to insert
+calls to :c:func:`zlog_tls_buffer_flush()` in appropriate places:
+
+.. c:function:: void zlog_tls_buffer_flush(void)
+
+   Write out any pending log messages that the calling thread may have in its
+   buffer.  This function is safe to call regardless of the per-thread log
+   buffer being set up / in use or not.
+
+When working with threads that do not use the :c:struct:`thread_master`
+event loop, per-thread buffers can be managed with:
+
+.. c:function:: void zlog_tls_buffer_init(void)
+
+   Set up thread-local buffering for log messages.  This function may be
+   called repeatedly without adverse effects, but remember to call
+   :c:func:`zlog_tls_buffer_fini()` at thread exit.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      If this function is called, but :c:func:`zlog_tls_buffer_flush()` is
+      not used, log message output will lag behind since messages will only be
+      written out when the buffer is full.
+
+      Exiting the thread without calling :c:func:`zlog_tls_buffer_fini()`
+      will cause buffered log messages to be lost.
+
+.. c:function:: void zlog_tls_buffer_fini(void)
+
+   Flush pending messages and tear down thread-local log message buffering.
+   This function may be called repeatedly regardless of whether
+   :c:func:`zlog_tls_buffer_init()` was ever called.
+
+Log targets
+-----------
+
+The actual logging subsystem (in :file:`lib/zlog.c`) is heavily separated
+from the actual log writers.  It uses an atomic linked-list (`zlog_targets`)
+with RCU to maintain the log targets to be called.  This list is intended to
+function as "backend" only, it **is not used for configuration**.
+
+Logging targets provide their configuration layer on top of this and maintain
+their own capability to enumerate and store their configuration.  Some targets
+(e.g. syslog) are inherently single instance and just stuff their config in
+global variables.  Others (e.g. file/fd output) are multi-instance capable.
+There is another layer boundary here between these and the VTY configuration
+that they use.
+
+Basic internals
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. c:struct:: zlog_target
+
+   This struct needs to be filled in by any log target and then passed to
+   :c:func:`zlog_target_replace()`.  After it has been registered,
+   **RCU semantics apply**.  Most changes to associated data should make a
+   copy, change that, and then replace the entire struct.
+
+   Additional per-target data should be "appended" by embedding this struct
+   into a larger one, for use with `containerof()`, and
+   :c:func:`zlog_target_clone()` and :c:func:`zlog_target_free()` should be
+   used to allocate/free the entire container struct.
+
+   Do not use this structure to maintain configuration.  It should only
+   contain (a copy of) the data needed to perform the actual logging.  For
+   example, the syslog target uses this:
+
+   .. code-block:: c
+
+      struct zlt_syslog {
+          struct zlog_target zt;
+          int syslog_facility;
+      };
+
+      static void zlog_syslog(struct zlog_target *zt, struct zlog_msg *msgs[], size_t nmsgs)
+      {
+          struct zlt_syslog *zte = container_of(zt, struct zlt_syslog, zt);
+          size_t i;
+
+          for (i = 0; i < nmsgs; i++)
+              if (zlog_msg_prio(msgs[i]) <= zt->prio_min)
+                  syslog(zlog_msg_prio(msgs[i]) | zte->syslog_facility, "%s",
+                         zlog_msg_text(msgs[i], NULL));
+      }
+
+
+.. c:function:: struct zlog_target *zlog_target_clone(struct memtype *mt, struct zlog_target *oldzt, size_t size)
+
+   Allocates a logging target struct.  Note that the ``oldzt`` argument may be
+   ``NULL`` to allocate a "from scratch".  If ``oldzt`` is not ``NULL``, the
+   generic bits in :c:struct:`zlog_target` are copied.  **Target specific
+   bits are not copied.**
+
+.. c:function:: struct zlog_target *zlog_target_replace(struct zlog_target *oldzt, struct zlog_target *newzt)
+
+   Adds, replaces or deletes a logging target (either ``oldzt`` or ``newzt`` may be ``NULL``.)
+
+   Returns ``oldzt`` for freeing.  The target remains possibly in use by
+   other threads until the RCU cycle ends.  This implies you cannot release
+   resources (e.g. memory, file descriptors) immediately.
+
+   The replace operation is not atomic; for a brief period it is possible that
+   messages are delivered on both ``oldzt`` and ``newzt``.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      ``oldzt`` must remain **functional** until the RCU cycle ends.
+
+.. c:function:: void zlog_target_free(struct memtype *mt, struct zlog_target *zt)
+
+   Counterpart to :c:func:`zlog_target_clone()`, frees a target (using RCU.)
+
+.. c:member:: void (*zlog_target.logfn)(struct zlog_target *zt, struct zlog_msg *msgs[], size_t nmsg)
+
+   Called on a target to deliver "normal" logging messages.  ``msgs`` is an
+   array of opaque structs containing the actual message.  Use ``zlog_msg_*``
+   functions to access message data (this is done to allow some optimizations,
+   e.g.  lazy formatting the message text and timestamp as needed.)
+
+   .. note::
+
+      ``logfn()`` must check each individual message's priority value against
+      the configured ``prio_min``.  While the ``prio_min`` field is common to
+      all targets and used by the core logging code to early-drop unneeded log
+      messages, the array is **not** filtered for each ``logfn()`` call.
+
+.. c:member:: void (*zlog_target.logfn_sigsafe)(struct zlog_target *zt, const char *text, size_t len)
+
+   Called to deliver "exception" logging messages (i.e. SEGV messages.)
+   Must be Async-Signal-Safe (may not allocate memory or call "complicated"
+   libc functions.)  May be ``NULL`` if the log target cannot handle this.
+
+Standard targets
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+:file:`lib/zlog_targets.c` provides the standard file / fd / syslog targets.
+The syslog target is single-instance while file / fd targets can be
+instantiated as needed.  There are 3 built-in targets that are fully
+autonomous without any config:
+
+- startup logging to `stderr`, until either :c:func:`zlog_startup_end()` or
+  :c:func:`zlog_aux_init()` is called.
+- stdout logging for non-daemon programs using :c:func:`zlog_aux_init()`
+- crashlogs written to :file:`/var/tmp/frr.daemon.crashlog`
+
+The regular CLI/command-line logging setup is handled by :file:`lib/log_vty.c`
+which makes the appropriate instantiations of syslog / file / fd targets.
+
+.. todo::
+
+  :c:func:`zlog_startup_end()` should do an explicit switchover from
+  startup stderr logging to configured logging.  Currently, configured logging
+  starts in parallel as soon as the respective setup is executed.  This results
+  in some duplicate logging.

+Memtypes
+========
+
+FRR includes wrappers around ``malloc()`` and ``free()`` that count the number
+of objects currently allocated, for each of a defined ``MTYPE``.
+
+To this extent, there are *memory groups* and *memory types*.  Each memory
+type must belong to a memory group, this is used just to provide some basic
+structure.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+   :caption: mydaemon.h
+
+   DECLARE_MGROUP(MYDAEMON);
+   DECLARE_MTYPE(MYNEIGHBOR);
+
+.. code-block:: c
+   :caption: mydaemon.c
+
+   DEFINE_MGROUP(      MYDAEMON, "My daemon's memory");
+   DEFINE_MTYPE(       MYDAEMON, MYNEIGHBOR,     "Neighbor entry");
+   DEFINE_MTYPE_STATIC(MYDAEMON, MYNEIGHBORNAME, "Neighbor name");
+
+   struct neigh *neighbor_new(const char *name)
+   {
+           struct neigh *n = XMALLOC(MYNEIGHBOR, sizeof(*n));
+           n->name = XSTRDUP(MYNEIGHBORNAME, name);
+           return n;
+   }
+
+   void neighbor_free(struct neigh *n)
+   {
+           XFREE(MYNEIGHBORNAME, n->name);
+           XFREE(MYNEIGHBOR, n);
+   }
+
+
+Definition
+----------
+
+.. c:struct:: memtype
+
+   This is the (internal) type used for MTYPE definitions.  The macros below
+   should be used to create these, but in some cases it is useful to pass a
+   ``struct memtype *`` pointer to some helper function.
+
+   The ``MTYPE_name`` created by the macros is declared as a pointer, i.e.
+   a function taking a ``struct memtype *`` argument can be called with an
+   ``MTYPE_name`` argument (as opposed to ``&MTYPE_name``.)
+
+   .. note::
+
+      As ``MTYPE_name`` is a variable assigned from ``&_mt_name`` and not a
+      constant expression, it cannot be used as initializer for static
+      variables. In the case please fall back to ``&_mt_name``.
+
+.. c:macro:: DECLARE_MGROUP(name)
+
+   This macro forward-declares a memory group and should be placed in a
+   ``.h`` file.  It expands to an ``extern struct memgroup`` statement.
+
+.. c:macro:: DEFINE_MGROUP(mname, description)
+
+   Defines/implements a memory group.  Must be placed into exactly one ``.c``
+   file (multiple inclusion will result in a link-time symbol conflict).
+
+   Contains additional logic (constructor and destructor) to register the
+   memory group in a global list.
+
+.. c:macro:: DECLARE_MTYPE(name)
+
+   Forward-declares a memory type and makes ``MTYPE_name`` available for use.
+   Note that the ``MTYPE_`` prefix must not be included in the name, it is
+   automatically prefixed.
+
+   ``MTYPE_name`` is created as a `static const` symbol, i.e. a compile-time
+   constant.  It refers to an ``extern struct memtype _mt_name``, where `name`
+   is replaced with the actual name.
+
+.. c:macro:: DEFINE_MTYPE(group, name, description)
+
+   Define/implement a memory type, must be placed into exactly one ``.c``
+   file (multiple inclusion will result in a link-time symbol conflict).
+
+   Like ``DEFINE_MGROUP``, this contains actual code to register the MTYPE
+   under its group.
+
+.. c:macro:: DEFINE_MTYPE_STATIC(group, name, description)
+
+   Same as ``DEFINE_MTYPE``, but the ``DEFINE_MTYPE_STATIC`` variant places
+   the C ``static`` keyword on the definition, restricting the MTYPE's
+   availability to the current source file.  This should be appropriate in
+   >80% of cases.
+
+   .. todo::
+
+      Daemons currently have ``daemon_memory.[ch]`` files listing all of
+      their MTYPEs.  This is not how it should be, most of these types
+      should be moved into the appropriate files where they are used.
+      Only a few MTYPEs should remain non-static after that.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+.. c:function:: void *XMALLOC(struct memtype *mtype, size_t size)
+
+.. c:function:: void *XCALLOC(struct memtype *mtype, size_t size)
+
+.. c:function:: void *XSTRDUP(struct memtype *mtype, const char *name)
+
+   Allocation wrappers for malloc/calloc/realloc/strdup, taking an extra
+   mtype parameter.
+
+.. c:function:: void *XREALLOC(struct memtype *mtype, void *ptr, size_t size)
+
+   Wrapper around realloc() with MTYPE tracking.  Note that ``ptr`` may
+   be NULL, in which case the function does the same as XMALLOC (regardless
+   of whether the system realloc() supports this.)
+
+.. c:function:: void XFREE(struct memtype *mtype, void *ptr)
+
+   Wrapper around free(), again taking an extra mtype parameter.  This is
+   actually a macro, with the following additional properties:
+
+   - the macro contains ``ptr = NULL``
+   - if ptr is NULL, no operation is performed (as is guaranteed by system
+     implementations.)  Do not surround XFREE with ``if (ptr != NULL)``
+     checks.
+
+.. c:function:: void XCOUNTFREE(struct memtype *mtype, void *ptr)
+
+   This macro is used to count the ``ptr`` as freed without actually freeing
+   it. This may be needed in some very specific cases, for example, when the
+   ``ptr`` was allocated using any of the above wrappers and will be freed
+   by some external library using simple ``free()``.

+Modules
+=======
+
+FRR has facilities to load DSOs at startup via ``dlopen()``. These are used to
+implement modules, such as SNMP and FPM.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+-  can't load, unload, or reload during runtime. This just needs some
+   work and can probably be done in the future.
+-  doesn't fix any of the "things need to be changed in the code in the
+   library" issues. Most prominently, you can't add a CLI node because
+   CLI nodes are listed in the library...
+-  if your module crashes, the daemon crashes. Should be obvious.
+-  **does not provide a stable API or ABI**. Your module must match a
+   version of FRR and you may have to update it frequently to match
+   changes.
+-  **does not create a license boundary**. Your module will need to link
+   libzebra and include header files from the daemons, meaning it will
+   be GPL-encumbered.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+Look for ``moduledir`` in ``configure.ac``, default is normally
+``/usr/lib64/frr/modules`` but depends on ``--libdir`` / ``--prefix``.
+
+The daemon's name is prepended when looking for a module, e.g. "snmp"
+tries to find "zebra\_snmp" first when used in zebra. This is just to
+make it nicer for the user, with the snmp module having the same name
+everywhere.
+
+Modules can be packaged separately from FRR. The SNMP and FPM modules
+are good candidates for this because they have dependencies (net-snmp /
+protobuf) that are not FRR dependencies. However, any distro packages
+should have an "exact-match" dependency onto the FRR package. Using a
+module from a different FRR version will probably blow up nicely.
+
+For snapcraft (and during development), modules can be loaded with full
+path (e.g. -M ``$SNAP/lib/frr/modules/zebra_snmp.so``). Note that
+libtool puts output files in the .libs directory, so during development
+you have to use ``./zebra -M .libs/zebra_snmp.so``.
+
+Creating a module
+-----------------
+
+... best to look at the existing SNMP or FPM modules.
+
+Basic boilerplate:
+
+::
+
+    #include "hook.h"
+    #include "module.h"
+    #include "libfrr.h"
+    #include "thread.h"
+
+    static int module_late_init(struct thread_master *master)
+    {
+        /* Do initialization stuff here */
+        return 0;
+    }
+
+    static int
+    module_init (void)
+    {
+      hook_register(frr_late_init, module_late_init);
+      return 0;
+    }
+
+    FRR_MODULE_SETUP(
+        .name = "my module",
+        .version = "0.0",
+        .description = "my module",
+        .init = module_init,
+    );
+
+The ``frr_late_init`` hook will be called after the daemon has finished
+its other startup and is about to enter the main event loop; this is the
+best place for most initialisation.
+
+Compiler & Linker magic
+-----------------------
+
+There's a ``THIS_MODULE`` (like in the Linux kernel), which uses
+``visibility`` attributes to restrict it to the current module. If you
+get a linker error with ``_frrmod_this_module``, there is some linker
+SNAFU. This shouldn't be possible, though one way to get it would be to
+not include libzebra (which provides a fallback definition for the
+symbol).
+
+libzebra and the daemons each have their own ``THIS_MODULE``, as do all
+loadable modules. In any other libraries (e.g. ``libfrrsnmp``),
+``THIS_MODULE`` will use the definition in libzebra; same applies if the
+main executable doesn't use ``FRR_DAEMON_INFO`` (e.g. all testcases).
+
+The deciding factor here is "what dynamic linker unit are you using the
+symbol from." If you're in a library function and want to know who
+called you, you can't use ``THIS_MODULE`` (because that'll just tell you
+you're in the library). Put a macro around your function that adds
+``THIS_MODULE`` in the *caller's code calling your function*.
+
+The idea is to use this in the future for module unloading. Hooks
+already remember which module they were installed by, as groundwork for
+a function that removes all of a module's installed hooks.
+
+There's also the ``frr_module`` symbol in modules, pretty much a
+standard entry point for loadable modules.
+
+Command line parameters
+-----------------------
+
+Command line parameters can be passed directly to a module by appending a
+colon to the module name when loading it, e.g. ``-M mymodule:myparameter``.
+The text after the colon will be accessible in the module's code through
+``THIS_MODULE->load_args``. For example, see how the format parameter is
+configured in the ``zfpm_init()`` function inside ``zebra_fpm.c``.
+
+Hooks
+-----
+
+Hooks are just points in the code where you can register your callback
+to be called. The parameter list is specific to the hook point. Since
+there is no stable API, the hook code has some extra type safety checks
+making sure you get a compiler warning when the hook parameter list
+doesn't match your callback. Don't ignore these warnings.
+
+Relation to MTYPE macros
+------------------------
+
+The MTYPE macros, while primarily designed to decouple MTYPEs from the
+library and beautify the code, also work very nicely with loadable
+modules -- both constructors and destructors are executed when
+loading/unloading modules.
+
+This means there is absolutely no change required to MTYPEs, you can
+just use them in a module and they will even clean up themselves when we
+implement module unloading and an unload happens. In fact, it's
+impossible to create a bug where unloading fails to de-register a MTYPE.

+Next Hop Tracking
+==================
+
+Next hop tracking is an optimization feature that reduces the processing time
+involved in the BGP bestpath algorithm by monitoring changes to the routing
+table.
+
+Background
+-----------
+
+Recursive routes are of the form:
+
+::
+
+    p/m --> n
+    [Ex: 1.1.0.0/16 --> 2.2.2.2]
+
+where 'n' itself is resolved through another route as follows:
+
+::
+
+    p2/m --> h, interface
+    [Ex: 2.2.2.0/24 --> 3.3.3.3, eth0]
+
+Usually, BGP routes are recursive in nature and BGP nexthops get resolved
+through an IGP route. IGP usually adds its routes pointing to an interface
+(these are called non-recursive routes).
+
+When BGP receives a recursive route from a peer, it needs to validate the
+nexthop. The path is marked valid or invalid based on the reachability status
+of the nexthop. Nexthop validation is also important for BGP decision process
+as the metric to reach the nexthop is a parameter to best path selection
+process.
+
+As it goes with routing, this is a dynamic process. Route to the nexthop can
+change. The nexthop can become unreachable or reachable. In the current BGP
+implementation, the nexthop validation is done periodically in the scanner run.
+The default scanner run interval is one minute. Every minute, the scanner task
+walks the entire BGP table. It checks the validity of each nexthop with Zebra
+(the routing table manager) through a request and response message exchange
+between BGP and Zebra process. BGP process is blocked for that duration. The
+mechanism has two major drawbacks:
+
+- The scanner task runs to completion. That can potentially starve the other
+  tasks for long periods of time, based on the BGP table size and number of
+  nexthops.
+
+- Convergence around routing changes that affect the nexthops can be long
+  (around a minute with the default intervals). The interval can be shortened
+  to achieve faster reaction time, but it makes the first problem worse, with
+  the scanner task consuming most of the CPU resources.
+
+The next-hop tracking feature makes this process event-driven. It eliminates
+periodic nexthop validation and introduces an asynchronous communication path
+between BGP and Zebra for route change notifications that can then be acted
+upon.
+
+Goal
+----
+
+Stating the obvious, the main goal is to remove the two limitations we
+discussed in the previous section. The goals, in a constructive tone,
+are the following:
+
+- **Fairness**: the scanner run should not consume an unjustly high amount of
+  CPU time. This should give an overall good performance and response time to
+  other events (route changes, session events, IO/user interface).
+
+- **Convergence**: BGP must react to nexthop changes instantly and provide
+  sub-second convergence. This may involve diverting the routes from one
+  nexthop to another.
+
+Overview of changes
+------------------------
+
+The changes are in both BGP and Zebra modules.  The short summary is
+the following:
+
+- Zebra implements a registration mechanism by which clients can
+  register for next hop notification. Consequently, it maintains a
+  separate table, per (VRF, AF) pair, of next hops and interested
+  client-list per next hop.
+
+- When the main routing table changes in Zebra, it evaluates the next
+  hop table: for each next hop, it checks if the route table
+  modifications have changed its state. If so, it notifies the
+  interested clients.
+
+- BGP is one such client. It registers the next hops corresponding to
+  all of its received routes/paths. It also threads the paths against
+  each nexthop structure.
+
+- When BGP receives a next hop notification from Zebra, it walks the
+  corresponding path list. It makes them valid or invalid depending
+  on the next hop notification. It then re-computes best path for the
+  corresponding destination. This may result in re-announcing those
+  destinations to peers.
+
+Design
+------
+
+Modules
+^^^^^^^
+
+The core design introduces an "nht" (next hop tracking) module in BGP
+and "rnh" (recursive nexthop) module in Zebra. The "nht" module
+provides the following APIs:
+
++----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
+| Function                   | Action                                           |
++============================+==================================================+
+| bgp_find_or_add_nexthop()  | find or add a nexthop in BGP nexthop table       |
++----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
+| bgp_parse_nexthop_update() | parse a nexthop update message coming from zebra |
++----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
+
+The "rnh" module provides the following APIs:
+
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Function                   | Action                                                                                                   |
++============================+==========================================================================================================+
+| zebra_add_rnh()            | add a recursive nexthop                                                                                  |
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| zebra_delete_rnh()         | delete a recursive nexthop                                                                               |
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| zebra_lookup_rnh()         | lookup a recursive nexthop                                                                               |
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| zebra_add_rnh_client()     | register a client for nexthop notifications against a recursive nexthop                                  |
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| zebra_remove_rnh_client()  | remove the client registration for a recursive nexthop                                                   |
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| zebra_evaluate_rnh_table() | (re)evaluate the recursive nexthop table (most probably because the main routing table has changed).     |
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| zebra_cleanup_rnh_client() | Cleanup a client from the "rnh" module data structures (most probably because the client is going away). |
++----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+

+OSPF API Documentation
+======================
+
+Disclaimer
+----------
+
+The OSPF daemon contains an API for application access to the LSA database.
+This API and documentation was created by Ralph Keller, originally as patch for
+Zebra. Unfortunately, the page containing documentation for the API is no
+longer online. This page is an attempt to recreate documentation for the API
+(with lots of help from the WayBackMachine).
+
+Ralph has kindly licensed this documentation under GPLv2+. Please preserve the
+acknowledgements at the bottom of this document.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This page describes an API that allows external applications to access the
+link-state database (LSDB) of the OSPF daemon. The implementation is based on
+the OSPF code from FRRouting (forked from Quagga and formerly Zebra) routing
+protocol suite and is subject to the GNU General Public License. The OSPF API
+provides you with the following functionality:
+
+- Retrieval of the full or partial link-state database of the OSPF daemon.
+  This allows applications to obtain an exact copy of the LSDB including router
+  LSAs, network LSAs and so on. Whenever a new LSA arrives at the OSPF daemon,
+  the API module immediately informs the application by sending a message. This
+  way, the application is always synchronized with the LSDB of the OSPF daemon.
+- Origination of own opaque LSAs (of type 9, 10, or 11) which are then
+  distributed transparently to other routers within the flooding scope and
+  received by other applications through the OSPF API.
+
+Opaque LSAs, which are described in :rfc:`2370`, allow you to distribute
+application-specific information within a network using the OSPF protocol. The
+information contained in opaque LSAs is transparent for the routing process but
+it can be processed by other modules such as traffic engineering (e.g.,
+MPLS-TE).
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+The following picture depicts the architecture of the Quagga/Zebra protocol
+suite. The OSPF daemon is extended with opaque LSA capabilities and an API for
+external applications. The OSPF core module executes the OSPF protocol by
+discovering neighbors and exchanging neighbor state.  The opaque module,
+implemented by Masahiko Endo, provides functions to exchange opaque LSAs
+between routers. Opaque LSAs can be generated by several modules such as the
+MPLS-TE module or the API server module.  These modules then invoke the opaque
+module to flood their data to neighbors within the flooding scope.
+
+The client, which is an application potentially running on a different node
+than the OSPF daemon, links against the OSPF API client library.  This client
+library establishes a socket connection with the API server module of the OSPF
+daemon and uses this connection to retrieve LSAs and originate opaque LSAs.
+
+.. figure:: ../figures/ospf_api_architecture.png
+   :alt: image
+
+   image
+
+The OSPF API server module works like any other internal opaque module (such as
+the MPLS-TE module), but listens to connections from external applications that
+want to communicate with the OSPF daemon. The API server module can handle
+multiple clients concurrently.
+
+One of the main objectives of the implementation is to make as little changes
+to the existing Zebra code as possible.
+
+Installation & Configuration
+----------------------------
+
+Download FRRouting and unpack it.
+
+Configure and build FRR (note that ``--enable-opaque-lsa`` also enables the
+ospfapi server and ospfclient).
+
+::
+
+    % sh ./configure --enable-opaque-lsa
+    % make
+
+This should also compile the client library and sample application in
+ospfclient.
+
+Make sure that you have enabled opaque LSAs in your configuration. Add the
+``ospf opaque-lsa`` statement to your :file:`ospfd.conf`:
+
+::
+
+    ! -*- ospf -*-
+    !
+    ! OSPFd sample configuration file
+    !
+    !
+    hostname xxxxx
+    password xxxxx
+
+    router ospf
+      router-id 10.0.0.1
+      network 10.0.0.1/24 area 1
+      neighbor 10.0.0.2
+      network 10.0.1.2/24 area 1
+      neighbor 10.0.1.1
+      ospf opaque-lsa      <============ add this statement!
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+In the following we describe how you can use the sample application to
+originate opaque LSAs. The sample application first registers with the OSPF
+daemon the opaque type it wants to inject and then waits until the OSPF daemon
+is ready to accept opaque LSAs of that type. Then the client application
+originates an opaque LSA, waits 10 seconds and then updates the opaque LSA with
+new opaque data. After another 20 seconds, the client application deletes the
+opaque LSA from the LSDB. If the clients terminates unexpectedly, the OSPF API
+module will remove all the opaque LSAs that the application registered. Since
+the opaque LSAs are flooded to other routers, we will see the opaque LSAs in
+all routers according to the flooding scope of the opaque LSA.
+
+We have a very simple demo setup, just two routers connected with an ATM
+point-to-point link. Start the modified OSPF daemons on two adjacent routers.
+First run on msr2:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # ./ospfd --apiserver -f /usr/local/etc/ospfd.conf
+
+And on the neighboring router msr3:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # ./ospfd --apiserver -f /usr/local/etc/ospfd.conf
+
+Now the two routers form adjacency and start exchanging their databases.
+Looking at the OSPF daemon of msr2 (or msr3), you see this:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ospfd> show ip ospf database
+
+          OSPF Router with ID (10.0.0.1)
+
+                   Router Link States (Area 0.0.0.1)
+
+   Link ID         ADV Router      Age  Seq#       CkSum  Link count
+   10.0.0.1        10.0.0.1          55 0x80000003 0xc62f 2
+   10.0.0.2        10.0.0.2          55 0x80000003 0xe3e4 3
+
+                   Net Link States (Area 0.0.0.1)
+
+   Link ID         ADV Router      Age  Seq#       CkSum
+   10.0.0.2        10.0.0.2          60 0x80000001 0x5fcb
+
+Now we start the sample main application that originates an opaque LSA.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # cd ospfapi/apiclient
+   # ./main msr2 10 250 20 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1
+
+This originates an opaque LSA of type 10 (area local), with opaque type 250
+(experimental), opaque id of 20 (chosen arbitrarily), interface address 0.0.0.0
+(which is used only for opaque LSAs type 9), and area 0.0.0.1
+
+Again looking at the OSPF database you see:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ospfd> show ip ospf database
+
+          OSPF Router with ID (10.0.0.1)
+
+                   Router Link States (Area 0.0.0.1)
+
+   Link ID         ADV Router      Age  Seq#       CkSum  Link count
+   10.0.0.1        10.0.0.1         437 0x80000003 0xc62f 2
+   10.0.0.2        10.0.0.2         437 0x80000003 0xe3e4 3
+
+                   Net Link States (Area 0.0.0.1)
+
+   Link ID         ADV Router      Age  Seq#       CkSum
+   10.0.0.2        10.0.0.2         442 0x80000001 0x5fcb
+
+                   Area-Local Opaque-LSA (Area 0.0.0.1)
+
+   Opaque-Type/Id  ADV Router      Age  Seq#       CkSum
+   250.0.0.20      10.0.0.1           0 0x80000001 0x58a6  <=== opaque LSA
+
+You can take a closer look at this opaque LSA:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ospfd> show ip ospf database opaque-area
+
+          OSPF Router with ID (10.0.0.1)
+
+
+                   Area-Local Opaque-LSA (Area 0.0.0.1)
+
+   LS age: 4
+   Options: 66
+   LS Type: Area-Local Opaque-LSA
+   Link State ID: 250.0.0.20 (Area-Local Opaque-Type/ID)
+   Advertising Router: 10.0.0.1
+   LS Seq Number: 80000001
+   Checksum: 0x58a6
+   Length: 24
+   Opaque-Type 250 (Private/Experimental)
+   Opaque-ID 0x14
+   Opaque-Info: 4 octets of data
+   Added using OSPF API: 4 octets of opaque data
+   Opaque data: 1 0 0 0 <==== counter is 1
+
+Note that the main application updates the opaque LSA after 10 seconds, then it
+looks as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ospfd> show ip ospf database opaque-area
+
+          OSPF Router with ID (10.0.0.1)
+
+
+                   Area-Local Opaque-LSA (Area 0.0.0.1)
+
+   LS age: 1
+   Options: 66
+   LS Type: Area-Local Opaque-LSA
+   Link State ID: 250.0.0.20 (Area-Local Opaque-Type/ID)
+   Advertising Router: 10.0.0.1
+   LS Seq Number: 80000002
+   Checksum: 0x59a3
+   Length: 24
+   Opaque-Type 250 (Private/Experimental)
+   Opaque-ID   0x14
+   Opaque-Info: 4 octets of data
+   Added using OSPF API: 4 octets of opaque data
+   Opaque data: 2 0 0 0  <==== counter is now 2
+
+Note that the payload of the opaque LSA has changed as you can see above.
+
+Then, again after another 20 seconds, the opaque LSA is flushed from the LSDB.
+
+Important note:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In order to originate an opaque LSA, there must be at least one active
+opaque-capable neighbor. Thus, you cannot originate opaque LSAs if no neighbors
+are present. If you try to originate when no neighbors are ready, you will
+receive a not ready error message. The reason for this restriction is that it
+might be possible that some routers have an identical opaque LSA from a
+previous origination in their LSDB that unfortunately could not be flushed due
+to a crash, and now if the router comes up again and starts originating a new
+opaque LSA, the new opaque LSA is considered older since it has a lower
+sequence number and is ignored by other routers (that consider the stalled
+opaque LSA as more recent). However, if the originating router first
+synchronizes the database before originating opaque LSAs, it will detect the
+older opaque LSA and can flush it first.
+
+Protocol and Message Formats
+----------------------------
+
+If you are developing your own client application and you don't want to make
+use of the client library (due to the GNU license restriction or whatever
+reason), you can implement your own client-side message handling. The OSPF API
+uses two connections between the client and the OSPF API server: One connection
+is used for a synchronous request /reply protocol and another connection is
+used for asynchronous notifications (e.g., LSA update, neighbor status change).
+
+Each message begins with the following header:

+Original Acknowledgments from Ralph Keller
+------------------------------------------
+
+I would like to thank Masahiko Endo, the author of the opaque LSA extension
+module, for his great support. His wonderful ASCII graphs explaining the
+internal workings of this code, and his invaluable input proved to be crucial
+in designing a useful API for accessing the link state database of the OSPF
+daemon. Once, he even decided to take the plane from Tokyo to Zurich so that we
+could actually meet and have face-to-face discussions, which was a lot of fun.
+Clearly, without Masahiko no API would ever be completed. I also would like to
+thank Daniel Bauer who wrote an opaque LSA implementation too and was willing
+to test the OSPF API code in one of his projects.

+
+* Tested on various topology including point-to-point and LAN interfaces
+  in a mix of FRRouting instance and Cisco IOS-XR 6.0.x
+* Check OSPF LSA conformity with latest wireshark release 2.5.0-rc
+
+Implementation details
+----------------------
+
+Concepts
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Segment Routing used 3 different OPAQUE LSA in OSPF to carry the various
+information:
+
+* **Router Information:** flood the Segment Routing capabilities of the node.
+  This include the supported algorithms, the Segment Routing Global Block
+  (SRGB) and the Maximum Stack Depth (MSD).
+* **Extended Link:** flood the Adjaceny and Lan Adjacency Segment Identifier
+* **Extended Prefix:** flood the Prefix Segment Identifier
+
+The implementation follows previous TE and Router Information codes. It used the
+OPAQUE LSA functions defined in ospf_opaque.[c,h] as well as the OSPF API. This
+latter is mandatory for the implementation as it provides the Callback to
+Segment Routing functions (see below) when an Extended Link / Prefix or Router
+Information LSA s are received.
+
+Overview
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Following files where modified or added:
+
+* ospd_ri.[c,h] have been modified to add the new TLVs for Segment Routing.
+* ospf_ext.[c,h] implement RFC7684 as base support of Extended Link and Prefix
+  Opaque LSA.
+* ospf_sr.[c,h] implement the earth of Segment Routing. It adds a new Segment
+  Routing database to manage Segment Identifiers per Link and Prefix and
+  Segment Routing enable node, Callback functions to process incoming LSA and
+  install MPLS FIB entry through Zebra.
+
+The figure below shows the relation between the various files:
+
+* ospf_sr.c centralized all the Segment Routing processing. It receives Opaque
+  LSA Router Information (4.0.0.0) from ospf_ri.c and Extended Prefix
+  (7.0.0.X) Link (8.0.0.X) from ospf_ext.c. Once received, it parse TLVs and
+  SubTLVs and store information in SRDB (which is defined in ospf_sr.h). For
+  each received LSA, NHLFE is computed and send to Zebra to add/remove new
+  MPLS labels entries and FEC. New CLI configurations are also centralized in
+  ospf_sr.c. This CLI will trigger the flooding of new LSA Router Information
+  (4.0.0.0), Extended Prefix (7.0.0.X) and Link (8.0.0.X) by ospf_ri.c,
+  respectively ospf_ext.c.
+* ospf_ri.c send back to ospf_sr.c received Router Information LSA and update

+      Figure 1: Overview of Segment Routing interaction
+
+Module interactions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To process incoming LSA, the code is based on the capability to call `hook()`
+functions when LSA are inserted or delete to / from the LSDB and the
+possibility to register particular treatment for Opaque LSA. The first point
+is provided by the OSPF API feature and the second by the Opaque implementation
+itself. Indeed, it is possible to register callback function for a given Opaque
+LSA ID (see `ospf_register_opaque_functab()` function defined in
+`ospf_opaque.c`). Each time a new LSA is added to the LSDB, the
+`new_lsa_hook()` function previously register for this LSA type is called. For
+Opaque LSA it is the `ospf_opaque_lsa_install_hook()`.  For deletion, it is
+`ospf_opaque_lsa_delete_hook()`.
+
+Note that incoming LSA which is already present in the LSDB will be inserted
+after the old instance of this LSA remove from the LSDB. Thus, after the first
+time, each incoming LSA will trigger a `delete` following by an `install`. This
+is not very helpful to handle real LSA deletion. In fact, LSA deletion is done
+by Flushing LSA i.e. flood LSA after setting its age to MAX_AGE. Then, a garbage
+function has the role to remove all LSA with `age == MAX_AGE` in the LSDB. So,
+to handle LSA Flush, the best is to look to the LSA age to determine if it is
+an installation or a future deletion i.e. the flushed LSA is first store in the
+LSDB with MAX_AGE waiting for the garbage collector function.
+
+Router Information LSAs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To activate Segment Routing, new CLI command `segment-routing on` has been
+introduced. When this command is activated, function
+`ospf_router_info_update_sr()` is called to indicate to Router Information
+process that Segment Routing TLVs must be flood. Same function is called to
+modify the Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB) and Maximum Stack Depth (MSD)
+TLV. Only Shortest Path First (SPF) Algorithm is supported, so no possibility
+to modify this TLV is offer by the code.
+
+When Opaque LSA Type 4 i.e. Router Information are stored in LSDB, function
+`ospf_opaque_lsa_install_hook()` will call the previously registered function
+`ospf_router_info_lsa_update()`. In turn, the function will simply trigger
+`ospf_sr_ri_lsa_update()` or `ospf_sr_ri_lsa_delete` in function of the LSA
+age. Before, it verifies that the LSA Opaque Type is 4 (Router Information).
+Self Opaque LSA are not send back to the Segment Routing functions as
+information are already stored.
+
+Extended Link Prefix LSAs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Like for Router Information, Segment Routing is activate at the Extended
+Link/Prefix level with new `segment-routing on` command. This triggers
+automatically the flooding of Extended Link LSA for all ospf interfaces where
+adjacency is full. For Extended Prefix LSA, the new CLI command
+`segment-routing prefix ...` will trigger the flooding of Prefix SID
+TLV/SubTLVs.
+
+When Opaque LSA Type 7 i.e. Extended Prefix and Type 8 i.e. Extended Link are
+store in the LSDB, `ospf_ext_pref_update_lsa()` respectively
+`ospf_ext_link_update_lsa()` are called like for Router Information LSA. In
+turn, they respectively trigger `ospf_sr_ext_prefix_lsa_update()` /
+`ospf_sr_ext_link_lsa_update()` or `ospf_sr_ext_prefix_lsa_delete()` /
+`ospf_sr_ext_link_lsa_delete()` if the LSA age is equal to MAX_AGE.
+
+Zebra
+^^^^^
+
+When a new MPLS entry or new Forwarding Equivalent Class (FEC) must be added or
+deleted in the data plane, `add_sid_nhlfe()` respectively `del_sid_nhlfe()` are
+called. Once check the validity of labels, they are send to ZEBRA layer through
+`ZEBRA_MPLS_LABELS_ADD` command, respectively `ZEBRA_MPLS_LABELS_DELETE`
+command for deletion. This is completed by a new labelled route through
+`ZEBRA_ROUTE_ADD` command, respectively `ZEBRA_ROUTE_DELETE` command.
+
+TI-LFA
+^^^^^^
+
+Experimental support for Topology Independent LFA (Loop-Free Alternate), see
+for example 'draft-bashandy-rtgwg-segment-routing-ti-lfa-05'. The related
+files are `ospf_ti_lfa.c/h`.
+
+The current implementation is rather naive and does not support the advanced
+optimizations suggested in e.g. RFC7490 or RFC8102. It focuses on providing
+the essential infrastructure which can also later be used to enhance the
+algorithmic aspects.
+
+Supported features:
+
+* Link and node protection
+* Intra-area support
+* Proper use of Prefix- and Adjacency-SIDs in label stacks
+* Asymmetric weights (using reverse SPF)
+* Non-adjacent P/Q spaces
+* Protection of Prefix-SIDs
+
+If configured for every SPF run the routing table is enriched with additional
+backup paths for every prefix. The corresponding Prefix-SIDs are updated with
+backup paths too within the OSPF SR update task.
+
+Informal High-Level Algorithm Description:
+
+::
+
+  p_spaces = empty_list()
+
+  for every protected_resource (link or node):
+    p_space = generate_p_space(protected_resource)
+    p_space.q_spaces = empty_list()
+
+    for every destination that is affected by the protected_resource:
+      q_space = generate_q_space(destination)
+
+      # The label stack is stored in q_space
+      generate_label_stack(p_space, q_space)
+
+      # The p_space collects all its q_spaces
+      p_spaces.q_spaces.add(q_space)
+
+    p_spaces.add(p_space)
+
+  adjust_routing_table(p_spaces)
+
+Possible Performance Improvements:
+
+* Improve overall datastructures, get away from linked lists for vertices
+* Don't calculate a Q space for every destination, but for a minimum set of
+  backup paths that cover all destinations in the post-convergence SPF. The
+  thinking here is that once a backup path is known that it is also a backup
+  path for all nodes on the path themselves. This can be done by using the
+  leafs of a trimmed minimum spanning tree generated out of the post-
+  convergence SPF tree for that particular P space.
+* For an alternative (maybe better) optimization look at
+  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7490#section-5.2.1.3 which describes using
+  the Q space of the node which is affected by e.g. a link failure. Note that
+  this optimization is topology dependent.
+
+It is highly recommended to read e.g. `Segment Routing I/II` by Filsfils to
+understand the basics of Ti-LFA.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Linux Kernel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In order to use OSPF Segment Routing, you must setup MPLS data plane. Up to
+know, only Linux Kernel version >= 4.5 is supported.
+
+First, the MPLS modules aren't loaded by default, so you'll need to load them
+yourself:
+
+::
+
+   modprobe mpls_router
+   modprobe mpls_gso
+   modprobe mpls_iptunnel
+
+Then, you must activate MPLS on the interface you would used:
+
+::
+
+   sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.enp0s9.input=1
+   sysctl -w net.mpls.conf.lo.input=1
+   sysctl -w net.mpls.platform_labels=1048575
+
+The last line fix the maximum MPLS label value.
+
+Once OSPFd start with Segment Routing, you could check that MPLS routes are
+enable with:
+
+::
+
+   ip -M route
+   ip route
+
+The first command show the MPLS LFIB table while the second show the FIB
+table which contains route with MPLS label encapsulation.
+
+If you disable Penultimate Hop Popping with the `no-php-flag` (see below), you
+MUST check that RP filter is not enable for the interface you intend to use,
+especially the `lo` one. For that purpose, disable RP filtering with:
+
+::
+
+   systcl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=0
+   sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.lo.rp_filter=0
+
+OSPFd
+^^^^^
+
+Here it is a simple example of configuration to enable Segment Routing. Note
+that `opaque capability` and `router information` must be set to activate
+Opaque LSA prior to Segment
+Routing.
+
+::
+
+   router ospf
+    ospf router-id 192.168.1.11
+    capability opaque
+    segment-routing on
+    segment-routing global-block 10000 19999 local-block 5000 5999
+    segment-routing node-msd 8
+    segment-routing prefix 192.168.1.11/32 index 1100
+
+The first segment-routing statement enables it. The second and third one set
+the SRGB and SRLB respectively, fourth line the MSD and finally, set the
+Prefix SID index for a given prefix.
+
+Note that only prefix of Loopback interface could be configured with a Prefix
+SID. It is possible to add `no-php-flag` at the end of the prefix command to
+disable Penultimate Hop Popping. This advertises to peers that they MUST NOT pop
+the MPLS label prior to sending the packet.
+
+Known limitations
+-----------------
+
+* Runs only within default VRF
+* Only single Area is supported. ABR is not yet supported
+* Only SPF algorithm is supported
+* Extended Prefix Range is not supported
+* With NO Penultimate Hop Popping, it is not possible to express a Segment
+  Path with an Adjacency SID due to the impossibility for the Linux Kernel to
+  perform double POP instruction.

+Packaging Debian
+================
+
+(Tested on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 17.10, 18.04, Debian jessie, stretch and
+buster.)
+
+1. Install the Debian packaging tools:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      sudo apt install fakeroot debhelper devscripts
+
+2. Checkout FRR under an **unprivileged** user account:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+      cd frr
+
+   If you wish to build a package for a branch other than master:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      git checkout <branch>
+
+3. Install build dependencies using the  `mk-build-deps` tool from the
+   `devscripts` package:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      sudo mk-build-deps --install --remove debian/control
+
+   Alternatively, you can manually install build dependencies for your
+   platform as outlined in :ref:`building`.
+
+4. Install `git-buildpackage` package:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      sudo apt-get install git-buildpackage
+
+5. (optional) Append a distribution identifier if needed (see below under
+   :ref:`multi-dist`.)
+
+6. Build Debian Binary and/or Source Packages:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      gbp buildpackage --git-builder=dpkg-buildpackage --git-debian-branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" $options
+
+   Where `$options` may contain any or all of the following items:
+
+   * build profiles specified with ``-P``, e.g.
+     ``-Ppkg.frr.nortrlib,pkg.frr.rtrlib``.
+     Multiple values are separated by commas and there must not be a space
+     after the ``-P``.
+
+     The following build profiles are currently available:
+
+     +----------------+-------------------+-----------------------------------------+
+     | Profile        | Negation          | Effect                                  |
+     +================+===================+=========================================+
+     | pkg.frr.rtrlib | pkg.frr.nortrlib  | builds frr-rpki-rtrlib package (or not) |
+     +----------------+-------------------+-----------------------------------------+
+     | pkg.frr.lua    | pkg.frr.nolua     | builds lua scripting extension          |
+     +----------------+-------------------+-----------------------------------------+
+     | pkg.frr.pim6d  | pkg.frr.nopim6d   | builds pim6d (work in progress)         |
+     +----------------+-------------------+-----------------------------------------+
+
+   * the ``-uc -us`` options to disable signing the packages with your GPG key
+
+     (git builds of the `master` or `stable/X.X` branches won't be signed by
+     default since their target release is set to ``UNRELEASED``.)
+
+   * the ``--build=type`` accepts following options (see ``dpkg-buildpackage`` manual page):
+
+     * ``source`` builds the source package
+     * ``any`` builds the architecture specific binary packages
+     * ``all`` build the architecture independent binary packages
+     * ``binary`` build the architecture specific and independent binary packages (alias for ``any,all``)
+     * ``full`` builds everything (alias for ``source,any,all``)
+
+   Alternatively, you might want to replace ``dpkg-buildpackage`` with
+   ``debuild`` wrapper that also runs ``lintian`` and ``debsign`` on the final
+   packages.
+
+7. Done!
+
+   If all worked correctly, then you should end up with the Debian packages in
+   the parent directory of where `debuild` ran.  If distributed, please make sure
+   you distribute it together with the sources (``frr_*.orig.tar.xz``,
+   ``frr_*.debian.tar.xz`` and ``frr_*.dsc``)
+
+.. note::
+
+   A package created from `master` or `stable/X.X` is slightly different from
+   a package created from the `debian` branch.  The changelog for the former
+   is autogenerated and sets the Debian revision to ``-0``, which causes an
+   intentional lintian warning.  The `debian` branch on the other hand has
+   a manually maintained changelog that contains proper Debian release
+   versioning.
+
+
+.. _multi-dist:
+
+Multi-Distribution builds
+=========================
+
+You can optionally append a distribution identifier in case you want to
+make multiple versions of the package available in the same repository.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   dch -l '~deb8u' 'build for Debian 8 (jessie)'
+   dch -l '~deb9u' 'build for Debian 9 (stretch)'
+   dch -l '~ubuntu14.04.' 'build for Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)'
+   dch -l '~ubuntu16.04.' 'build for Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial)'
+   dch -l '~ubuntu18.04.' 'build for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic)'
+
+Between building packages for specific distributions, the only difference
+in the package itself lies in the automatically generated shared library
+dependencies, e.g. libjson-c2 or libjson-c3.  This means that the
+architecture independent packages should **not** have a suffix appended.
+Also, the current Debian testing/unstable releases should not have any suffix
+appended.
+
+For example, at the end of 2018 (i.e. ``buster``/Debian 10 is the current
+"testing" release), the following is a complete list of `.deb` files for
+Debian 8, 9 and 10 packages for FRR 6.0.1-1 with RPKI support::
+
+   frr_6.0.1-1_amd64.deb
+   frr_6.0.1-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb
+   frr_6.0.1-1~deb9u1_amd64.deb
+   frr-dbg_6.0.1-1_amd64.deb
+   frr-dbg_6.0.1-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb
+   frr-dbg_6.0.1-1~deb9u1_amd64.deb
+   frr-rpki-rtrlib_6.0.1-1_amd64.deb
+   frr-rpki-rtrlib_6.0.1-1~deb8u1_amd64.deb
+   frr-rpki-rtrlib_6.0.1-1~deb9u1_amd64.deb
+   frr-doc_6.0.1-1_all.deb
+   frr-pythontools_6.0.1-1_all.deb
+
+Note that there are no extra versions of the `frr-doc` and `frr-pythontools`
+packages (because they are for architecture ``all``, not ``amd64``), and the
+version for Debian 10 does **not** have a ``~deb10u1`` suffix.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Do not use the ``-`` character in the version suffix.  The last ``-`` in
+   the version number is the separator between upstream version and Debian
+   version.  ``6.0.1-1~foobar-2`` means upstream version ``6.0.1-1~foobar``,
+   Debian version ``2``.  This is not what you want.
+
+   The only allowed characters in the Debian version are ``0-9 A-Z a-z + . ~``
+
+.. note::
+
+   The separating character for the suffix **must** be the tilde (``~``)
+   because the tilde is ordered in version-comparison before the empty
+   string.  That means the order of the above packages is the following:
+
+   ``6.0.1-1`` newer than ``6.0.1-1~deb9u1`` newer than ``6.0.1-1~deb8u1``
+
+   If you use another character (e.g. ``+``), the untagged version will be
+   regarded as the "oldest"!

+Packaging Red Hat
+=================
+
+Tested on CentOS 6, CentOS 7, CentOS 8 and Fedora 24.
+
+1. On CentOS 6, refer to :ref:`building-centos6` for details on installing
+   sufficiently up-to-date package versions to enable building FRR.
+
+   Newer automake/autoconf/bison is only needed to build the RPM and is **not**
+   needed to install the binary RPM package.
+
+2. Install the build dependencies for your platform. Refer to the
+   platform-specific build documentation on how to do this.
+
+3. Install the following additional packages::
+
+      yum install rpm-build net-snmp-devel pam-devel libcap-devel
+
+   For CentOS 7 and CentOS 8, the package will be built using python3
+   and requires additional python3 packages::
+
+       yum install python3-devel python3-sphinx
+
+   .. note::
+
+     For CentOS 8 you need to install ``platform-python-devel`` package
+     to provide ``/usr/bin/pathfix.py``::
+
+       yum install platform-python-devel
+
+
+   If ``yum`` is not present on your system, use ``dnf`` instead.
+
+   You should enable ``PowerTools`` repo if using CentOS 8 which
+   is disabled by default.
+
+4. Checkout FRR::
+
+      git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+
+5. Run Bootstrap and make distribution tar.gz::
+
+      cd frr
+      ./bootstrap.sh
+      ./configure --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyRPMVersion
+      make dist
+
+   .. note::
+
+      The only ``configure`` option respected when building RPMs is
+      ``--with-pkg-extra-version``.
+
+6. Create RPM directory structure and populate with sources::
+
+     mkdir rpmbuild
+     mkdir rpmbuild/SOURCES
+     mkdir rpmbuild/SPECS
+     cp redhat/*.spec rpmbuild/SPECS/
+     cp frr*.tar.gz rpmbuild/SOURCES/
+
+7. Edit :file:`rpm/SPECS/frr.spec` with configuration as needed.

+
+8. Build the RPM::
+
+      rpmbuild --define "_topdir `pwd`/rpmbuild" -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/frr.spec
+
+   If building with RPKI, then download and install the additional RPKI
+   packages from
+   https://ci1.netdef.org/browse/RPKI-RTRLIB/latestSuccessful/artifact
+
+If all works correctly, then you should end up with the RPMs under
+:file:`rpmbuild/RPMS` and the source RPM under :file:`rpmbuild/SRPMS`.

+PATHD Internals
+===============
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+Overview
+........
+
+The pathd deamon manages the segment routing policies, it owns the data
+structures representing them and can load modules that manipulate them like the
+PCEP module. Its responsibility is to select a candidate path for each
+configured policy and to install it into Zebra.
+
+Zebra
+.....
+
+Zebra manages policies that are active or pending to be activated due to the
+next hop not being available yet. In zebra, policy data structures and APIs are
+defined in `zebra_srte.[hc]`.
+
+The responsibilities of Zebra are:
+
+ - Store the policies' segment list.
+ - Install the policies when their next-hop is available.
+ - Notify other daemons of the status of the policies.
+
+Adding and removing policies is done using the commands `ZEBRA_SR_POLICY_SET`
+and `ZEBRA_SR_POLICY_DELETE` as parameter of the function `zebra_send_sr_policy`
+all defined in `zclient.[hc]`.
+
+If the first segment of the policy is an unknown label, it is kept until
+notified by the mpls hooks `zebra_mpls_label_created`, and then it is installed.
+
+To get notified when a policy status changes, a client can implement the
+`sr_policy_notify_status` callback defined in `zclient.[hc]`.
+
+For encoding/decoding the various data structures used to comunicate with zebra,
+the following functions are available from `zclient.[hc]`:
+`zapi_sr_policy_encode`, `zapi_sr_policy_decode` and
+`zapi_sr_policy_notify_status_decode`.
+
+
+Pathd
+.....
+
+
+The pathd daemon manages all the possible candidate paths for the segment
+routing policies and selects the best one following the
+`segment routing policy draft <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy-06#section-2.9>`_.
+It also supports loadable modules for handling dynamic candidate paths and the
+creation of new policies and candidate paths at runtime.
+
+The responsibilities of the pathd base daemon, not including any optional
+modules, are:
+
+ - Store the policies and all the possible candidate paths for them.
+ - Select the best candidate path for each policy and send it to Zebra.
+ - Provide VTYSH configuration to set up policies and candidate paths.
+ - Provide a Northbound API to manipulate **configured** policies and candidate paths.
+ - Handle loadable modules for extending the functionality.
+ - Provide an API to the loadable module to manipulate policies and candidate paths.
+
+
+Threading Model
+---------------
+
+The daemon runs completely inside the main thread using FRR event model, there
+is no threading involved.
+
+
+Source Code
+-----------
+
+Internal Data Structures
+........................
+
+The main data structures for policies and candidate paths are defined in
+`pathd.h` and implemented in `pathd.c`.
+
+When modifying these structures, either directly or through the functions
+exported by `pathd.h`, nothing should be deleted/freed right away. The deletion
+or modification flags must be set and when all the changes are done, the
+function `srte_apply_changes` must be called. When called, a new candidate path
+may be elected and sent to Zebra, and all the structures flagged as deleted
+will be freed. In addition, a hook will be called so dynamic modules can perform
+any required action when the elected candidate path changes.
+
+
+Northbound API
+..............
+
+The northbound API is defined in `path_nb.[ch]` and implemented in
+`path_nb_config.c` for configuration data and `path_nb_state.c` for operational
+data.
+
+
+Command Line Client
+...................
+
+The command-line client (VTYSH) is implemented in `path_cli.c`.
+
+
+Interface with Zebra
+....................
+
+All the functions interfacing with Zebra are defined and implemented in
+`path_zebra.[hc]`.
+
+
+Loadable Module API
+...................
+
+For the time being, the API the loadable module uses is defined by `pathd.h`,
+but in the future, it should be moved to a dedicated include file.

+PCEP Module Internals
+=====================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The PCEP module for the pathd daemon implements the PCEP protocol described in
+:rfc:`5440` to update the policies and candidate paths.
+
+The protocol encoding/decoding and the basic session management is handled by
+the `pceplib external library 1.2 <https://github.com/volta-networks/pceplib/tree/devel-1.2>`_.
+
+Together with pceplib, this module supports at least partially:
+
+  - :rfc:`5440`
+
+        Most of the protocol defined in the RFC is implemented.
+        All the messages can be parsed, but this was only tested in the context
+        of segment routing. Only a very small subset of metric types can be
+        configured, and there is a known issue with some Cisco routers not
+        following the IANA numbers for metrics.
+
+  - :rfc:`8231`
+
+        Support delegation of candidate path after performing the initial
+        computation request. If the PCE does not respond or cannot compute
+        a path, an empty candidate path is delegated to the PCE.
+        Only tested in the context of segment routing.
+
+  - :rfc:`8408`
+
+        Only used to comunicate the support for segment routing to the PCE.
+
+  - :rfc:`8664`
+
+        All the NAI types are implemented, but only the MPLS NAI are supported.
+        If the PCE provide segments that are not MPLS labels, the PCC will
+        return an error.
+
+Note that pceplib supports more RFCs and drafts, see pceplib
+`README <https://github.com/volta-networks/pceplib/blob/master/README.md>`_
+for more details.
+
+
+Architecture
+------------
+
+Overview
+........
+
+The module is separated into multiple layers:
+
+ - pathd interface
+ - command-line console
+ - controller
+ - PCC
+ - pceplib interface
+
+The pathd interface handles all the interactions with the daemon API.
+
+The command-line console handles all the VTYSH configuration commands.
+
+The controller manages the multiple PCC connections and the interaction between
+them and the daemon interface.
+
+The PCC handles a single connection to a PCE through a pceplib session.
+
+The pceplib interface abstracts the API of the pceplib.
+
+.. figure:: ../figures/pcep_module_threading_overview.svg
+
+
+Threading Model
+---------------
+
+The module requires multiple threads to cooperate:
+
+ - The main thread used by the pathd daemon.
+ - The controller pthread used to isolate the PCC from the main thread.
+ - The possible threads started in the pceplib library.
+
+To ensure thread safety, all the controller and PCC state data structures can
+only be read and modified in the controller thread, and all the global data
+structures can only be read and modified in the main thread. Most of the
+interactions between these threads are done through FRR timers and events.
+
+The controller is the bridge between the two threads, all the functions that
+**MUST** be called from the main thread start with the prefix `pcep_ctrl_` and
+all the functions that **MUST** be called from the controller thread start
+with the prefix `pcep_thread_`. When an asynchronous action must be taken in
+a different thread, an FRR event is sent to the thread. If some synchronous
+operation is needed, the calling thread will block and run a callback in the
+other thread, there the result is **COPIED** and returned to the calling thread.
+
+No function other than the controller functions defined for it should be called
+from the main thread. The only exception being some utility functions from
+`path_pcep_lib.[hc]`.
+
+All the calls to pathd API functions **MUST** be performed in the main thread,
+for that, the controller sends FRR events handled in function
+`path_pcep.c:pcep_main_event_handler`.
+
+For the same reason, the console client only runs in the main thread. It can
+freely use the global variable, but **MUST** use controller's `pcep_ctrl_`
+functions to interact with the PCCs.
+
+
+Source Code
+-----------
+
+Generic Data Structures
+.......................
+
+The data structures are defined in multiple places, and where they are defined
+dictates where they can be used.
+
+The data structures defined in `path_pcep.h` can be used anywhere in the module.
+
+Internally, throughout the module, the `struct path` data structure is used
+to describe PCEP messages. It is a simplified flattened structure that can
+represent multiple complex PCEP message types. The conversion from this
+structure to the PCEP data structures used by pceplib is done in the pceplib
+interface layer.
+
+The data structures defined in `path_pcep_controller.h` should only be used
+in `path_pcep_controller.c`. Even if a structure pointer is passed as a parameter
+to functions defined in `path_pcep_pcc.h`, these should consider it as an opaque
+data structure only used to call back controller functions.
+
+The same applies to the structures defined in `path_pcep_pcc.h`, even if the
+controller owns a reference to this data structure, it should never read or
+modify it directly, it should be considered an opaque structure.
+
+The global data structure can be accessed from the pathd interface layer
+`path_pcep.c` and the command line client code `path_pcep_cli.c`.
+
+
+Interface With Pathd
+....................
+
+All the functions calling or called by the pathd daemon are implemented in
+`path_pcep.c`. These functions **MUST** run in the main FRR thread, and
+all the interactions with the controller and the PCCs **MUST** pass through
+the controller's `pcep_ctrl_` prefixed functions.
+
+To handle asynchronous events from the PCCs, a callback is passed to
+`pcep_ctrl_initialize` that is called in the FRR main thread context.
+
+
+Command Line Client
+...................
+
+All the command line configuration commands (VTYSH) are implemented in
+`path_pcep_cli.c`. All the functions there run in the main FRR thread and
+can freely access the global variables. All the interaction with the
+controller's and the PCCs **MUST** pass through the controller `pcep_ctrl_`
+prefixed functions.
+
+
+Debugging Helpers
+.................
+
+All the functions formating data structures for debugging and logging purposes
+are implemented in `path_pcep_debug.[hc]`.
+
+
+Interface with pceplib
+......................
+
+All the functions calling the pceplib external library are defined in
+`path_pcep_lib.[hc]`. Some functions are called from the main FRR thread, like
+`pcep_lib_initialize`, `pcep_lib_finalize`; some can be called from either
+thread, like `pcep_lib_free_counters`; some function must be called from the
+controller thread, like `pcep_lib_connect`. This will probably be formalized
+later on with function prefix like done in the controller.
+
+
+Controller
+..........
+
+The controller is defined and implemented in `path_pcep_controller.[hc]`.
+Part of the controller code runs in FRR main thread and part runs in its own
+FRR pthread started to isolate the main thread from the PCCs' event loop.
+To communicate between the threads it uses FRR events, timers and
+`thread_execute` calls.
+
+
+PCC
+...
+
+Each PCC instance owns its state and runs in the controller thread. They are
+defined and implemented in `path_pcep_pcc.[hc]`. All the interactions with
+the daemon must pass through some controller's `pcep_thread_` prefixed function.

+*******
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The PCEPlib is a PCEP implementation library that can be used by either a PCE
+or PCC.
+
+Currently, only the FRR pathd has been implemented as a PCC with the PCEPlib.
+The PCEPlib is able to simultaneously connect to multiple PCEP peers and can
+maintain persistent PCEP connections.
+
+
+PCEPlib compliance
+==================
+
+The PCEPlib implements version 1 of the PCEP protocol, according to `RFC 5440 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5440>`_.
+
+Additionally, the PCEPlib implements the following PCEP extensions:
+
+- `RFC 8281 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8281>`_ PCE initiated for PCE-Initiated LSP Setup
+- `RFC 8231 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8231>`_ Extensions for Stateful PCE
+- `RFC 8232 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8232>`_ Optimizations of Label Switched Path State Synchronization Procedures for a Stateful PCE

+
+PCEPlib Architecture
+====================
+
+The PCEPlib is comprised of the following modules, each of which will be
+detailed in the following sections.
+
+- **pcep_messages**
+    - PCEP messages, objects, and TLVs implementations
+    
+- **pcep_pcc**
+    - PCEPlib public PCC API with a sample PCC binary
+
+- **pcep_session_logic**
+    - PCEP Session handling
+
+- **pcep_socket_comm**
+    - Socket communications
+
+- **pcep_timers**
+    - PCEP timers
+
+- **pcep_utils**
+    - Internal utilities used by the PCEPlib modules.
+
+The interaction of these modules can be seen in the following diagram.
+
+PCEPlib Architecture:
+
+.. image:: images/PCEPlib_design.jpg
+
+
+PCEP Session Logic library
+--------------------------
+
+The PCEP Session Logic library orchestrates calls to the rest of the PCC libraries.
+
+PCEP Session Logic library responsibilities:
+
+- Handle messages received from "PCEP Socket Comm"
+- Create and manage "PCEP Session" objects
+- Set timers and react to timer expirations
+- Manage counters
+
+The PCEP Session Logic library will have 2 main triggers controlled by a
+pthread condition variable:
+
+- Timer expirations - ``on_timer_expire()`` callback
+- Messages received from PCEP SocketComm - ``message_received()`` callback
+
+The counters are created and managed using the ``pcep_utils/pcep_utils_counters.h``
+counters library. The following are the different counter groups managed:
+
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_RX_MSG**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_TX_MSG**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_RX_OBJ**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_TX_OBJ**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_RX_SUBOBJ**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_TX_SUBOBJ**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_RX_RO_SR_SUBOBJ**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_TX_RO_SR_SUBOBJ**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_RX_TLV**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_TX_TLV**
+- **COUNTER_SUBGROUP_ID_EVENT**
+
+The counters can be obtained and reset as explained later in the PCEPlib PCC API.
+
+PCEP Socket Comm library
+------------------------
+
+PCEP communication can be configured to be handled internally in this simple
+library. When this library is instantiated by the PCEP Session Logic, callbacks
+are provided to handle received messages and error conditions. 
+
+The following diagram illustrates how the library works.
+
+PCEPlib Socket Comm:
+
+.. image:: images/PCEPlib_socket_comm.jpg
+
+
+PCEP Timers library
+-------------------
+
+Timers can be configured to be handled internally by this library. When this
+library is instantiated by the PCEP Session Logic, callbacks are provided to
+ha:0
+ndle timer expirations. The following timers are implemented and handled,
+according to `RFC 5440 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5440>`_.
+
+- Open KeepWait (fixed at 60 seconds)
+    - Set once the PCC sends an Open, and if it expires before receiving a KeepAlive or PCErr, then the PCC should send a PCErr and close the TCP connection
+
+- Keepalive timer
+    - How often the PCC should send Keepalive messages to the PCE (and vice-versa)
+    - The timer will be reset after any message is sent: any message serves as a Keepalive
+
+- DeadTimer
+    - If no messages are received before expiration, the session is declared as down
+    - Reset everytime any message is received
+
+- PCReq request timer
+    - How long the PCC waits for the PCE to reply to PCReq messages.
+
+PCEPlib Timers:
+
+.. image:: images/PCEPlib_timers.jpg
+
+
+PCEP Messages library
+---------------------
+
+The PCEP Messages library has all of the implemented PCEP messages, objects,
+TLVs, and related functionality.
+
+The following header files can be used for creating and handling received PCEP
+entities.
+
+- pcep-messages.h
+- pcep-objects.h
+- pcep-tlvs.h
+
+
+PCEP Messages
++++++++++++++
+
+The following PCEP messages can be created and received:
+
+- ``struct pcep_message*  pcep_msg_create_open(...);``
+- ``struct pcep_message*  pcep_msg_create_open_with_tlvs(...);``
+- ``struct pcep_message*  pcep_msg_create_request(...);``

+
+
+PCEP PCC
+--------
+
+This module has a Public PCC API library (explained in detail later) and a
+sample PCC binary.  The APIs in this library encapsulate other PCEPlib libraries
+for simplicity. With this API, the PCEPlib PCC can be started and stopped, and
+the PCEPlib event queue can be accessed. The PCEP Messages library is not
+encapsulated, and should be used directly.
+
+
+Internal Dependencies
+---------------------
+
+The following diagram illustrates the internal PCEPlib library dependencies.
+
+PCEPlib internal dependencies:
+
+.. image:: images/PCEPlib_internal_deps.jpg
+
+
+External Dependencies
+---------------------
+
+Originally the PCEPlib was based on the open source `libpcep project <https://www.acreo.se/open-software-libpcep>`_,
+but that dependency has been reduced to just one source file (pcep-tools.[ch]).
+
+
+PCEPlib Threading model
+-----------------------
+
+The PCEPlib can be run in stand-alone mode whereby a thread is launched for 
+timers and socket comm, as is illustrated in the following diagram.
+
+PCEPlib Threading model:
+
+.. image:: images/PCEPlib_threading_model.jpg
+
+The PCEPlib can also be configured to use an external timers and socket
+infrastructure like the FRR threads and tasks. In this case, no internal
+threads are launched for timers and socket comm, as is illustrated in the
+following diagram.
+
+PCEPlib Threading model with external infra:
+
+.. image:: images/PCEPlib_threading_model_frr_infra.jpg
+
+
+Building
+--------
+
+The autotools build system is used and integrated with the frr build system.
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+The Unit Tests for an individual library are executed with the ``make check``
+command. The Unit Test binary will be written to the project ``build`` directory.
+All Unit Tests are executed with Valgrind, and any memory issues reported by
+Valgrind will cause the Unit Test to fail.
+
+
+PCEPlib PCC API
+===============
+
+The following sections describe the PCEPlib PCC API.
+
+
+PCEPlib PCC Initialization and Destruction
+------------------------------------------
+

+
+PCEPlib PCC initialization and destruction functions:
+
+- ``bool initialize_pcc();``
+- ``bool initialize_pcc_wait_for_completion();``

+- 1 Timer pthread
+- 1 SocketComm pthread
+- 1 SessionLogic pthread
+
+When ``destroy_pcc()`` is called, all pthreads will be stopped and all
+resources will be released.

+PCEPlib PCC configuration
+-------------------------
+
+PCEPlib PCC configuratoin functions:
+
+- ``pcep_configuration *create_default_pcep_configuration();``
+- ``void destroy_pcep_configuration(pcep_configuration *config);``
+
+A ``pcep_configuration`` object with default values is created with
+``create_default_pcep_configuration()``. These values can be tailored to
+specific use cases.
+
+Created ``pcep_configuration`` objects are destroyed with
+``destroy_pcep_configuration()``.
+
+
+PCEPlib PCC configuration paramaters

+      support_include_db_version flag is true, then an LSP DB
+      Version TLV will be added to the PCEP Open object.
+    - This parameter should only be set if LSP-DB survived a restart
+      and is available.
+    - This value will be copied over to the pcep_session upon initialization.

+- ``void disconnect_pce(pcep_session *session);``
+
+When connecting to a PCE, a ``pcep_session`` will be returned on success, NULL
+otherwise.
+
+Refer to the above PCC configuration parameters section for setting the source
+and destination PCEP TCP ports, and the source IP address and version.
+
+
+PCEP Messages, Objects, and TLVs
+--------------------------------
+
+The PCEP messages, objects, and TLVs created in the PCEPlib are high-level API
+structures, meaning they need to be encoded before being sent on-the-wire, and
+the raw data received needs to be decoded into these structures. This makes
+using these objects much easier for the library consumer, since they do not
+need to know the detailed raw format of the PCEP entities.
+
+
+PCEP Messages
++++++++++++++
+
+Received messages (in the ``pcep_event`` explained below) are of type
+``pcep_message``, which have the following fields:
+
+- ``struct pcep_message_header *msg_header;``
+    - Defines the PCEP version and message type
+
+- ``double_linked_list *obj_list;``
+    - A double linked list of the message objects
+    - Each entry is a pointer to a ``struct pcep_object_header``, and
+      using the ``object_class`` and ``object_type`` fields, the pointer
+      can be cast to the appropriate object structure to access the
+      rest of the object fields
+
+- ``uint8_t *encoded_message;``
+    - This field is only populated for received messages or once the
+      ``pcep_encode_message()`` function has been called on the message.
+    - This field is a pointer to the raw PCEP data for the entire
+      message, including all objects and TLVs.
+
+- ``uint16_t encoded_message_length;``
+    - This field is only populated for received messages or once the
+      ``pcep_encode_message()`` function has been called on the message.
+    - This field is the length of the entire raw message, including
+      all objects and TLVs.
+    - This field is in host byte order.
+
+
+PCEP Objects
+++++++++++++
+
+A PCEP message has a double linked list of pointers to ``struct pcep_object_header``
+structures, which have the following fields:
+
+- ``enum pcep_object_classes object_class;``
+- ``enum pcep_object_types object_type;``
+- ``bool flag_p;``
+    - PCC Processing rule bit: When set, the object MUST be taken into
+      account, when cleared the object is optional
+
+- ``bool flag_i;``
+    - PCE Ignore bit: indicates to a PCC whether or not an optional
+      object was processed 
+
+- ``double_linked_list *tlv_list;``
+    - A double linked list of the object TLVs
+    - Each entry is a pointer to a ``struct pcep_object_tlv_header``, and
+      using the TLV type field, the pointer can be cast to the
+      appropriate TLV structure to access the rest of the TLV fields
+
+- ``uint8_t *encoded_object;``
+    - This field is only populated for received objects or once the
+      ``pcep_encode_object()`` (called by ``pcep_encode_message()``)
+      function has been called on the object.
+    - Pointer into the encoded_message field (from the pcep_message)
+      where the raw object PCEP data starts.
+
+- ``uint16_t encoded_object_length;``
+    - This field is only populated for received objects or once the
+      ``pcep_encode_object()`` (called by ``pcep_encode_message()``)
+      function has been called on the object.
+    - This field is the length of the entire raw TLV
+    - This field is in host byte order.
+
+The object class and type can be used to cast the ``struct pcep_object_header``
+pointer to the appropriate object structure so the specific object fields can
+be accessed.
+
+
+PCEP TLVs
++++++++++
+
+A PCEP object has a double linked list of pointers to ``struct pcep_object_tlv_header``
+structures, which have the following fields:
+
+- ``enum pcep_object_tlv_types type;``
+- ``uint8_t *encoded_tlv;``
+    - This field is only populated for received TLVs or once the
+      ``pcep_encode_tlv()`` (called by ``pcep_encode_message()``)
+      function has been called on the TLV.
+    - Pointer into the encoded_message field (from the pcep_message)
+      where the raw TLV PCEP data starts.
+
+- ``uint16_t encoded_tlv_length;``
+    - This field is only populated for received TLVs or once the
+      ``pcep_encode_tlv()`` (called by ``pcep_encode_message()``)
+      function has been called on the TLV.
+    - This field is the length of the entire raw TLV
+    - This field is in host byte order.
+
+
+Memory management
++++++++++++++++++
+
+Any of the PCEPlib Message Library functions that receive a pointer to a
+``double_linked_list``, ``pcep_object_header``, or ``pcep_object_tlv_header``,
+transfer the ownership of the entity to the PCEPlib. The memory will be freed
+internally when the encapsulating structure is freed. If the memory for any of
+these is freed by the caller, then there will be a double memory free error
+when the memory is freed internally in the PCEPlib.
+
+Any of the PCEPlib Message Library functions that receive either a pointer to a
+``struct in_addr`` or ``struct in6_addr`` will allocate memory for the IP
+address internally and copy the IP address. It is the responsibility of the
+caller to manage the memory for the IP address passed into the PCEPlib Message
+Library functions.
+
+For messages received via the event queue (explained below), the message will
+be freed when the event is freed by calling ``destroy_pcep_event()``.
+
+When sending messages, the message will be freed internally in the PCEPlib when
+the ``send_message()`` ``pcep_pcc`` API function when the ``free_after_send`` flag
+is set true.
+
+To manually delete a message, call the ``pcep_msg_free_message()`` function.
+Internally, this will call ``pcep_obj_free_object()`` and ``pcep_obj_free_tlv()``
+appropriately.
+
+
+Sending a PCEP Report message
+-----------------------------
+
+This section shows how to send a PCEP Report messages from the PCC to the PCE,
+and serves as an example of how to send other messages. Refer to the sample
+PCC binary located in ``pcep_pcc/src/pcep_pcc.c`` for code examples os sending
+a PCEP Report message.
+
+The Report message must have at least an SRP, LSP, and ERO object.
+
+The PCEP Report message objects are created with the following APIs:
+
+- ``struct pcep_object_srp *pcep_obj_create_srp(...);``
+- ``struct pcep_object_lsp *pcep_obj_create_lsp(...);``
+- ``struct pcep_object_ro *pcep_obj_create_ero(...);``
+    - Create ero subobjects with the ``pcep_obj_create_ro_subobj_*(...);`` functions
+
+PCEP Report message is created with the following API:
+
+- ``struct pcep_header *pcep_msg_create_report(double_linked_list *report_object_list);``
+
+A PCEP report messages is sent with the following API:
+
+- ``void send_message(pcep_session *session, pcep_message *message, bool free_after_send);``
+
+
+PCEPlib Received event queue
+----------------------------
+
+PCEP events and messages of interest to the PCEPlib consumer will be stored
+internally in a message queue for retrieval.
+
+The following are the event types:
+
+- **MESSAGE_RECEIVED**
+- **PCE_CLOSED_SOCKET**
+- **PCE_SENT_PCEP_CLOSE**
+- **PCE_DEAD_TIMER_EXPIRED**
+- **PCE_OPEN_KEEP_WAIT_TIMER_EXPIRED**
+- **PCC_CONNECTED_TO_PCE**
+- **PCC_CONNECTION_FAILURE**
+- **PCC_PCEP_SESSION_CLOSED**
+- **PCC_RCVD_INVALID_OPEN**
+- **PCC_SENT_INVALID_OPEN**
+- **PCC_RCVD_MAX_INVALID_MSGS**
+- **PCC_RCVD_MAX_UNKOWN_MSGS**
+
+The following PCEP messages will not be posted on the message queue, as they
+are handled internally in the library:
+
+- **Open**
+- **Keep Alive**
+- **Close**
+
+Received event queue API:
+
+- ``bool event_queue_is_empty();``
+    - Returns true if the queue is empty, false otherwise
+
+- ``uint32_t event_queue_num_events_available();``
+    - Return the number of events on the queue, 0 if empty
+
+- ``struct pcep_event *event_queue_get_event();``
+    - Return the next event on the queue, NULL if empty
+    - The ``message`` pointer will only be non-NULL if ``event_type``
+      is ``MESSAGE_RECEIVED``
+
+- ``void destroy_pcep_event(struct pcep_event *event);``
+    - Free the PCEP Event resources, including the PCEP message if present
+
+
+PCEPlib Counters
+----------------
+
+The PCEPlib counters are managed in the ``pcep_session_logic`` library, and can
+be accessed in the ``pcep_session_counters`` field of the ``pcep_session`` structure.
+There are 2 API functions to manage the counters:
+
+- ``void dump_pcep_session_counters(pcep_session *session);``
+    - Dump all of the counters to the logs
+
+- ``void reset_pcep_session_counters(pcep_session *session);``

+
+Process Architecture
+====================
+
+FRR is a suite of daemons that serve different functions. This document
+describes internal architecture of daemons, focusing their general design
+patterns, and especially how threads are used in the daemons that use them.
+
+Overview
+--------
+The fundamental pattern used in FRR daemons is an `event loop
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_loop>`_. Some daemons use `kernel threads
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(computing)#Kernel_threads>`_. In these
+daemons, each kernel thread runs its own event loop. The event loop
+implementation is constructed to be thread safe and to allow threads other than
+its owning thread to schedule events on it. The rest of this document describes
+these two designs in detail.
+
+Terminology
+-----------
+Because this document describes the architecture for kernel threads as well as
+the event system, a digression on terminology is in order here.
+
+Historically Quagga's loop system was viewed as an implementation of userspace
+threading. Because of this design choice, the names for various datastructures
+within the event system are variations on the term "thread". The primary
+datastructure that holds the state of an event loop in this system is called a
+"threadmaster". Events scheduled on the event loop - what would today be called
+an 'event' or 'task' in systems such as libevent - are called "threads" and the
+datastructure for them is ``struct thread``. To add to the confusion, these
+"threads" have various types, one of which is "event". To hopefully avoid some
+of this confusion, this document refers to these "threads" as a 'task' except
+where the datastructures are explicitly named. When they are explicitly named,
+they will be formatted ``like this`` to differentiate from the conceptual
+names. When speaking of kernel threads, the term used will be "pthread" since
+FRR's kernel threading implementation uses the POSIX threads API.

+
+Event Architecture
+------------------
+This section presents a brief overview of the event model as currently
+implemented in FRR. This doc should be expanded and broken off into its own
+section. For now it provides basic information necessary to understand the
+interplay between the event system and kernel threads.
+
+The core event system is implemented in :file:`lib/thread.[ch]`. The primary
+structure is ``struct thread_master``, hereafter referred to as a
+``threadmaster``. A ``threadmaster`` is a global state object, or context, that
+holds all the tasks currently pending execution as well as statistics on tasks
+that have already executed. The event system is driven by adding tasks to this
+data structure and then calling a function to retrieve the next task to
+execute. At initialization, a daemon will typically create one
+``threadmaster``, add a small set of initial tasks, and then run a loop to
+fetch each task and execute it.
+
+These tasks have various types corresponding to their general action. The types
+are given by integer macros in :file:`thread.h` and are:
+
+``THREAD_READ``
+   Task which waits for a file descriptor to become ready for reading and then
+   executes.
+
+``THREAD_WRITE``
+   Task which waits for a file descriptor to become ready for writing and then
+   executes.
+
+``THREAD_TIMER``
+   Task which executes after a certain amount of time has passed since it was
+   scheduled.
+
+``THREAD_EVENT``
+   Generic task that executes with high priority and carries an arbitrary
+   integer indicating the event type to its handler. These are commonly used to
+   implement the finite state machines typically found in routing protocols.
+
+``THREAD_READY``
+   Type used internally for tasks on the ready queue.
+
+``THREAD_UNUSED``
+   Type used internally for ``struct thread`` objects that aren't being used.
+   The event system pools ``struct thread`` to avoid heap allocations; this is
+   the type they have when they're in the pool.
+
+``THREAD_EXECUTE``
+   Just before a task is run its type is changed to this. This is used to show
+   ``X`` as the type in the output of :clicmd:`show thread cpu`.
+
+The programmer never has to work with these types explicitly. Each type of task
+is created and queued via special-purpose functions (actually macros, but
+irrelevant for the time being) for the specific type. For example, to add a
+``THREAD_READ`` task, you would call
+
+::
+
+   thread_add_read(struct thread_master *master, int (*handler)(struct thread *), void *arg, int fd, struct thread **ref);
+
+The ``struct thread`` is then created and added to the appropriate internal
+datastructure within the ``threadmaster``. Note that the ``READ`` and
+``WRITE`` tasks are independent - a ``READ`` task only tests for
+readability, for example.
+
+The Event Loop
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To use the event system, after creating a ``threadmaster`` the program adds an
+initial set of tasks. As these tasks execute, they add more tasks that execute
+at some point in the future. This sequence of tasks drives the lifecycle of the
+program. When no more tasks are available, the program dies. Typically at
+startup the first task added is an I/O task for VTYSH as well as any network
+sockets needed for peerings or IPC.
+
+To retrieve the next task to run the program calls ``thread_fetch()``.
+``thread_fetch()`` internally computes which task to execute next based on
+rudimentary priority logic. Events (type ``THREAD_EVENT``) execute with the
+highest priority, followed by expired timers and finally I/O tasks (type
+``THREAD_READ`` and ``THREAD_WRITE``). When scheduling a task a function and an
+arbitrary argument are provided. The task returned from ``thread_fetch()`` is
+then executed with ``thread_call()``.
+
+The following diagram illustrates a simplified version of this infrastructure.
+
+.. todo: replace these with SVG
+.. figure:: ../figures/threadmaster-single.png
+   :align: center
+
+   Lifecycle of a program using a single threadmaster.
+
+The series of "task" boxes represents the current ready task queue. The various
+other queues for other types are not shown. The fetch-execute loop is
+illustrated at the bottom.
+
+Mapping the general names used in the figure to specific FRR functions:
+
+- ``task`` is ``struct thread *``
+- ``fetch`` is ``thread_fetch()``
+- ``exec()`` is ``thread_call``
+- ``cancel()`` is ``thread_cancel()``
+- ``schedule()`` is any of the various task-specific ``thread_add_*`` functions
+
+Adding tasks is done with various task-specific function-like macros. These
+macros wrap underlying functions in :file:`thread.c` to provide additional
+information added at compile time, such as the line number the task was
+scheduled from, that can be accessed at runtime for debugging, logging and
+informational purposes. Each task type has its own specific scheduling function
+that follow the naming convention ``thread_add_<type>``; see :file:`thread.h`
+for details.
+
+There are some gotchas to keep in mind:
+
+- I/O tasks are keyed off the file descriptor associated with the I/O
+  operation. This means that for any given file descriptor, only one of each
+  type of I/O task (``THREAD_READ`` and ``THREAD_WRITE``) can be scheduled. For
+  example, scheduling two write tasks one after the other will overwrite the
+  first task with the second, resulting in total loss of the first task and
+  difficult bugs.
+
+- Timer tasks are only as accurate as the monotonic clock provided by the
+  underlying operating system.
+
+- Memory management of the arbitrary handler argument passed in the schedule
+  call is the responsibility of the caller.
+
+
+Kernel Thread Architecture
+--------------------------
+Efforts have begun to introduce kernel threads into FRR to improve performance
+and stability. Naturally a kernel thread architecture has long been seen as
+orthogonal to an event-driven architecture, and the two do have significant
+overlap in terms of design choices. Since the event model is tightly integrated
+into FRR, careful thought has been put into how pthreads are introduced, what
+role they fill, and how they will interoperate with the event model.
+
+Design Overview
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Each kernel thread behaves as a lightweight process within FRR, sharing the
+same process memory space. On the other hand, the event system is designed to
+run in a single process and drive serial execution of a set of tasks. With this
+consideration, a natural choice is to implement the event system within each
+kernel thread. This allows us to leverage the event-driven execution model with
+the currently existing task and context primitives. In this way the familiar
+execution model of FRR gains the ability to execute tasks simultaneously while
+preserving the existing model for concurrency.
+
+The following figure illustrates the architecture with multiple pthreads, each
+running their own ``threadmaster``-based event loop.
+
+.. todo: replace these with SVG
+.. figure:: ../figures/threadmaster-multiple.png
+   :align: center
+
+   Lifecycle of a program using multiple pthreads, each running their own
+   ``threadmaster``
+
+Each roundrect represents a single pthread running the same event loop
+described under :ref:`event-architecture`. Note the arrow from the ``exec()``
+box on the right to the ``schedule()`` box in the middle pthread. This
+illustrates code running in one pthread scheduling a task onto another
+pthread's threadmaster. A global lock for each ``threadmaster`` is used to
+synchronize these operations. The pthread names are examples.
+
+
+.. This should be broken into its document under :ref:`libfrr`
+.. _kernel-thread-wrapper:
+
+Kernel Thread Wrapper
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The basis for the integration of pthreads and the event system is a lightweight
+wrapper for both systems implemented in :file:`lib/frr_pthread.[ch]`. The
+header provides a core datastructure, ``struct frr_pthread``, that encapsulates
+structures from both POSIX threads and :file:`thread.[ch]`. In particular, this
+datastructure has a pointer to a ``threadmaster`` that runs within the pthread.
+It also has fields for a name as well as start and stop functions that have
+signatures similar to the POSIX arguments for ``pthread_create()``.
+
+Calling ``frr_pthread_new()`` creates and registers a new ``frr_pthread``. The
+returned structure has a pre-initialized ``threadmaster``, and its ``start``
+and ``stop`` functions are initialized to defaults that will run a basic event
+loop with the given threadmaster. Calling ``frr_pthread_run`` starts the thread
+with the ``start`` function. From there, the model is the same as the regular
+event model. To schedule tasks on a particular pthread, simply use the regular
+:file:`thread.c` functions as usual and provide the ``threadmaster`` pointed to
+from the ``frr_pthread``. As part of implementing the wrapper, the
+:file:`thread.c` functions were made thread-safe. Consequently, it is safe to
+schedule events on a ``threadmaster`` belonging both to the calling thread as
+well as *any other pthread*. This serves as the basis for inter-thread
+communication and boils down to a slightly more complicated method of message
+passing, where the messages are the regular task events as used in the
+event-driven model. The only difference is thread cancellation, which requires
+calling ``thread_cancel_async()`` instead of ``thread_cancel`` to cancel a task
+currently scheduled on a ``threadmaster`` belonging to a different pthread.
+This is necessary to avoid race conditions in the specific case where one
+pthread wants to guarantee that a task on another pthread is cancelled before
+proceeding.
+
+In addition, the existing commands to show statistics and other information for
+tasks within the event driven model have been expanded to handle multiple
+pthreads; running :clicmd:`show thread cpu` will display the usual event
+breakdown, but it will do so for each pthread running in the program. For
+example, :ref:`bgpd` runs a dedicated I/O pthread and shows the following
+output for :clicmd:`show thread cpu`:
+
+::
+
+   frr# show thread cpu
+
+   Thread statistics for bgpd:

+
+Attentive readers will notice that there is a third thread, the Keepalives
+thread. This thread is responsible for -- surprise -- generating keepalives for
+peers. However, there are no statistics showing for that thread. Although the
+pthread uses the ``frr_pthread`` wrapper, it opts not to use the embedded
+``threadmaster`` facilities. Instead it replaces the ``start`` and ``stop``
+functions with custom functions. This was done because the ``threadmaster``
+facilities introduce a small but significant amount of overhead relative to the
+pthread's task. In this case since the pthread does not need the event-driven
+model and does not need to receive tasks from other pthreads, it is simpler and
+more efficient to implement it outside of the provided event facilities.  The
+point to take away from this example is that while the facilities to make using
+pthreads within FRR easy are already implemented, the wrapper is flexible and
+allows usage of other models while still integrating with the rest of the FRR
+core infrastructure. Starting and stopping this pthread works the same as it
+does for any other ``frr_pthread``; the only difference is that event
+statistics are not collected for it, because there are no events.
+
+Notes on Design and Documentation
+---------------------------------
+Because of the choice to embed the existing event system into each pthread
+within FRR, at this time there is not integrated support for other models of
+pthread use such as divide and conquer. Similarly, there is no explicit support
+for thread pooling or similar higher level constructs. The currently existing
+infrastructure is designed around the concept of long-running worker threads
+responsible for specific jobs within each daemon. This is not to say that
+divide and conquer, thread pooling, etc. could not be implemented in the
+future. However, designs in this direction must be very careful to take into
+account the existing codebase. Introducing kernel threads into programs that
+have been written under the assumption of a single thread of execution must be
+done very carefully to avoid insidious errors and to ensure the program remains
+understandable and maintainable.
+
+In keeping with these goals, future work on kernel threading should be
+extensively documented here and FRR developers should be very careful with
+their design choices, as poor choices tightly integrated can prove to be
+catastrophic for development efforts in the future.

+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+RCU (Read-Copy-Update) is, fundamentally, a paradigm of multithreaded
+operation (and not a set of APIs.)  The core ideas are:
+
+* longer, complicated updates to structures are made only on private,
+  "invisible" copies.  Other threads, when they access the structure, see an
+  older (but consistent) copy.
+
+* once done, the updated copy is swapped in a single operation so that
+  other threads see either the old or the new data but no inconsistent state
+  between.
+
+* the old instance is only released after making sure that it is impossible
+  any other thread might still be reading it.
+
+For more information, please search for general or Linux kernel RCU
+documentation; there is no way this doc can be comprehensive in explaining the
+interactions:
+
+* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-copy-update
+* https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kernel-hacking/locking.html#avoiding-locks-read-copy-update
+* https://lwn.net/Articles/262464/
+* http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/rclock_OLS.2001.05.01c.pdf
+* http://lse.sourceforge.net/locking/rcupdate.html
+
+RCU, the TL;DR
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+#. data structures are always consistent for reading.  That's the "R" part.
+#. reading never blocks / takes a lock.
+#. rcu_read_lock is not a lock in the traditional sense.  Think of it as a
+   "reservation";  it notes what the *oldest* possible thing the thread might
+   be seeing is, and which thus can't be deleted yet.
+#. you create some object, finish it up, and then publish it.
+#. publishing is an ``atomic_*`` call with ``memory_order_release``, which
+   tells the compiler to make sure prior memory writes have completed before
+   doing the atomic op.
+#. ``ATOMLIST_*`` ``add`` operations do the ``memory_order_release`` for you.
+#. you can't touch the object after it is published, except with atomic ops.
+#. because you can't touch it, if you want to change it you make a new copy,
+   work on that, and then publish the new copy.  That's the "CU" part.
+#. deleting the object is also an atomic op.
+#. other threads that started working before you published / deleted an object
+   might not see the new object / still see the deleted object.
+#. because other threads may still see deleted objects, the ``free()`` needs
+   to be delayed.  That's what :c:func:`rcu_free()` is for.
+
+
+When (not) to use RCU
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+RCU is designed for read-heavy workloads where objects are updated relatively
+rarely, but frequently accessed.  Do *not* indiscriminately replace locking by
+RCU patterns.
+
+The "copy" part of RCU implies that, while updating, several copies of a given
+object exist in parallel.  Even after the updated copy is swapped in, the old
+object remains queued for freeing until all other threads are guaranteed to
+not be accessing it anymore, due to passing a sequence point.  In addition to
+the increased memory usage, there may be some bursted (due to batching) malloc
+contention when the RCU cleanup thread does its thing and frees memory.
+
+Other useful patterns
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In addition to the full "copy object, apply changes, atomically update"
+approach, there are 2 "reduced" usage cases that can be done:
+
+* atomically updating single pieces of a particular object, e.g. some flags
+  or configuration piece
+
+* straight up read-only / immutable objects
+
+Both of these cases can be considered RCU "subsets".  For example, when
+maintaining an atomic list of items, but these items only have a single
+integer value that needs to be updated, that value can be atomically updated
+without copying the entire object.  However, the object still needs to be
+free'd through :c:func:`rcu_free()` since reading/updating and deleting might
+be happening concurrently.  The same applies for immutable objects;  deletion
+might still race with reading so they need to be free'd through RCU.
+
+FRR API
+-------
+
+Before diving into detail on the provided functions, it is important to note
+that the FRR RCU API covers the **cleanup part of RCU, not the read-copy-update
+paradigm itself**.  These parts are handled by standard C11 atomic operations,
+and by extension through the atomic data structures (ATOMLIST, ATOMSORT & co.)
+
+The ``rcu_*`` functions only make sense in conjunction with these RCU access
+patterns.  If you're calling the RCU API but not using these, something is
+wrong.  The other way around is not necessarily true;  it is possible to use
+atomic ops & datastructures with other types of locking, e.g. rwlocks.
+
+.. c:function:: void rcu_read_lock()
+.. c:function:: void rcu_read_unlock()
+
+   These functions acquire / release the RCU read-side lock.  All access to
+   RCU-guarded data must be inside a block guarded by these.  Any number of
+   threads may hold the RCU read-side lock at a given point in time, including
+   both no threads at all and all threads.
+
+   The functions implement a depth counter, i.e. can be nested.  The nested
+   calls are cheap, since they only increment/decrement the counter.
+   Therefore, any place that uses RCU data and doesn't have a guarantee that
+   the caller holds RCU (e.g. ``lib/`` code) should just have its own
+   rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock pair.
+
+   At the "root" level (e.g. un-nested), these calls can incur the cost of one
+   syscall (to ``futex()``).  That puts them on about the same cost as a
+   mutex lock/unlock.
+
+   The ``thread_master`` code currently always holds RCU everywhere, except
+   while doing the actual ``poll()`` syscall.  This is both an optimization as
+   well as an "easement" into getting RCU going.  The current implementation
+   contract is that any ``struct thread *`` callback is called with a RCU
+   holding depth of 1, and that this is owned by the thread so it may (should)
+   drop and reacquire it when doing some longer-running work.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      The RCU read-side lock must be held **continuously** for the entire time
+      any piece of RCU data is used.  This includes any access to RCU data
+      after the initial ``atomic_load``.  If the RCU read-side lock is
+      released, any RCU-protected pointers as well as the data they refer to
+      become invalid, as another thread may have called :c:func:`rcu_free` on
+      them.
+
+.. c:struct:: rcu_head
+.. c:struct:: rcu_head_close
+.. c:struct:: rcu_action
+
+   The ``rcu_head`` structures are small (16-byte) bits that contain the
+   queueing machinery for the RCU sweeper/cleanup mechanisms.
+
+   Any piece of data that is cleaned up by RCU needs to have a matching
+   ``rcu_head`` embedded in it.  If there is more than one cleanup operation
+   to be done (e.g. closing a file descriptor), more than one ``rcu_head`` may
+   be embedded.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      It is not possible to reuse a ``rcu_head``.  It is owned by the RCU code
+      as soon as ``rcu_*`` is called on it.
+
+   The ``_close`` variant carries an extra ``int fd`` field to store the fd to
+   be closed.
+
+   To minimize the amount of memory used for ``rcu_head``, details about the
+   RCU operation to be performed are moved into the ``rcu_action`` structure.
+   It contains e.g. the MTYPE for :c:func:`rcu_free` calls.  The pointer to be
+   freed is stored as an offset relative to the ``rcu_head``, which means it
+   must be embedded as a struct field so the offset is constant.
+
+   The ``rcu_action`` structure is an implementation detail.  Using
+   ``rcu_free`` or ``rcu_close`` will set it up correctly without further
+   code needed.
+
+   The ``rcu_head`` may be put in an union with other data if the other data
+   is only used during "life" of the data, since the ``rcu_head`` is used only
+   for the "death" of data.  But note that other threads may still be reading
+   a piece of data while a thread is working to free it.
+
+.. c:function:: void rcu_free(struct memtype *mtype, struct X *ptr, field)
+
+   Free a block of memory after RCU has ensured no other thread can be
+   accessing it anymore.  The pointer remains valid for any other thread that
+   has called :c:func:`rcu_read_lock` before the ``rcu_free`` call.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      In some other RCU implementations, the pointer remains valid to the
+      *calling* thread if it is holding the RCU read-side lock.  This is not
+      the case in FRR, particularly when running single-threaded.  Enforcing
+      this rule also allows static analysis to find use-after-free issues.
+
+   ``mtype`` is the libfrr ``MTYPE_FOO`` allocation type to pass to
+   :c:func:`XFREE`.
+
+   ``field`` must be the name of a ``struct rcu_head`` member field in ``ptr``.
+   The offset of this field (which must be constant) is used to reduce the
+   memory size of ``struct rcu_head``.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      ``rcu_free`` (and ``rcu_close``) calls are more efficient if they are
+      put close to each other.  When freeing several RCU'd resources, try to
+      move the calls next to each other (even if the data structures do not
+      directly point to each other.)
+
+      Having the calls bundled reduces the cost of adding the ``rcu_head`` to
+      the RCU queue;  the RCU queue is an atomic data structure whose usage
+      will require the CPU to acquire an exclusive hold on relevant cache
+      lines.
+
+.. c:function:: void rcu_close(struct rcu_head_close *head, int fd)
+
+   Close a file descriptor after ensuring no other thread might be using it
+   anymore.  Same as :c:func:`rcu_free`, except it calls ``close`` instead of
+   ``free``.
+
+Internals
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. c:struct:: rcu_thread
+
+   Per-thread state maintained by the RCU code, set up by the following
+   functions.  A pointer to a thread's own ``rcu_thread`` is saved in
+   thread-local storage.
+
+.. c:function:: struct rcu_thread *rcu_thread_prepare(void)
+.. c:function:: void rcu_thread_unprepare(struct rcu_thread *rcu_thread)
+.. c:function:: void rcu_thread_start(struct rcu_thread *rcu_thread)
+
+   Since the RCU code needs to have a list of all active threads, these
+   functions are used by the ``frr_pthread`` code to set up threads.  Teardown
+   is automatic.  It should not be necessary to call these functions.
+
+   Any thread that accesses RCU-protected data needs to be registered with
+   these functions.  Threads that do not access RCU-protected data may call
+   these functions but do not need to.
+
+   Note that passing a pointer to RCU-protected data to some library which
+   accesses that pointer makes the library "access RCU-protected data".  In
+   that case, either all of the library's threads must be registered for RCU,
+   or the code must instead pass a (non-RCU) copy of the data to the library.
+
+.. c:function:: void rcu_shutdown(void)
+
+   Stop the RCU sweeper thread and make sure all cleanup has finished.
+
+   This function is called on daemon exit by the libfrr code to ensure pending
+   RCU operations are completed.  This is mostly to get a clean exit without
+   memory leaks from queued RCU operations.  It should not be necessary to
+   call this function as libfrr handles this.
+
+FRR specifics and implementation details
+----------------------------------------
+
+The FRR RCU infrastructure has the following characteristics:
+
+* it is Epoch-based with a 32-bit wrapping counter.  (This is somewhat
+  different from other Epoch-based approaches which may be designed to only
+  use 3 counter values, but works out to a simple implementation.)
+
+* instead of tracking CPUs as the Linux kernel does, threads are tracked.  This
+  has exactly zero semantic impact, RCU just cares about "threads of
+  execution", which the kernel can optimize to CPUs but we can't.  But it
+  really boils down to the same thing.
+
+* there are no ``rcu_dereference`` and ``rcu_assign_pointer`` - use
+  ``atomic_load`` and ``atomic_store`` instead.  (These didn't exist when the
+  Linux RCU code was created.)
+
+* there is no ``synchronize_rcu``; this is a design choice but may be revisited
+  at a later point.  ``synchronize_rcu`` blocks a thread until it is guaranteed
+  that no other threads might still be accessing data structures that they may
+  have access to at the beginning of the function call.  This is a blocking
+  design and probably not appropriate for FRR.  Instead, ``rcu_call`` can be
+  used to have the RCU sweeper thread make a callback after the same constraint
+  is fulfilled in an asynchronous way.  Most needs should be covered by
+  ``rcu_free`` and ``rcu_close``.

+Scripting
+=========
+
+.. seealso:: User docs for scripting
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+FRR has the ability to call Lua scripts to perform calculations, make
+decisions, or otherwise extend builtin behavior with arbitrary user code. This
+is implemented using the standard Lua C bindings. The supported version of Lua
+is 5.3.
+
+C objects may be passed into Lua and Lua objects may be retrieved by C code via
+a encoding/decoding system. In this way, arbitrary data from FRR may be passed to
+scripts.
+
+The Lua environment is isolated from the C environment; user scripts cannot
+access FRR's address space unless explicitly allowed by FRR.
+
+For general information on how Lua is used to extend C, refer to Part IV of
+"Programming in Lua".
+
+https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html#24
+
+
+Design
+------
+
+Why Lua
+^^^^^^^
+
+Lua is designed to be embedded in C applications. It is very small; the
+standard library is 220K. It is relatively fast. It has a simple, minimal
+syntax that is relatively easy to learn and can be understood by someone with
+little to no programming experience. Moreover it is widely used to add
+scripting capabilities to applications. In short it is designed for this task.
+
+Reasons against supporting multiple scripting languages:
+
+- Each language would require different FFI methods, and specifically
+  different object encoders; a lot of code
+- Languages have different capabilities that would have to be brought to
+  parity with each other; a lot of work
+- Languages have vastly different performance characteristics; this would
+  create alot of basically unfixable issues, and result in a single de facto
+  standard scripting language (the fastest)
+- Each language would need a dedicated maintainer for the above reasons;
+  this is pragmatically difficult
+- Supporting multiple languages fractures the community and limits the audience
+  with which a given script can be shared
+
+General
+-------
+
+FRR's scripting functionality is provided in the form of Lua functions in Lua
+scripts (``.lua`` files). One Lua script may contain many Lua functions. These
+are respectively encapsulated in the following structures:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct frrscript {
+       /* Lua file name */
+       char *name;
+
+       /* hash of lua_function_states */
+       struct hash *lua_function_hash;
+   };
+
+   struct lua_function_state {
+       /* Lua function name */
+       char *name;
+
+       lua_State *L;
+   };
+
+
+`struct frrscript`: Since all Lua functions are contained within scripts, the
+following APIs manipulates this structure. ``name`` contains the
+Lua script name and a hash of Lua functions to their function names.
+
+`struct lua_function_state` is an internal structure, but it essentially contains
+the name of the Lua function and its state (a stack), which is run using Lua
+library functions.
+
+In general, to run a Lua function, these steps must take place:
+
+- Initialization
+- Load
+- Call
+- Delete
+
+Initialization
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``frrscript`` object encapsulates the Lua function state(s) from
+one Lua script file. To create, use ``frrscript_new()`` which takes the
+name of the Lua script.
+The string ".lua" is appended to the script name, and the resultant filename
+will be used to look for the script when we want to load a Lua function from it.
+
+For example, to create ``frrscript`` for ``/etc/frr/scripts/bingus.lua``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct frrscript *fs = frrscript_new("bingus");
+
+
+The script is *not* read at this stage.
+This function cannot be used to test for a script's presence.
+
+Load
+^^^^
+
+The function to be called must first be loaded. Use ``frrscript_load()``
+which takes a ``frrscript`` object, the name of the Lua function
+and a callback function.
+The script file will be read to load and compile the function.
+
+For example, to load the Lua function ``on_foo``
+in ``/etc/frr/scripts/bingus.lua``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int ret = frrscript_load(fs, "on_foo", NULL);
+
+
+This function returns 0 if and only if the Lua function was successfully loaded.
+A non-zero return could indicate either a missing Lua script, a missing
+Lua function, or an error when loading the function.
+
+During loading the script is validated for syntax and its environment
+is set up. By default this does not include the Lua standard library; there are
+security issues to consider, though for practical purposes untrusted users
+should not be able to write the scripts directory anyway.
+
+Call
+^^^^
+
+After loading, a Lua function can be called any number of times.
+
+Input
+"""""
+
+Inputs to the Lua script should be given by providing a list of parenthesized
+pairs,
+where the first and second field identify the name of the variable and the
+value it is bound to, respectively.
+The types of the values must have registered encoders (more below); the compiler
+will warn you otherwise.
+
+These variables are first encoded in-order, then provided as arguments
+to the Lua function. In the example, note that ``c`` is passed in as a value
+while ``a`` and ``b`` are passed in as pointers.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int a = 100, b = 200, c = 300;
+   frrscript_call(fs, "on_foo", ("a", &a), ("b", &b), ("c", c));
+
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+   function on_foo(a, b, c)
+     -- a is 100, b is 200, c is 300
+     ...
+
+
+Output
+""""""
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int a = 100, b = 200, c = 300;
+   frrscript_call(fs, "on_foo", ("a", &a), ("b", &b), ("c", c));
+   // a is 500, b is 200, c is 300
+
+   int* d = frrscript_get_result(fs, "on_foo", "d", lua_tointegerp);
+   // d is 800
+
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+   function on_foo(a, b, c)
+     b = 600
+     return { ["a"] = 500, ["c"] = 700, ["d"] = 800 }
+   end
+
+
+**Lua functions being called must return a single table of string names to
+values.**
+(Lua functions should return an empty table if there is no output.)
+The keys of the table are mapped back to names of variables in C. Note that
+the values in the table can also be tables. Since tables are Lua's primary
+data structure, this design lets us return any Lua value.
+
+After the Lua function returns, the names of variables  to ``frrscript_call()``
+are matched against keys of the returned table, and then decoded. The types
+being decoded must have registered decoders (more below); the compiler will
+warn you otherwise.
+
+In the example, since ``a`` was in the returned table and ``b`` was not,
+``a`` was decoded and its value modified, while ``b`` was not decoded.
+``c`` was decoded as well, but its decoder is a noop.
+What modifications happen given a variable depends whether its name was
+in the returned table and the decoder's implementation.
+
+.. warning::
+   Always keep in mind that non const-qualified pointers in
+   ``frrscript_call()`` may be modified - this may be a source of bugs.
+   On the other hand, const-qualified pointers and other values cannot
+   be modified.
+
+
+.. tip::
+   You can make a copy of a data structure and pass that in instead,
+   so that modifications only happen to that copy.
+
+``frrscript_call()`` returns 0 if and only if the Lua function was successfully
+called. A non-zero return could indicate either a missing Lua script, a missing
+Lua function, or an error from the Lua interpreter.
+
+In the above example, ``d`` was not an input to ``frrscript_call()``, so its
+value must be explicitly retrieved with ``frrscript_get_result``.
+
+``frrscript_get_result()`` takes a
+decoder and string name which is used as a key to search the returned table.
+Returns the pointer to the decoded value, or NULL if it was not found.
+In the example, ``d`` is a "new" value in C space,
+so memory allocation might take place. Hence the caller is
+responsible for memory deallocation.
+
+``frrscript_call()`` may be called multiple times without re-loading with
+``frrscript_load()``. Results are not preserved between consecutive calls.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   frrscript_load(fs, "on_foo");
+
+   frrscript_call(fs, "on_foo");
+   frrscript_get_result(fs, "on_foo", ...);
+   frrscript_call(fs, "on_foo");
+   frrscript_get_result(fs, "on_foo", ...);
+
+
+Delete
+^^^^^^
+
+To delete a script and the all Lua states associated with it:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   frrscript_delete(fs);
+
+
+A complete example
+""""""""""""""""""
+
+So, a typical execution call, with error checking, looks something like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct frrscript *fs = frrscript_new("my_script"); // name *without* .lua
+
+   int ret = frrscript_load(fs, "on_foo", NULL);
+   if (ret != 0)
+       goto DONE; // Lua script or function might have not been found
+
+   int a = 100, b = 200, c = 300;
+   ret = frrscript_call(fs, "on_foo", ("a", &a), ("b", &b), ("c", c));
+   if (ret != 0)
+       goto DONE; // Lua function might have not successfully run
+
+   // a and b might be modified
+   assert(a == 500);
+   assert(b == 200);
+
+   // c could not have been modified
+   assert(c == 300);
+
+   // d is new
+   int* d = frrscript_get_result(fs, "on_foo", "d", lua_tointegerp);
+
+   if (!d)
+       goto DONE; // "d" might not have been in returned table
+
+   assert(*d == 800);
+   XFREE(MTYPE_SCRIPT_RES, d); // caller responsible for free
+
+   DONE:
+   frrscript_delete(fs);
+
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+   function on_foo(a, b, c)
+     b = 600
+     return { a = 500, c = 700, d = 800 }
+   end
+
+
+Note that ``{ a = ...`` is same as ``{ ["a"] = ...``; it is Lua shorthand to
+use the variable name as the key in a table.
+
+Encoding and Decoding
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Earlier sections glossed over the types of values that can be passed into
+``frrscript_call()`` and how data is passed between C and Lua. Lua, as a
+dynamically typed, garbage collected language, cannot directly use C values
+without some kind of encoding / decoding system to
+translate types between the two runtimes.
+
+Lua communicates with C code using a stack. C code wishing to provide data to
+Lua scripts must provide a function that encodes the C data into a Lua
+representation and pushes it on the stack. C code wishing to retrieve data from
+Lua must provide a corresponding decoder function that retrieves a Lua
+value from the stack and converts it to the corresponding C type.
+
+Encoders and decoders are provided for common data types.
+Developers wishing to pass their own data structures between C and Lua need to
+create encoders and decoders for that data type.
+
+We try to keep them named consistently.
+There are three kinds of encoders and decoders:
+
+1. lua_push*: encodes a value onto the Lua stack.
+   Required for ``frrscript_call``.
+
+2. lua_decode*: decodes a value from the Lua stack.
+   Required for ``frrscript_call``.
+   Only non const-qualified pointers may be actually decoded (more below).
+
+3. lua_to*: allocates memory and decodes a value from the Lua stack.
+   Required for ``frrscript_get_result``.
+
+This design allows us to combine typesafe *modification* of C values as well as
+*allocation* of new C values.
+
+In the following sections, we will use the encoders/decoders for ``struct prefix`` as an example.
+
+Encoding
+""""""""
+
+An encoder function takes a ``lua_State *``, a C type and pushes that value onto
+the Lua state (a stack).
+For C structs, the usual case,
+this will typically be encoded to a Lua table, then pushed onto the Lua stack.
+
+Here is the encoder function for ``struct prefix``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   void lua_pushprefix(lua_State *L, struct prefix *prefix)
+   {
+           char buffer[PREFIX_STRLEN];
+
+           lua_newtable(L);
+           lua_pushstring(L, prefix2str(prefix, buffer, PREFIX_STRLEN));
+           lua_setfield(L, -2, "network");
+           lua_pushinteger(L, prefix->prefixlen);
+           lua_setfield(L, -2, "length");
+           lua_pushinteger(L, prefix->family);
+           lua_setfield(L, -2, "family");
+   }
+
+This function pushes a single value, a table, onto the Lua stack, whose
+equivalent in Lua is:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   { ["network"] = "1.2.3.4/24", ["prefixlen"] = 24, ["family"] = 2 }
+
+
+Decoding
+""""""""
+
+Decoders are a bit more involved. They do the reverse; a decoder function takes
+a ``lua_State *``, pops a value off the Lua stack and converts it back into its
+C type.
+
+There are two: ``lua_decode*`` and ``lua_to*``. The former does no mememory
+allocation and is needed for ``frrscript_call``.
+The latter performs allocation and is optional.
+
+A ``lua_decode_*`` function takes a ``lua_State*``, an index, and a pointer
+to a C data structure, and directly modifies the structure with values from the
+Lua stack. Note that only non const-qualified pointers may be modified;
+``lua_decode_*`` for other types will be noops.
+
+Again, for ``struct prefix *``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   void lua_decode_prefix(lua_State *L, int idx, struct prefix *prefix)
+   {
+        lua_getfield(L, idx, "network");
+        (void)str2prefix(lua_tostring(L, -1), prefix);
+        /* pop the network string */
+        lua_pop(L, 1);
+        /* pop the prefix table */
+        lua_pop(L, 1);
+   }
+
+
+Note:
+ - Before ``lua_decode*`` is run, the "prefix" table is already on the top of
+   the stack. ``frrscript_call`` does this for us.
+ - However, at the end of ``lua_decode*``, the "prefix" table should be popped.
+ - The other two fields in the "network" table are disregarded, meaning that any
+   modification to them is discarded in C space. In this case, this is desired
+   behavior.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   ``lua_decode*`` functions should pop all values that ``lua_to*`` pushed onto
+   the Lua stack.
+   For encoders that pushed a table, its decoder should pop the table at the end.
+   The above is an example.
+
+
+
+``int`` is not a non const-qualified pointer, so for ``int``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   void lua_decode_int_noop(lua_State *L, int idx, int i)
+   { //noop
+   }
+
+
+A ``lua_to*`` function provides identical functionality except that it first
+allocates memory for the new C type before decoding the value from the Lua stack,
+then returns a pointer to the newly allocated C type. You only need to implement
+this function to use with ``frrscript_get_result`` to retrieve a result of
+this type.
+
+This function can and should be implemented using ``lua_decode_*``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   void *lua_toprefix(lua_State *L, int idx)
+   {
+           struct prefix *p = XCALLOC(MTYPE_SCRIPT_RES, sizeof(struct prefix));
+
+           lua_decode_prefix(L, idx, p);
+           return p;
+   }
+
+
+The returned data must always be copied off the stack and the copy must be
+allocated with ``MTYPE_SCRIPT_RES``. This way it is possible to unload the script
+(destroy the state) without invalidating any references to values stored in it.
+Note that it is the caller's responsibility to free the data.
+
+
+Registering encoders and decoders for frrscript_call
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+To register a new type with its ``lua_push*`` and ``lua_decode*`` functions,
+add the mapping in the following macros in ``frrscript.h``:
+
+.. code-block:: diff
+
+     #define ENCODE_ARGS_WITH_STATE(L, value) \
+          _Generic((value), \
+          ...
+   - struct peer * : lua_pushpeer \
+   + struct peer * : lua_pushpeer, \
+   + struct prefix * : lua_pushprefix \
+     )((L), (value))
+
+     #define DECODE_ARGS_WITH_STATE(L, value) \
+          _Generic((value), \
+          ...
+   - struct peer * : lua_decode_peer \
+   + struct peer * : lua_decode_peer, \
+   + struct prefix * : lua_decode_prefix \
+     )((L), -1, (value))
+
+
+At compile time, the compiler will search for encoders/decoders for the type of
+each value passed in via ``frrscript_call``. If a encoder/decoder cannot be
+found, it will appear as a compile warning. Note that the types must
+match *exactly*.
+In the above example, we defined encoders/decoders for a value of
+``struct prefix *``, but not ``struct prefix`` or ``const struct prefix *``.
+
+``const`` values are a special case. We want to use them in our Lua scripts
+but not modify them, so creating a decoder for them would be meaningless.
+But we still need a decoder for the type of value so that the compiler will be
+satisfied.
+For that, use ``lua_decode_noop``:
+
+.. code-block:: diff
+
+     #define DECODE_ARGS_WITH_STATE(L, value) \
+          _Generic((value), \
+          ...
+   + const struct prefix * : lua_decode_noop \
+     )(L, -1, value)
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   Encodable/decodable types are not restricted to simple values like integers,
+   strings and tables.
+   It is possible to encode a type such that the resultant object in Lua
+   is an actual object-oriented object, complete with methods that call
+   back into defined C functions. See the Lua manual for how to do this;
+   for a code example, look at how zlog is exported into the script environment.
+
+
+Script Environment
+------------------
+
+Logging
+^^^^^^^
+
+For convenience, script environments are populated by default with a ``log``
+object which contains methods corresponding to each of the ``zlog`` levels:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+   log.info("info")
+   log.warn("warn")
+   log.error("error")
+   log.notice("notice")
+   log.debug("debug")
+
+The log messages will show up in the daemon's log output.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+For a complete code example involving passing custom types, retrieving results,
+and doing complex calculations in Lua, look at the implementation of the
+``match script SCRIPT`` command for BGP routemaps. This example calls into a
+script with a function named ``route_match``,
+provides route prefix and attributes received from a peer and expects the
+function to return a match / no match / match and update result.
+
+An example script to use with this follows. This function matches, does not match
+or updates a route depending on how many BGP UPDATE messages the peer has
+received when the script is called, simply as a demonstration of what can be
+accomplished with scripting.
+
+.. code-block:: lua

+
+Static Linking
+==============
+
+This document describes how to build FRR without hard dependencies on shared
+libraries. Note that it's not possible to build FRR *completely* statically.
+This document just covers how to statically link the dependencies that aren't
+likely to be present on a given platform - libfrr and libyang. The resultant
+binaries should still be fairly portable. For example, here is the DSO
+dependency list for `bgpd` after using these steps:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   $ ldd bgpd
+        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe3a989000)
+        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f9dc10c0000)
+        libcap.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f9dc0eba000)
+        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f9dc0b1c000)
+        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9dc0918000)
+        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f9dc06e0000)
+        libjson-c.so.3 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjson-c.so.3 (0x00007f9dc04d5000)
+        librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f9dc02cd000)
+        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f9dc00ae000)
+        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f9dbfe96000)
+        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9dbfaa5000)
+        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9dc1449000)
+
+Procedure
+---------
+Note that these steps have only been tested with LLVM 9 / clang.
+
+Today, libfrr can already be statically linked by passing these configure
+options::
+
+   --enable-static --enable-static-bin --enable-shared
+
+libyang is more complicated. You must build and install libyang as a static
+library. To do this, follow the usual libyang build procedure as listed in the
+FRR developer docs, but set the ``ENABLE_STATIC`` option in your cmake
+invocation. You also need to build with PIC enabled, which today is disabled
+when building libyang statically.
+
+The resultant cmake command is::
+
+   cmake -DENABLE_STATIC=ON -DENABLE_LYD_PRIV=ON \
+         -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr \
+         -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=TRUE \
+         -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:String="Release" ..
+
+This produces a bunch of ``.a`` static archives that need to ultimately be linked
+into FRR. However, not only is it 6 archives rather than the usual ``libyang.so``,
+you will now also need to link FRR with ``libpcre.a``. Ubuntu's ``libpcre3-dev``
+package provides this, but it hasn't been built with PIC enabled, so it's not
+usable for our purposes. So download ``libpcre`` from
+`SourceForge <https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/>`_, and build it
+like this:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   ./configure --with-pic
+   make
+
+Hopefully you get a nice, usable, PIC ``libpcre.a``.
+
+So now we have to link all these static libraries into FRR. Rather than modify
+FRR to accommodate this, the best option is to create an archive with all of
+libyang's dependencies. Then to avoid making any changes to FRR build foo,
+rename this ``libyang.a`` and copy it over the usual static library location.
+Ugly but it works. To do this, go into your libyang build directory, which
+should have a bunch of ``.a`` files.  Copy ``libpcre.a`` into this directory.
+Write the following into a shell script and run it:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   #!/bin/bash
+   ar -M <<EOM
+     CREATE libyang_fat.a
+     ADDLIB libyang.a
+     ADDLIB libyangdata.a
+     ADDLIB libmetadata.a
+     ADDLIB libnacm.a
+     ADDLIB libuser_inet_types.a
+     ADDLIB libuser_yang_types.a
+     ADDLIB libpcre.a
+     SAVE
+     END
+   EOM
+   ranlib libyang_fat.a
+
+``libyang_fat.a`` is your archive. Now copy this over your install
+``libyang.a``, which on my machine is located at
+``/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libyang.a`` (try ``locate libyang.a`` if not).
+
+Now when you build FRR with the static options enabled as above, clang should
+pick up the static libyang and link it, leaving you with FRR binaries that have
+no hard DSO dependencies beyond common system libraries. To verify, run ``ldd``
+over the resultant binaries.

+
+Topotests with JSON
+===================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+On top of current topotests framework following enhancements are done:
+
+
+* Creating the topology and assigning IPs to router' interfaces dynamically.
+  It is achieved by using json file, in which user specify the number of
+  routers, links to each router, interfaces for the routers and protocol
+  configurations for all routers.
+
+* Creating the configurations dynamically. It is achieved by using
+  :file:`/usr/lib/frr/frr-reload.py` utility, which takes running configuration
+  and the newly created configuration for any particular router and creates a
+  delta file(diff file) and loads it to  router.
+
+
+Logging of test case executions
+-------------------------------
+
+* The execution log for each test is saved in the test specific directory create
+  under `/tmp/topotests` (e.g.,
+  `/tmp/topotests/<testdirname.testfilename>/exec.log`)
+
+* Additionally all test logs are captured in the `topotest.xml` results file.
+  This file will be saved in `/tmp/topotests/topotests.xml`. In order to extract
+  the logs for a particular test one can use the `analyze.py` utility found in
+  the topotests base directory.
+
+* Router's current configuration, as it is changed during the test, can be
+  displayed on console or sent to logs by adding ``show_router_config = True`` in
+  :file:`pytest.ini`.
+
+Note: directory "/tmp/topotests/" is created by topotests by default, making
+use of same directory to save execution logs.
+
+Guidelines
+----------
+
+Writing New Tests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This section will guide you in all recommended steps to produce a standard
+topology test.
+
+This is the recommended test writing routine:
+
+* Create a json file which will have routers and protocol configurations
+* Write and debug the tests
+* Format the new code using `black <https://github.com/psf/black>`_
+* Create a Pull Request
+
+.. Note::
+
+   BGP tests MUST use generous convergence timeouts - you must ensure that any
+   test involving BGP uses a convergence timeout that is proportional to the
+   configured BGP timers. If the timers are not reduced from their defaults this
+   means 130 seconds; however, it is highly recommended that timers be reduced
+   from the default values unless the test requires they not be.
+
+File Hierarchy
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Before starting to write any tests one must know the file hierarchy. The
+repository hierarchy looks like this:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ cd frr/tests/topotests
+   $ find ./*
+   ...
+   ./example_test/
+   ./example_test/test_template_json.json # input json file, having topology, interfaces, bgp and other configuration
+   ./example_test/test_template_json.py # test script to write and execute testcases
+   ...
+   ./lib # shared test/topology functions
+   ./lib/topojson.py # library to create topology and configurations dynamically from json file
+   ./lib/common_config.py # library to create protocol's common configurations ex- static_routes, prefix_lists, route_maps etc.
+   ./lib/bgp.py # library to create and test bgp configurations
+
+Defining the Topology and initial configuration in JSON file
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The first step to write a new test is to define the topology and initial
+configuration. User has to define topology and initial configuration in JSON
+file. Here is an example of JSON file::
+
+   BGP neighborship with single phy-link, sample JSON file:
+   {
+   "ipv4base": "192.168.0.0",
+   "ipv4mask": 30,
+   "ipv6base": "fd00::",
+   "ipv6mask": 64,
+   "link_ip_start": {"ipv4": "192.168.0.0", "v4mask": 30, "ipv6": "fd00::", "v6mask": 64},
+   "lo_prefix": {"ipv4": "1.0.", "v4mask": 32, "ipv6": "2001:DB8:F::", "v6mask": 128},

+JSON File Explained
+"""""""""""""""""""
+
+Mandatory keywords/options in JSON:
+
+* ``ipv4base`` : base ipv4 address to generate ips,  ex - 192.168.0.0
+* ``ipv4mask`` : mask for ipv4 address, ex - 30

+* ``r1`` : name of the router
+* ``lo`` : loopback interface dict, ipv4 and/or ipv6 addresses generated automatically
+* ``type`` : type of interface, to identify loopback interface
+* ``links`` : physical interfaces dict, ipv4 and/or ipv6 addresses generated
+  automatically
+* ``r2-link1`` : it will be used when routers have multiple links. 'r2' is router
+  name, 'link' is any logical name, '1' is to identify link number,
+  router name and link must be seperated by hyphen (``-``), ex- a0-peer1
+
+Optional keywords/options in JSON:
+
+* ``bgp`` : bgp configuration
+* ``local_as`` : Local AS number
+* ``unicast`` : All SAFI configuration
+* ``neighbor``: All neighbor details
+* ``dest_link`` : Destination link to which router will connect
+* ``router_id`` : bgp router-id

+
+Building topology and configurations
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Topology and initial configuration as well as teardown are invoked through the
+use of a pytest fixture::
+
+
+   from lib import fixtures
+
+   tgen = pytest.fixture(fixtures.tgen_json, scope="module")
+
+
+   # tgen is defined above
+   # topo is a fixture defined in ../conftest.py and automatically available
+   def test_bgp_convergence(tgen, topo):
+       bgp_convergence = bgp.verify_bgp_convergence(tgen, topo)
+       assert bgp_convergence
+
+The `fixtures.topo_json` function calls `topojson.setup_module_from_json()` to
+create and return a new `topogen.Topogen()` object using the JSON config file
+with the same base filename as the test (i.e., `test_file.py` ->
+`test_file.json`). Additionally, the fixture calls `tgen.stop_topology()` after
+all the tests have run to cleanup. The function is only invoked once per
+file/module (scope="module"), but the resulting object is passed to each
+function that has `tgen` as an argument.
+
+For more info on the powerful pytest fixtures feature please see `FIXTURES`_.
+
+.. _FIXTURES: https://docs.pytest.org/en/6.2.x/fixture.html
+
+Creating configuration files
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Router's configuration would be saved in config file frr_json.conf. Common
+configurations are like, static routes, prefixlists and route maps etc configs,
+these configs can be used by any other protocols as it is.
+BGP config will be specific to BGP protocol testing.
+
+* json file is passed to API Topogen() which saves the JSON object in
+  `self.json_topo`
+* The Topogen object is then passed to API build_config_from_json(), which looks
+  for configuration tags in new JSON object.
+* If tag is found in the JSON object, configuration is created as per input and
+  written to file frr_json.conf
+* Once JSON parsing is over, frr_json.conf is loaded onto respective router.
+  Config loading is done using 'vtysh -f <file>'. Initial config at this point
+  is also saved frr_json_initial.conf. This file can be used to reset
+  configuration on router, during the course of execution.
+* Reset of configuration is done using frr "reload.py" utility, which
+  calculates the difference between router's running config and user's config
+  and loads delta file to router. API used - reset_config_on_router()
+
+Writing Tests
+"""""""""""""
+
+Test topologies should always be bootstrapped from the
+`example_test/test_template_json.py` when possible in order to take advantage of
+the most recent infrastructure support code.
+
+Example:
+
+
+* Define a module scoped fixture to setup/teardown and supply the tests with the
+  `Topogen` object.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   import pytest
+   from lib import fixtures
+
+   tgen = pytest.fixture(fixtures.tgen_json, scope="module")
+
+
+* Define test functions using pytest fixtures
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   from lib import bgp
+
+   # tgen is defined above
+   # topo is a global available fixture defined in ../conftest.py
+   def test_bgp_convergence(tgen, topo):
+       "Test for BGP convergence."
+
+       # Don't run this test if we have any failure.
+       if tgen.routers_have_failure():
+           pytest.skip(tgen.errors)
+
+       bgp_convergence = bgp.verify_bgp_convergence(tgen, topo)
+       assert bgp_convergence

+
+Markers
+--------
+
+To allow for automated selective testing on large scale continuous integration
+systems, all tests must be marked with at least one of the following markers:
+
+* babeld
+* bfdd
+* bgpd
+* eigrpd
+* isisd
+* ldpd
+* nhrpd
+* ospf6d
+* ospfd
+* pathd
+* pbrd
+* pimd
+* ripd
+* ripngd
+* sharpd
+* staticd
+* vrrpd
+
+The markers corespond to the daemon subdirectories in FRR's source code and have
+to be added to tests on a module level depending on which daemons are used
+during the test.
+
+The goal is to have continuous integration systems scan code submissions, detect
+changes to files in a daemons subdirectory and select only tests using that
+daemon to run to shorten developers waiting times for test results and save test
+infrastructure resources.
+
+Newly written modules and code changes on tests, which do not contain any or
+incorrect markers will be rejected by reviewers.
+
+
+Registering markers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The Registration of new markers takes place in the file
+``tests/topotests/pytest.ini``:
+
+.. code:: python3
+
+    # tests/topotests/pytest.ini
+    [pytest]
+    ...
+    markers =
+        babeld: Tests that run against BABELD
+        bfdd: Tests that run against BFDD
+        ...
+        vrrpd: Tests that run against VRRPD
+
+
+Adding markers to tests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Markers are added to a test by placing a global variable in the test module.
+
+Adding a single marker:
+
+.. code:: python3
+
+    import pytest
+    ...
+    
+    # add after imports, before defining classes or functions:
+    pytestmark = pytest.mark.bfdd
+    
+    ...
+    
+    def test_using_bfdd():
+
+
+Adding multiple markers:
+
+.. code:: python3
+
+    import pytest
+    ...
+    
+    # add after imports, before defining classes or functions:
+    pytestmark = [
+        pytest.mark.bgpd,
+        pytest.mark.ospfd,
+        pytest.mark.ospf6d
+    ]
+    
+    ...
+    
+    def test_using_bgpd_ospfd_ospf6d():
+
+
+Selecting marked modules for testing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Selecting by a single marker:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    pytest -v -m isisd
+
+Selecting by multiple markers:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    pytest -v -m "isisd or ldpd or nhrpd"
+
+
+Further Information
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The `online pytest documentation <https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/example/markers.html>`_
+provides further information and usage examples for pytest markers.

+Snippets
+--------
+
+This document will describe common snippets of code that are frequently needed
+to perform some test checks.
+
+Checking for router / test failures
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following check uses the topogen API to check for software failure (e.g.
+zebra died) and/or for errors manually set by ``Topogen.set_error()``.
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   # Get the topology reference
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+
+   # Check for errors in the topology
+   if tgen.routers_have_failure():
+       # Skip the test with the topology errors as reason
+       pytest.skip(tgen.errors)
+
+Checking FRR routers version
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This code snippet is usually run after the topology setup to make sure all
+routers instantiated in the topology have the correct software version.
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   # Get the topology reference
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+
+   # Get the router list
+   router_list = tgen.routers()
+
+   # Run the check for all routers
+   for router in router_list.values():
+       if router.has_version('<', '3'):
+           # Set topology error, so the next tests are skipped
+           tgen.set_error('unsupported version')
+
+A sample of this snippet in a test can be found `here
+<ldp-vpls-topo1/test_ldp_vpls_topo1.py>`__.

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You might want to interact with the topology equipment during the tests and
+there are different ways to do so.
+
+Notes:
+
+1. When using the Topogen API, all the equipment code derives from ``Topogear``
+   (`lib/topogen.py <lib/topogen.py>`__). If you feel brave you can look by
+   yourself how the abstractions that will be mentioned here work.
+
+2. When not using the ``Topogen`` API there is only one way to interact with
+   the equipment, which is by calling the ``mininet`` API functions directly
+   to spawn commands.
+
+Interacting with the Linux sandbox
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Without ``Topogen``:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   global net
+   output = net['r1'].cmd('echo "foobar"')
+   print 'output is: {}'.format(output)
+
+With ``Topogen``:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   output = tgen.gears['r1'].run('echo "foobar"')
+   print 'output is: {}'.format(output)
+
+Interacting with VTYSH
+""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Without ``Topogen``:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   global net
+   output = net['r1'].cmd('vtysh "show ip route" 2>/dev/null')
+   print 'output is: {}'.format(output)
+
+With ``Topogen``:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   output = tgen.gears['r1'].vtysh_cmd("show ip route")
+   print 'output is: {}'.format(output)
+
+``Topogen`` also supports sending multiple lines of command:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   output = tgen.gears['r1'].vtysh_cmd("""
+   configure terminal
+   router bgp 10
+     bgp router-id 10.0.255.1
+     neighbor 1.2.3.4 remote-as 10
+     !
+   router bgp 11
+     bgp router-id 10.0.255.2
+     !
+   """)
+   print 'output is: {}'.format(output)
+
+You might also want to run multiple commands and get only the commands that
+failed:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   output = tgen.gears['r1'].vtysh_multicmd("""
+   configure terminal
+   router bgp 10
+     bgp router-id 10.0.255.1
+     neighbor 1.2.3.4 remote-as 10
+     !
+   router bgp 11
+     bgp router-id 10.0.255.2
+     !
+   """, pretty_output=false)
+   print 'output is: {}'.format(output)
+
+Translating vtysh JSON output into Python structures:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   json_output = tgen.gears['r1'].vtysh_cmd("show ip route json", isjson=True)
+   output = json.dumps(json_output, indent=4)
+   print 'output is: {}'.format(output)
+
+   # You can also access the data structure as normal. For example:
+   # protocol = json_output['1.1.1.1/32']['protocol']
+   # assert protocol == "ospf", "wrong protocol"
+
+.. note::
+
+   ``vtysh_(multi)cmd`` is only available for router types of equipment.
+
+Invoking mininet CLI
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Without ``Topogen``:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   CLI(net)
+
+With ``Topogen``:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   tgen.mininet_cli()
+
+Reading files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Loading a normal text file content in the current directory:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   # If you are using Topogen
+   # CURDIR = CWD
+   #
+   # Otherwise find the directory manually:
+   CURDIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
+
+   file_name = '{}/r1/show_ip_route.txt'.format(CURDIR)
+   file_content = open(file_name).read()
+
+Loading JSON from a file:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   import json
+
+   file_name = '{}/r1/show_ip_route.json'.format(CURDIR)
+   file_content = json.loads(open(file_name).read())
+
+Comparing JSON output
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+After obtaining JSON output formatted with Python data structures, you may use
+it to assert a minimalist schema:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   json_output = tgen.gears['r1'].vtysh_cmd("show ip route json", isjson=True)
+
+   expect = {
+     '1.1.1.1/32': {
+       'protocol': 'ospf'
+     }
+   }
+
+   assertmsg = "route 1.1.1.1/32 was not learned through OSPF"
+   assert json_cmp(json_output, expect) is None, assertmsg
+
+``json_cmp`` function description (it might be outdated, you can find the
+latest description in the source code at
+:file:`tests/topotests/lib/topotest.py`
+
+.. code:: text
+
+   JSON compare function. Receives two parameters:
+   * `d1`: json value
+   * `d2`: json subset which we expect
+
+   Returns `None` when all keys that `d1` has matches `d2`,
+   otherwise a string containing what failed.
+
+   Note: key absence can be tested by adding a key with value `None`.
+
+Pausing execution
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Preferably, choose the ``sleep`` function that ``topotest`` provides, as it
+prints a notice during the test execution to help debug topology test execution
+time.
+
+.. code:: py
+
+    # Using the topotest sleep
+    from lib import topotest
+
+    topotest.sleep(10, 'waiting 10 seconds for bla')
+    # or just tell it the time:
+    # topotest.sleep(10)
+    # It will print 'Sleeping for 10 seconds'.
+
+    # Or you can also use the Python sleep, but it won't show anything
+    from time import sleep
+    sleep(5)
+
+iproute2 Linux commands as JSON
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``topotest`` has two helpers implemented that parses the output of ``ip route``
+commands to JSON. It might simplify your comparison needs by only needing to
+provide a Python dictionary.
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   from lib import topotest
+
+   tgen = get_topogen()
+   routes = topotest.ip4_route(tgen.gears['r1'])
+   expected = {
+     '10.0.1.0/24': {},
+     '10.0.2.0/24': {
+       'dev': 'r1-eth0'
+     }
+   }
+
+   assertmsg = "failed to find 10.0.1.0/24 and/or 10.0.2.0/24"
+   assert json_cmp(routes, expected) is None, assertmsg

+
+Topotests
+=========
+
+Topotests is a suite of topology tests for FRR built on top of micronet.
+
+Installation and Setup
+----------------------
+
+Topotests run under python3. Additionally, for ExaBGP (which is used
+in some of the BGP tests) an older python2 version (and the python2
+version of ``pip``) must be installed.
+
+Tested with Ubuntu 20.04,Ubuntu 18.04, and Debian 11.
+
+Instructions are the same for all setups (i.e. ExaBGP is only used for
+BGP tests).
+
+Installing Topotest Requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   apt-get install gdb
+   apt-get install iproute2
+   apt-get install net-tools
+   apt-get install python3-pip
+   python3 -m pip install wheel
+   python3 -m pip install 'pytest>=6.2.4'
+   python3 -m pip install 'pytest-xdist>=2.3.0'
+   python3 -m pip install 'scapy>=2.4.5'
+   python3 -m pip install xmltodict
+   # Use python2 pip to install older ExaBGP
+   python2 -m pip install 'exabgp<4.0.0'
+   useradd -d /var/run/exabgp/ -s /bin/false exabgp
+
+   # To enable the gRPC topotest install:
+   python3 -m pip install grpcio grpcio-tools
+
+   # Install Socat tool to run PIMv6 tests,
+   # Socat code can be taken from below url,
+   # which has latest changes done for PIMv6,
+   # join and traffic:
+   https://github.com/opensourcerouting/socat/
+
+
+Enable Coredumps
+""""""""""""""""
+
+Optional, will give better output.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   disable apport (which move core files)
+
+Set ``enabled=0`` in ``/etc/default/apport``.
+
+Next, update security limits by changing :file:`/etc/security/limits.conf` to::
+
+   #<domain>      <type>  <item>         <value>
+   *               soft    core          unlimited
+   root            soft    core          unlimited
+   *               hard    core          unlimited
+   root            hard    core          unlimited
+
+Reboot for options to take effect.
+
+SNMP Utilities Installation
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+To run SNMP test you need to install SNMP utilities and MIBs. Unfortunately
+there are some errors in the upstream MIBS which need to be patched up. The
+following steps will get you there on Ubuntu 20.04.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   apt install libsnmp-dev
+   apt install snmpd snmp
+   apt install snmp-mibs-downloader
+   download-mibs
+   wget http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaippmmetricsregistry-mib/ianaippmmetricsregistry-mib -O /usr/share/snmp/mibs/iana/IANA-IPPM-METRICS-REGISTRY-MIB
+   wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=p3QyuXzZ -O /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ietf/SNMPv2-PDU
+   wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=gG7j8nyk -O /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ietf/IPATM-IPMC-MIB
+   edit /etc/snmp/snmp.conf to look like this
+   # As the snmp packages come without MIB files due to license reasons, loading
+   # of MIBs is disabled by default. If you added the MIBs you can reenable
+   # loading them by commenting out the following line.
+   mibs +ALL
+
+
+FRR Installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRR needs to be installed separately. It is assume to be configured like the
+standard Ubuntu Packages:
+
+-  Binaries in :file:`/usr/lib/frr`
+-  State Directory :file:`/var/run/frr`
+-  Running under user ``frr``, group ``frr``
+-  vtygroup: ``frrvty``
+-  config directory: :file:`/etc/frr`
+-  For FRR Packages, install the dbg package as well for coredump decoding
+
+No FRR config needs to be done and no FRR daemons should be run ahead of the
+test. They are all started as part of the test.
+
+Manual FRR build
+""""""""""""""""
+
+If you prefer to manually build FRR, then use the following suggested config:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   ./configure \
+       --prefix=/usr \
+       --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
+       --sbindir=/usr/lib/frr \
+       --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \
+       --enable-vtysh \
+       --enable-pimd \
+       --enable-sharpd \
+       --enable-multipath=64 \
+       --enable-user=frr \
+       --enable-group=frr \
+       --enable-vty-group=frrvty \
+       --enable-snmp=agentx \
+       --with-pkg-extra-version=-my-manual-build
+
+And create ``frr`` user and ``frrvty`` group as follows:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   addgroup --system --gid 92 frr
+   addgroup --system --gid 85 frrvty
+   adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/run/frr/ \
+      --gecos "FRRouting suite" --shell /bin/false frr
+   usermod -G frrvty frr
+
+Executing Tests
+---------------
+
+Configure your sudo environment
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Topotests must be run as root. Normally this will be accomplished through the
+use of the ``sudo`` command. In order for topotests to be able to open new
+windows (either XTerm or byobu/screen/tmux windows) certain environment
+variables must be passed through the sudo command. One way to do this is to
+specify the ``-E`` flag to ``sudo``. This will carry over most if not all
+your environment variables include ``PATH``. For example:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   sudo -E python3 -m pytest -s -v
+
+If you do not wish to use ``-E`` (e.g., to avoid ``sudo`` inheriting
+``PATH``) you can modify your `/etc/sudoers` config file to specifically pass
+the environment variables required by topotests. Add the following commands to
+your ``/etc/sudoers`` config file.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   Defaults env_keep="TMUX"
+   Defaults env_keep+="TMUX_PANE"
+   Defaults env_keep+="STY"
+   Defaults env_keep+="DISPLAY"
+
+If there was already an ``env_keep`` configuration there be sure to use the
+``+=`` rather than ``=`` on the first line above as well.
+
+
+Execute all tests in distributed test mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   sudo -E pytest -s -v -nauto --dist=loadfile
+
+The above command must be executed from inside the topotests directory.
+
+All test\_\* scripts in subdirectories are detected and executed (unless
+disabled in ``pytest.ini`` file). Pytest will execute up to N tests in parallel
+where N is based on the number of cores on the host.
+
+Analyze Test Results (``analyze.py``)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+By default router and execution logs are saved in ``/tmp/topotests`` and an XML
+results file is saved in ``/tmp/topotests.xml``. An analysis tool ``analyze.py``
+is provided to archive and analyze these results after the run completes.
+
+After the test run completes one should pick an archive directory to store the
+results in and pass this value to ``analyze.py``. On first execution the results
+are copied to that directory from ``/tmp``, and subsequent runs use that
+directory for analyzing the results. Below is an example of this which also
+shows the default behavior which is to display all failed and errored tests in
+the run.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   ~/frr/tests/topotests# ./analyze.py -Ar run-save
+   bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_multiview_topo1.py::test_bgp_converge
+   ospf_basic_functionality/test_ospf_lan.py::test_ospf_lan_tc1_p0
+   bgp_gr_functionality_topo2/test_bgp_gr_functionality_topo2.py::test_BGP_GR_10_p2
+   bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_multiview_topo1.py::test_bgp_routingTable
+
+Here we see that 4 tests have failed. We an dig deeper by displaying the
+captured logs and errors. First let's redisplay the results enumerated by adding
+the ``-E`` flag
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   ~/frr/tests/topotests# ./analyze.py -Ar run-save -E
+   0 bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_multiview_topo1.py::test_bgp_converge
+   1 ospf_basic_functionality/test_ospf_lan.py::test_ospf_lan_tc1_p0
+   2 bgp_gr_functionality_topo2/test_bgp_gr_functionality_topo2.py::test_BGP_GR_10_p2
+   3 bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_multiview_topo1.py::test_bgp_routingTable
+
+Now to look at the error message for a failed test we use ``-T N`` where N is
+the number of the test we are interested in along with ``--errmsg`` option.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    ~/frr/tests/topotests# ./analyze.py -Ar run-save -T0 --errmsg
+    bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_multiview_topo1.py::test_bgp_converge: AssertionError: BGP did not converge:

+
+     assert False
+
+Now to look at the full text of the error for a failed test we use ``-T N``
+where N is the number of the test we are interested in along with ``--errtext``
+option.
+
+.. code:: shell
+

+
+
+Execute single test
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   cd test_to_be_run
+   ./test_to_be_run.py
+
+For example, and assuming you are inside the frr directory:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   cd tests/topotests/bgp_l3vpn_to_bgp_vrf
+   ./test_bgp_l3vpn_to_bgp_vrf.py
+
+For further options, refer to pytest documentation.
+
+Test will set exit code which can be used with ``git bisect``.
+
+For the simulated topology, see the description in the python file.
+
+StdErr log from daemos after exit
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To enable the reporting of any messages seen on StdErr after the daemons exit,
+the following env variable can be set::
+
+   export TOPOTESTS_CHECK_STDERR=Yes
+
+(The value doesn't matter at this time. The check is whether the env
+variable exists or not.) There is no pass/fail on this reporting; the
+Output will be reported to the console.
+
+Collect Memory Leak Information
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRR processes can report unfreed memory allocations upon exit. To
+enable the reporting of memory leaks, define an environment variable
+``TOPOTESTS_CHECK_MEMLEAK`` with the file prefix, i.e.::
+
+   export TOPOTESTS_CHECK_MEMLEAK="/home/mydir/memleak_"
+
+This will enable the check and output to console and the writing of
+the information to files with the given prefix (followed by testname),
+ie :file:`/home/mydir/memcheck_test_bgp_multiview_topo1.txt` in case
+of a memory leak.
+
+Running Topotests with AddressSanitizer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Topotests can be run with AddressSanitizer. It requires GCC 4.8 or newer.
+(Ubuntu 16.04 as suggested here is fine with GCC 5 as default). For more
+information on AddressSanitizer, see
+https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer.
+
+The checks are done automatically in the library call of ``checkRouterRunning``
+(ie at beginning of tests when there is a check for all daemons running). No
+changes or extra configuration for topotests is required beside compiling the
+suite with AddressSanitizer enabled.
+
+If a daemon crashed, then the errorlog is checked for AddressSanitizer output.
+If found, then this is added with context (calling test) to
+:file:`/tmp/AddressSanitizer.txt` in Markdown compatible format.
+
+Compiling for GCC AddressSanitizer requires to use ``gcc`` as a linker as well
+(instead of ``ld``). Here is a suggest way to compile frr with AddressSanitizer
+for ``master`` branch:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   git clone https://github.com/FRRouting/frr.git
+   cd frr
+   ./bootstrap.sh
+   ./configure \
+       --enable-address-sanitizer \
+       --prefix=/usr/lib/frr --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \
+       --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
+       --sbindir=/usr/lib/frr --bindir=/usr/lib/frr \
+       --with-moduledir=/usr/lib/frr/modules \
+       --enable-multipath=0 --enable-rtadv \
+       --enable-tcp-zebra --enable-fpm --enable-pimd \
+       --enable-sharpd
+   make
+   sudo make install
+   # Create symlink for vtysh, so topotest finds it in /usr/lib/frr
+   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/frr/vtysh /usr/bin/
+
+and create ``frr`` user and ``frrvty`` group as shown above.
+
+Debugging Topotest Failures
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Install and run tests inside ``tmux`` or ``byobu`` for best results.
+
+``XTerm`` is also fully supported. GNU ``screen`` can be used in most
+situations; however, it does not work as well with launching ``vtysh`` or shell
+on error.
+
+For the below debugging options which launch programs or CLIs, topotest should
+be run within ``tmux`` (or ``screen``)_, as ``gdb``, the shell or ``vtysh`` will
+be launched using that windowing program, otherwise ``xterm`` will be attempted
+to launch the given programs.
+
+NOTE: you must run the topotest (pytest) such that your DISPLAY, STY or TMUX
+environment variables are carried over. You can do this by passing the
+``-E`` flag to ``sudo`` or you can modify your ``/etc/sudoers`` config to
+automatically pass that environment variable through to the ``sudo``
+environment.
+
+.. _screen: https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/

+
+Spawning Debugging CLI, ``vtysh`` or Shells on Routers on Test Failure
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+One can have a debugging CLI invoked on test failures by specifying the
+``--cli-on-error`` CLI option as shown in the example below.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   sudo -E pytest --cli-on-error all-protocol-startup
+
+The debugging CLI can run shell or vtysh commands on any combination of routers
+It can also open shells or vtysh in their own windows for any combination of
+routers. This is usually the most useful option when debugging failures. Here is
+the help command from within a CLI launched on error:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    test_bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_routingTable> help
+
+    Commands:
+    help                       :: this help
+    sh [hosts] <shell-command> :: execute <shell-command> on <host>
+    term [hosts]               :: open shell terminals for hosts
+    vtysh [hosts]              :: open vtysh terminals for hosts
+    [hosts] <vtysh-command>    :: execute vtysh-command on hosts
+
+    test_bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_routingTable> r1 show int br
+    ------ Host: r1 ------
+    Interface       Status  VRF             Addresses
+    ---------       ------  ---             ---------
+    erspan0         down    default
+    gre0            down    default
+    gretap0         down    default
+    lo              up      default
+    r1-eth0         up      default         172.16.1.254/24
+    r1-stub         up      default         172.20.0.1/28
+
+    ----------------------
+    test_bgp_multiview_topo1/test_bgp_routingTable>
+
+Additionally, one can have ``vtysh`` or a shell launched on all routers when a
+test fails. To launch the given process on each router after a test failure
+specify one of ``--shell-on-error`` or ``--vtysh-on-error``.
+
+Spawning ``vtysh`` or Shells on Routers
+"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Topotest can automatically launch a shell or ``vtysh`` for any or all routers in
+a test. This is enabled by specifying 1 of 2 CLI arguments ``--shell`` or
+``--vtysh``. Both of these options can be set to a single router value, multiple
+comma-seperated values, or ``all``.
+
+When either of these options are specified topotest will pause after setup and
+each test to allow for inspection of the router state.
+
+Here's an example of launching ``vtysh`` on routers ``rt1`` and ``rt2``.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   sudo -E pytest --vtysh=rt1,rt2 all-protocol-startup
+
+Debugging with GDB
+""""""""""""""""""
+
+Topotest can automatically launch any daemon with ``gdb``, possibly setting
+breakpoints for any test run. This is enabled by specifying 1 or 2 CLI arguments
+``--gdb-routers`` and ``--gdb-daemons``. Additionally ``--gdb-breakpoints`` can
+be used to automatically set breakpoints in the launched ``gdb`` processes.
+
+Each of these options can be set to a single value, multiple comma-seperated
+values, or ``all``. If ``--gdb-routers`` is empty but ``--gdb_daemons`` is set
+then the given daemons will be launched in ``gdb`` on all routers in the test.
+Likewise if ``--gdb_routers`` is set, but ``--gdb_daemons`` is empty then all
+daemons on the given routers will be launched in ``gdb``.
+
+Here's an example of launching ``zebra`` and ``bgpd`` inside ``gdb`` on router
+``r1`` with a breakpoint set on ``nb_config_diff``
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   sudo -E pytest --gdb-routers=r1 \
+          --gdb-daemons=bgpd,zebra \
+          --gdb-breakpoints=nb_config_diff \
+          all-protocol-startup
+
+Detecting Memleaks with Valgrind
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Topotest can automatically launch all daemons with ``valgrind`` to check for
+memleaks. This is enabled by specifying 1 or 2 CLI arguments.
+``--valgrind-memleaks`` will enable general memleak detection, and
+``--valgrind-extra`` enables extra functionality including generating a
+suppression file. The suppression file ``tools/valgrind.supp`` is used when
+memleak detection is enabled.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   sudo -E pytest --valgrind-memleaks all-protocol-startup
+
+.. _topotests_docker:
+
+Running Tests with Docker
+-------------------------
+
+There is a Docker image which allows to run topotests.
+
+Quickstart
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have Docker installed, you can run the topotests in Docker. The easiest
+way to do this, is to use the make targets from this repository.
+
+Your current user needs to have access to the Docker daemon.  Alternatively you
+can run these commands as root.
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   make topotests
+
+This command will pull the most recent topotests image from Dockerhub, compile
+FRR inside of it, and run the topotests.
+
+Advanced Usage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Internally, the topotests make target uses a shell script to pull the image and
+spawn the Docker container.
+
+There are several environment variables which can be used to modify the
+behavior of the script, these can be listed by calling it with ``-h``:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   ./tests/topotests/docker/frr-topotests.sh -h
+
+For example, a volume is used to cache build artifacts between multiple runs of
+the image. If you need to force a complete recompile, you can set
+``TOPOTEST_CLEAN``:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   TOPOTEST_CLEAN=1 ./tests/topotests/docker/frr-topotests.sh
+
+By default, ``frr-topotests.sh`` will build frr and run pytest. If you append
+arguments and the first one starts with ``/`` or ``./``, they will replace the
+call to pytest. If the appended arguments do not match this patttern, they will
+be provided to pytest as arguments.  So, to run a specific test with more
+verbose logging:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   ./tests/topotests/docker/frr-topotests.sh -vv -s all-protocol-startup/test_all_protocol_startup.py
+
+And to compile FRR but drop into a shell instead of running pytest:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   ./tests/topotests/docker/frr-topotests.sh /bin/bash
+
+Development
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Docker image just includes all the components to run the topotests, but not
+the topotests themselves. So if you just want to write tests and don't want to
+make changes to the environment provided by the Docker image. You don't need to
+build your own Docker image if you do not want to.
+
+When developing new tests, there is one caveat though: The startup script of
+the container will run a ``git-clean`` on its copy of the FRR tree to avoid any
+pollution of the container with build artefacts from the host. This will also
+result in your newly written tests being unavailable in the container unless at
+least added to the index with ``git-add``.
+
+If you do want to test changes to the Docker image, you can locally build the
+image and run the tests without pulling from the registry using the following
+commands:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+   make topotests-build
+   TOPOTEST_PULL=0 make topotests
+
+
+.. _topotests-guidelines:
+
+Guidelines
+----------
+
+Executing Tests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To run the whole suite of tests the following commands must be executed at the
+top level directory of topotest:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   $ # Change to the top level directory of topotests.
+   $ cd path/to/topotests
+   $ # Tests must be run as root, since micronet requires it.
+   $ sudo -E pytest
+
+In order to run a specific test, you can use the following command:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   $ # running a specific topology
+   $ sudo -E pytest ospf-topo1/
+   $ # or inside the test folder
+   $ cd ospf-topo1
+   $ sudo -E pytest # to run all tests inside the directory
+   $ sudo -E pytest test_ospf_topo1.py # to run a specific test
+   $ # or outside the test folder
+   $ cd ..
+   $ sudo -E pytest ospf-topo1/test_ospf_topo1.py # to run a specific one
+
+The output of the tested daemons will be available at the temporary folder of
+your machine:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   $ ls /tmp/topotest/ospf-topo1.test_ospf-topo1/r1
+   ...
+   zebra.err # zebra stderr output
+   zebra.log # zebra log file
+   zebra.out # zebra stdout output
+   ...
+
+You can also run memory leak tests to get reports:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   $ # Set the environment variable to apply to a specific test...
+   $ sudo -E env TOPOTESTS_CHECK_MEMLEAK="/tmp/memleak_report_" pytest ospf-topo1/test_ospf_topo1.py
+   $ # ...or apply to all tests adding this line to the configuration file
+   $ echo 'memleak_path = /tmp/memleak_report_' >> pytest.ini
+   $ # You can also use your editor
+   $ $EDITOR pytest.ini
+   $ # After running tests you should see your files:
+   $ ls /tmp/memleak_report_*
+   memleak_report_test_ospf_topo1.txt
+
+Writing a New Test
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This section will guide you in all recommended steps to produce a standard
+topology test.
+
+This is the recommended test writing routine:
+
+- Write a topology (Graphviz recommended)
+- Obtain configuration files
+- Write the test itself
+- Format the new code using `black <https://github.com/psf/black>`_
+- Create a Pull Request
+
+Some things to keep in mind:
+
+- BGP tests MUST use generous convergence timeouts - you must ensure
+  that any test involving BGP uses a convergence timeout of at least
+  130 seconds.
+- Topotests are run on a range of Linux versions: if your test
+  requires some OS-specific capability (like mpls support, or vrf
+  support), there are test functions available in the libraries that
+  will help you determine whether your test should run or be skipped.
+- Avoid including unstable data in your test: don't rely on link-local
+  addresses or ifindex values, for example, because these can change
+  from run to run.
+- Using sleep is almost never appropriate. As an example: if the test resets the
+  peers in BGP, the test should look for the peers re-converging instead of just
+  sleeping an arbitrary amount of time and continuing on. See
+  ``verify_bgp_convergence`` as a good example of this. In particular look at
+  it's use of the ``@retry`` decorator. If you are having troubles figuring out
+  what to look for, please do not be afraid to ask.
+- Don't duplicate effort. There exists many protocol utility functions that can
+  be found in their eponymous module under ``tests/topotests/lib/`` (e.g.,
+  ``ospf.py``)
+
+
+
+Topotest File Hierarchy
+"""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Before starting to write any tests one must know the file hierarchy. The
+repository hierarchy looks like this:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   $ cd path/to/topotest
+   $ find ./*
+   ...
+   ./README.md # repository read me
+   ./GUIDELINES.md # this file
+   ./conftest.py # test hooks - pytest related functions
+   ./example-test # example test folder
+   ./example-test/__init__.py # python package marker - must always exist.
+   ./example-test/test_template.jpg # generated topology picture - see next section
+   ./example-test/test_template.dot # Graphviz dot file
+   ./example-test/test_template.py # the topology plus the test
+   ...
+   ./ospf-topo1 # the ospf topology test
+   ./ospf-topo1/r1 # router 1 configuration files
+   ./ospf-topo1/r1/zebra.conf # zebra configuration file
+   ./ospf-topo1/r1/ospfd.conf # ospf configuration file
+   ./ospf-topo1/r1/ospfroute.txt # 'show ip ospf' output reference file
+   # removed other for shortness sake
+   ...
+   ./lib # shared test/topology functions
+   ./lib/topogen.py # topogen implementation
+   ./lib/topotest.py # topotest implementation
+
+Guidelines for creating/editing topotest:
+
+- New topologies that don't fit the existing directories should create its own
+- Always remember to add the ``__init__.py`` to new folders, this makes auto
+  complete engines and pylint happy
+- Router (Quagga/FRR) specific code should go on topotest.py
+- Generic/repeated router actions should have an abstraction in
+  topogen.TopoRouter.
+- Generic/repeated non-router code should go to topotest.py
+- pytest related code should go to conftest.py (e.g. specialized asserts)
+
+Defining the Topology
+"""""""""""""""""""""
+
+The first step to write a new test is to define the topology. This step can be
+done in many ways, but the recommended is to use Graphviz to generate a drawing
+of the topology. It allows us to see the topology graphically and to see the
+names of equipment, links and addresses.
+
+Here is an example of Graphviz dot file that generates the template topology
+:file:`tests/topotests/example-test/test_template.dot` (the inlined code might
+get outdated, please see the linked file)::
+
+   graph template {
+       label="template";
+
+       # Routers
+       r1 [
+           shape=doubleoctagon,
+           label="r1",
+           fillcolor="#f08080",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+       r2 [
+           shape=doubleoctagon,
+           label="r2",
+           fillcolor="#f08080",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+
+       # Switches
+       s1 [
+           shape=oval,
+           label="s1\n192.168.0.0/24",
+           fillcolor="#d0e0d0",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+       s2 [
+           shape=oval,
+           label="s2\n192.168.1.0/24",
+           fillcolor="#d0e0d0",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+
+       # Connections
+       r1 -- s1 [label="eth0\n.1"];
+
+       r1 -- s2 [label="eth1\n.100"];
+       r2 -- s2 [label="eth0\n.1"];
+   }
+
+Here is the produced graph:
+
+.. graphviz::
+
+   graph template {
+       label="template";
+
+       # Routers
+       r1 [
+           shape=doubleoctagon,
+           label="r1",
+           fillcolor="#f08080",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+       r2 [
+           shape=doubleoctagon,
+           label="r2",
+           fillcolor="#f08080",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+
+       # Switches
+       s1 [
+           shape=oval,
+           label="s1\n192.168.0.0/24",
+           fillcolor="#d0e0d0",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+       s2 [
+           shape=oval,
+           label="s2\n192.168.1.0/24",
+           fillcolor="#d0e0d0",
+           style=filled,
+       ];
+
+       # Connections
+       r1 -- s1 [label="eth0\n.1"];
+
+       r1 -- s2 [label="eth1\n.100"];
+       r2 -- s2 [label="eth0\n.1"];
+   }
+
+Generating / Obtaining Configuration Files
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+In order to get the configuration files or command output for each router, we
+need to run the topology and execute commands in ``vtysh``. The quickest way to
+achieve that is writing the topology building code and running the topology.
+
+To bootstrap your test topology, do the following steps:
+
+- Copy the template test
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   $ mkdir new-topo/
+   $ touch new-topo/__init__.py
+   $ cp example-test/test_template.py new-topo/test_new_topo.py
+
+- Modify the template according to your dot file
+
+Here is the template topology described in the previous section in python code:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+    topodef = {
+        "s1": "r1"
+        "s2": ("r1", "r2")
+    }
+
+If more specialized topology definitions, or router initialization arguments are
+required a build function can be used instead of a dictionary:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+    def build_topo(tgen):
+        "Build function"
+
+        # Create 2 routers
+        for routern in range(1, 3):
+            tgen.add_router("r{}".format(routern))
+
+        # Create a switch with just one router connected to it to simulate a
+        # empty network.
+        switch = tgen.add_switch("s1")
+        switch.add_link(tgen.gears["r1"])
+
+        # Create a connection between r1 and r2
+        switch = tgen.add_switch("s2")
+        switch.add_link(tgen.gears["r1"])
+        switch.add_link(tgen.gears["r2"])
+
+- Run the topology
+
+Topogen allows us to run the topology without running any tests, you can do
+that using the following example commands:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+   $ # Running your bootstraped topology
+   $ sudo -E pytest -s --topology-only new-topo/test_new_topo.py
+   $ # Running the test_template.py topology
+   $ sudo -E pytest -s --topology-only example-test/test_template.py
+   $ # Running the ospf_topo1.py topology
+   $ sudo -E pytest -s --topology-only ospf-topo1/test_ospf_topo1.py
+
+Parameters explanation:
+
+.. program:: pytest
+
+.. option:: -s
+
+   Actives input/output capture. If this is not specified a new window will be
+   opened for the interactive CLI, otherwise it will be activated inline.
+
+.. option:: --topology-only
+
+   Don't run any tests, just build the topology.
+
+After executing the commands above, you should get the following terminal
+output:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    frr/tests/topotests# sudo -E pytest -s --topology-only ospf_topo1/test_ospf_topo1.py

+Writing Tests
+"""""""""""""
+
+Test topologies should always be bootstrapped from
+:file:`tests/topotests/example_test/test_template.py` because it contains
+important boilerplate code that can't be avoided, like:
+
+Example:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+       # For all routers arrange for:
+       # - starting zebra using config file from <rtrname>/zebra.conf
+       # - starting ospfd using an empty config file.
+       for rname, router in router_list.items():
+           router.load_config(TopoRouter.RD_ZEBRA, "zebra.conf")
+           router.load_config(TopoRouter.RD_OSPF)
+
+
+- The topology definition or build function
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   topodef = {
+       "s1": ("r1", "r2"),
+       "s2": ("r2", "r3")
+   }
+
+   def build_topo(tgen):
+       # topology build code
+       ...
+
+- pytest setup/teardown fixture to start the topology and supply ``tgen``
+  argument to tests.
+
+.. code:: py
+
+
+   @pytest.fixture(scope="module")
+   def tgen(request):
+       "Setup/Teardown the environment and provide tgen argument to tests"
+
+       tgen = Topogen(topodef, module.__name__)
+       # or
+       tgen = Topogen(build_topo, module.__name__)
+
+       ...
+
+       # Start and configure the router daemons
+       tgen.start_router()
+
+       # Provide tgen as argument to each test function
+       yield tgen
+
+       # Teardown after last test runs
+       tgen.stop_topology()
+
+
+Requirements:
+
+- Directory name for a new topotest must not contain hyphen (``-``) characters.
+  To separate words, use underscores (``_``). For example, ``tests/topotests/bgp_new_example``.
+- Test code should always be declared inside functions that begin with the
+  ``test_`` prefix. Functions beginning with different prefixes will not be run
+  by pytest.
+- Configuration files and long output commands should go into separated files
+  inside folders named after the equipment.
+- Tests must be able to run without any interaction. To make sure your test
+  conforms with this, run it without the :option:`-s` parameter.
+- Use `black <https://github.com/psf/black>`_ code formatter before creating
+  a pull request. This ensures we have a unified code style.
+- Mark test modules with pytest markers depending on the daemons used during the
+  tests (see :ref:`topotests-markers`)
+- Always use IPv4 :rfc:`5737` (``192.0.2.0/24``, ``198.51.100.0/24``,
+  ``203.0.113.0/24``) and IPv6 :rfc:`3849` (``2001:db8::/32``) ranges reserved
+  for documentation.
+
+Tips:
+
+- Keep results in stack variables, so people inspecting code with ``pdb`` can
+  easily print their values.
+
+Don't do this:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   assert foobar(router1, router2)
+
+Do this instead:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   result = foobar(router1, router2)
+   assert result
+
+- Use ``assert`` messages to indicate where the test failed.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   for router in router_list:
+      # ...
+      assert condition, 'Router "{}" condition failed'.format(router.name)
+
+Debugging Execution
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The most effective ways to inspect topology tests are:
+
+- Run pytest with ``--pdb`` option. This option will cause a pdb shell to
+  appear when an assertion fails
+
+Example: ``pytest -s --pdb ospf-topo1/test_ospf_topo1.py``
+
+- Set a breakpoint in the test code with ``pdb``
+
+Example:
+
+.. code:: py
+
+   # Add the pdb import at the beginning of the file
+   import pdb
+   # ...
+
+   # Add a breakpoint where you think the problem is
+   def test_bla():
+     # ...
+     pdb.set_trace()
+     # ...
+
+The `Python Debugger <https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/pdb.html>`__ (pdb)
+shell allows us to run many useful operations like:
+
+- Setting breaking point on file/function/conditions (e.g. ``break``,
+  ``condition``)
+- Inspecting variables (e.g. ``p`` (print), ``pp`` (pretty print))
+- Running python code
+
+.. tip::
+
+   The TopoGear (equipment abstraction class) implements the ``__str__`` method
+   that allows the user to inspect equipment information.
+
+Example of pdb usage:
+
+.. code:: shell

+To learn/remember common code snippets see :ref:`topotests-snippets`.
+
+Before creating a new topology, make sure that there isn't one already that
+does what you need. If nothing is similar, then you may create a new topology,
+preferably, using the newest template
+(:file:`tests/topotests/example-test/test_template.py`).

+
+Tracing
+=======
+
+FRR has a small but growing number of static tracepoints available for use with
+various tracing systems. These tracepoints can assist with debugging,
+performance analysis and to help understand program flow. They can also be used
+for monitoring.
+
+Developers are encouraged to write new static tracepoints where sensible. They
+are not compiled in by default, and even when they are, they have no overhead
+unless enabled by a tracer, so it is okay to be liberal with them.
+
+
+Supported tracers
+-----------------
+
+Presently two types of tracepoints are supported:
+
+- `LTTng tracepoints <https://lttng.org/>`_
+- `USDT probes <http://dtrace.org/guide/chp-usdt.html>`_
+
+LTTng is a tracing framework for Linux only. It offers extremely low overhead
+and very rich tracing capabilities. FRR supports LTTng-UST, which is the
+userspace implementation. LTTng tracepoints are very rich in detail. No kernel
+modules are needed. Besides only being available for Linux, the primary
+downside of LTTng is the need to link to ``lttng-ust``.
+
+USDT probes originate from Solaris, where they were invented for use with
+dtrace. They are a kernel feature. At least Linux and FreeBSD support them. No
+library is needed; support is compiled in via a system header
+(``<sys/sdt.h>``). USDT probes are much slower than LTTng tracepoints and offer
+less flexibility in what information can be gleaned from them.
+
+LTTng is capable of tracing USDT probes but has limited support for them.
+SystemTap and dtrace both work only with USDT probes.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To compile with tracepoints, use one of the following configure flags:
+
+.. program:: configure.ac
+
+.. option:: --enable-lttng=yes
+
+   Generate LTTng tracepoints
+
+.. option:: --enable-usdt=yes
+
+   Generate USDT probes
+
+To trace with LTTng, compile with either one (prefer :option:`--enable-lttng`
+run the target in non-forking mode (no ``-d``) and use LTTng as usual (refer to
+LTTng user manual). When using USDT probes with LTTng, follow the example in
+`this article
+<https://lttng.org/blog/2019/10/15/new-dynamic-user-space-tracing-in-lttng/>`_.
+To trace with dtrace or SystemTap, compile with `--enable-usdt=yes` and
+use your tracer as usual.
+
+To see available USDT probes::
+
+   readelf -n /usr/lib/frr/bgpd
+
+Example::
+
+   root@host ~> readelf -n /usr/lib/frr/bgpd

+
+Concepts
+--------
+
+Tracepoints are statically defined points in code where a developer has
+determined that outside observers might gain something from knowing what is
+going on at that point. It's like logging but with the ability to dump large
+amounts of internal data with much higher performance. LTTng has a good summary
+`here <https://lttng.org/docs/#doc-what-is-tracing>`_.
+
+Each tracepoint has a "provider" and name. The provider is basically a
+namespace; for example, ``bgpd`` uses the provider name ``frr_bgp``. The name
+is arbitrary, but because providers share a global namespace on the user's
+system, all providers from FRR should be prefixed by ``frr_``. The tracepoint
+name is just the name of the event. Events are globally named by their provider
+and name. For example, the event when BGP reads a packet from a peer is
+``frr_bgp:packet_read``.
+
+To do tracing, the tracing tool of choice is told which events to listen to.
+For example, to listen to all events from FRR's BGP implementation, you would
+enable the events ``frr_bgp:*``. In the same tracing session you could also
+choose to record all memory allocations by enabling the ``malloc`` tracepoints
+in ``libc`` as well as all kernel skb operations using the various in-kernel
+tracepoints. This allows you to build as complete a view as desired of what the
+system is doing during the tracing window (subject to what tracepoints are
+available).
+
+Of particular use are the tracepoints for FRR's internal event scheduler;
+tracing these allows you to see all events executed by all event loops for the
+target(s) in question. Here's a couple events selected from a trace of BGP
+during startup::
+
+   ...
+
+   [18:41:35.750131763] (+0.000048901) host frr_libfrr:thread_call: { cpu_id =
+   1 }, { threadmaster_name = "default", function_name = "zclient_connect",
+   scheduled_from = "lib/zclient.c", scheduled_on_line = 3877, thread_addr =
+   0x0, file_descriptor = 0, event_value = 0, argument_ptr = 0xA37F70, timer =
+   0 }
+
+   [18:41:35.750175124] (+0.000020001) host frr_libfrr:thread_call: { cpu_id =
+   1 }, { threadmaster_name = "default", function_name = "frr_config_read_in",
+   scheduled_from = "lib/libfrr.c", scheduled_on_line = 934, thread_addr = 0x0,
+   file_descriptor = 0, event_value = 0, argument_ptr = 0x0, timer = 0 }
+
+   [18:41:35.753341264] (+0.000010532) host frr_libfrr:thread_call: { cpu_id =
+   1 }, { threadmaster_name = "default", function_name = "bgp_event",
+   scheduled_from = "bgpd/bgpd.c", scheduled_on_line = 142, thread_addr = 0x0,
+   file_descriptor = 2, event_value = 2, argument_ptr = 0xE4D780, timer = 2 }
+
+   [18:41:35.753404186] (+0.000004910) host frr_libfrr:thread_call: { cpu_id =
+   1 }, { threadmaster_name = "default", function_name = "zclient_read",
+   scheduled_from = "lib/zclient.c", scheduled_on_line = 3891, thread_addr =
+   0x0, file_descriptor = 40, event_value = 40, argument_ptr = 0xA37F70, timer
+   = 40 }
+
+   ...
+
+
+Very useful for getting a time-ordered look into what the process is doing.
+
+
+Adding Tracepoints
+------------------
+
+Adding new tracepoints is a two step process:
+
+1. Define the tracepoint
+2. Use the tracepoint
+
+Tracepoint definitions state the "provider" and name of the tracepoint, along
+with any values it will produce, and how to format them. This is done with
+macros provided by LTTng. USDT probes do not use definitions and are inserted
+at the trace site with a single macro. However, to maintain support for both
+platforms, you must define an LTTng tracepoint when adding a new one.
+``frrtrace()`` will expand to the appropriate ``DTRACE_PROBEn`` macro when USDT
+is in use.
+
+If you are adding new tracepoints to a daemon that has no tracepoints, that
+daemon's ``subdir.am`` must be updated to conditionally link ``lttng-ust``.
+Look at ``bgpd/subdir.am`` for an example of how to do this; grep for
+``UST_LIBS``. Create new files named ``<daemon>_trace.[ch]``. Use
+``bgpd/bgp_trace.[h]`` as boilerplate. If you are adding tracepoints to a
+daemon that already has them, look for the ``<daemon>_trace.h`` file;
+tracepoints are written here.
+
+Refer to the `LTTng developer docs
+<https://lttng.org/docs/#doc-c-application>`_ for details on how to define
+tracepoints.
+
+To use them, simply add a call to ``frrtrace()`` at the point you'd like the
+event to be emitted, like so:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   ...
+
+   switch (type) {
+   case BGP_MSG_OPEN:
+           frrtrace(2, frr_bgp, open_process, peer, size); /* tracepoint */
+           atomic_fetch_add_explicit(&peer->open_in, 1,
+                                     memory_order_relaxed);
+           mprc = bgp_open_receive(peer, size);
+
+   ...
+
+After recompiling this tracepoint will now be available, either as a USDT probe
+or LTTng tracepoint, depending on your compilation choice.
+
+
+trace.h
+^^^^^^^
+
+Because FRR supports multiple types of tracepoints, the code for creating them
+abstracts away the underlying system being used. This abstraction code is in
+``lib/trace.h``. There are 2 function-like macros that are used for working
+with tracepoints.
+
+- ``frrtrace()`` defines tracepoints
+- ``frrtrace_enabled()`` checks whether a tracepoint is enabled
+
+There is also ``frrtracelog()``, which is used in zlog core code to make zlog
+messages available as trace events to LTTng. This should not be used elsewhere.
+
+There is additional documentation in the header. The key thing to note is that
+you should never include ``trace.h`` in source where you plan to put
+tracepoints; include the tracepoint definition header instead (e.g.
+:file:`bgp_trace.h`).
+
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+Tracers do not like ``fork()`` or ``dlopen()``. LTTng has some workarounds for
+this involving interceptor libraries using ``LD_PRELOAD``.
+
+If you're running FRR in a typical daemonizing way (``-d`` to the daemons)
+you'll need to run the daemons like so:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   LD_PRELOAD=liblttng-ust-fork.so <daemon>
+
+
+If you're using systemd this you can accomplish this for all daemons by
+modifying ``frr.service`` like so:
+
+.. code-block:: diff
+
+   --- a/frr.service
+   +++ b/frr.service
+   @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ Before=network.target
+    OnFailure=heartbeat-failed@%n
+
+    [Service]
+   +Environment="LD_PRELOAD=liblttng-ust-fork.so"
+    Nice=-5
+    Type=forking
+    NotifyAccess=all
+
+
+USDT tracepoints are relatively high overhead and probably shouldn't be used
+for "flight recorder" functionality, i.e. enabling and passively recording all
+events for monitoring purposes. It's generally okay to use LTTng like this,
+though.

+VTYSH
+*****
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`command-line-interface`
+
+.. _vtysh-architecture:
+
+Architecture
+============
+
+VTYSH is a shell for FRR daemons. It amalgamates all the CLI commands defined
+in each of the daemons and presents them to the user in a single shell, which
+saves the user from having to telnet to each of the daemons and use their
+individual shells.  The amalgamation is achieved by
+:ref:`extracting <vtysh-command-extraction>` commands from daemons and
+injecting them into VTYSH at build time.
+
+At runtime, VTYSH maintains an instance of a CLI mode tree just like each
+daemon. However, the mode tree in VTYSH contains (almost) all commands from
+every daemon in the same tree, whereas individual daemons have trees that only
+contain commands relevant to themselves. VTYSH also uses the library CLI
+facilities to maintain the user's current position in the tree (the current
+node). Note that this position must be synchronized with all daemons; if a
+daemon receives a command that causes it to change its current node, VTYSH must
+also change its node. Since the extraction script does not understand the
+handler code of commands, but only their definitions, this and other behaviors
+must be manually programmed into VTYSH for every case where the internal state
+of VTYSH must change in response to a command. Details on how this is done are
+discussed in the :ref:`vtysh-special-defuns` section.
+
+VTYSH also handles writing and applying the integrated configuration file,
+:file:`/etc/frr/frr.conf`. Since it has knowledge of the entire command space
+of FRR, it can intelligently distribute configuration commands only to the
+daemons that understand them. Similarly, when writing the configuration file it
+takes care of combining multiple instances of configuration blocks and
+simplifying the output. This is discussed in :ref:`vtysh-configuration`.
+
+.. _vtysh-command-extraction:
+
+Command Extraction
+------------------
+
+When VTYSH is built, a Perl script named :file:`extract.pl` searches the FRR
+codebase looking for ``DEFUN``'s. It extracts these ``DEFUN``'s, transforms
+them into ``DEFSH``'s and appends them to ``vtysh_cmd.c``. Each ``DEFSH``
+contains the name of the command plus ``_vtysh``, as well as a flag that
+indicates which daemons the command was found in. When the command is executed
+in VTYSH, this flag is inspected to determine which daemons to send the command
+to. This way, commands are only sent to the daemons that know about them,
+avoiding spurious errors from daemons that don't have the command defined.
+
+The extraction script contains lots of hardcoded knowledge about what sources
+to look at and what flags to use for certain commands.
+
+.. _vtysh-special-defuns:
+
+Special DEFUNs
+--------------
+
+In addition to the vanilla ``DEFUN`` macro for defining CLI commands, there are
+several VTYSH-specific ``DEFUN`` variants that each serve different purposes.
+
+``DEFSH``
+   Used almost exclusively by generated VTYSH code. This macro defines a
+   ``cmd_element`` with no handler function; the command, when executed, is
+   simply forwarded to the daemons indicated in the daemon flag.
+
+``DEFUN_NOSH``
+   Used by daemons. Has the same expansion as a ``DEFUN``, but ``extract.pl``
+   will skip these definitions when extracting commands. This is typically used
+   when VTYSH must take some special action upon receiving the command, and the
+   programmer therefore needs to write VTYSH's copy of the command manually
+   instead of using the generated version.
+
+``DEFUNSH``
+   The same as ``DEFUN``, but with an argument that allows specifying the
+   ``->daemon`` field of the generated ``cmd_element``. This is used by VTYSH
+   to determine which daemons to send the command to.
+
+``DEFUNSH_ATTR``
+   A version of ``DEFUNSH`` that allows setting the ``->attr`` field of the
+   generated ``cmd_element``. Not used in practice.
+
+.. _vtysh-configuration:
+
+Configuration Management
+------------------------
+
+When integrated configuration is used, VTYSH manages writing, reading and
+applying the FRR configuration file. VTYSH can be made to read and apply an
+integrated configuration to all running daemons by launching it with ``-f
+<file>``. It sends the appropriate configuration lines to the relevant daemons
+in the same way that commands entered by the user on VTYSH's shell prompt are
+processed.
+
+Configuration writing is more complicated. VTYSH makes a best-effort attempt to
+combine and simplify the configuration as much as possible. A working example
+is best to explain this behavior.
+
+Example
+^^^^^^^
+
+Suppose we have just *staticd* and *zebra* running on the system, and use VTYSH
+to apply the following configuration snippet:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   !
+   vrf blue
+    ip protocol static route-map ExampleRoutemap
+    ip route 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.1
+    exit-vrf
+   !
+
+Note that *staticd* defines static route commands and *zebra* defines ``ip
+protocol`` commands. Therefore if we ask only *zebra* for its configuration, we
+get the following::
+
+   (config)# do sh running-config zebra
+   Building configuration...
+
+   ...
+   !
+   vrf blue
+    ip protocol static route-map ExampleRoutemap
+    exit-vrf
+   !
+   ...
+
+Note that the static route doesn't show up there. Similarly, if we ask
+*staticd* for its configuration, we get::
+
+   (config)# do sh running-config staticd
+
+   ...
+   !
+   vrf blue
+    ip route 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.1
+    exit-vrf
+   !
+   ...
+
+But when we display the configuration with VTYSH, we see::
+
+   ubuntu-bionic(config)# do sh running-config
+
+   ...
+   !
+   vrf blue
+    ip protocol static route-map ExampleRoutemap
+    ip route 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.0.1
+    exit-vrf
+   !
+   ...
+
+This is because VTYSH asks each daemon for its currently running configuration,
+and combines equivalent blocks together. In the above example, it combined the
+``vrf blue`` blocks from both *zebra* and *staticd* together into one. This is
+done in :file:`vtysh_config.c`.
+
+Protocol
+========
+
+VTYSH communicates with FRR daemons by way of domain socket. Each daemon
+creates its own socket, typically in :file:`/var/run/frr/<daemon>.vty`. The
+protocol is very simple. In the VTYSH to daemon direction, messages are simply
+NUL-terminated strings, whose content are CLI commands. Here is a typical
+message from VTYSH to a daemon:
+
+::
+
+   Request
+
+   00000000: 646f 2077 7269 7465 2074 6572 6d69 6e61  do write termina
+   00000010: 6c0a 00                                  l..
+
+
+The response format has some more data in it. First is a NUL-terminated string
+containing the plaintext response, which is just the output of the command that
+was sent in the request. This is displayed to the user. The plaintext response
+is followed by 3 null marker bytes, followed by a 1-byte status code that
+indicates whether the command was successful or not.

+Process & Workflow

+
+FRR is a large project developed by many different groups. This section
+documents standards for code style & quality, commit messages, pull requests
+and best practices that all contributors are asked to follow.
+
+This chapter is "descriptive/post-factual" in that it documents pratices that
+are in use; it is not "definitive/pre-factual" in prescribing practices. This
+means that when a procedure changes, it is agreed upon, then put into practice,
+and then documented here. If this document doesn't match reality, it's the
+document that needs to be updated, not reality.
+
+Mailing Lists
+=============
+
+The FRR development group maintains multiple mailing lists for use by the
+community. Italicized lists are private.
+
++----------------------------------+--------------------------------+
+| Topic                            | List                           |

+
+The Development list is used to discuss and document general issues related to
+project development and governance. The public
+`Slack instance <https://frrouting.slack.com>`_ and weekly technical meetings
+provide a higher bandwidth channel for discussions.  The results of such
+discussions must be reflected in updates, as appropriate, to code (i.e.,
+merges), `GitHub issues`_, and for governance or process changes, updates to
+the Development list and either this file or information posted at
+https://frrouting.org/.
+
+Development & Release Cycle
+===========================
+
+Development
+-----------
+
+.. figure:: ../figures/git_branches.png
+   :align: center
+   :scale: 55%
+   :alt: Merging Git branches into a central trunk
+
+   Rough outline of FRR development workflow
+
+The master Git for FRR resides on `GitHub`_.
+
+There is one main branch for development, ``master``. For each major release
+(2.0, 3.0 etc) a new release branch is created based on the master. Significant
+bugfixes should be backported to upcoming and existing release branches no more
+than 1 year old. As a general rule new features are not backported to release
+branches.
+
+Subsequent point releases based on a major branch are handled with git tags.
+
+Releases
+--------
+FRR employs a ``<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<BUGFIX>`` versioning scheme.
+
+``MAJOR``
+   Significant new features or multiple minor features. This should mostly
+   cover any kind of disruptive change that is visible or "risky" to operators.
+   New features or protocols do not necessarily trigger this. (This was changed
+   for FRR 7.x after feedback from users that the pace of major version number
+   increments was too high.)
+
+``MINOR``
+   General incremental development releases, excluding "major" changes
+   mentioned above.  Not necessarily fully backwards compatible, as smaller
+   (but still visible) changes or deprecated feature removals may still happen.
+   However, there shouldn't be any huge "surprises" between minor releases.
+
+``BUGFIX``
+   Fixes for actual bugs and/or security issues.  Fully compatible.
+
+Releases are scheduled in a 4-month cycle on the first Tuesday each
+March/July/November.  Walking backwards from this date:
+
+ - 6 weeks earlier, ``master`` is frozen for new features, and feature PRs
+   are considered lowest priority (regardless of when they were opened.)
+
+ - 4 weeks earlier, the stable branch separates from master (named
+   ``dev/MAJOR.MINOR`` at this point) and tagged as ```base_X.Y``.
+   Master is unfrozen and new features may again proceed.
+
+   Part of unfreezing master is editing the ``AC_INIT`` statement in
+   :file:`configure.ac` to reflect the new development version that master
+   now refers to.  This is accompanied by a ``frr-X.Y-dev`` tag on master,
+   which should always be on the first commit on master *after* the stable
+   branch was forked (even if that is not the edit to ``AC_INIT``; it's more
+   important to have it on the very first commit on master after the fork.)
+
+   (The :file:`configure.ac` edit and tag push are considered git housekeeping
+   and are pushed directly to ``master``, not through a PR.)
+
+   Below is the snippet of the commands to use in this step.
+
+     .. code-block:: console
+
+        % git remote --verbose
+        upstream  git@github.com:frrouting/frr (fetch)
+        upstream  git@github.com:frrouting/frr (push)
+
+        % git checkout master
+        % git pull upstream master
+        % git checkout -b dev/8.2
+        % git tag base_8.2
+        % git push upstream base_8.2
+        % git push upstream dev/8.2
+        % git checkout master
+        % sed -i 's/8.2-dev/8.3-dev/' configure.ac
+        % git add configure.ac
+        % git commit -s -m "build: FRR 8.3 development version"
+        % git tag -a frr-8.3-dev -m "frr-8.3-dev"
+        % git push upstream master
+        % git push upstream frr-8.3-dev
+
+   In this step, we also have to update package versions to reflect
+   the development version. Versions need to be updated using
+   a standard way of development (Pull Requests) based on master branch.
+
+   Only change the version number with no other changes. This will produce
+   packages with the a version number that is higher than any previous
+   version. Once the release is done, whatever updates we make to changelog
+   files on the release branch need to be cherry-picked to the master branch.
+
+ - 2 weeks earlier, a ``frr-X.Y-rc`` release candidate is tagged.
+
+     .. code-block:: console
+
+        % git remote --verbose
+        upstream  git@github.com:frrouting/frr (fetch)
+        upstream  git@github.com:frrouting/frr (push)
+
+        % git checkout dev/8.2
+        % git tag frr-8.2-rc
+        % git push upstream frr-8.2-rc
+
+ - on release date, the branch is renamed to ``stable/MAJOR.MINOR``.
+
+The 2 week window between each of these events should be used to run any and
+all testing possible for the release in progress.  However, the current
+intention is to stick to the schedule even if known issues remain.  This would
+hopefully occur only after all avenues of fixing issues are exhausted, but to
+achieve this, an as exhaustive as possible list of issues needs to be available
+as early as possible, i.e. the first 2-week window.
+
+For reference, the expected release schedule according to the above is:
+
++---------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
+| Release | 2022-07-05 | 2022-11-01 | 2023-03-07 | 2023-07-04 | 2023-10-31 |

++---------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
+| dev/X.Y | 2022-06-07 | 2022-10-04 | 2023-02-07 | 2023-06-06 | 2023-10-03 |
++---------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
+| freeze  | 2022-05-24 | 2022-09-20 | 2023-01-24 | 2023-05-23 | 2023-09-19 |
++---------+------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
+
+Each release is managed by one or more volunteer release managers from the FRR
+community.  These release managers are expected to handle the branch for a period
+of one year.  To spread and distribute this workload, this should be rotated for
+subsequent releases.  The release managers are currently assumed/expected to
+run a release management meeting during the weeks listed above.  Barring other
+constraints, this would be scheduled before the regular weekly FRR community
+call such that important items can be carried over into that call.
+
+Bugfixes are applied to the two most recent releases.  It is expected that
+each bugfix backported should include some reasoning for its inclusion
+as well as receiving approval by the release managers for that release before
+accepted into the release branch.  This does not necessarily preclude backporting of
+bug fixes to older than the two most recent releases.
+
+Security fixes are backported to all releases less than or equal to at least one
+year old. Security fixes may also be backported to older releases depending on
+severity.
+
+For detailed instructions on how to produce an FRR release, refer to
+:ref:`frr-release-procedure`.
+
+
+Long term support branches ( LTS )
+-----------------------------------------
+
+This kind of branch is not yet officially supported, and need experimentation
+before being effective.
+
+Previous definition of releases prevents long term support of previous releases.
+For instance, bug and security fixes are not applied if the stable branch is too
+old.
+
+Because the FRR users have a need to backport bug and security fixes after the
+stable branch becomes too old, there is a need to provide support on a long term
+basis on that stable branch. If that support is applied on that stable branch,
+then that branch is a long term support branch.
+
+Having a LTS branch requires extra-work and requires one person to be in charge
+of that maintenance branch for a certain amount of time. The amount of time will
+be by default set to 4 months, and can be increased. 4 months stands for the time
+between two releases, this time can be applied to the decision to continue with a
+LTS release or not. In all cases, that time period will be well-defined and
+published. Also, a self nomination from a person that proposes to handle the LTS
+branch is required. The work can be shared by multiple people. In all cases, there
+must be at least one person that is in charge of the maintenance branch. The person
+on people responsible for a maintenance branch must be a FRR maintainer. Note that
+they may choose to abandon support for the maintenance branch at any time. If
+no one takes over the responsibility of the LTS branch, then the support will be
+discontinued.
+
+The LTS branch duties are the following ones:
+
+- organise meetings on a (bi-)weekly or monthly basis, the handling of issues
+  and pull requested relative to that branch. When time permits, this may be done
+  during the regularly scheduled FRR meeting.
+
+- ensure the stability of the branch, by using and eventually adapting the
+  checking the CI tools of FRR ( indeed, maintaining may lead to create
+  maintenance branches for topotests or for CI).
+
+It will not be possible to backport feature requests to LTS branches. Actually, it
+is a false good idea to use LTS for that need. Introducing feature requests may
+break the paradigm where all more recent releases should also include the feature
+request. This would require the LTS maintainer to ensure that all more recent
+releases have support for this feature request. Moreover, introducing features
+requests may result in breaking the stability of the branch. LTS branches are first
+done to bring long term support for stability.
+
+Development Branches
+--------------------
+
+Occassionally the community will desire the ability to work together
+on a feature that is considered useful to FRR.  In this case the
+parties may ask the Maintainers for the creation of a development
+branch in the main FRR repository.  Requirements for this to happen
+are:
+
+- A one paragraph description of the feature being implemented to
+  allow for the facilitation of discussion about the feature.  This
+  might include pointers to relevant RFC's or presentations that
+  explain what is planned.  This is intended to set a somewhat
+  low bar for organization.
+- A branch maintainer must be named.  This person is responsible for
+  keeping the branch up to date, and general communication about the
+  project with the other FRR Maintainers.  Additionally this person
+  must already be a FRR Maintainer.
+- Commits to this branch must follow the normal PR and commit process
+  as outlined in other areas of this document.  The goal of this is
+  to prevent the current state where large features are submitted
+  and are so large they are difficult to review.
+
+After a development branch has completed the work together, a final
+review can be made and the branch merged into master.  If a development
+branch is becomes un-maintained or not being actively worked on after
+three months then the Maintainers can decide to remove the branch.
+
+Debian Branches
+---------------
+
+The Debian project contains "official" packages for FRR.  While FRR
+Maintainers may participate in creating these, it is entirely the Debian
+project's decision what to ship and how to work on this.
+
+As a courtesy and for FRR's benefit, this packaging work is currently visible
+in git branches named ``debian/*`` on the main FRR git repository.  These
+branches are for the exclusive use by people involved in Debian packaging work
+for FRR.  Direct commit access may be handed out and FRR git rules (review,
+testing, etc.) do not apply.  Do not push to these branches without talking
+to the people noted under ``Maintainer:`` and ``Uploaders:`` in
+``debian/control`` on the target branch -- even if you are a FRR Maintainer.
+
+Changelog
+---------
+The changelog will be the base for the release notes. A changelog entry for
+your changes is usually not required and will be added based on your commit
+messages by the maintainers. However, you are free to include an update to the
+changelog with some better description.
+
+Submitting Patches and Enhancements
+===================================
+
+FRR accepts patches using GitHub pull requests.
+
+The base branch for new contributions and non-critical bug fixes should be
+``master``. Please ensure your pull request is based on this branch when you
+submit it.
+
+Code submitted by pull request will be automatically tested by one or more CI
+systems. Once the automated tests succeed, other developers will review your
+code for quality and correctness. After any concerns are resolved, your code
+will be merged into the branch it was submitted against.
+
+The title of the pull request should provide a high level technical
+summary of the included patches.  The description should provide
+additional details that will help the reviewer to understand the context
+of the included patches.
+
+.. _license-for-contributions:
+
+License for Contributions
+-------------------------
+FRR is under a “GPLv2 or later” license. Any code submitted must be released
+under the same license (preferred) or any license which allows redistribution
+under this GPLv2 license (eg MIT License).
+It is forbidden to push any code that prevents from using GPLv3 license. This
+becomes a community rule, as FRR produces binaries that links with Apache 2.0
+libraries. Apache 2.0 and GPLv2 license are incompatible, if put together.
+Please see `<http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html>`_ for
+more information. This rule guarantees the user to distribute FRR binary code
+without any licensing issues.
+
+Pre-submission Checklist
+------------------------
+-  Format code (see `Code Formatting <#code-formatting>`__)
+-  Verify and acknowledge license (see :ref:`license-for-contributions`)
+-  Ensure you have properly signed off (see :ref:`signing-off`)
+-  Test building with various configurations:
+
+   -  ``buildtest.sh``
+
+-  Verify building source distribution:
+
+   -  ``make dist`` (and try rebuilding from the resulting tar file)
+
+-  Run unit tests:
+
+   -  ``make test``
+
+- In the case of a major new feature or other significant change, document
+  plans for continued maintenance of the feature.  In addition it is a
+  requirement that automated testing must be written that exercises
+  the new feature within our existing CI infrastructure.  Also the
+  addition of automated testing to cover any pull request is encouraged.
+
+- All new code must use the current latest version of acceptable code.
+
+   - If a daemon is converted to YANG, then new code must use YANG.
+   - DEFPY's must be used for new cli
+   - Typesafe lists must be used
+   - printf formatting changes must be used
+
+.. _signing-off:
+
+Signing Off
+-----------
+Code submitted to FRR must be signed off. We have the same requirements for
+using the signed-off-by process as the Linux kernel. In short, you must include
+a ``Signed-off-by`` tag in every patch.
+
+An easy way to do this is to use ``git commit -s`` where ``-s`` will automatically
+append a signed-off line to the end of your commit message. Also, if you commit
+and forgot to add the line you can use ``git commit --amend -s`` to add the
+signed-off line to the last commit.
+
+``Signed-off-by`` is a developer's certification that they have the right to
+submit the patch for inclusion into the project. It is an agreement to the
+:ref:`Developer's Certificate of Origin <developers-certificate-of-origin>`.
+Code without a proper ``Signed-off-by`` line cannot and will not be merged.
+
+If you are unfamiliar with this process, you should read the
+`official policy at kernel.org <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html>`_.
+You might also find
+`this article <http://www.linuxfoundation.org/content/how-participate-linux-community-0>`_
+about participating in the Linux community on the Linux Foundation website to
+be a helpful resource.
+
+.. _developers-certificate-of-origin:
+
+In short, when you sign off on a commit, you assert your agreement to all of
+the following::
+
+   Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
+
+   By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
+
+   (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
+       have the right to submit it under the open source license
+       indicated in the file; or
+
+   (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
+       of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
+       license and I have the right under that license to submit that
+       work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by
+       me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to
+       submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or
+
+   (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
+       person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it.
+
+   (d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
+       are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
+       personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
+       maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
+       this project or the open source license(s) involved.
+
+After Submitting Your Changes
+-----------------------------
+
+-  Watch for Continuous Integration (CI) test results
+
+   -  You should automatically receive an email with the test results
+      within less than 2 hrs of the submission. If you don’t get the
+      email, then check status on the GitHub pull request.
+   -  Please notify the development mailing list if you think something
+      doesn't work.
+
+-  If the tests failed:
+
+   -  In general, expect the community to ignore the submission until
+      the tests pass.
+   -  It is up to you to fix and resubmit.
+
+      -  This includes fixing existing unit (“make test”) tests if your
+         changes broke or changed them.
+      -  It also includes fixing distribution packages for the failing
+         platforms (ie if new libraries are required).
+      -  Feel free to ask for help on the development list.
+
+   -  Go back to the submission process and repeat until the tests pass.
+
+-  If the tests pass:
+
+   -  Wait for reviewers. Someone will review your code or be assigned
+      to review your code.
+   -  Respond to any comments or concerns the reviewer has.  Use e-mail or
+      add a comment via github to respond or to let the reviewer know how
+      their comment or concern is addressed.
+   -  An author must never delete or manually dismiss someone else's comments
+      or review.  (A review may be overridden by agreement in the weekly
+      technical meeting.)
+   -  When you have addressed someone's review comments, please click the
+      "re-request review" button (in the top-right corner of the PR page, next
+      to the reviewer's name, an icon that looks like "reload")
+   -  The responsibility for keeping a PR moving rests with the author at
+      least as long as there are either negative CI results or negative review
+      comments.  If you forget to mark a review comment as addressed (by
+      clicking re-request review), the reviewer may very well not notice and
+      won't come back to your PR.
+   -  Automatically generated comments, e.g., those generated by CI systems,
+      may be deleted by authors and others when such comments are not the most
+      recent results from that automated comment source.
+   -  After all comments and concerns are addressed, expect your patch
+      to be merged.
+
+-  Watch out for questions on the mailing list. At this time there will
+   be a manual code review and further (longer) tests by various
+   community members.
+-  Your submission is done once it is merged to the master branch.
+
+Programming Languages, Tools and Libraries
+==========================================
+
+The core of FRR is written in C (gcc or clang supported) and makes
+use of GNU compiler extensions. A few non-essential scripts are
+implemented in Perl and Python. FRR requires the following tools
+to build distribution packages: automake, autoconf, texinfo, libtool and
+gawk and various libraries (i.e. libpam and libjson-c).
+
+If your contribution requires a new library or other tool, then please
+highlight this in your description of the change. Also make sure it’s
+supported by all FRR platform OSes or provide a way to build
+without the library (potentially without the new feature) on the other
+platforms.
+
+Documentation should be written in reStructuredText. Sphinx extensions may be
+utilized but pure ReST is preferred where possible. See
+:ref:`documentation`.
+
+Use of C++
+----------
+
+While C++ is not accepted for core components of FRR, extensions, modules or
+other distinct components may want to use C++ and include FRR header files.
+There is no requirement on contributors to work to retain C++ compatibility,
+but fixes for C++ compatibility are welcome.
+
+This implies that the burden of work to keep C++ compatibility is placed with
+the people who need it, and they may provide it at their leisure to the extent
+it is useful to them.  So, if only a subset of header files, or even parts of
+a header file are made available to C++, this is perfectly fine.
+
+Code Reviews
+============
+
+Code quality is paramount for any large program. Consequently we require
+reviews of all submitted patches by at least one person other than the
+submitter before the patch is merged.
+
+Because of the nature of the software, FRR's maintainer list (i.e. those with
+commit permissions) tends to contain employees / members of various
+organizations. In order to prevent conflicts of interest, we use an honor
+system in which submissions from an individual representing one company should
+be merged by someone unaffiliated with that company.
+
+Guidelines for code review
+--------------------------
+
+- As a rule of thumb, the depth of the review should be proportional to the
+  scope and / or impact of the patch.
+
+- Anyone may review a patch.
+
+- When using GitHub reviews, marking "Approve" on a code review indicates
+  willingness to merge the PR.
+
+- For individuals with merge rights, marking "Changes requested" is equivalent
+  to a NAK.
+
+- For a PR you marked with "Changes requested", please respond to updates in a
+  timely manner to avoid impeding the flow of development.
+
+- Rejected or obsolete PRs are generally closed by the submitter based
+  on requests and/or agreement captured in a PR comment.  The comment
+  may originate with a reviewer or document agreement reached on Slack,
+  the Development mailing list, or the weekly technical meeting.
+
+- Reviewers may ask for new automated testing if they feel that the
+  code change is large enough/significant enough to warrant such
+  a requirement.
+
+For project members with merge permissions, the following patterns have
+emerged:
+
+- a PR with any reviews requesting changes may not be merged.
+
+- a PR with any negative CI result may not be merged.
+
+- an open "yellow" review mark ("review requested, but not done") should be
+  given some time (a few days up to weeks, depending on the size of the PR),
+  but is not a merge blocker.
+
+- a "textbubble" review mark ("review comments, but not positive/negative")
+  should be read through but is not a merge blocker.
+
+- non-trivial PRs are generally given some time (again depending on the size)
+  for people to mark an interest in reviewing.  Trivial PRs may be merged
+  immediately when CI is green.
+
+
+Coding Practices & Style
+========================
+
+Commit messages
+---------------
+
+Commit messages should be formatted in the same way as Linux kernel
+commit messages. The format is roughly::
+
+    dir: short summary
+
+    extended summary
+
+``dir`` should be the top level source directory under which the change was
+made. For example, a change in :file:`bgpd/rfapi` would be formatted as::
+
+   bgpd: short summary
+
+   ...
+
+The first line should be no longer than 50 characters. Subsequent lines should
+be wrapped to 72 characters.
+
+The purpose of commit messages is to briefly summarize what the commit is
+changing. Therefore, the extended summary portion should be in the form of an
+English paragraph. Brief examples of program output are acceptable but if
+present should be short (on the order of 10 lines) and clearly demonstrate what
+has changed. The goal should be that someone with only passing familiarity with
+the code in question can understand what is being changed.
+
+Commit messages consisting entirely of program output are *unacceptable*. These
+do not describe the behavior changed. For example, putting VTYSH output or the
+result of test runs as the sole content of commit messages is unacceptable.
+
+You must also sign off on your commit.

+
+
+Source File Header
+------------------
+
+New files must have a copyright header (see :ref:`license-for-contributions`
+above) added to the file. The header should be:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /*
+     * Title/Function of file
+     * Copyright (C) YEAR  Author’s Name
+     *

+
+    #include <zebra.h>
+
+Please copy-paste this header verbatim. In particular:
+
+- Do not replace "This program" with "FRR"
+- Do not change the address of the FSF
+- keep ``#include <zebra.h>``.  The absolute first header included in any C
+  file **must** be either ``zebra.h`` or ``config.h`` (with HAVE_CONFIG_H guard)
+
+Adding Copyright Claims to Existing Files
+-----------------------------------------
+
+When adding copyright claims for modifications to an existing file, please
+add a ``Portions:`` section as shown below. If this section already exists, add
+your new claim at the end of the list.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /*

+
+Defensive coding requirements
+-----------------------------
+
+In general, code submitted into FRR will be rejected if it uses unsafe
+programming practices.  While there is no enforced overall ruleset, the
+following requirements have achieved consensus:
+
+- ``strcpy``, ``strcat`` and ``sprintf`` are unacceptable without exception.
+  Use ``strlcpy``, ``strlcat`` and ``snprintf`` instead.  (Rationale:  even if
+  you know the operation cannot overflow the buffer, a future code change may
+  inadvertedly introduce an overflow.)
+
+- buffer size arguments, particularly to ``strlcpy`` and ``snprintf``, must
+  use ``sizeof()`` whereever possible.  Particularly, do not use a size
+  constant in these cases.  (Rationale:  changing a buffer to another size
+  constant may leave the write operations on a now-incorrect size limit.)
+
+- For stack allocated structs and arrays that should be zero initialized,
+  prefer initializer expressions over ``memset()`` wherever possible. This
+  helps prevent ``memset()`` calls being missed in branches, and eliminates the
+  error class of an incorrect ``size`` argument to ``memset()``.
+
+  For example, instead of:
+
+  .. code-block:: c
+
+     struct foo mystruct;
+     ...
+     memset(&mystruct, 0x00, sizeof(struct foo));
+
+  Prefer:
+
+  .. code-block:: c
+
+     struct foo mystruct = {};
+
+- Do not zero initialize stack allocated values that must be initialized with a
+  nonzero value in order to be used. This way the compiler and memory checking
+  tools can catch uninitialized value use that would otherwise be suppressed by
+  the (incorrect) zero initialization.
+
+Other than these specific rules, coding practices from the Linux kernel as
+well as CERT or MISRA C guidelines may provide useful input on safe C code.
+However, these rules are not applied as-is;  some of them expressly collide
+with established practice.
+
+
+Container implementations
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In particular to gain defensive coding benefits from better compiler type
+checks, there is a set of replacement container data structures to be found
+in :file:`lib/typesafe.h`.  They're documented under :ref:`lists`.
+
+Unfortunately, the FRR codebase is quite large, and migrating existing code to
+use these new structures is a tedious and far-reaching process (even if it
+can be automated with coccinelle, the patches would touch whole swaths of code
+and create tons of merge conflicts for ongoing work.)  Therefore, little
+existing code has been migrated.
+
+However, both **new code and refactors of existing code should use the new
+containers**.  If there are any reasons this can't be done, please work to
+remove these reasons (e.g. by adding necessary features to the new containers)
+rather than falling back to the old code.
+
+In order of likelyhood of removal, these are the old containers:
+
+- :file:`nhrpd/list.*`, ``hlist_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_LIST``
+- :file:`nhrpd/list.*`, ``list_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_DLIST``
+- :file:`lib/skiplist.*`, ``skiplist_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_SKIPLIST``
+- :file:`lib/*_queue.h` (BSD), ``SLIST_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_LIST``
+- :file:`lib/*_queue.h` (BSD), ``LIST_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_DLIST``
+- :file:`lib/*_queue.h` (BSD), ``STAILQ_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_LIST``
+- :file:`lib/*_queue.h` (BSD), ``TAILQ_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_DLIST``
+- :file:`lib/hash.*`, ``hash_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_HASH``
+- :file:`lib/linklist.*`, ``list_*`` ⇒ ``DECLARE_DLIST``
+- open-coded linked lists ⇒ ``DECLARE_LIST``/``DECLARE_DLIST``
+
+
+Code Formatting
+---------------
+
+C Code
+^^^^^^
+
+For C code, FRR uses Linux kernel style except where noted below. Code which
+does not comply with these style guidelines will not be accepted.
+
+The project provides multiple tools to allow you to correctly style your code
+as painlessly as possible, primarily built around ``clang-format``.
+
+clang-format
+   In the project root there is a :file:`.clang-format` configuration file
+   which can be used with the ``clang-format`` source formatter tool from the
+   LLVM project. Most of the time, this is the easiest and smartest tool to
+   use. It can be run in a variety of ways. If you point it at a C source file
+   or directory of source files, it will format all of them. In the LLVM source
+   tree there are scripts that allow you to integrate it with ``git``, ``vim``
+   and ``emacs``, and there are third-party plugins for other editors. The
+   ``git`` integration is particularly useful; suppose you have some changes in
+   your git index. Then, with the integration installed, you can do the
+   following:
+
+   ::
+
+      git clang-format
+
+   This will format *only* the changes present in your index. If you have just
+   made a few commits and would like to correctly style only the changes made
+   in those commits, you can use the following syntax:
+
+   ::
+
+      git clang-format HEAD~X
+
+   Where X is one more than the number of commits back from the tip of your
+   branch you would like ``clang-format`` to look at (similar to specifying the
+   target for a rebase).
+
+   The ``vim`` plugin is particularly useful. It allows you to select lines in
+   visual line mode and press a key binding to invoke ``clang-format`` on only
+   those lines.
+
+   When using ``clang-format``, it is recommended to use the latest version.
+   Each consecutive version generally has better handling of various edge
+   cases. You may notice on occasion that two consecutive runs of
+   ``clang-format`` over the same code may result in changes being made on the
+   second run. This is an unfortunate artifact of the tool. Please check with
+   the kernel style guide if in doubt.
+
+   One stylistic problem with the FRR codebase is the use of ``DEFUN`` macros
+   for defining CLI commands. ``clang-format`` will happily format these macro
+   invocations, but the result is often unsightly and difficult to read.
+   Consequently, FRR takes a more relaxed position with how these are
+   formatted. In general you should lean towards using the style exemplified in
+   the section on :ref:`command-line-interface`. Because ``clang-format``
+   mangles this style, there is a Python script named ``tools/indent.py`` that
+   wraps ``clang-format`` and handles ``DEFUN`` macros as well as some other
+   edge cases specific to FRR. If you are submitting a new file, it is
+   recommended to run that script over the new file, preferably after ensuring
+   that the latest stable release of ``clang-format`` is in your ``PATH``.
+
+   Documentation on ``clang-format`` and its various integrations is maintained
+   on the LLVM website.
+
+   https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html
+
+checkpatch.sh
+   In the Linux kernel source tree there is a Perl script used to check
+   incoming patches for style errors. FRR uses an adapted version of this
+   script for the same purpose. It can be found at
+   :file:`tools/checkpatch.sh`. This script takes a git-formatted diff or
+   patch file, applies it to a clean FRR tree, and inspects the result to catch
+   potential style errors. Running this script on your patches before
+   submission is highly recommended. The CI system runs this script as well and
+   will comment on the PR with the results if style errors are found.
+
+   It is run like this::
+
+      ./checkpatch.sh <patch> <tree>
+
+   Reports are generated on ``stderr`` and the exit code indicates whether
+   issues were found (2, 1) or not (0).
+
+   Where ``<patch>`` is the path to the diff or patch file and ``<tree>`` is
+   the path to your FRR source tree. The tree should be on the branch that you
+   intend to submit the patch against. The script will make a best-effort
+   attempt to save the state of your working tree and index before applying the
+   patch, and to restore it when it is done, but it is still recommended that
+   you have a clean working tree as the script does perform a hard reset on
+   your tree during its run.
+
+   The script reports two classes of issues, namely WARNINGs and ERRORs. Please
+   pay attention to both of them. The script will generally report WARNINGs
+   where it cannot be 100% sure that a particular issue is real. In most cases
+   WARNINGs indicate an issue that needs to be fixed. Sometimes the script will
+   report false positives; these will be handled in code review on a
+   case-by-case basis. Since the script only looks at changed lines,
+   occasionally changing one part of a line can cause the script to report a
+   style issue already present on that line that is unrelated to the change.
+   When convenient it is preferred that these be cleaned up inline, but this is
+   not required.
+
+   In general, a developer should heed the information reported by checkpatch.
+   However, some flexibility is needed for cases where human judgement yields
+   better clarity than the script. Accordingly, it may be appropriate to
+   ignore some checkpatch.sh warnings per discussion among the submitter(s)
+   and reviewer(s) of a change. Misreporting of errors by the script is
+   possible. When this occurs, the exception should be handled either by
+   patching checkpatch to correct the false error report, or by documenting the
+   exception in this document under :ref:`style-exceptions`. If the incorrect
+   report is likely to appear again, a checkpatch update is preferred.
+
+   If the script finds one or more WARNINGs it will exit with 1. If it finds
+   one or more ERRORs it will exit with 2.
+
+
+Please remember that while FRR provides these tools for your convenience,
+responsibility for properly formatting your code ultimately lies on the
+shoulders of the submitter. As such, it is recommended to double-check the
+results of these tools to avoid delays in merging your submission.
+
+In some cases, these tools modify or flag the format in ways that go beyond or
+even conflict [#tool_style_conflicts]_ with the canonical documented Linux
+kernel style. In these cases, the Linux kernel style takes priority;
+non-canonical issues flagged by the tools are not compulsory but rather are
+opportunities for discussion among the submitter(s) and reviewer(s) of a change.
+
+**Whitespace changes in untouched parts of the code are not acceptable
+in patches that change actual code.** To change/fix formatting issues,
+please create a separate patch that only does formatting changes and
+nothing else.
+
+Kernel and BSD styles are documented externally:
+
+-  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html
+-  http://man.openbsd.org/style
+
+For GNU coding style, use ``indent`` with the following invocation:
+
+::
+
+    indent -nut -nfc1 file_for_submission.c
+
+
+Historically, FRR used fixed-width integral types that do not exist in any
+standard but were defined by most platforms at some point. Officially these
+types are not guaranteed to exist. Therefore, please use the fixed-width
+integral types introduced in the C99 standard when contributing new code to
+FRR. If you need to convert a large amount of code to use the correct types,
+there is a shell script in :file:`tools/convert-fixedwidth.sh` that will do the
+necessary replacements.

+FRR also uses unnamed struct fields, enabled with ``-fms-extensions`` (cf.

+.. code-block:: c

+

+           };
+   };
+
+
+.. _style-exceptions:
+
+Exceptions
+""""""""""
+
+FRR project code comes from a variety of sources, so there are some
+stylistic exceptions in place. They are organized here by branch.
+
+For ``master``:
+
+BSD coding style applies to:
+
+-  ``ldpd/``
+
+``babeld`` uses, approximately, the following style:
+
+-  K&R style braces
+-  Indents are 4 spaces
+-  Function return types are on their own line
+
+For ``stable/3.0`` and ``stable/2.0``:
+
+GNU coding style apply to the following parts:
+
+-  ``lib/``
+-  ``zebra/``
+-  ``bgpd/``
+-  ``ospfd/``
+-  ``ospf6d/``
+-  ``isisd/``
+-  ``ripd/``
+-  ``ripngd/``
+-  ``vtysh/``
+
+BSD coding style applies to:
+
+-  ``ldpd/``
+
+
+Python Code
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Format all Python code with `black <https://github.com/psf/black>`_.
+
+In a line::
+
+   python3 -m black <file.py>
+
+Run this on any Python files you modify before committing.
+
+FRR's Python code has been formatted with black version 19.10b.
+
+
+YANG
+^^^^
+
+FRR uses YANG to define data models for its northbound interface. YANG models
+should follow conventions used by the IETF standard models. From a practical
+standpoint, this corresponds to the output produced by the ``yanglint`` tool
+included in the ``libyang`` project, which is used by FRR to parse and validate
+YANG models. You should run the following command on all YANG documents you
+write:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   yanglint -f yang <model>
+
+The output of this command should be identical to the input file. The sole
+exception to this is comments. ``yanglint`` does not support comments and will
+strip them from its output. You may include comments in your YANG documents,
+but they should be indented appropriately (use spaces). Where possible,
+comments should be eschewed in favor of a suitable ``description`` statement.
+
+In short, a diff between your input file and the output of ``yanglint`` should
+either be empty or contain only comments.
+
+Specific Exceptions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Most of the time checkpatch errors should be corrected. Occasionally as a group
+maintainers will decide to ignore certain stylistic issues. Usually this is
+because correcting the issue is not possible without large unrelated code
+changes. When an exception is made, if it is unlikely to show up again and
+doesn't warrant an update to checkpatch, it is documented here.

+
+Types of configurables
+----------------------
+
+.. note::
+
+   This entire section essentially just argues to not make configuration
+   unnecessarily involved for the user.  Rather than rules, this is more of
+   a list of conclusions intended to help make FRR usable for operators.
+
+
+Almost every feature FRR has comes with its own set of switches and options.
+There are several stages at which configuration can be applied.  In order of
+preference, these are:
+
+-  at configuration/runtime, through YANG.
+
+   This is the preferred way for all FRR knobs.  Not all daemons and features
+   are fully YANGified yet, so in some cases new features cannot rely on a
+   YANG interface.  If a daemon already implements a YANG interface (even
+   partial), new CLI options must be implemented through a YANG model.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      Unlike everything else in this section being guidelines with some slack,
+      implementing and using a YANG interface for new CLI options in (even
+      partially!) YANGified daemons is a hard requirement.
+
+
+-  at configuration/runtime, through the CLI.
+
+   The "good old" way for all regular configuration.  More involved for users
+   to automate *correctly* than YANG.
+
+-  at startup, by loading additional modules.
+
+   If a feature introduces a dependency on additional libraries (e.g. libsnmp,
+   rtrlib, etc.), this is the best way to encapsulate the dependency.  Having
+   a separate module allows the distribution to create a separate package
+   with the extra dependency, so FRR can still be installed without pulling
+   everything in.
+
+   A module may also be appropriate if a feature is large and reasonably well
+   isolated.  Reducing the amount of running the code is a security benefit,
+   so even if there are no new external dependencies, modules can be useful.
+
+   While modules cannot currently be loaded at runtime, this is a tradeoff
+   decision that was made to allow modules to change/extend code that is very
+   hard to (re)adjust at runtime.  If there is a case for runtime (un)loading
+   of modules, this tradeoff can absolutely be reevaluated.
+
+-  at startup, with command line options.
+
+   This interface is only appropriate for options that have an effect very
+   early in FRR startup, i.e. before configuration is loaded.  Anything that
+   affects configuration load itself should be here, as well as options
+   changing the environment FRR runs in.
+
+   If a tunable can be changed at runtime, a command line option is only
+   acceptable if the configured value has an effect before configuration is
+   loaded (e.g. zebra reads routes from the kernel before loading config, so
+   the netlink buffer size is an appropriate command line option.)
+
+-  at compile time, with ``./configure`` options.
+
+   This is the absolute last preference for tunables, since the distribution
+   needs to make the decision for the user and/or the user needs to rebuild
+   FRR in order to change the option.
+
+   "Good" configure options do one of three things:
+
+   -  set distribution-specific parameters, most prominently all the path
+      options.  File system layout is a distribution/packaging choice, so the
+      user would hopefully never need to adjust these.
+
+   -  changing toolchain behavior, e.g. instrumentation, warnings,
+      optimizations and sanitizers.
+
+   -  enabling/disabling parts of the build, especially if they need
+      additional dependencies.  Being able to build only parts of FRR, or
+      without some library, is useful.  **The only effect these options should
+      have is adding or removing files from the build result.**  If a knob
+      in this category causes the same binary to exist in different variants,
+      it is likely implemented incorrectly!
+
+      .. note::
+
+         This last guideline is currently ignored by several configure options.
+         ``vtysh`` in general depends on the entire list of enabled daemons,
+         and options like ``--enable-bgp-vnc`` and ``--enable-ospfapi`` change
+         daemons internally.  Consider this more of an "ideal" than a "rule".
+
+
+Whenever adding new knobs, please try reasonably hard to go up as far as
+possible on the above list.  Especially ``./configure`` flags are often enough
+the "easy way out" but should be avoided when at all possible.  To a lesser
+degree, the same applies to command line options.
+
+
+Compile-time conditional code
+-----------------------------
+
+Many users access FRR via binary packages from 3rd party sources;
+compile-time code puts inclusion/exclusion in the hands of the package
+maintainer. Please think very carefully before making code conditional
+at compile time, as it increases regression testing, maintenance
+burdens, and user confusion. In particular, please avoid gratuitous
+``--enable-…`` switches to the configure script - in general, code
+should be of high quality and in working condition, or it shouldn’t be
+in FRR at all.
+
+When code must be compile-time conditional, try have the compiler make
+it conditional rather than the C pre-processor so that it will still be
+checked by the compiler, even if disabled. For example,
+
+::
+
+    if (SOME_SYMBOL)
+          frobnicate();
+
+is preferred to
+
+::
+
+    #ifdef SOME_SYMBOL
+    frobnicate ();
+    #endif /* SOME_SYMBOL */
+
+Note that the former approach requires ensuring that ``SOME_SYMBOL`` will be
+defined (watch your ``AC_DEFINE``\ s).
+
+Debug-guards in code
+--------------------
+
+Debugging statements are an important methodology to allow developers to fix
+issues found in the code after it has been released. The caveat here is that
+the developer must remember that people will be using the code at scale and in
+ways that can be unexpected for the original implementor. As such debugs
+**MUST** be guarded in such a way that they can be turned off. FRR has the
+ability to turn on/off debugs from the CLI and it is expected that the
+developer will use this convention to allow control of their debugs.
+
+Custom syntax-like block macros
+-------------------------------
+
+FRR uses some macros that behave like the ``for`` or ``if`` C keywords.  These
+macros follow these patterns:
+
+- loop-style macros are named ``frr_each_*`` (and ``frr_each``)
+- single run macros are named ``frr_with_*``
+- to avoid confusion, ``frr_with_*`` macros must always use a ``{ ... }``
+  block even if the block only contains one statement.  The ``frr_each``
+  constructs are assumed to be well-known enough to use normal ``for`` rules.
+- ``break``, ``return`` and ``goto`` all work correctly.  For loop-style
+  macros, ``continue`` works correctly too.
+
+Both the ``each`` and ``with`` keywords are inspired by other (more
+higher-level) programming languages that provide these constructs.
+
+There are also some older iteration macros, e.g. ``ALL_LIST_ELEMENTS`` and
+``FOREACH_AFI_SAFI``.  These macros in some cases do **not** fulfill the above
+pattern (e.g. ``break`` does not work in ``FOREACH_AFI_SAFI`` because it
+expands to 2 nested loops.)
+
+Static Analysis and Sanitizers
+------------------------------
+Clang/LLVM and GCC come with a variety of tools that can be used to help find
+bugs in FRR.
+
+clang-analyze
+   This is a static analyzer that scans the source code looking for patterns
+   that are likely to be bugs. The tool is run automatically on pull requests
+   as part of CI and new static analysis warnings will be placed in the CI
+   results. FRR aims for absolutely zero static analysis errors. While the
+   project is not quite there, code that introduces new static analysis errors
+   is very unlikely to be merged.
+
+AddressSanitizer
+   This is an excellent tool that provides runtime instrumentation for
+   detecting memory errors. As part of CI FRR is built with this
+   instrumentation and run through a series of tests to look for any results.
+   Testing your own code with this tool before submission is encouraged. You
+   can enable it by passing::
+
+      --enable-address-sanitizer
+
+   to ``configure``.
+
+ThreadSanitizer
+   Similar to AddressSanitizer, this tool provides runtime instrumentation for
+   detecting data races. If you are working on or around multithreaded code,
+   extensive testing with this instrumtation enabled is *highly* recommended.
+   You can enable it by passing::
+
+      --enable-thread-sanitizer
+
+   to ``configure``.
+
+MemorySanitizer
+   Similar to AddressSanitizer, this tool provides runtime instrumentation for
+   detecting use of uninitialized heap memory. Testing your own code with this
+   tool before submission is encouraged. You can enable it by passing::
+
+      --enable-memory-sanitizer
+
+   to ``configure``.
+
+All of the above tools are available in the Clang/LLVM toolchain since 3.4.
+AddressSanitizer and ThreadSanitizer are available in recent versions of GCC,
+but are no longer actively maintained. MemorySanitizer is not available in GCC.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The different Sanitizers are mostly incompatible with each other.  Please
+   refer to GCC/LLVM documentation for details.
+
+frr-format plugin
+   This is a GCC plugin provided with FRR that does extended type checks for
+   ``%pFX``-style printfrr extensions.  To use this plugin,
+
+   1. install GCC plugin development files, e.g.::
+
+         apt-get install gcc-10-plugin-dev
+
+   2. **before** running ``configure``, compile the plugin with::
+
+         make -C tools/gcc-plugins CXX=g++-10
+
+   (Edit the GCC version to what you're using, it should work for GCC 9 or
+   newer.)
+
+   After this, the plugin should be automatically picked up by ``configure``.
+   The plugin does not change very frequently, so you can keep it around across
+   work on different FRR branches.  After a ``git clean -x``, the ``make`` line
+   will need to be run again.  You can also add ``--with-frr-format`` to the
+   ``configure`` line to make sure the plugin is used, otherwise if something
+   is not set up correctly it might be silently ignored.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      Do **not** enable this plugin for package/release builds.  It is intended
+      for developer/debug builds only.  Since it modifies the compiler, it may
+      cause silent corruption of the executable files.
+
+      Using the plugin also changes the string for ``PRI[udx]64`` from the
+      system value to ``%L[udx]`` (normally ``%ll[udx]`` or ``%l[udx]``.)
+
+Additionally, the FRR codebase is regularly scanned with Coverity.
+Unfortunately Coverity does not have the ability to handle scanning pull
+requests, but after code is merged it will send an email notifying project
+members with Coverity access of newly introduced defects.
+
+Executing non-installed dynamic binaries
+----------------------------------------
+
+Since FRR uses the GNU autotools build system, it inherits its shortcomings.
+To execute a binary directly from the build tree under a wrapper like
+`valgrind`, `gdb` or `strace`, use::
+
+   ./libtool --mode=execute valgrind [--valgrind-opts] zebra/zebra [--zebra-opts]
+
+While replacing valgrind/zebra as needed.  The `libtool` script is found in
+the root of the build directory after `./configure` has completed.  Its purpose
+is to correctly set up `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` so that libraries from the build tree
+are used.  (On some systems, `libtool` is also available from PATH, but this is
+not always the case.)
+
+CLI changes
+-----------
+
+CLI's are a complicated ugly beast. Additions or changes to the CLI should use
+a DEFPY to encapsulate one setting as much as is possible.  Additionally as new
+DEFPY's are added to the system, documentation should be provided for the new
+commands.
+
+Backwards Compatibility
+-----------------------
+
+As a general principle, changes to CLI and code in the lib/ directory should be
+made in a backwards compatible fashion. This means that changes that are purely
+stylistic in nature should be avoided, e.g., renaming an existing macro or
+library function name without any functional change. When adding new parameters
+to common functions, it is also good to consider if this too should be done in
+a backward compatible fashion, e.g., by preserving the old form in addition to
+adding the new form.
+
+This is not to say that minor or even major functional changes to CLI and
+common code should be avoided, but rather that the benefit gained from a change
+should be weighed against the added cost/complexity to existing code. Also,
+that when making such changes, it is good to preserve compatibility when
+possible to do so without introducing maintenance overhead/cost. It is also
+important to keep in mind, existing code includes code that may reside in
+private repositories (and is yet to be submitted) or code that has yet to be
+migrated from Quagga to FRR.
+
+That said, compatibility measures can (and should) be removed when either:
+
+-  they become a significant burden, e.g. when data structures change and the
+   compatibility measure would need a complex adaptation layer or becomes
+   flat-out impossible
+-  some measure of time (dependent on the specific case) has passed, so that
+   the compatibility grace period is considered expired.
+
+For CLI commands, the deprecation period is 1 year.
+
+In all cases, compatibility pieces should be marked with compiler/preprocessor
+annotations to print warnings at compile time, pointing to the appropriate
+update path. A ``-Werror`` build should fail if compatibility bits are used. To
+avoid compilation issues in released code, such compiler/preprocessor
+annotations must be ignored non-development branches. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   #if CONFDATE > 20180403
+   CPP_NOTICE("Use of <XYZ> is deprecated, please use <ABC>")
+   #endif
+
+Preferably, the shell script :file:`tools/fixup-deprecated.py` will be
+updated along with making non-backwards compatible code changes, or an
+alternate script should be introduced, to update the code to match the
+change.  When the script is updated, there is no need to preserve the
+deprecated code. Note that this does not apply to user interface
+changes, just internal code, macros and libraries.
+
+Miscellaneous
+-------------
+
+When in doubt, follow the guidelines in the Linux kernel style guide, or ask on
+the development mailing list / public Slack instance.
+
+JSON Output
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* All JSON keys are to be camelCased, with no spaces
+* Commands which output JSON should produce ``{}`` if they have nothing to
+  display
+
+Use of const
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Please consider using ``const`` when possible: it's a useful hint to
+callers about the limits to side-effects from your apis, and it makes
+it possible to use your apis in paths that involve ``const``
+objects. If you encounter existing apis that *could* be ``const``,
+consider including changes in your own pull-request.
+
+Help with specific warnings
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRR's configure script enables a whole batch of extra warnings, some of which
+may not be obvious in how to fix.  Here are some notes on specific warnings:
+
+* ``-Wstrict-prototypes``:  you probably just forgot the ``void`` in a function
+  declaration with no parameters, i.e. ``static void foo() {...}`` rather than
+  ``static void foo(void) {...}``.
+
+  Without the ``void``, in C, it's a function with *unspecified* parameters
+  (and varargs calling convention.)  This is a notable difference to C++, where
+  the ``void`` is optional and an empty parameter list means no parameters.
+
+* ``"strict match required"`` from the frr-format plugin:  check if you are
+  using a cast in a printf parameter list.  The frr-format plugin cannot
+  access correct full type information for casts like
+  ``printfrr(..., (uint64_t)something, ...)`` and will print incorrect
+  warnings particularly if ``uint64_t``, ``size_t`` or ``ptrdiff_t`` are
+  involved.  The problem is *not* triggered with a variable or function return
+  value of the exact same type (without a cast).
+
+  Since these cases are very rare, community consensus is to just work around
+  the warning even though the code might be correct.  If you are running into
+  this, your options are:
+
+  1. try to avoid the cast altogether, maybe using a different printf format
+     specifier (e.g. ``%lu`` instead of ``%zu`` or ``PRIu64``).
+  2. fix the type(s) of the function/variable/struct member being printed
+  3. create a temporary variable with the value and print that without a cast
+     (this is the last resort and was not necessary anywhere so far.)

+Documentation
+=============
+
+FRR uses Sphinx+RST as its documentation system. The document you are currently
+reading was generated by Sphinx from RST source in
+:file:`doc/developer/workflow.rst`. The documentation is structured as follows:
+
++-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+| Directory             | Contents                                  |
++=======================+===========================================+
+| :file:`doc/user`      | User documentation; configuration guides; |
+|                       | protocol overviews                        |
++-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+| :file:`doc/developer` | Developer's documentation; API specs;     |
+|                       | datastructures; architecture overviews;   |
+|                       | project management procedure              |
++-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+| :file:`doc/manpages`  | Source for manpages                       |
++-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+| :file:`doc/figures`   | Images and diagrams                       |
++-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+| :file:`doc/extra`     | Miscellaneous Sphinx extensions, scripts, |
+|                       | customizations, etc.                      |
++-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
+
+Each of these directories, with the exception of :file:`doc/figures` and
+:file:`doc/extra`, contains a Sphinx-generated Makefile and configuration
+script :file:`conf.py` used to set various document parameters. The makefile
+can be used for a variety of targets; invoke `make help` in any of these
+directories for a listing of available output formats. For convenience, there
+is a top-level :file:`Makefile.am` that has targets for PDF and HTML
+documentation for both developer and user documentation, respectively. That
+makefile is also responsible for building manual pages packed with distribution
+builds.
+
+Indent and styling should follow existing conventions:
+
+- 3 spaces for indents under directives
+- Cross references may contain only lowercase alphanumeric characters and
+  hyphens ('-')
+- Lines wrapped to 80 characters where possible
+
+Characters for header levels should follow Python documentation guide:
+
+- ``#`` with overline, for parts
+- ``*`` with overline, for chapters
+- ``=``, for sections
+- ``-``, for subsections
+- ``^``, for subsubsections
+- ``"``, for paragraphs
+
+After you have made your changes, please make sure that you can invoke
+``make latexpdf`` and ``make html`` with no warnings.
+
+The documentation is currently incomplete and needs love. If you find a broken
+cross-reference, figure, dead hyperlink, style issue or any other nastiness we
+gladly accept documentation patches.
+
+To build the docs, please ensure you have installed a recent version of
+`Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/install.html>`_. If you want to
+build LaTeX or PDF docs, you will also need a full LaTeX distribution
+installed.
+
+Code
+----
+
+FRR is a large and complex software project developed by many different people
+over a long period of time. Without adequate documentation, it can be
+exceedingly difficult to understand code segments, APIs and other interfaces.
+In the interest of keeping the project healthy and maintainable, you should
+make every effort to document your code so that other people can understand
+what it does without needing to closely read the code itself.
+
+Some specific guidelines that contributors should follow are:
+
+- Functions exposed in header files should have descriptive comments above
+  their signatures in the header file. At a minimum, a function comment should
+  contain information about the return value, parameters, and a general summary
+  of the function's purpose.  Documentation on parameter values can be omitted
+  if it is (very) obvious what they are used for.
+
+  Function comments must follow the style for multiline comments laid out in
+  the kernel style guide.
+
+  Example:
+
+  .. code-block:: c
+
+     /*
+      * Determines whether or not a string is cool.
+      *
+      * text
+      *    the string to check for coolness
+      *
+      * is_clccfc
+      *    whether capslock is cruise control for cool
+      *
+      * Returns:
+      *    7 if the text is cool, 0 otherwise
+      */
+     int check_coolness(const char *text, bool is_clccfc);
+
+  Function comments should make it clear what parameters and return values are
+  used for.
+
+- Static functions should have descriptive comments in the same form as above
+  if what they do is not immediately obvious. Use good engineering judgement
+  when deciding whether a comment is necessary.  If you are unsure, document
+  your code.
+- Global variables, static or not, should have a comment describing their use.
+- **For new code in lib/, these guidelines are hard requirements.**
+
+If you make significant changes to portions of the codebase covered in the
+Developer's Manual, add a major subsystem or feature, or gain arcane mastery of
+some undocumented or poorly documented part of the codebase, please document
+your work so others can benefit. If you add a major feature or introduce a new
+API, please document the architecture and API to the best of your abilities in
+the Developer's Manual, using good judgement when choosing where to place it.
+
+Finally, if you come across some code that is undocumented and feel like
+going above and beyond, document it! We absolutely appreciate and accept
+patches that document previously undocumented code.
+
+User
+----
+
+If you are contributing code that adds significant user-visible functionality
+please document how to use it in :file:`doc/user`. Use good judgement when
+choosing where to place documentation. For example, instructions on how to use
+your implementation of a new BGP draft should go in the BGP chapter instead of
+being its own chapter. If you are adding a new protocol daemon, please create a
+new chapter.
+
+FRR Specific Markup
+-------------------
+
+FRR has some customizations applied to the Sphinx markup that go a long way
+towards making documentation easier to use, write and maintain.
+
+CLI Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When documenting CLI please use the ``.. clicmd::`` directive. This directive
+will format the command and generate index entries automatically. For example,
+the command :clicmd:`show pony` would be documented as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: rest
+
+   .. clicmd:: show pony
+
+      Prints an ASCII pony. Example output:::
+
+              >>\.
+             /_  )`.
+            /  _)`^)`.   _.---. _
+           (_,' \  `^-)""      `.\
+                 |  | \
+                 \              / |
+                / \  /.___.'\  (\ (_
+               < ,"||     \ |`. \`-'
+                \\ ()      )|  )/
+         hjw    |_>|>     /_] //
+                  /_]        /_]
+
+
+When documented this way, CLI commands can be cross referenced with the
+``:clicmd:`` inline markup like so:
+
+.. code-block:: rest
+
+   :clicmd:`show pony`
+
+This is very helpful for users who want to quickly remind themselves what a
+particular command does.
+
+When documenting a cli that has a ``no`` form, please do not include the ``no``
+form. I.e. ``no show pony`` would not be documented anywhere. Since most
+commands have ``no`` forms, users should be able to infer these or get help
+from vtysh's completions.
+
+When documenting commands that have lots of possible variants, just document
+the single command in summary rather than enumerating each possible variant.
+E.g. for ``show pony [foo|bar]``, do not:
+
+.. code-block:: rest
+
+   .. clicmd:: show pony
+   .. clicmd:: show pony foo
+   .. clicmd:: show pony bar
+
+Do:
+
+.. code-block:: rest
+
+   .. clicmd:: show pony [foo|bar]
+
+
+Configuration Snippets
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When putting blocks of example configuration please use the
+``.. code-block::`` directive and specify ``frr`` as the highlighting language,
+as in the following example. This will tell Sphinx to use a custom Pygments
+lexer to highlight FRR configuration syntax.
+
+.. code-block:: rest
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      !
+      ! Example configuration file.
+      !
+      log file /tmp/log.log
+      service integrated-vtysh-config

+      ip route 1.2.3.0/24 reject
+      ipv6 route de:ea:db:ee:ff::/64 reject

+
+Introspection (xrefs)
+=====================
+
+The FRR library provides an introspection facility called "xrefs."  The intent
+is to provide structured access to annotated entities in the compiled binary,
+such as log messages and thread scheduling calls.
+
+Enabling and use
+----------------
+
+Support for emitting an xref is included in the macros for the specific
+entities, e.g. :c:func:`zlog_info` contains the relevant statements.  The only
+requirement for the system to work is a GNU compatible linker that supports
+section start/end symbols.  (The only known linker on any system FRR supports
+that does not do this is the Solaris linker.)
+
+To verify xrefs have been included in a binary or dynamic library, run
+``readelf -n binary``.  For individual object files, it's
+``readelf -S object.o | grep xref_array`` instead.
+
+Structure and contents
+----------------------
+
+As a slight improvement to security and fault detection, xrefs are divided into
+a ``const struct xref *`` and an optional ``struct xrefdata *``.  The required
+const part contains:
+
+.. c:member:: enum xref_type xref.type
+
+   Identifies what kind of object the xref points to.
+
+.. c:member:: int line
+.. c:member:: const char *xref.file
+.. c:member:: const char *xref.func
+
+   Source code location of the xref.  ``func`` will be ``<global>`` for
+   xrefs outside of a function.
+
+.. c:member:: struct xrefdata *xref.xrefdata
+
+   The optional writable part of the xref.  NULL if no non-const part exists.
+
+The optional non-const part has:
+
+.. c:member:: const struct xref *xrefdata.xref
+
+   Pointer back to the constant part.  Since circular pointers are close to
+   impossible to emit from inside a function body's static variables, this
+   is initialized at startup.
+
+.. c:member:: char xrefdata.uid[16]
+
+   Unique identifier, see below.
+
+.. c:member:: const char *xrefdata.hashstr
+.. c:member:: uint32_t xrefdata.hashu32[2]
+
+   Input to unique identifier calculation.  These should encompass all
+   details needed to make an xref unique.  If more than one string should
+   be considered, use string concatenation for the initializer.
+
+Both structures can be extended by embedding them in a larger type-specific
+struct, e.g. ``struct xref_logmsg *``.
+
+Unique identifiers
+------------------
+
+All xrefs that have a writable ``struct xrefdata *`` part are assigned an
+unique identifier, which is formed as base32 (crockford) SHA256 on:
+
+- the source filename
+- the ``hashstr`` field
+- the ``hashu32`` fields
+
+.. note::
+
+   Function names and line numbers are intentionally not included to allow
+   moving items within a file without affecting the identifier.
+
+For running executables, this hash is calculated once at startup.  When
+directly reading from an ELF file with external tooling, the value must be
+calculated when necessary.
+
+The identifiers have the form ``AXXXX-XXXXX`` where ``X`` is
+``0-9, A-Z except I,L,O,U`` and ``A`` is ``G-Z except I,L,O,U`` (i.e. the
+identifiers always start with a letter.)  When reading identifiers from user
+input, ``I`` and ``L`` should be replaced with ``1`` and ``O`` should be
+replaced with ``0``.  There are 49 bits of entropy in this identifier.
+
+Underlying machinery
+--------------------
+
+Xrefs are nothing other than global variables with some extra glue to make
+them possible to find from the outside by looking at the binary.  The first
+non-obvious part is that they can occur inside of functions, since they're
+defined as ``static``.  They don't have a visible name -- they don't need one.
+
+To make finding these variables possible, another global variable, a pointer
+to the first one, is created in the same way.  However, it is put in a special
+ELF section through ``__attribute__((section("xref_array")))``.  This is the
+section you can see with readelf.
+
+Finally, on the level of a whole executable or library, the linker will stuff
+the individual pointers consecutive to each other since they're in the same
+section — hence the array.  Start and end of this array is given by the
+linker-autogenerated ``__start_xref_array`` and ``__stop_xref_array`` symbols.
+Using these, both a constructor to run at startup as well as an ELF note are
+created.
+
+The ELF note is the entrypoint for externally retrieving xrefs from a binary
+without having to run it.  It can be found by walking through the ELF data
+structures even if the binary has been fully stripped of debug and section
+information.  SystemTap's SDT probes & LTTng's trace points work in the same
+way (though they emit 1 note for each probe, while xrefs only emit one note
+in total which refers to the array.)  Using xrefs does not impact SystemTap
+or LTTng, the notes have identifiers they can be distinguished by.
+
+The ELF structure of a linked binary (library or executable) will look like
+this::
+
+  $ readelf --wide -l -n lib/.libs/libfrr.so
+
+  Elf file type is DYN (Shared object file)
+  Entry point 0x67d21
+  There are 12 program headers, starting at offset 64

+entry point.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Due to GCC bug 41091, the "xref_array" section is not correctly generated
+   for C++ code when compiled by GCC.  A workaround is present for runtime
+   functionality, but to extract the xrefs from a C++ source file, it needs
+   to be built with clang (or a future fixed version of GCC) instead.
+
+Extraction tool
+---------------
+
+The FRR source contains a matching tool to extract xref data from compiled ELF
+binaries in ``python/xrelfo.py``.  This tool uses CPython extensions
+implemented in ``clippy`` and must therefore be executed with that.
+
+``xrelfo.py`` processes input from one or more ELF file (.o, .so, executable),
+libtool object (.lo, .la, executable wrapper script) or JSON (output from
+``xrelfo.py``) and generates an output JSON file.  During standard FRR build,
+it is invoked on all binaries and libraries and the result is combined into
+``frr.json``.
+
+ELF files from any operating system, CPU architecture and endianness can be
+processed on any host.  Any issues with this are bugs in ``xrelfo.py``
+(or clippy's ELF code.)
+
+``xrelfo.py`` also performs some sanity checking, particularly on log
+messages.  The following options are available:
+
+.. option:: -o OUTPUT
+
+   Filename to write JSON output to.  As a convention, a ``.xref`` filename
+   extension is used.
+
+.. option:: -Wlog-format
+
+   Performs extra checks on log message format strings, particularly checks
+   for ``\t`` and ``\n`` characters (which should not be used in log messages).
+
+.. option:: -Wlog-args
+
+   Generates cleanup hints for format string arguments where
+   :c:func:`printfrr()` extensions could be used, e.g. replacing ``inet_ntoa``
+   with ``%pI4``.
+
+.. option:: --profile
+
+   Runs the Python profiler to identify hotspots in the ``xrelfo.py`` code.
+
+``xrelfo.py`` uses information about C structure definitions saved in
+``python/xrefstructs.json``.  This file is included with the FRR sources and
+only needs to be regenerated when some of the ``struct xref_*`` definitions
+are changed (which should be almost never).  The file is written by
+``python/tiabwarfo.py``, which uses ``pahole`` to extract the necessary data
+from DWARF information.

+
+Overview of the Zebra Protocol
+==============================
+
+The Zebra protocol (or ``ZAPI``) is used by protocol daemons to
+communicate with the **zebra** daemon.
+
+Each protocol daemon may request and send information to and from the
+**zebra** daemon such as interface states, routing state,
+nexthop-validation, and so on.  Protocol daemons may also install
+routes with **zebra**. The **zebra** daemon manages which routes are
+installed into the forwarding table with the kernel. Some daemons use
+more than one ZAPI connection. This is supported: each ZAPI session is
+identified by a tuple of: ``{protocol, instance, session_id}``. LDPD
+is an example: it uses a second, synchronous ZAPI session to manage
+label blocks. The default value for ``session_id`` is zero; daemons
+who use multiple ZAPI sessions must assign unique values to the
+sessions' ids.
+
+The Zebra protocol is a streaming protocol, with a common header. Version 0
+lacks a version field and is implicitly versioned. Version 1 and all subsequent
+versions have a version field.  Version 0 can be distinguished from all other
+versions by examining the 3rd byte of the header, which contains a marker value
+of 255 (in Quagga) or 254 (in FRR) for all versions except version 0. The
+marker byte corresponds to the command field in version 0, and the marker value
+is a reserved command in version 0.
+
+Version History
+---------------
+
+- Version 0
+
+  Used by all versions of GNU Zebra and all version of Quagga up to and
+  including Quagga 0.98. This version has no ``version`` field, and so is
+  implicitly versioned as version 0.
+
+- Version 1
+
+  Added ``marker`` and ``version`` fields, increased ``command`` field to 16
+  bits. Used by Quagga versions 0.99.3 through 0.99.20.
+
+- Version 2
+
+  Used by Quagga versions 0.99.21 through 0.99.23.
+
+- Version 3
+
+  Added ``vrf_id`` field. Used by Quagga versions 0.99.23 until FRR fork.
+
+- Version 4
+
+  Change marker value to 254 to prevent people mixing and matching Quagga and
+  FRR daemon binaries. Used by FRR versions 2.0 through 3.0.3.
+
+- Version 5
+
+  Increased VRF identifier field from 16 to 32 bits. Used by FRR versions 4.0
+  through 5.0.1.
+
+- Version 6
+
+  Removed the following commands:
+
+  * ZEBRA_IPV4_ROUTE_ADD
+  * ZEBRA_IPV4_ROUTE_DELETE
+  * ZEBRA_IPV6_ROUTE_ADD
+  * ZEBRA_IPV6_ROUTE_DELETE
+
+  Used since FRR version 6.0.
+
+
+Zebra Protocol Definition
+=========================
+
+Zebra Protocol Header Field Definitions
+---------------------------------------
+
+Length
+   Total packet length including this header.
+
+Marker
+   Static marker. The marker value, when it exists, is 255 in all versions of
+   Quagga. It is 254 in all versions of FRR. This is to allow version 0 headers
+   (which do not include version explicitly) to be distinguished from versioned
+   headers.
+
+Version
+   Zebra protocol version number. Clients should not continue processing
+   messages past the version field for versions they do not recognise.
+
+Command
+   The Zebra protocol command.

+Dataplane batching
+==================
+
+Dataplane batching is an optimization feature that reduces the processing 
+time involved in the user space to kernel space transition for every message we
+want to send.
+
+Design
+-----------
+
+With our dataplane abstraction, we create a queue of dataplane context objects
+for the messages we want to send to the kernel. In a separate pthread, we
+loop over this queue and send the context objects to the appropriate
+dataplane. A batching enhancement tightly integrates with the dataplane
+context objects so they are able to be batch sent to dataplanes that support
+it. 
+
+There is one main change in the dataplane code. It does not call
+kernel-dependent functions one-by-one, but instead it hands a list of work down
+to the kernel level for processing.
+
+Netlink
+^^^^^^^
+
+At the moment, this is the only dataplane that allows for batch sending
+messages to it.
+
+When messages must be sent to the kernel, they are consecutively added
+to the batch represented by the `struct nl_batch`. Context objects are firstly
+encoded to their binary representation. All the encoding functions use the same
+interface: take a context object, a buffer and a size of the buffer as an
+argument. It is important that they should handle a situation in which a message
+wouldn't fit in the buffer and return a proper error. To achieve a zero-copy
+(in the user space only) messages are encoded to the same buffer which will
+be passed to the kernel. Hence, we can theoretically hit the boundary of the
+buffer.
+
+Messages stored in the batch are sent if one of the conditions occurs:
+
+- When an encoding function returns the buffer overflow error. The context
+  object that caused this error is re-added to the new, empty batch.
+
+- When the size of the batch hits certain limit.
+
+- When the namespace of a currently being processed context object is
+  different from all the previous ones. They have to be sent through
+  distinct sockets, so the messages cannot share the same buffer.
+
+- After the last message from the list is processed.
+
+As mentioned earlier, there is a special threshold which is smaller than
+the size of the underlying buffer. It prevents the overflow error and thus
+eliminates the case, in which a message is encoded twice. 
+
+The buffer used in the batching is global, since allocating that big amount of
+memory every time wouldn't be most effective. However, its size can be changed
+dynamically, using hidden vtysh command: 
+``zebra kernel netlink batch-tx-buf (1-1048576) (1-1048576)``. This feature is
+only used in tests and shouldn't be utilized in any other place.
+
+For every failed message in the batch, the kernel responds with an error
+message. Error messages are kept in the same order as they were sent, so parsing the
+response is straightforward. We use the two pointer technique to match
+requests with responses and then set appropriate status of dataplane context
+objects. There is also a global receive buffer and it is assumed that whatever
+the kernel sends it will fit in this buffer. The payload of netlink error messages
+consists of a error code and the original netlink message of the request, so
+the batch response won't be bigger than the batch request increased by 
+some space for the headers.

+HELP AND VERSION
+----------------
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+   Print a short description of the daemon's command line options.
+
+.. option:: -v, --version
+
+   Print version and build information for the daemon.
+
+Both of these options inhibit normal operation and will immediately exit.
+
+PROCESS CONTROL
+---------------
+These options control background operation:
+
+.. option:: -d, --daemon
+
+   Launches the process in background/daemon mode, forking and detaching from the terminal.
+
+  The parent process will delay its exit until the daemon/child has finished its initialization and has entered its main loop. This is important for zebra startup because the other daemons will attempt to connect to zebra. A return from zebra -d guarantees its readiness to accept these connections.
+
+.. option:: -t, --terminal
+
+   Opens an interactive VTY session on the terminal, allowing for both state and configuration operations.  Note that the terminal starts operating after startup has completed and the configuration file has been loaded.
+
+   The process will exit when end of file is detected on the terminal.  It is possible to daemonize a process started with -t (but without -d) by sending SIGQUIT to the process (normally mapped to a ^\ keypress.)
+
+
+The combination of :option:`--daemon` and :option:`--terminal` will delay the daemon from going into background until the terminal session ends (by end of file.)
+
+If the process receives SIGINT (e.g. a ^C keypress) in this mode, it will exit instead of daemonizing.
+
+It is safe to suspend (SIGTSTP / ^Z) the terminal session opened by the previous two options;  this will only stop the terminal but not the protocol daemon itself (which runs in a separate second process.)
+
+CONFIGURATION AND PATHS
+-----------------------
+The following options control configuration and file system locations for frr processes:
+
+.. option:: -f, --config_file config-file
+
+   Specify a configuration file to be used instead of the default /etc/frr/<daemon>.conf file.
+
+   Note that the daemon will attempt to write to this file if the write file command is issued on its VTY interface or through vtysh.
+
+.. option:: -C, --dryrun
+
+   Load the configuration file and check its validity, then exit.
+
+.. option:: -i, --pid_file pid-file
+
+   Output a pid file to a location other than the default /var/run/frr/<daemon>.pid.
+
+.. option:: -z, --socket zclient-path
+
+   Override the path of the ZAPI socket used to communicate between zebra and the various protocol daemons. The default is /var/run/frr/zserv.api.  The value of this option must be the same across all daemons.
+
+.. option:: -N, --pathspace pathspace
+
+   Insert pathspace into all default paths, changing the defaults to:
+
+   /etc/frr/pathspace/<daemon>.conf
+   /var/run/frr/pathspace/<daemon>.pid
+   /var/run/frr/pathspace/<daemon>.vty
+   /var/run/frr/pathspace/zserv.api
+
+   ´.´ and ´/´ characters will not be accepted in pathspace, but the empty string will be accepted.
+
+   Note that this only changes the respective defaults, it has no effect on the respective path if the -f, -i, -z or --vty_socket options are used.
+
+   The purpose of this option is to easily group all file system related bits together for running multiple fully-separate "logical routers" on a system, particularly with Linux network namespaces.  Groups of daemons running with distinct pathspace values will be completely unaware of each other and not interact in any way.
+
+   This option does not do any system setup (like network namespaces.) This must be done by the user, for example by running:
+
+   ip netns exec namespace <daemon> -N namespace
+
+
+PROCESS CREDENTIALS
+-------------------
+.. option:: -u, --user user
+
+   (default: frr)
+
+.. option:: -g, --group group
+
+   (default: frr)
+
+   Change the user/group which the daemon will switch to.
+
+.. option:: -S, --skip_runas
+
+   Skip setting the process effective user and group.
+
+
+Note that there is an additional group, frrvty, which controls group ownership of the VTY sockets.  The name of this group cannot currently be changed, and user must be a member of this group.
+
+
+VTY SETUP
+---------
+These following options control the daemon's VTY (interactive command line) interface.  The interface is available over TCP, using the telnet protocol, as well as through the vtysh frontend.
+
+.. option:: -A, --vty_addr vty-addr
+
+   Specify an IP/IPv6 address to bind the TCP VTY interface to.  It is generally recommended to specify ::1 or 127.0.0.1.  For reasons of backwards compatibility, the default is to listen on all interfaces.
+
+.. option:: -P, --vty_port vty-port
+
+   Override the daemon's default TCP VTY port (each daemon has a different default value upwards of 2600, listed below.)  Specifying 0 disables the TCP VTY interface.
+
+   Default ports are:::
+
+      zebra           2601
+      ripd            2602
+      ripngd          2603
+      ospfd           2604
+      bgpd            2605
+      ospf6d          2606
+      isisd           2608
+      babeld          2609
+      nhrpd           2610
+      pimd            2611
+      ldpd            2612
+      eigrpd          2613
+      pbrd            2615
+      staticd         2616
+      bfdd            2617
+      fabricd         2618
+      vrrpd           2619
+
+   Port 2607 is used for ospfd's Opaque LSA API.
+
+.. option:: --vty_socket vty-path
+
+   Overrides the directory used for the <daemon>.vty sockets.  vtysh connects to these sockets in order to access each daemon's VTY.
+   Default: /var/run/frr[/<pathspace>]
+
+   NB: Unlike the other options, this option specifies a directory, not a full path.
+
+   This option is primarily used by the SNAP packaging system, its semantics may change.  It should not be necessary in most other scenarios.
+
+MODULE LOADING
+--------------
+frr supports optional dynamically loadable modules, although these can only be loaded at startup.  The set of available modules may vary across distributions and packages, and modules may be available for installation as separate packages.
+
+.. option:: -M, --module module[:options]
+
+   Load a module named module, optionally passing options to it.
+
+   If there is a ´/´ character in module, the value is assumed to be a pathname to a module.
+
+   If there is no ´/´ character, the module directory (see next option) is searched first for a module named "<daemon>_<module>.so", then for "<module>.so".  This allows for a module to exist in variations appropriate for particular daemons, e.g. zebra_snmp and bgp_snmp, with the correct one selected by -M snmp.
+
+   The meaning of options is specific to the module being loaded.  Most modules currently ignore it.
+
+   Modules are loaded in the order as listed on the command line.  This is not generally relevant.
+
+.. option:: --moduledir module-path
+
+   Look for modules in the module-path directory instead of the default /usr/lib/frr/modules.  (This path is not affected by the -N option.)
+
+The list of loaded modules can be inspected at runtime with the show modules VTY command.

+|DAEMON| is a routing component that works with the FRRouting routing engine.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+OPTIONS available for the |DAEMON| command:
+
+.. include:: common-options.rst
+
+.. option:: -p, --bgp_port <port>
+
+   Set the bgp protocol's port number. When port number is 0, that means do not
+   listen bgp port.
+
+.. option:: -l, --listenon
+
+   Specify a specific IP address for bgpd to listen on, rather than its default
+   of ``0.0.0.0`` / ``::``. This can be useful to constrain bgpd to an internal
+   address, or to run multiple bgpd processes on one host.
+
+.. option:: -n, --no_kernel
+
+   Do not install learned routes into the linux kernel.  This option is useful
+   for a route-reflector environment or if you are running multiple bgp
+   processes in the same namespace.  This option is different than the --no_zebra
+   option in that a ZAPI connection is made.
+
+.. option:: -e, --ecmp
+
+   Run BGP with a limited ecmp capability, that is different than what BGP
+   was compiled with.  The value specified must be greater than 0 and less
+   than or equal to the MULTIPATH_NUM specified on compilation.
+
+.. option:: -Z, --no_zebra
+
+   Do not communicate with zebra at all.  This is different than the --no_kernel
+   option in that we do not even open a ZAPI connection to the zebra process.
+
+.. option:: -s, --socket_size
+
+   When opening tcp connections to our peers, set the socket send buffer
+   size that the kernel will use for the peers socket.  This option
+   is only really useful at a very large scale.  Experimentation should
+   be done to see if this is helping or not at the scale you are running
+   at.
+
+LABEL MANAGER
+-------------
+
+.. option:: -I, --int_num
+
+   Set zclient id. This is required when using Zebra label manager in proxy mode.

+WATCHFRR
+********
+
+.. include:: defines.rst
+.. |DAEMON| replace:: watchfrr
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+|DAEMON| |synopsis-options-hv|
+
+|DAEMON| [option...] <daemon>...
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+|DAEMON| is a watchdog program that monitors the status of supplied frr daemons and tries to restart them in case they become unresponsive or shut down.
+
+To determine whether a daemon is running, it tries to connect to the daemon's VTY UNIX stream socket, and send echo commands to ensure the daemon responds. When the daemon crashes, EOF is received from the socket, so that |DAEMON| can react immediately.
+
+In order to avoid restarting the daemons in quick succession, you can supply the -m and -M options to set the minimum and maximum delay between the restart commands. The minimum restart delay is recalculated each time a restart is attempted.  If the time since the last restart attempt exceeds twice the value of -M, the restart delay is set to the value of -m, otherwise the interval is doubled (but capped at the value of -M).
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+.. option:: --dry
+
+   Run |DAEMON| in "dry-run" mode, only monitoring the specified daemons but not performing any start/stop/restart actions.
+
+.. option:: -d, --daemon
+
+   Run in daemon mode. When supplied, error messages are sent to Syslog instead of standard output (stdout).
+
+.. option:: -S <directory>, --statedir <directory>
+
+   Set the VTY socket directory (the default value is "/var/run/frr").
+
+.. option:: -N <name>, --pathspace <name>
+
+   Insert the given name into paths used by the FRR daemons.  This is appended
+   to the VTY socket directory and passed to the daemons which also add it to
+   their paths in /etc.
+
+.. option:: --netns[=<name>]
+
+   (Linux only.)  Switch network namespaces when starting watchfrr.  The name
+   defaults to the value passed with -N (which it should be used in conjunction
+   with.)  If the name is not specified, the option has no effect.
+
+   If the network namespace does not exist, it is created in a manner
+   compatible with iproute2.  Network namespaces are not removed by FRR, this
+   must be done with "ip netns delete".
+
+.. option:: -l <level>, --loglevel <level>
+
+   Set the logging level (the default value is "6"). The value should range from 0 (LOG_EMERG) to 7 (LOG_DEBUG), but higher number can be supplied if extra debugging messages are required.
+
+.. option:: --min-restart-interval <number>
+
+   Set the minimum number of seconds to wait between invocations of the daemon restart commands (the default value is "60").
+
+.. option:: --max-restart-interval <number>
+
+   Set the maximum number of seconds to wait between invocations of the daemon restart commands (the default value is "600").
+
+.. option:: -i <number>, --interval <number>
+
+   Set the status polling interval in seconds (the default value is "5").
+
+.. option:: -t <number>, --timeout <number>
+
+   Set the unresponsiveness timeout in seconds (the default value is "10").
+
+.. option:: -T <number>, --restart-timeout <number>
+
+   Set the restart (kill) timeout in seconds (the default value is "20"). If any background jobs are still running after this period has elapsed, they will be killed.
+
+.. option:: -p <filename>, --pid-file <filename>
+
+   Set the process identifier filename (the default value is "/var/run/frr/|DAEMON|.pid").
+
+.. option:: -b <string>, --blank-string <string>
+
+   When the supplied string is found in any of the command line option arguments (i.e., -r, -s, or -k), replace it with a space.
+
+   This is an ugly hack to circumvent problems with passing the command line arguments containing embedded spaces.
+
+.. option:: -v, --version
+
+   Display the version information and exit.
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+   Display the usage information and exit.
+
+The following 3 options specify scripts that |DAEMON| uses to perform start/stop/restart actions. Reasonable default values are built into watchfrr, so the use of these options should no longer be necessary:
+
+.. option:: -s command, --start-command command
+
+  Supply a Bourne shell command to start a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
+
+.. option:: -k command, --kill-command command
+
+   Supply a Bourne shell command to stop a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
+
+.. option:: -r command, --restart command
+
+   Supply a Bourne shell command to restart a single daemon. The command string should contain the '%s' placeholder to be substituted with the daemon name.
+
+PREVIOUS OPTIONS
+================
+Prior versions of |DAEMON| supported some additional options that no longer exist:::
+
+   -a, -A, -e, -R, -z
+
+The ``-a``, ``-A`` and ``-R`` options were used to select alternate monitoring modes that offered different patterns of restarting daemons. The "correct" mode (phased restart) is now the default. The -e and -z options used to disable some monitoring aspects, |DAEMON| now always has all monitoring features enabled.
+
+Removing these options should result in correct operation, if it does not please file a bug report.

+|DAEMON| |synopsis-options|
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+|DAEMON| is a routing manager that implements the zebra route engine. zebra supports all protocol daemons in the FRRouting suite.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+OPTIONS available for the |DAEMON| command:
+
+.. include:: common-options.rst
+
+.. option:: -b, --batch
+
+   Runs in batch mode, zebra parses its config and exits.
+
+.. option:: -s, --nl-bufsize <netlink-buffer-size>
+
+   Set netlink receive buffer size. There are cases where zebra daemon can't handle flood of netlink messages from kernel. If you ever see "recvmsg overrun" messages in zebra log, you are in trouble.
+
+   Solution is to increase receive buffer of netlink socket. Note that kernel < 2.6.14 doesn't allow increasing it over maximum value defined in /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max. If you want to do it, you have to increase maximum before starting zebra.
+
+   Note that this affects Linux only.
+
+
+.. option:: -n, --vrfwnetns
+
+   Enable namespace VRF backend. By default, the VRF backend relies on VRF-lite support from the Linux kernel. This option permits discovering Linux named network namespaces and mapping it to FRR VRF contexts.
+
+ROUTES
+------
+
+.. option:: -r, --retain
+
+   When the program terminates, do not flush routes installed by zebra from the kernel.

+.. |PROGRAM| replace:: mtracebis
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+|PROGRAM| |synopsis-options-hv|
+
+|PROGRAM| <multicast source> [<multicast group>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+|PROGRAM| is a program for initiating multicast traceroute, or "mtrace", queries.
+
+It can initiate two types of mtrace queries: weak and group.
+
+Weak tests whether the interfaces towards the source are multicast enabled and is
+initiated by supplying only the multicast source address.
+
+Group tests whether there is multicast routing protocol state for particular
+multicast group and is initiated by supplying mutlicast source and group.
+
+The first query sent is a full query, capable of crossing the network all the way
+to the source. If this fails, hop-by-hop queries are initiated.
+
+Hop-by-hop queries start by requesting only a response from the nearest router.
+Following that, next query is extended to the next two routers, and so on...
+until a set of routers is tested for connectivity.

+VTYSH
+*****
+
+.. include:: defines.rst
+.. |DAEMON| replace:: vtysh
+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+vtysh [ -b ]
+
+vtysh [ -E ] [ -d *daemon* ] [ -c *command* ]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+vtysh is an integrated shell for the FRRouting suite of protocol daemons.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+OPTIONS available for the vtysh command:
+
+.. option:: -b, --boot
+
+   Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if integrated config file is in use (not default in FRRouting). See Info file frr for more info.
+
+.. option:: -c, --command command
+
+   Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like -c option in any other shell - command is executed and vtysh exits.
+
+   It's useful for gathering info from FRRouting daemons or reconfiguring daemons from inside shell scripts, etc. Note that multiple commands may be executed by using more than one -c option and/or embedding linefeed characters inside the command string.
+
+.. option:: -d, --daemon daemon_name
+
+   Specify which daemon to connect to. By default, vtysh attempts to connect to all FRRouting daemons running on the system. With this flag, one can specify a single daemon to connect to instead. For example, specifying '-d ospfd' will connect only to ospfd. This can be particularly useful inside scripts with -c where the command is targeted for a single daemon.
+
+.. option:: -e, --execute command
+
+   Alias for -c. It's here only for compatibility with Zebra routing software and older FRR versions. This will be removed in future.
+
+.. option:: -E, --echo
+
+   When the -c option is being used, this flag will cause the standard vtysh prompt and command to be echoed prior to displaying the results. This is particularly useful to separate the results when executing multiple commands.
+
+.. option:: -C, --dryrun
+
+   When the -C option is being used, this flag will check the config for syntatic validity.
+
+.. option:: -m, --markfile
+
+   Mark the input file with context ends, useful for cleanup of a config file that has a lot of extraneous space and end markers
+
+.. option:: -n, --noerror
+
+   When executing cli that does not invoke a vtysh shell, if an error ocurrs ignore it for purposes of return codes from vtysh.
+
+.. option:: -H, --histfile
+
+   Override the history file for vtysh commands. You can set ``vtysh -H /dev/null`` to turn logging of at all.
+
+.. option:: -u, --user
+
+   Restrict access to configuration commands by preventing use of the "enable" command. This option provides the same limited "security" as password-protected telnet access. *This security should not be relied on in production environments.*
+
+   Caveat emptor: VTYSH was never designed to be a privilege broker and is not built using secure coding practices. No guarantees of security are provided for this option and under no circumstances should this option be used to provide any semblance of secure read-only access to FRR.
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+   Display a usage message on standard output and exit.
+
+ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+=====================
+VTYSH_PAGER
+   This should be the name of the pager to use. Default is more.
+
+VTYSH_HISTFILE
+   Override the history file for vtysh commands. Logging can be turned off using ``VTYSH_HISTFILE=/dev/null vtysh``.
+   Environment is preferred way to override the history file path over command line argument (-H/--histfile).
+
+FILES

+Changes 2013.07.01
+
+1. Feature enhancements
+
+  1.1 Update ospf_te.[c,h] in conformance to RFC3630 and clean the code.
+      Add new directive to enable MPLS-TE per interface instead of globally
+
+  1.2 Add support for RFC4970 "Router Information" and RFC5088 "PCE
+      Capabilities announcement".
+
+  1.3 Incorporate the mpls documentation into the main stream doc.
+
+----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * -----
+Changes 2001.12.03
+
+1. Bug fixes
+
+  1.1 Though a new member "oi" has added to "struct ospf_lsa" to control
+      flooding scope of type-9 Opaque-LSAs, the value was always NULL
+      because no one set it.
+
+  1.2 In the function "show_ip_ospf_database_summary()" and "show_lsa_
+      detail_adv_router()", VTY output for type-11 Opaque-LSAs did not
+      work properly.
+
+  1.3 URL for the opaque-type assignment reference has changed.
+
+  1.4 In the file "ospf_mpls_te.c", printf formats have changed to
+      avoid compiler warning messages; "%lu" -> "%u", "%lx" -> "%x".
+      Note that this hack depends on OS, compiler and their versions. 
+
+  1.5 One of attached documentation "opaque_lsa.txt" has changed to
+      reflect the latest coding.
+
+2. Feature enhancements
+
+  2.1 Knowing that it is an ugly hack, an "officially unallocated"
+      opaque-type value 0 has newly introduced as a "wildcard",
+      which matches to all opaque-type.
+      This value must not be flooded to the network, of course.
+
+  2.2 The Opaque-core module makes use of newly introduced hooks to
+      dispatch every LSDB change (LSA installation and deletion) to
+      preregistered opaque users.
+      Therefore, by providing appropriate callback functions as new
+      parameters of "ospf_register_opaque_functab()", an opaque user
+      can refer to every LSA instance to be installed into, or to be
+      deleted from, the LSDB.
+
+----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * -----
+Changes 2001.10.31
+
+1. Bug fixes
+
+  1.1 Since each LSA has their own lifetime, they will remain in a
+      routing domain (being stored in LSDB of each router), until their
+      age naturally reach to MaxAge or explicitly being flushed by the
+      originated router. Therefore, if a router restarted with a short
+      downtime, it is possible that previously flooded self-originated
+      LSAs might received if the NSM status is not less than Exchange.
+
+      There were some problems in the way of handling self-originated
+      Opaque-LSAs if they are contained in a received LSUpd message,
+      but not installed to the local LSDB yet.
+      Regardless of some conditions to start originating Opaque-LSAs
+      (there should be at least one opaque-capable full-state neighbor),
+      the function "ospf_flood()" will be called to flood and install
+      this brand-new looking LSA.
+      As the result, when the NSM of an opaque-capable neighbor gets
+      full, internal state inconsistency happens; a user of Opaque-LSA
+      such as MPLS-TE can refer to self-originated LSAs in the local
+      LSDB, but cannot modify their contents...
+
+      Above problems have fixed with a policy "flush it from the whole
+      routing domain and keep silent until the flushing completed".
+      By using this sweeping technique, we can be free from confusion
+      caused by self-originated LSAs received via network. 
+
+  1.2 The function "ospf_opaque_type_name()" contained massive ifdefs
+      corresponding to each "opaque-type".
+      These unnecessary ifdefs are removed completely.
+
+  1.3 In the function "ospf_delete_opaque_functab()", there was an
+      improper loop control that causes illegal memory access.
+      Original coding was "next = nextnode (node)".
+
+  1.4 The function "ospf_mpls_te_ism_change()" could not handle the
+      case when the ISM changes from Waiting to DR/BDR/Other.
+      So, there was a case that even if one of an ISM become
+      operational and MPLS-TE module has started, the corresponding
+      Opaque-LSA cannot be originated.
+
+  1.5 The function "ospf_opaque_lsa_reoriginate_schedule()" did not
+      allow to be called multiple times, simply because handling
+      module for the given "lsa-type & opaque-type" already exists.
+      But this assumption seems to be wrong.
+      Change the policy to allow this function to be called multiple
+      times and let the caller to decide what should do when the
+      corresponding callback function "(* functab->lsa_originator)()"
+      is called.
+
+2. Feature enhancements
+
+  2.1 The global bitmap "opaque" has introduced instead of former flag
+      "OpaqueCapable", to store complex conditions to handle Opaque-LSAs.
+
+  2.2 The MPLS-TE module now referes to "draft-katz-yeung-ospf-traffic
+      -06.txt", no significant changes with 05 version, though.
+
+----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * ----- * -----
+Changes 2001.08.03
+
+1. Bug fixes
+
+  1.1 Even if the ospfd started with opaque capability enabled, when
+      the ospfd receives an unknown opaque-type (unregistered by the
+      function "ospf_register_opaque_functab()" beforehand), the LSA
+      was discarded. As the result, only the opaque-LSAs that have
+      commonly registered by opaque-capable ospf routers can be
+      flooded in a routing domain.
+
+      This behavior has fixed so that arbitrary opaque-type LSAs can
+      be flooded among opaque-capable ospf routers.
+      If the ospfd has opaque-LSA capability but disabled at runtime,
+      received opaque-LSAs can be accepted and registered to LSDB as
+      is, but not be flooded to the network; those opaque LSAs will
+      remain in LSDB until explicitly flushed by incoming LSUpd
+      messages with MaxAge, or their age naturally reaches to MaxAge.
+
+  1.2 The function "ospf_register_opaque_functab()" did not check
+      if the entry corresponding to the given "lsa-type, opaque-type"
+      combination already exists or not.
+      This problem has fixed not to allow multiple registration.
+
+  1.3 Since type-11 (AS external) LSAs will be flooded beyond areas,
+      there is little relationship between "struct lsa" and "struct
+      area". More specifically, the pointer address "lsa->area" can
+      be NULL if the lsa-type is 11, thus an illegal memory access
+      will happen. This problem has fixed.
+
+  1.4 When self-originated opaque-LSAs are received via network and
+      if the corresponding opaque-type functions are not available
+      (they have already deleted) at that time, those LSAs were
+      dropped due to "unknown opaque-type" error.
+      After the problem 1.1 has fixed, those "self-originated" LSAs
+      were registered to LSDB and then flooded to the network, even
+      if the processing functions did not exist...
+
+      After all, this problem has fixed so that those LSAs should
+      explicitly be flushed from the routing domain immediately, if
+      the processing functions cannot find at that time.
+
+  1.5 Some typo have fixed.
+
+      --- EXAMPLE ---
+      static int
+      opaque_lsa_originate_callback (list funclist, void *lsa_type_dependent)
+                                                          ^^^^^
+      --- EXAMPLE ---
+
+2. Feature enhancements
+
+  2.1 According to the description of rfc2328 in section 10.8, any
+      change in the router's optional capabilities should trigger
+      the option re-negotiation procedures with neighbors.
+
+      --- EXCERPT ---
+                              If for some reason the router's optional
+        capabilities change, the Database Exchange procedure should be
+        restarted by reverting to neighbor state ExStart.
+      --- EXCERPT ---
+
+      For the opaque-capability changes, this feature has implemented.
+      More specifically, if "ospf opaque-lsa" or "no ospf opaque-lsa"
+      VTY command is given at runtime, all self-originated LSAs will
+      be flushed immediately and then all neighbor status will be
+      forced to ExStart by generating SeqNumberMismatch events.
+
+  2.1 When we change opaque-capability dynamically (ON -> OFF -> ON),
+      there was no trigger at "OFF->ON" timing to reactivate opaque
+      LSA handling modules (such as MPLS-TE) that have once forcibly
+      stopped at "ON->OFF" timing.
+      Now this dynamic reactivation feature has added.
+
+  2.2 The MPLS-TE module now referes to "draft-katz-yeung-ospf-traffic
+      -05.txt", no significant changes with 04 version, though.

+
+*****
+Babel
+*****
+
+Babel is an interior gateway protocol that is suitable both for wired networks
+and for wireless mesh networks.  Babel has been described as 'RIP on speed' --
+it is based on the same principles as RIP, but includes a number of refinements
+that make it react much faster to topology changes without ever counting to
+infinity, and allow it to perform reliable link quality estimation on wireless
+links.  Babel is a double-stack routing protocol, meaning that a single Babel
+instance is able to perform routing for both IPv4 and IPv6.
+
+FRR implements Babel as described in :rfc:`6126`.
+
+.. _configuring-babeld:
+
+Configuring babeld
+==================
+
+The *babeld* daemon can be invoked with any of the common
+options (:ref:`common-invocation-options`).
+
+The *zebra* daemon must be running before *babeld* is
+invoked. Also, if *zebra* is restarted then *babeld*
+must be too.
+
+Configuration of *babeld* is done in its configuration file
+:file:`babeld.conf`.
+
+.. _babel-configuration:
+
+Babel configuration
+===================
+
+.. clicmd:: router babel
+
+   Enable or disable Babel routing.
+
+.. clicmd:: babel diversity
+
+   Enable or disable routing using radio frequency diversity.  This is
+   highly recommended in networks with many wireless nodes.
+   If you enable this, you will probably want to set `babel
+   diversity-factor` and `babel channel` below.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel diversity-factor (1-256)
+
+   Sets the multiplicative factor used for diversity routing, in units of
+   1/256; lower values cause diversity to play a more important role in
+   route selection.  The default it 256, which means that diversity plays
+   no role in route selection; you will probably want to set that to 128
+   or less on nodes with multiple independent radios.
+
+.. clicmd:: network IFNAME
+
+   Enable or disable Babel on the given interface.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel <wired|wireless>
+
+   Specifies whether this interface is wireless, which disables a number
+   of optimisations that are only correct on wired interfaces.
+   Specifying `wireless` (the default) is always correct, but may
+   cause slower convergence and extra routing traffic.
+
+.. clicmd:: babel split-horizon
+
+   Specifies whether to perform split-horizon on the interface.  Specifying
+   ``no babel split-horizon`` is always correct, while ``babel
+   split-horizon`` is an optimisation that should only be used on symmetric
+   and transitive (wired) networks.  The default is ``babel split-horizon``
+   on wired interfaces, and ``no babel split-horizon`` on wireless
+   interfaces.  This flag is reset when the wired/wireless status of an
+   interface is changed.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel hello-interval (20-655340)
+
+   Specifies the time in milliseconds between two scheduled hellos.  On
+   wired links, Babel notices a link failure within two hello intervals;
+   on wireless links, the link quality value is reestimated at every
+   hello interval.  The default is 4000 ms.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel update-interval (20-655340)
+
+   Specifies the time in milliseconds between two scheduled updates.  Since
+   Babel makes extensive use of triggered updates, this can be set to fairly
+   high values on links with little packet loss.  The default is 20000 ms.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel channel (1-254)
+.. clicmd:: babel channel interfering
+.. clicmd:: babel channel noninterfering
+
+   Set the channel number that diversity routing uses for this interface (see
+   `babel diversity` above).  Noninterfering interfaces are assumed to only
+   interfere with themselves, interfering interfaces are assumed to interfere
+   with all other channels except noninterfering channels, and interfaces with
+   a channel number interfere with interfering interfaces and interfaces with
+   the same channel number.  The default is ``babel channel interfering`` for
+   wireless interfaces, and ``babel channel noninterfering`` for wired
+   interfaces.  This is reset when the wired/wireless status of an interface is
+   changed.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel rxcost (1-65534)
+
+   Specifies the base receive cost for this interface.  For wireless
+   interfaces, it specifies the multiplier used for computing the ETX
+   reception cost (default 256); for wired interfaces, it specifies the
+   cost that will be advertised to neighbours.  This value is reset when
+   the wired/wireless attribute of the interface is changed.
+
+.. note::
+   Do not use this command unless you know what you are doing; in most
+   networks, acting directly on the cost using route maps is a better
+   technique.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel rtt-decay (1-256)
+
+   This specifies the decay factor for the exponential moving average of
+   RTT samples, in units of 1/256.  Higher values discard old samples
+   faster.  The default is 42.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel rtt-min (1-65535)
+
+   This specifies the minimum RTT, in milliseconds, starting from which we
+   increase the cost to a neighbour. The additional cost is linear in
+   (rtt - rtt-min).  The default is 10 ms.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel rtt-max (1-65535)
+
+   This specifies the maximum RTT, in milliseconds, above which we don't
+   increase the cost to a neighbour. The default is 120 ms.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel max-rtt-penalty (0-65535)
+
+   This specifies the maximum cost added to a neighbour because of RTT, i.e.
+   when the RTT is higher or equal than rtt-max. The default is 150. Setting it
+   to 0 effectively disables the use of a RTT-based cost.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel enable-timestamps
+
+   Enable or disable sending timestamps with each Hello and IHU message in
+   order to compute RTT values.  The default is `no babel enable-timestamps`.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel resend-delay (20-655340)
+
+   Specifies the time in milliseconds after which an 'important' request or
+   update will be resent.  The default is 2000 ms.  You probably don't want to
+   tweak this value.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: babel smoothing-half-life (0-65534)
+
+   Specifies the time constant, in seconds, of the smoothing algorithm used for
+   implementing hysteresis.  Larger values reduce route oscillation at the cost
+   of very slightly increasing convergence time.  The value 0 disables
+   hysteresis, and is suitable for wired networks.  The default is 4 s.
+
+.. _babel-redistribution:
+
+Babel redistribution
+====================
+
+
+.. clicmd:: redistribute <ipv4|ipv6> KIND
+
+   Specify which kind of routes should be redistributed into Babel.

+**************
+Basic Commands
+**************
+
+The following sections discuss commands common to all the routing daemons.
+
+.. _config-commands:
+
+Config Commands
+===============
+
+
+
+
+
+In a config file, you can write the debugging options, a vty's password,
+routing daemon configurations, a log file name, and so forth. This information
+forms the initial command set for a routing beast as it is starting.
+
+Config files are generally found in |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|.
+
+Config Methods
+--------------
+
+There are two ways of configuring FRR.
+
+Traditionally each of the daemons had its own config file. The daemon name plus
+``.conf`` was the default config file name. For example, zebra's default config
+file was :file:`zebra.conf`. This method is deprecated.
+
+Because of the amount of config files this creates, and the tendency of one
+daemon to rely on others for certain functionality, most deployments now use
+"integrated" configuration. In this setup all configuration goes into a single
+file, typically :file:`/etc/frr/frr.conf`. When starting up FRR using an init
+script or systemd, ``vtysh`` is invoked to read the config file and send the
+appropriate portions to only the daemons interested in them. Running
+configuration updates are persisted back to this single file using ``vtysh``.
+This is the recommended method. To use this method, add the following line to
+:file:`/etc/frr/vtysh.conf`:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   service integrated-vtysh-config
+
+If you installed from source or used a package, this is probably already
+present.
+
+If desired, you can specify a config file using the :option:`-f` or
+:option:`--config_file` options when starting a daemon.
+
+
+.. _basic-config-commands:
+
+Basic Config Commands
+---------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: hostname HOSTNAME
+
+   Set hostname of the router. It is only for current ``vtysh``, it will not be
+   saved to any configuration file even with ``write file``.
+
+.. clicmd:: domainname DOMAINNAME
+
+   Set domainname of the router. It is only for current ``vtysh``, it will not
+   be saved to any configuration file even with ``write file``.
+
+.. clicmd:: password PASSWORD
+
+   Set password for vty interface. The ``no`` form of the command deletes the
+   password. If there is no password, a vty won't accept connections.
+
+.. clicmd:: enable password PASSWORD
+
+   Set enable password. The ``no`` form of the command deletes the enable
+   password.
+
+.. clicmd:: service cputime-stats
+
+   Collect CPU usage statistics for individual FRR event handlers and CLI
+   commands.  This is enabled by default and can be disabled if the extra
+   overhead causes a noticeable slowdown on your system.
+
+   Disabling these statistics will also make the
+   :clicmd:`service cputime-warning (1-4294967295)` limit non-functional.
+
+.. clicmd:: service cputime-warning (1-4294967295)
+
+   Warn if the CPU usage of an event handler or CLI command exceeds the
+   specified limit (in milliseconds.)  Such warnings are generally indicative
+   of some routine in FRR mistakenly blocking/hogging the processing loop and
+   should be reported as a FRR bug.
+
+   The default limit is 5 seconds (i.e. 5000), but this can be changed by the
+   deprecated ``--enable-time-check=...`` compile-time option.
+
+   This command has no effect if :clicmd:`service cputime-stats` is disabled.
+
+.. clicmd:: service walltime-warning (1-4294967295)
+
+   Warn if the total wallclock time spent handling an event or executing a CLI
+   command exceeds the specified limit (in milliseconds.)  This includes time
+   spent waiting for I/O or other tasks executing and may produce excessive
+   warnings if the system is overloaded.  (This may still be useful to
+   provide an immediate sign that FRR is not operating correctly due to
+   externally caused starvation.)
+
+   The default limit is 5 seconds as above, including the same deprecated
+   ``--enable-time-check=...`` compile-time option.
+
+.. clicmd:: log trap LEVEL
+
+   These commands are deprecated and are present only for historical
+   compatibility. The log trap command sets the current logging level for all
+   enabled logging destinations, and it sets the default for all future logging
+   commands that do not specify a level. The normal default logging level is
+   debugging. The ``no`` form of the command resets the default level for
+   future logging commands to debugging, but it does not change the logging
+   level of existing logging destinations.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: log stdout LEVEL
+
+   Enable logging output to stdout. If the optional second argument specifying
+   the logging level is not present, the default logging level (typically
+   debugging) will be used. The ``no`` form of the command disables logging to
+   stdout. The ``LEVEL`` argument must have one of these values: emergencies,
+   alerts, critical, errors, warnings, notifications, informational, or
+   debugging. Note that the existing code logs its most important messages with
+   severity ``errors``.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      If ``systemd`` is in use and stdout is connected to systemd, FRR will
+      automatically switch to ``journald`` extended logging for this target.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      FRRouting uses the ``writev()`` system call to write log messages.  This
+      call is supposed to be atomic, but in reality this does not hold for
+      pipes or terminals, only regular files.  This means that in rare cases,
+      concurrent log messages from distinct threads may get jumbled in
+      terminal output.  Use a log file and ``tail -f`` if this rare chance is
+      inacceptable to your setup.
+
+.. clicmd:: log file [FILENAME [LEVEL]]
+
+   If you want to log into a file, please specify ``filename`` as
+   in this example:
+
+   ::
+
+      log file /var/log/frr/bgpd.log informational
+
+   If the optional second argument specifying the logging level is not present,
+   the default logging level (typically debugging, but can be changed using the
+   deprecated ``log trap`` command) will be used. The ``no`` form of the command
+   disables logging to a file.
+
+.. clicmd:: log syslog [LEVEL]
+
+   Enable logging output to syslog. If the optional second argument specifying
+   the logging level is not present, the default logging level (typically
+   debugging, but can be changed using the deprecated ``log trap`` command) will
+   be used. The ``no`` form of the command disables logging to syslog.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      This uses the system's ``syslog()`` API, which does not support message
+      batching or structured key/value data pairs.  If possible, use
+      :clicmd:`log extended EXTLOGNAME` with
+      :clicmd:`destination syslog [supports-rfc5424]` instead of this.
+
+.. clicmd:: log extended EXTLOGNAME
+
+   Create an extended logging target with the specified name.  The name has
+   no further meaning and is only used to identify the target.  Multiple
+   targets can be created and deleted with the ``no`` form.
+
+   Refer to :ref:`ext-log-target` for further details and suboptions.
+
+.. clicmd:: log monitor [LEVEL]
+
+   This command is deprecated and does nothing.
+
+.. clicmd:: log facility [FACILITY]
+
+   This command changes the facility used in syslog messages. The default
+   facility is ``daemon``. The ``no`` form of the command resets the facility
+   to the default ``daemon`` facility.
+
+.. clicmd:: log record-priority
+
+   To include the severity in all messages logged to a file, to stdout, or to
+   a terminal monitor (i.e. anything except syslog),
+   use the ``log record-priority`` global configuration command.
+   To disable this option, use the ``no`` form of the command. By default,
+   the severity level is not included in logged messages. Note: some
+   versions of syslogd can be configured to include the facility and
+   level in the messages emitted.
+
+.. clicmd:: log timestamp precision [(0-6)]
+
+   This command sets the precision of log message timestamps to the given
+   number of digits after the decimal point. Currently, the value must be in
+   the range 0 to 6 (i.e. the maximum precision is microseconds). To restore
+   the default behavior (1-second accuracy), use the ``no`` form of the
+   command, or set the precision explicitly to 0.
+
+   ::
+
+      log timestamp precision 3
+
+   In this example, the precision is set to provide timestamps with
+   millisecond accuracy.
+
+.. clicmd:: log commands
+
+   This command enables the logging of all commands typed by a user to all
+   enabled log destinations. The note that logging includes full command lines,
+   including passwords. If the daemon startup option `--command-log-always`
+   is used to start the daemon then this command is turned on by default
+   and cannot be turned off and the [no] form of the command is dissallowed.
+
+.. clicmd:: log filtered-file [FILENAME [LEVEL]]
+
+   Configure a destination file for filtered logs with the
+   :clicmd:`log filter-text WORD` command.
+
+.. clicmd:: log filter-text WORD
+
+   This command forces logs to be filtered on a specific string. A log message
+   will only be printed if it matches on one of the filters in the log-filter
+   table.  The filter only applies to file logging targets configured with
+   :clicmd:`log filtered-file [FILENAME [LEVEL]]`.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      Log filters help when you need to turn on debugs that cause significant
+      load on the system (enabling certain debugs can bring FRR to a halt).
+      Log filters prevent this but you should still expect a small performance
+      hit due to filtering each of all those logs.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      This setting is not saved to ``frr.conf`` and not shown in
+      :clicmd:`show running-config`.  It is intended for ephemeral debugging
+      purposes only.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear log filter-text
+
+   This command clears all current filters in the log-filter table.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: log immediate-mode
+
+   Use unbuffered output for log and debug messages; normally there is
+   some internal buffering.
+
+.. clicmd:: log unique-id
+
+   Include ``[XXXXX-XXXXX]`` log message unique identifier in the textual part
+   of log messages.  This is enabled by default, but can be disabled with
+   ``no log unique-id``.  Please make sure the IDs are enabled when including
+   logs for FRR bug reports.
+
+   The unique identifiers are automatically generated based on source code
+   file name, format string (before filling out) and severity.  They do not
+   change "randomly", but some cleanup work may cause large chunks of ID
+   changes between releases.  The IDs always start with a letter, consist of
+   letters and numbers (and a dash for readability), are case insensitive, and
+   ``I``, ``L``, ``O`` & ``U`` are excluded.
+
+   This option will not affect future logging targets which allow putting the
+   unique identifier in auxiliary metadata outside the log message text
+   content.  (No such logging target exists currently, but RFC5424 syslog and
+   systemd's journald both support it.)
+
+.. clicmd:: debug unique-id XXXXX-XXXXX backtrace
+
+   Print backtraces (call stack) for specific log messages, identified by
+   their unique ID (see above.)  Includes source code location and current
+   event handler being executed.  On some systems you may need to install a
+   `debug symbols` package to get proper function names rather than raw code
+   pointers.
+
+   This command can be issued inside and outside configuration mode, and is
+   saved to configuration only if it was given in configuration mode.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      Printing backtraces can significantly slow down logging calls and cause
+      log files to quickly balloon in size.  Remember to disable backtraces
+      when they're no longer needed.
+
+.. clicmd:: service password-encryption
+
+   Encrypt password.
+
+.. clicmd:: service advanced-vty
+
+   Enable advanced mode VTY.
+
+.. clicmd:: service terminal-length (0-512)
+
+   Set system wide line configuration. This configuration command applies to
+   all VTY interfaces.
+
+.. clicmd:: line vty
+
+   Enter vty configuration mode.
+
+.. clicmd:: banner motd default
+
+   Set default motd string.
+
+.. clicmd:: banner motd file FILE
+
+   Set motd string from file. The file must be in directory specified
+   under ``--sysconfdir``.
+
+.. clicmd:: banner motd line LINE
+
+   Set motd string from an input.
+
+.. clicmd:: exec-timeout MINUTE [SECOND]
+
+   Set VTY connection timeout value. When only one argument is specified
+   it is used for timeout value in minutes. Optional second argument is
+   used for timeout value in seconds. Default timeout value is 10 minutes.
+   When timeout value is zero, it means no timeout.
+
+   Not setting this, or setting the values to 0 0, means a timeout will not be
+   enabled.
+
+.. clicmd:: access-class ACCESS-LIST
+
+   Restrict vty connections with an access list.
+
+.. clicmd:: allow-reserved-ranges
+
+   Allow using IPv4 reserved (Class E) IP ranges for daemons. E.g.: setting
+   IPv4 addresses for interfaces or allowing reserved ranges in BGP next-hops.
+
+   Default: off.

+``!`` and ``#`` are comment characters. If the first character of the word is
+one of the comment characters then from the rest of the line forward will be
+ignored as a comment.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   password zebra!password
+
+If a comment character is not the first character of the word, it's a normal
+character. So in the above example ``!`` will not be regarded as a comment and
+the password is set to ``zebra!password``.
+
+
+Configuration versioning, profiles and upgrade behavior
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+All |PACKAGE_NAME| daemons share a mechanism to specify a configuration profile
+and version for loading and saving configuration.  Specific configuration
+settings take different default values depending on the selected profile and
+version.
+
+While the profile can be selected by user configuration and will remain over
+upgrades, |PACKAGE_NAME| will always write configurations using its current
+version.  This means that, after upgrading, a ``write file`` may write out a
+slightly different configuration than what was read in.
+
+Since the previous configuration is loaded with its version's defaults, but
+the new configuration is written with the new defaults, any default that
+changed between versions will result in an appropriate configuration entry
+being written out.  **FRRouting configuration is sticky, staying consistent
+over upgrades.**  Changed defaults will only affect new configuration.
+
+Note that the loaded version persists into interactive configuration
+sessions.  Commands executed in an interactive configuration session are
+no different from configuration loaded at startup.  This means that when,
+say, you configure a new BGP peer, the defaults used for configuration
+are the ones selected by the last ``frr version`` command.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Saving the configuration does not bump the daemons forward to use the new
+   version for their defaults, but restarting them will, since they will then
+   apply the new ``frr version`` command that was written out.  Manually
+   execute the ``frr version`` command in ``show running-config`` to avoid
+   this intermediate state.
+
+This is visible in ``show running-config``:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   Current configuration:
+   !
+   ! loaded from 6.0
+   frr version 6.1-dev
+   frr defaults traditional
+   !
+
+If you save and then restart with this configuration, the old defaults will
+no longer apply.  Similarly, you could execute ``frr version 6.1-dev``, causing
+the new defaults to apply and the ``loaded from 6.0`` comment to disappear.
+
+
+Profiles
+^^^^^^^^
+
+|PACKAGE_NAME| provides configuration profiles to adapt its default settings
+to various usage scenarios.  Currently, the following profiles are
+implemented:
+
+* ``traditional`` - reflects defaults adhering mostly to IETF standards or
+  common practices in wide-area internet routing.
+* ``datacenter`` - reflects a single administrative domain with intradomain
+  links using aggressive timers.
+
+Your distribution/installation may pre-set a profile through the ``-F`` command
+line option on all daemons.  All daemons must be configured for the same
+profile.  The value specified on the command line is only a pre-set and any
+``frr defaults`` statement in the configuration will take precedence.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The profile must be the same across all daemons.  Mismatches may result
+   in undefined behavior.
+
+You can freely switch between profiles without causing any interruption or
+configuration changes.  All settings remain at their previous values, and
+``show running-configuration`` output will have new output listing the previous
+default values as explicit configuration.  New configuration, e.g. adding a
+BGP peer, will use the new defaults.  To apply the new defaults for existing
+configuration, the previously-invisible old defaults that are now shown must
+be removed from the configuration.
+
+
+Upgrade practices for interactive configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you configure |PACKAGE_NAME| interactively and use the configuration
+writing functionality to make changes persistent, the following
+recommendations apply in regards to upgrades:
+
+1. Skipping major versions should generally work but is still inadvisable.
+   To avoid unneeded issue, upgrade one major version at a time and write
+   out the configuration after each update.
+
+2. After installing a new |PACKAGE_NAME| version, check the configuration
+   for differences against your old configuration.  If any defaults changed
+   that affect your setup, lines may appear or disappear.  If a new line
+   appears, it was previously the default (or not supported) and is now
+   necessary to retain previous behavior.  If a line disappears, it
+   previously wasn't the default, but now is, so it is no longer necessary.
+
+3. Check the log files for deprecation warnings by using ``grep -i deprecat``.
+
+4. After completing each upgrade, save the configuration and either restart
+   |PACKAGE_NAME| or execute ``frr version <CURRENT>`` to ensure defaults of
+   the new version are fully applied.
+
+
+Upgrade practices for autogenerated configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When using |PACKAGE_NAME| with generated configurations (e.g. Ansible,
+Puppet, etc.), upgrade considerations differ somewhat:
+
+1. Always write out a ``frr version`` statement in the configurations you
+   generate.  This ensures that defaults are applied consistently.
+
+2. Try to not run more distinct versions of |PACKAGE_NAME| than necessary.
+   Each version may need to be checked individually.  If running a mix of
+   older and newer installations, use the oldest version for the
+   ``frr version`` statement.
+
+3. When rolling out upgrades, generate a configuration as usual with the old
+   version identifier and load it.  Check for any differences or deprecation
+   warnings.  If there are differences in the configuration, propagate these
+   back to the configuration generator to minimize relying on actual default
+   values.
+
+4. After the last installation of an old version is removed, change the
+   configuration generation to a newer ``frr version`` as appropriate.  Perform
+   the same checks as when rolling out upgrades.
+

+
+   To understand system allocator statistics, refer to your system's
+   :manpage:`mallinfo(3)` man page.
+
+   Below these statistics, statistics on individual memory allocation types
+   in |PACKAGE_NAME| (so-called `MTYPEs`) is printed:
+
+   * the first column of numbers is the current count of allocations made for
+     the type (the number decreases when items are freed.)
+   * the second column is the size of each item.  This is only available if
+     allocations on a type are always made with the same size.
+   * the third column is the total amount of memory allocated for the
+     particular type, including padding applied by malloc.  This means that
+     the number may be larger than the first column multiplied by the second.
+     Overhead incurred by malloc's bookkeeping is not included in this, and
+     the column may be missing if system support is not available.
+
+   When executing this command from ``vtysh``, each of the daemons' memory
+   usage is printed sequentially. You can specify the daemon's name to print
+   only its memory usage.
+
+.. clicmd:: show history
+
+   Dump the vtysh cli history.
+
+.. clicmd:: logmsg LEVEL MESSAGE
+
+   Send a message to all logging destinations that are enabled for messages of
+   the given severity.
+
+.. clicmd:: find REGEX...
+
+   This command performs a regex search across all defined commands in all
+   modes. As an example, suppose you're in enable mode and can't remember where
+   the command to turn OSPF segment routing on is:
+
+   ::
+
+      frr# find segment-routing on
+        (ospf)  segment-routing on
+        (isis)  segment-routing on
+
+
+   The CLI mode is displayed next to each command. In this example,
+   :clicmd:`segment-routing on` is under the `router ospf` mode.
+
+   Similarly, suppose you want a listing of all commands that contain "l2vpn"
+   and "neighbor":
+
+   ::
+
+      frr# find l2vpn.*neighbor
+        (view)  show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn neighbors <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> advertised-routes [json]
+        (view)  show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn neighbors <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> routes [json]
+        (view)  show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn rd ASN:NN_OR_IP-ADDRESS:NN neighbors <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> advertised-routes [json]
+        (view)  show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn rd ASN:NN_OR_IP-ADDRESS:NN neighbors <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> routes [json]
+        ...
+
+
+   Note that when entering spaces as part of a regex specification, repeated
+   spaces will be compressed into a single space for matching purposes. This is
+   a consequence of spaces being used to delimit CLI tokens. If you need to
+   match more than one space, use the ``\s`` escape.
+
+   POSIX Extended Regular Expressions are supported.
+
+
+.. _common-show-commands:
+
+.. clicmd:: show thread cpu [r|w|t|e|x]
+
+   This command displays system run statistics for all the different event
+   types. If no options is specified all different run types are displayed
+   together.  Additionally you can ask to look at (r)ead, (w)rite, (t)imer,
+   (e)vent and e(x)ecute thread event types.  If you have compiled with
+   disable-cpu-time then this command will not show up.
+
+.. clicmd:: show thread poll
+
+   This command displays FRR's poll data.  It allows a glimpse into how
+   we are setting each individual fd for the poll command at that point
+   in time.
+
+.. clicmd:: show thread timers
+
+   This command displays FRR's timer data for timers that will pop in
+   the future.
+
+.. clicmd:: show yang operational-data XPATH [{format <json|xml>|translate TRANSLATOR|with-config}] DAEMON
+
+   Display the YANG operational data starting from XPATH. The default
+   format is JSON, but can be displayed in XML as well.
+
+   Normally YANG operational data are located inside containers marked
+   as `read-only`.
+
+   Optionally it is also possible to display configuration leaves in
+   addition to operational data with the option `with-config`. This
+   option enables the display of configuration leaves with their
+   currently configured value (if the leaf is optional it will only show
+   if it was created or has a default value).
+
+.. _common-invocation-options:
+
+Common Invocation Options
+=========================
+
+These options apply to all |PACKAGE_NAME| daemons.
+
+
+.. option:: -d, --daemon
+
+   Run in daemon mode.
+
+.. option:: -f, --config_file <file>
+
+   Set configuration file name.
+
+.. option:: -h, --help
+
+   Display this help and exit.
+
+.. option:: -i, --pid_file <file>
+
+   Upon startup the process identifier of the daemon is written to a file,
+   typically in :file:`/var/run`. This file can be used by the init system
+   to implement commands such as ``.../init.d/zebra status``,
+   ``.../init.d/zebra restart`` or ``.../init.d/zebra stop``.
+
+   The file name is an run-time option rather than a configure-time option so
+   that multiple routing daemons can be run simultaneously. This is useful when
+   using |PACKAGE_NAME| to implement a routing looking glass. One machine can
+   be used to collect differing routing views from differing points in the
+   network.
+
+.. option:: -A, --vty_addr <address>
+
+   Set the VTY local address to bind to. If set, the VTY socket will only be
+   bound to this address.
+
+.. option:: -P, --vty_port <port>
+
+   Set the VTY TCP port number. If set to 0 then the TCP VTY sockets will not
+   be opened.
+
+.. option:: -u <user>
+
+   Set the user and group to run as.
+
+.. option:: -N <namespace>
+
+   Set the namespace that the daemon will run in.  A "/<namespace>" will
+   be added to all files that use the statedir.  If you have "/var/run/frr"
+   as the default statedir then it will become "/var/run/frr/<namespace>".
+
+.. option:: -o, --vrfdefaultname <name>
+
+   Set the name used for the *Default VRF* in CLI commands and YANG models.
+   This option must be the same for all running daemons. By default, the name
+   is "default".
+
+   .. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf`
+
+.. option:: -v, --version
+
+   Print program version.
+
+.. option:: --command-log-always
+
+   Cause the daemon to always log commands entered to the specified log file.
+   This also makes the `no log commands` command dissallowed.  Enabling this
+   is suggested if you have need to track what the operator is doing on
+   this router.
+
+.. option:: --log <stdout|syslog|file:/path/to/log/file>
+
+   When initializing the daemon, setup the log to go to either stdout,
+   syslog or to a file.  These values will be displayed as part of
+   a show run.  Additionally they can be overridden at runtime if
+   desired via the normal log commands.
+
+.. option:: --log-level <emergencies|alerts|critical|errors|warnings|notifications|informational|debugging>
+
+   When initializing the daemon, allow the specification of a default
+   log level at startup from one of the specified levels.
+
+.. option:: --tcli
+
+   Enable the transactional CLI mode.
+
+.. option:: --limit-fds <number>
+
+   Limit the number of file descriptors that will be used internally
+   by the FRR daemons. By default, the daemons use the system ulimit
+   value.
+
+.. _loadable-module-support:
+
+Loadable Module Support
+=======================
+
+FRR supports loading extension modules at startup. Loading, reloading or
+unloading modules at runtime is not supported (yet). To load a module, use
+the following command line option at daemon startup:
+
+
+.. option:: -M, --module <module:options>
+
+   Load the specified module, optionally passing options to it. If the module
+   name contains a slash (/), it is assumed to be a full pathname to a file to
+   be loaded. If it does not contain a slash, the |INSTALL_PREFIX_MODULES|
+   directory is searched for a module of the given name; first with the daemon
+   name prepended (e.g. ``zebra_mod`` for ``mod``), then without the daemon
+   name prepended.
+
+   This option is available on all daemons, though some daemons may not have
+   any modules available to be loaded.
+
+
+The SNMP Module
+---------------
+
+If SNMP is enabled during compile-time and installed as part of the package,
+the ``snmp`` module can be loaded for the *Zebra*, *bgpd*, *ospfd*, *ospf6d*
+and *ripd* daemons.
+
+The module ignores any options passed to it. Refer to :ref:`snmp-support` for
+information on its usage.
+
+
+The FPM Module
+--------------
+
+If FPM is enabled during compile-time and installed as part of the package, the
+``fpm`` module can be loaded for the *zebra* daemon. This provides the
+Forwarding Plane Manager ("FPM") API.
+
+The module expects its argument to be either ``Netlink`` or ``protobuf``,
+specifying the encapsulation to use. ``Netlink`` is the default, and
+``protobuf`` may not be available if the module was built without protobuf
+support. Refer to :ref:`zebra-fib-push-interface` for more information.
+
+
+.. _virtual-terminal-interfaces:
+
+Virtual Terminal Interfaces

+
+VTY -- Virtual Terminal [aka TeletYpe] Interface is a command line
+interface (CLI) for user interaction with the routing daemon.

+------------
+
+VTY stands for Virtual TeletYpe interface. It means you can connect to
+the daemon via the telnet protocol.
+
+To enable a VTY interface, you have to setup a VTY password. If there
+is no VTY password, one cannot connect to the VTY interface at all.
+
+::

+.. _vty-modes:
+
+VTY Modes
+---------
+
+There are three basic VTY modes:
+
+There are commands that may be restricted to specific VTY modes.
+
+.. _vty-view-mode:
+
+VTY View Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This mode is for read-only access to the CLI. One may exit the mode by
+leaving the system, or by entering `enable` mode.
+
+.. _vty-enable-mode:
+
+VTY Enable Mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This mode is for read-write access to the CLI. One may exit the mode by
+leaving the system, or by escaping to view mode.
+
+.. _vty-other-modes:
+
+VTY Other Modes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This page is for describing other modes.
+
+.. _vty-cli-commands:
+
+VTY CLI Commands
+----------------
+
+Commands that you may use at the command-line are described in the following
+three subsubsections.
+
+.. _cli-movement-commands:
+
+CLI Movement Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These commands are used for moving the CLI cursor. The :kbd:`C` character
+means press the Control Key.
+
+:kbd:`C-f` / :kbd:`LEFT`
+   Move forward one character.
+
+:kbd:`C-b` / :kbd:`RIGHT`
+   Move backward one character.
+
+:kbd:`M-f`
+   Move forward one word.
+
+:kbd:`M-b`
+   Move backward one word.
+
+:kbd:`C-a`
+   Move to the beginning of the line.
+
+:kbd:`C-e`
+   Move to the end of the line.
+
+
+.. _cli-editing-commands:
+
+CLI Editing Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+These commands are used for editing text on a line. The :kbd:`C`
+character means press the Control Key.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-h` / :kbd:`DEL`
+   Delete the character before point.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-d`
+   Delete the character after point.
+
+
+:kbd:`M-d`
+   Forward kill word.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-w`
+   Backward kill word.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-k`
+   Kill to the end of the line.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-u`
+   Kill line from the beginning, erasing input.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-t`
+   Transpose character.
+
+
+CLI Advanced Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are several additional CLI commands for command line completions,
+insta-help, and VTY session management.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-c`
+   Interrupt current input and moves to the next line.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-z`
+   End current configuration session and move to top node.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-n` / :kbd:`DOWN`
+   Move down to next line in the history buffer.
+
+
+:kbd:`C-p` / :kbd:`UP`
+   Move up to previous line in the history buffer.
+
+
+:kbd:`TAB`
+   Use command line completion by typing :kbd:`TAB`.
+
+
+:kbd:`?`
+   You can use command line help by typing ``help`` at the beginning of the
+   line.  Typing :kbd:`?` at any point in the line will show possible
+   completions.
+
+Pipe Actions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+VTY supports optional modifiers at the end of commands that perform
+postprocessing on command output or modify the action of commands. These do not
+show up in the :kbd:`?` or :kbd:`TAB` suggestion lists.
+
+``... | include REGEX``
+   Filters the output of the preceding command, including only lines which
+   match the POSIX Extended Regular Expression ``REGEX``. Do not put the regex
+   in quotes.
+
+   Examples:
+
+   ::
+
+      frr# show ip bgp sum json | include remoteAs
+            "remoteAs":0,
+            "remoteAs":455,
+            "remoteAs":99,
+
+   ::

+Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
+**********************************
+
+:abbr:`BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection)` stands for
+Bidirectional Forwarding Detection and it is described and extended by
+the following RFCs:
+
+* :rfc:`5880`
+* :rfc:`5881`
+* :rfc:`5883`
+
+Currently, there are two implementations of the BFD commands in FRR:
+
+* :abbr:`PTM (Prescriptive Topology Manager)`: an external daemon which
+  implements BFD;
+* ``bfdd``: a BFD implementation that is able to talk with remote peers;
+
+This document will focus on the later implementation: *bfdd*.
+
+
+.. _bfd-starting:
+
+Starting BFD
+============
+
+*bfdd* default configuration file is :file:`bfdd.conf`. *bfdd* searches
+the current directory first then |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/bfdd.conf. All of
+*bfdd*'s command must be configured in :file:`bfdd.conf`.
+
+*bfdd* specific invocation options are described below. Common options
+may also be specified (:ref:`common-invocation-options`).
+
+.. program:: bfdd
+
+.. option:: --bfdctl <unix-socket>
+
+   Set the BFD daemon control socket location. If using a non-default
+   socket location::
+
+      /usr/lib/frr/bfdd --bfdctl /tmp/bfdd.sock
+
+
+   The default UNIX socket location is:
+
+      #define BFDD_CONTROL_SOCKET "|INSTALL_PREFIX_STATE|/bfdd.sock"
+
+   This option overrides the location addition that the -N option provides
+   to the bfdd.sock
+
+.. option:: --dplaneaddr <type>:<address>[<:port>]
+
+   Configure the distributed BFD data plane listening socket bind address.
+
+   One would expect the data plane to run in the same machine as FRR, so
+   the suggested configuration would be:
+
+      --dplaneaddr unix:/var/run/frr/bfdd_dplane.sock
+
+   Or using IPv4:
+
+      --dplaneaddr ipv4:127.0.0.1
+
+   Or using IPv6:
+
+      --dplaneaddr ipv6:[::1]
+
+   It is also possible to specify a port (for IPv4/IPv6 only):
+
+     --dplaneaddr ipv6:[::1]:50701
+
+   (if ommited the default port is ``50700``).
+
+   It is also possible to operate in client mode (instead of listening for
+   connections). To connect to a data plane server append the letter 'c' to
+   the protocol, example:
+
+     --dplaneaddr ipv4c:127.0.0.1
+
+.. note::
+
+   When using UNIX sockets don't forget to check the file permissions
+   before attempting to use it.
+
+
+.. _bfd-commands:
+
+BFDd Commands
+=============
+
+.. clicmd:: bfd
+
+   Opens the BFD daemon configuration node.
+
+.. clicmd:: peer <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X> [{multihop|local-address <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X>|interface IFNAME|vrf NAME}]
+
+   Creates and configures a new BFD peer to listen and talk to.
+
+   `multihop` tells the BFD daemon that we should expect packets with
+   TTL less than 254 (because it will take more than one hop) and to
+   listen on the multihop port (4784). When using multi-hop mode
+   `echo-mode` will not work (see :rfc:`5883` section 3).
+
+   `local-address` provides a local address that we should bind our
+   peer listener to and the address we should use to send the packets.
+   This option is mandatory for IPv6.
+
+   `interface` selects which interface we should use.
+
+   `vrf` selects which domain we want to use.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: profile WORD
+
+   Creates a peer profile that can be configured in multiple peers.
+
+   Deleting the profile will cause all peers using it to reset to the default
+   values.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: show bfd [vrf NAME] peers [json]
+
+    Show all configured BFD peers information and current status.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bfd [vrf NAME] peer <WORD|<A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X> [{multihop|local-address <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X>|interface IFNAME}]> [json]
+
+    Show status for a specific BFD peer.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bfd [vrf NAME] peers brief [json]
+
+    Show all configured BFD peers information and current status in brief.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bfd distributed
+
+   Show the BFD data plane (distributed BFD) statistics.
+
+
+.. _bfd-peer-config:
+
+Peer / Profile Configuration
+----------------------------
+
+BFD peers and profiles share the same BFD session configuration commands.
+
+.. clicmd:: detect-multiplier (2-255)
+
+   Configures the detection multiplier to determine packet loss. The
+   remote transmission interval will be multiplied by this value to
+   determine the connection loss detection timer. The default value is
+   3.
+
+   Example: when the local system has `detect-multiplier 3` and  the
+   remote system has `transmission interval 300`, the local system will
+   detect failures only after 900 milliseconds without receiving
+   packets.
+
+.. clicmd:: receive-interval (10-60000)
+
+   Configures the minimum interval that this system is capable of
+   receiving control packets. The default value is 300 milliseconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: transmit-interval (10-60000)
+
+   The minimum transmission interval (less jitter) that this system
+   wants to use to send BFD control packets. Defaults to 300ms.
+
+.. clicmd:: echo receive-interval <disabled|(10-60000)>
+
+   Configures the minimum interval that this system is capable of
+   receiving echo packets. Disabled means that this system doesn't want
+   to receive echo packets. The default value is 50 milliseconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: echo transmit-interval (10-60000)
+
+   The minimum transmission interval (less jitter) that this system
+   wants to use to send BFD echo packets. Defaults to 50ms.
+
+.. clicmd:: echo-mode
+
+   Enables or disables the echo transmission mode. This mode is disabled
+   by default. If you are not using distributed BFD then echo mode works
+   only when the peer is also FRR.
+
+   It is recommended that the transmission interval of control packets
+   to be increased after enabling echo-mode to reduce bandwidth usage.
+   For example: `transmit-interval 2000`.
+
+   Echo mode is not supported on multi-hop setups (see :rfc:`5883`
+   section 3).
+
+.. clicmd:: shutdown
+
+   Enables or disables the peer. When the peer is disabled an
+   'administrative down' message is sent to the remote peer.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: passive-mode
+
+   Mark session as passive: a passive session will not attempt to start
+   the connection and will wait for control packets from peer before it
+   begins replying.
+
+   This feature is useful when you have a router that acts as the
+   central node of a star network and you want to avoid sending BFD
+   control packets you don't need to.
+
+   The default is active-mode (or ``no passive-mode``).
+
+.. clicmd:: minimum-ttl (1-254)
+
+   For multi hop sessions only: configure the minimum expected TTL for
+   an incoming BFD control packet.
+
+   This feature serves the purpose of thightening the packet validation
+   requirements to avoid receiving BFD control packets from other
+   sessions.
+
+   The default value is 254 (which means we only expect one hop between
+   this system and the peer).
+
+
+BFD Peer Specific Commands
+--------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: label WORD
+
+   Labels a peer with the provided word. This word can be referenced
+   later on other daemons to refer to a specific peer.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: profile BFDPROF
+
+   Configure peer to use the profile configurations.
+
+   Notes:
+
+   - Profile configurations can be overridden on a peer basis by specifying
+     non-default parameters in peer configuration node.
+   - Non existing profiles can be configured and they will only be applied
+     once they start to exist.
+   - If the profile gets updated the new configuration will be applied to all
+     peers with the profile without interruptions.
+
+
+.. _bfd-bgp-peer-config:
+
+BGP BFD Configuration
+---------------------
+
+The following commands are available inside the BGP configuration node.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> bfd
+
+   Listen for BFD events registered on the same target as this BGP
+   neighbor. When BFD peer goes down it immediately asks BGP to shutdown
+   the connection with its neighbor and, when it goes back up, notify
+   BGP to try to connect to it.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> bfd check-control-plane-failure
+
+   Allow to write CBIT independence in BFD outgoing packets. Also allow to
+   read both C-BIT value of BFD and lookup BGP peer status. This command is
+   useful when a BFD down event is caught, while the BGP peer requested that
+   local BGP keeps the remote BGP entries as staled if such issue is detected.
+   This is the case when graceful restart is enabled, and it is wished to
+   ignore the BD event while waiting for the remote router to restart.
+
+   Disabling this disables presence of CBIT independence in BFD outgoing
+   packets and pays attention to BFD down notifications. This is the default.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> bfd profile BFDPROF
+
+   Same as command ``neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> bfd``, but applies the
+   BFD profile to the sessions it creates or that already exist.
+
+
+.. _bfd-isis-peer-config:
+
+IS-IS BFD Configuration
+-----------------------
+
+The following commands are available inside the interface configuration node.
+
+.. clicmd:: isis bfd
+
+   Listen for BFD events on peers created on the interface. Every time
+   a new neighbor is found a BFD peer is created to monitor the link
+   status for fast convergence.
+
+   Note that there will be just one BFD session per interface. In case both
+   IPv4 and IPv6 support are configured then just a IPv6 based session is
+   created.
+
+.. clicmd:: isis bfd profile BFDPROF
+
+   Use a BFD profile BFDPROF as provided in the BFD configuration.
+
+
+.. _bfd-ospf-peer-config:
+
+OSPF BFD Configuration
+----------------------
+
+The following commands are available inside the interface configuration node.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf bfd
+
+   Listen for BFD events on peers created on the interface. Every time
+   a new neighbor is found a BFD peer is created to monitor the link
+   status for fast convergence.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf bfd profile BFDPROF
+
+   Same as command ``ip ospf bfd``, but applies the BFD profile to the sessions
+   it creates or that already exist.
+
+
+.. _bfd-ospf6-peer-config:
+
+OSPF6 BFD Configuration
+-----------------------
+
+The following commands are available inside the interface configuration node.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 ospf6 bfd [profile BFDPROF]
+
+   Listen for BFD events on peers created on the interface. Every time
+   a new neighbor is found a BFD peer is created to monitor the link
+   status for fast convergence.
+
+   Optionally uses the BFD profile ``BFDPROF`` in the created sessions under
+   that interface.
+
+
+.. _bfd-pim-peer-config:
+
+PIM BFD Configuration
+---------------------
+
+The following commands are available inside the interface configuration node.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim bfd [profile BFDPROF]
+
+   Listen for BFD events on peers created on the interface. Every time
+   a new neighbor is found a BFD peer is created to monitor the link
+   status for fast convergence.
+
+   Optionally uses the BFD profile ``BFDPROF`` in the created sessions under
+   that interface.
+
+
+.. _bfd-configuration:
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Before applying ``bfdd`` rules to integrated daemons (like BGPd), we must
+create the corresponding peers inside the ``bfd`` configuration node.
+
+Here is an example of BFD configuration:
+
+::
+
+    bfd
+     peer 192.168.0.1
+       label home-peer
+       no shutdown
+     !
+    !
+    router bgp 65530
+     neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 65531
+     neighbor 192.168.0.1 bfd
+     neighbor 192.168.0.2 remote-as 65530
+     neighbor 192.168.0.2 bfd
+     neighbor 192.168.0.3 remote-as 65532
+     neighbor 192.168.0.3 bfd
+    !
+
+Peers can be identified by its address (use ``multihop`` when you need
+to specify a multi hop peer) or can be specified manually by a label.
+
+Here are the available peer configurations:
+
+::
+
+   bfd
+    ! Configure a fast profile
+    profile fast
+     receive-interval 150
+     transmit-interval 150
+    !
+
+    ! Configure peer with fast profile
+    peer 192.168.0.6
+     profile fast
+     no shutdown
+    !
+
+   ! Configure peer with fast profile and override receive speed.
+    peer 192.168.0.7
+     profile fast
+     receive-interval 500
+     no shutdown
+    !
+
+    ! configure a peer on an specific interface
+    peer 192.168.0.1 interface eth0
+     no shutdown
+    !
+
+    ! configure a multihop peer
+    peer 192.168.0.2 multihop local-address 192.168.0.3
+      shutdown

+    ! configure a peer in a different vrf
+    peer 192.168.0.3 vrf foo
+     shutdown
+    !
+
+    ! configure a peer with every option possible
+    peer 192.168.0.4
+     label peer-label
+     detect-multiplier 50
+     receive-interval 60000
+     transmit-interval 3000
+     shutdown
+    !
+
+    ! configure a peer on an interface from a separate vrf
+    peer 192.168.0.5 interface eth1 vrf vrf2
+     no shutdown
+    !
+
+    ! remove a peer
+    no peer 192.168.0.3 vrf foo
+
+
+.. _bfd-status:
+
+Status
+======
+
+You can inspect the current BFD peer status with the following commands:
+
+::
+
+   frr# show bfd peers

+.. _bfd-distributed:
+
+Distributed BFD
+===============
+
+The distributed BFD is the separation of the BFD protocol control plane from
+the data plane. FRR implements its own BFD data plane protocol so vendors can
+study and include it in their own software/hardware without having to modify
+the FRR source code. The protocol definitions can be found at
+``bfdd/bfddp_packet.h`` header (or the installed
+``/usr/include/frr/bfdd/bfddp_packet.h``).
+
+To use this feature the BFD daemon needs to be started using the command line
+option :option:`--dplaneaddr`. When operating using this option the BFD daemon
+will not attempt to establish BFD sessions, but it will offload all its work to
+the data plane that is (or will be) connected. Data plane reconnection is also
+supported.
+
+The BFD data plane will be responsible for:
+
+* Sending/receiving the BFD protocol control/echo packets
+
+* Notifying BFD sessions state changes
+
+* Keeping the number of packets/bytes received/transmitted per session
+
+
+The FRR BFD daemon will be responsible for:
+
+* Adding/updating BFD session settings
+
+* Asking for BFD session counters
+
+* Redistributing the state changes to the integrated protocols (``bgpd``,
+  ``ospfd`` etc...)
+
+
+BFD daemon will also keep record of data plane communication statistics with
+the command :clicmd:`show bfd distributed`.
+
+Sample output:
+
+::
+
+   frr# show bfd distributed
+               Data plane
+               ==========
+          File descriptor: 16
+              Input bytes: 1296
+         Input bytes peak: 72
+           Input messages: 42
+      Input current usage: 0
+             Output bytes: 568
+        Output bytes peak: 136
+          Output messages: 19
+       Output full events: 0
+     Output current usage: 0
+
+
+.. _bfd-debugging:
+
+Debugging
+=========
+
+By default only informational, warning and errors messages are going to be
+displayed. If you want to get debug messages and other diagnostics then make
+sure you have `debugging` level enabled:
+
+::
+
+   config
+   log file /var/log/frr/frr.log debugging
+   log syslog debugging
+
+You may also fine tune the debug messages by selecting one or more of the
+debug levels:
+
+.. clicmd:: debug bfd distributed
+
+   Toggle BFD data plane (distributed BFD) debugging.
+
+   Activates the following debug messages:
+
+   * Data plane received / send messages
+   * Connection events
+
+.. clicmd:: debug bfd network
+
+   Toggle network events: show messages about socket failures and unexpected
+   BFD messages that may not belong to registered peers.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug bfd peer
+
+   Toggle peer event log messages: show messages about peer creation/removal
+   and state changes.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug bfd zebra
+
+   Toggle zebra message events: show messages about interfaces, local
+   addresses, VRF and daemon peer registrations.

+***
+BGP
+***
+
+:abbr:`BGP` stands for Border Gateway Protocol. The latest BGP version is 4.
+BGP-4 is one of the Exterior Gateway Protocols and the de facto standard
+interdomain routing protocol. BGP-4 is described in :rfc:`1771` and updated by
+:rfc:`4271`. :rfc:`2858` adds multiprotocol support to BGP-4.
+
+.. _starting-bgp:
+
+Starting BGP
+============
+
+The default configuration file of *bgpd* is :file:`bgpd.conf`. *bgpd* searches
+the current directory first, followed by |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/bgpd.conf. All of
+*bgpd*'s commands must be configured in :file:`bgpd.conf` when the integrated
+config is not being used.
+
+*bgpd* specific invocation options are described below. Common options may also
+be specified (:ref:`common-invocation-options`).
+
+.. program:: bgpd
+
+.. option:: -p, --bgp_port <port>
+
+   Set the bgp protocol's port number. When port number is 0, that means do not
+   listen bgp port.
+
+.. option:: -l, --listenon
+
+   Specify specific IP addresses for bgpd to listen on, rather than its default
+   of ``0.0.0.0`` / ``::``. This can be useful to constrain bgpd to an internal
+   address, or to run multiple bgpd processes on one host. Multiple addresses
+   can be specified.
+
+   In the following example, bgpd is started listening for connections on the
+   addresses 100.0.1.2 and fd00::2:2. The options -d (runs in daemon mode) and
+   -f (uses specific configuration file) are also used in this example as we
+   are likely to run multiple bgpd instances, each one with different
+   configurations, when using -l option.
+
+   Note that this option implies the --no_kernel option, and no learned routes will be installed into the linux kernel.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # /usr/lib/frr/bgpd -d -f /some-folder/bgpd.conf -l 100.0.1.2 -l fd00::2:2
+
+.. option:: -n, --no_kernel
+
+   Do not install learned routes into the linux kernel.  This option is useful
+   for a route-reflector environment or if you are running multiple bgp
+   processes in the same namespace.  This option is different than the --no_zebra
+   option in that a ZAPI connection is made.
+
+   This option can also be toggled during runtime by using the
+   ``[no] bgp no-rib`` commands in VTY shell.
+
+   Note that this option will persist after saving the configuration during
+   runtime, unless unset by the ``no bgp no-rib`` command in VTY shell prior to
+   a configuration write operation.
+
+.. option:: -S, --skip_runas
+
+   Skip the normal process of checking capabilities and changing user and group
+   information.
+
+.. option:: -e, --ecmp
+
+   Run BGP with a limited ecmp capability, that is different than what BGP
+   was compiled with.  The value specified must be greater than 0 and less
+   than or equal to the MULTIPATH_NUM specified on compilation.
+
+.. option:: -Z, --no_zebra
+
+   Do not communicate with zebra at all.  This is different than the --no_kernel
+   option in that we do not even open a ZAPI connection to the zebra process.
+
+.. option:: -s, --socket_size
+
+   When opening tcp connections to our peers, set the socket send buffer
+   size that the kernel will use for the peers socket.  This option
+   is only really useful at a very large scale.  Experimentation should
+   be done to see if this is helping or not at the scale you are running
+   at.
+
+LABEL MANAGER
+-------------
+
+.. option:: -I, --int_num
+
+   Set zclient id. This is required when using Zebra label manager in proxy mode.
+
+.. _bgp-basic-concepts:
+
+Basic Concepts
+==============
+
+.. _bgp-autonomous-systems:
+
+Autonomous Systems
+------------------
+
+From :rfc:`1930`:
+
+   An AS is a connected group of one or more IP prefixes run by one or more
+   network operators which has a SINGLE and CLEARLY DEFINED routing policy.
+
+Each AS has an identifying number associated with it called an :abbr:`ASN
+(Autonomous System Number)`. This is a two octet value ranging in value from 1
+to 65535. The AS numbers 64512 through 65535 are defined as private AS numbers.
+Private AS numbers must not be advertised on the global Internet.
+
+The :abbr:`ASN (Autonomous System Number)` is one of the essential elements of
+BGP. BGP is a distance vector routing protocol, and the AS-Path framework
+provides distance vector metric and loop detection to BGP.
+
+.. seealso:: :rfc:`1930`
+
+.. _bgp-address-families:
+
+Address Families
+----------------
+
+Multiprotocol extensions enable BGP to carry routing information for multiple
+network layer protocols. BGP supports an Address Family Identifier (AFI) for
+IPv4 and IPv6. Support is also provided for multiple sets of per-AFI
+information via the BGP Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI). FRR
+supports SAFIs for unicast information, labeled information (:rfc:`3107` and
+:rfc:`8277`), and Layer 3 VPN information (:rfc:`4364` and :rfc:`4659`).
+
+.. _bgp-route-selection:
+
+Route Selection
+---------------
+
+The route selection process used by FRR's BGP implementation uses the following
+decision criterion, starting at the top of the list and going towards the
+bottom until one of the factors can be used.
+
+1. **Weight check**
+
+   Prefer higher local weight routes to lower routes.
+
+2. **Local preference check**
+
+   Prefer higher local preference routes to lower.
+
+3. **Local route check**
+
+   Prefer local routes (statics, aggregates, redistributed) to received routes.
+
+4. **AS path length check**
+
+   Prefer shortest hop-count AS_PATHs.
+
+5. **Origin check**
+
+   Prefer the lowest origin type route. That is, prefer IGP origin routes to
+   EGP, to Incomplete routes.
+
+6. **MED check**
+
+   Where routes with a MED were received from the same AS, prefer the route
+   with the lowest MED. :ref:`bgp-med`.
+
+7. **External check**
+
+   Prefer the route received from an external, eBGP peer over routes received
+   from other types of peers.
+
+8. **IGP cost check**
+
+   Prefer the route with the lower IGP cost.
+
+9. **Multi-path check**
+
+   If multi-pathing is enabled, then check whether the routes not yet
+   distinguished in preference may be considered equal. If
+   :clicmd:`bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax` is set, all such routes are
+   considered equal, otherwise routes received via iBGP with identical AS_PATHs
+   or routes received from eBGP neighbours in the same AS are considered equal.
+
+10. **Already-selected external check**
+
+    Where both routes were received from eBGP peers, then prefer the route
+    which is already selected. Note that this check is not applied if
+    :clicmd:`bgp bestpath compare-routerid` is configured. This check can
+    prevent some cases of oscillation.
+
+11. **Router-ID check**
+
+    Prefer the route with the lowest `router-ID`. If the route has an
+    `ORIGINATOR_ID` attribute, through iBGP reflection, then that router ID is
+    used, otherwise the `router-ID` of the peer the route was received from is
+    used.
+
+12. **Cluster-List length check**
+
+    The route with the shortest cluster-list length is used. The cluster-list
+    reflects the iBGP reflection path the route has taken.
+
+13. **Peer address**
+
+    Prefer the route received from the peer with the higher transport layer
+    address, as a last-resort tie-breaker.
+
+.. _bgp-capability-negotiation:
+
+Capability Negotiation
+----------------------
+
+When adding IPv6 routing information exchange feature to BGP. There were some
+proposals. :abbr:`IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)`
+:abbr:`IDR (Inter Domain Routing)` adopted a proposal called Multiprotocol
+Extension for BGP. The specification is described in :rfc:`2283`. The protocol
+does not define new protocols. It defines new attributes to existing BGP. When
+it is used exchanging IPv6 routing information it is called BGP-4+. When it is
+used for exchanging multicast routing information it is called MBGP.
+
+*bgpd* supports Multiprotocol Extension for BGP. So if a remote peer supports
+the protocol, *bgpd* can exchange IPv6 and/or multicast routing information.
+
+Traditional BGP did not have the feature to detect a remote peer's
+capabilities, e.g. whether it can handle prefix types other than IPv4 unicast
+routes. This was a big problem using Multiprotocol Extension for BGP in an
+operational network. :rfc:`2842` adopted a feature called Capability
+Negotiation. *bgpd* use this Capability Negotiation to detect the remote peer's
+capabilities. If a peer is only configured as an IPv4 unicast neighbor, *bgpd*
+does not send these Capability Negotiation packets (at least not unless other
+optional BGP features require capability negotiation).
+
+By default, FRR will bring up peering with minimal common capability for the
+both sides. For example, if the local router has unicast and multicast
+capabilities and the remote router only has unicast capability the local router
+will establish the connection with unicast only capability. When there are no
+common capabilities, FRR sends Unsupported Capability error and then resets the
+connection.
+
+.. _bgp-router-configuration:
+
+BGP Router Configuration
+========================
+
+ASN and Router ID
+-----------------
+
+First of all you must configure BGP router with the :clicmd:`router bgp ASN`
+command. The AS number is an identifier for the autonomous system. The BGP
+protocol uses the AS number for detecting whether the BGP connection is
+internal or external.
+
+.. clicmd:: router bgp ASN
+
+   Enable a BGP protocol process with the specified ASN. After
+   this statement you can input any `BGP Commands`.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp router-id A.B.C.D
+
+   This command specifies the router-ID. If *bgpd* connects to *zebra* it gets
+   interface and address information. In that case default router ID value is
+   selected as the largest IP Address of the interfaces. When `router zebra` is
+   not enabled *bgpd* can't get interface information so `router-id` is set to
+   0.0.0.0. So please set router-id by hand.
+
+
+.. _bgp-multiple-autonomous-systems:
+
+Multiple Autonomous Systems
+---------------------------
+
+FRR's BGP implementation is capable of running multiple autonomous systems at
+once. Each configured AS corresponds to a :ref:`zebra-vrf`. In the past, to get
+the same functionality the network administrator had to run a new *bgpd*
+process; using VRFs allows multiple autonomous systems to be handled in a
+single process.
+
+When using multiple autonomous systems, all router config blocks after the
+first one must specify a VRF to be the target of BGP's route selection. This
+VRF must be unique within respect to all other VRFs being used for the same
+purpose, i.e. two different autonomous systems cannot use the same VRF.
+However, the same AS can be used with different VRFs.
+
+.. note::
+
+   The separated nature of VRFs makes it possible to peer a single *bgpd*
+   process to itself, on one machine. Note that this can be done fully within
+   BGP without a corresponding VRF in the kernel or Zebra, which enables some
+   practical use cases such as :ref:`route reflectors <bgp-route-reflector>`
+   and route servers.
+
+Configuration of additional autonomous systems, or of a router that targets a
+specific VRF, is accomplished with the following command:
+
+.. clicmd:: router bgp ASN vrf VRFNAME
+
+   ``VRFNAME`` is matched against VRFs configured in the kernel. When ``vrf
+   VRFNAME`` is not specified, the BGP protocol process belongs to the default
+   VRF.
+
+An example configuration with multiple autonomous systems might look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp 1
+    neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 20
+    neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 30
+   !
+   router bgp 2 vrf blue
+    neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 40
+    neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 50
+   !
+   router bgp 3 vrf red
+    neighbor 10.0.0.5 remote-as 60
+    neighbor 10.0.0.6 remote-as 70
+   ...
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`bgp-vrf-route-leaking`
+.. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf`
+
+
+.. _bgp-views:
+
+Views
+-----
+
+In addition to supporting multiple autonomous systems, FRR's BGP implementation
+also supports *views*.
+
+BGP views are almost the same as normal BGP processes, except that routes
+selected by BGP are not installed into the kernel routing table.  Each BGP view
+provides an independent set of routing information which is only distributed
+via BGP. Multiple views can be supported, and BGP view information is always
+independent from other routing protocols and Zebra/kernel routes. BGP views use
+the core instance (i.e., default VRF) for communication with peers.
+
+.. clicmd:: router bgp AS-NUMBER view NAME
+
+   Make a new BGP view. You can use an arbitrary word for the ``NAME``. Routes
+   selected by the view are not installed into the kernel routing table.
+
+   With this command, you can setup Route Server like below.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      !
+      router bgp 1 view 1
+       neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
+       neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 3
+      !
+      router bgp 2 view 2
+       neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 4
+       neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 5
+
+.. clicmd:: show [ip] bgp view NAME
+
+   Display the routing table of BGP view ``NAME``.
+
+
+Route Selection
+---------------
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath as-path confed
+
+   This command specifies that the length of confederation path sets and
+   sequences should should be taken into account during the BGP best path
+   decision process.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax
+
+   This command specifies that BGP decision process should consider paths
+   of equal AS_PATH length candidates for multipath computation. Without
+   the knob, the entire AS_PATH must match for multipath computation.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath compare-routerid
+
+   Ensure that when comparing routes where both are equal on most metrics,
+   including local-pref, AS_PATH length, IGP cost, MED, that the tie is broken
+   based on router-ID.
+
+   If this option is enabled, then the already-selected check, where
+   already selected eBGP routes are preferred, is skipped.
+
+   If a route has an `ORIGINATOR_ID` attribute because it has been reflected,
+   that `ORIGINATOR_ID` will be used. Otherwise, the router-ID of the peer the
+   route was received from will be used.
+
+   The advantage of this is that the route-selection (at this point) will be
+   more deterministic. The disadvantage is that a few or even one lowest-ID
+   router may attract all traffic to otherwise-equal paths because of this
+   check. It may increase the possibility of MED or IGP oscillation, unless
+   other measures were taken to avoid these. The exact behaviour will be
+   sensitive to the iBGP and reflection topology.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath peer-type multipath-relax
+
+   This command specifies that BGP decision process should consider paths
+   from all peers for multipath computation. If this option is enabled,
+   paths learned from any of eBGP, iBGP, or confederation neighbors will
+   be multipath if they are otherwise considered equal cost.
+
+.. clicmd:: maximum-paths (1-128)
+
+   Sets the maximum-paths value used for ecmp calculations for this
+   bgp instance in EBGP.  The maximum value listed, 128, can be limited by
+   the ecmp cli for bgp or if the daemon was compiled with a lower
+   ecmp value.  This value can also be set in ipv4/ipv6 unicast/labeled
+   unicast to only affect those particular afi/safi's.
+
+.. clicmd:: maximum-paths ibgp (1-128) [equal-cluster-length]
+
+   Sets the maximum-paths value used for ecmp calculations for this
+   bgp instance in IBGP.  The maximum value listed, 128, can be limited by
+   the ecmp cli for bgp or if the daemon was compiled with a lower
+   ecmp value.  This value can also be set in ipv4/ipv6 unicast/labeled
+   unicast to only affect those particular afi/safi's.
+
+.. _bgp-distance:
+
+Administrative Distance Metrics
+-------------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: distance bgp (1-255) (1-255) (1-255)
+
+   This command changes distance value of BGP. The arguments are the distance
+   values for external routes, internal routes and local routes
+   respectively.
+
+.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M
+
+.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M WORD
+
+   Sets the administrative distance for a particular route.
+
+.. _bgp-requires-policy:
+
+Require policy on EBGP
+-------------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp ebgp-requires-policy
+
+   This command requires incoming and outgoing filters to be applied
+   for eBGP sessions as part of RFC-8212 compliance. Without the incoming
+   filter, no routes will be accepted. Without the outgoing filter, no
+   routes will be announced.
+
+   This is enabled by default for the traditional configuration and
+   turned off by default for datacenter configuration.
+
+   When you enable/disable this option you MUST clear the session.
+
+   When the incoming or outgoing filter is missing you will see
+   "(Policy)" sign under ``show bgp summary``:
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      exit1# show bgp summary
+
+      IPv4 Unicast Summary (VRF default):
+      BGP router identifier 10.10.10.1, local AS number 65001 vrf-id 0
+      BGP table version 4
+      RIB entries 7, using 1344 bytes of memory
+      Peers 2, using 43 KiB of memory
+
+      Neighbor        V         AS   MsgRcvd   MsgSent   TblVer  InQ OutQ  Up/Down State/PfxRcd   PfxSnt Desc
+      192.168.0.2     4      65002         8        10        0    0    0 00:03:09            5 (Policy) N/A
+      fe80:1::2222    4      65002         9        11        0    0    0 00:03:09     (Policy) (Policy) N/A
+
+   Additionally a `show bgp neighbor` command would indicate in the `For address family:`
+   block that:
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      exit1# show bgp neighbor
+      ...
+      For address family: IPv4 Unicast
+       Update group 1, subgroup 1
+       Packet Queue length 0
+       Inbound soft reconfiguration allowed
+       Community attribute sent to this neighbor(all)
+       Inbound updates discarded due to missing policy
+       Outbound updates discarded due to missing policy
+       0 accepted prefixes
+
+Reject routes with AS_SET or AS_CONFED_SET types
+------------------------------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp reject-as-sets
+
+   This command enables rejection of incoming and outgoing routes having AS_SET or AS_CONFED_SET type.
+
+Suppress duplicate updates
+--------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp suppress-duplicates
+
+   For example, BGP routers can generate multiple identical announcements with
+   empty community attributes if stripped at egress. This is an undesired behavior.
+   Suppress duplicate updates if the route actually not changed.
+   Default: enabled.
+
+Send Hard Reset CEASE Notification for Administrative Reset
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp hard-administrative-reset
+
+   Send Hard Reset CEASE Notification for 'Administrative Reset' events.
+
+   When disabled, and Graceful Restart Notification capability is exchanged
+   between the peers, Graceful Restart procedures apply, and routes will be
+   retained.
+
+   Enabled by default.
+
+Disable checking if nexthop is connected on EBGP sessions
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp disable-ebgp-connected-route-check

+
+.. _bgp-med:
+
+Multi-Exit Discriminator
+------------------------
+
+The BGP :abbr:`MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator)` attribute has properties which
+can cause subtle convergence problems in BGP. These properties and problems
+have proven to be hard to understand, at least historically, and may still not
+be widely understood. The following attempts to collect together and present
+what is known about MED, to help operators and FRR users in designing and
+configuring their networks.
+
+The BGP :abbr:`MED` attribute is intended to allow one AS to indicate its
+preferences for its ingress points to another AS. The MED attribute will not be
+propagated on to another AS by the receiving AS - it is 'non-transitive' in the
+BGP sense.
+
+E.g., if AS X and AS Y have 2 different BGP peering points, then AS X might set
+a MED of 100 on routes advertised at one and a MED of 200 at the other. When AS
+Y selects between otherwise equal routes to or via AS X, AS Y should prefer to
+take the path via the lower MED peering of 100 with AS X. Setting the MED
+allows an AS to influence the routing taken to it within another, neighbouring
+AS.
+
+In this use of MED it is not really meaningful to compare the MED value on
+routes where the next AS on the paths differs. E.g., if AS Y also had a route
+for some destination via AS Z in addition to the routes from AS X, and AS Z had
+also set a MED, it wouldn't make sense for AS Y to compare AS Z's MED values to
+those of AS X. The MED values have been set by different administrators, with
+different frames of reference.
+
+The default behaviour of BGP therefore is to not compare MED values across
+routes received from different neighbouring ASes. In FRR this is done by
+comparing the neighbouring, left-most AS in the received AS_PATHs of the routes
+and only comparing MED if those are the same.
+
+Unfortunately, this behaviour of MED, of sometimes being compared across routes
+and sometimes not, depending on the properties of those other routes, means MED
+can cause the order of preference over all the routes to be undefined. That is,
+given routes A, B, and C, if A is preferred to B, and B is preferred to C, then
+a well-defined order should mean the preference is transitive (in the sense of
+orders [#med-transitivity-rant]_) and that A would be preferred to C.
+
+However, when MED is involved this need not be the case. With MED it is
+possible that C is actually preferred over A. So A is preferred to B, B is
+preferred to C, but C is preferred to A. This can be true even where BGP
+defines a deterministic 'most preferred' route out of the full set of A,B,C.
+With MED, for any given set of routes there may be a deterministically
+preferred route, but there need not be any way to arrange them into any order
+of preference. With unmodified MED, the order of preference of routes literally
+becomes undefined.
+
+That MED can induce non-transitive preferences over routes can cause issues.
+Firstly, it may be perceived to cause routing table churn locally at speakers;
+secondly, and more seriously, it may cause routing instability in iBGP
+topologies, where sets of speakers continually oscillate between different
+paths.
+
+The first issue arises from how speakers often implement routing decisions.
+Though BGP defines a selection process that will deterministically select the
+same route as best at any given speaker, even with MED, that process requires
+evaluating all routes together. For performance and ease of implementation
+reasons, many implementations evaluate route preferences in a pair-wise fashion
+instead. Given there is no well-defined order when MED is involved, the best
+route that will be chosen becomes subject to implementation details, such as
+the order the routes are stored in. That may be (locally) non-deterministic,
+e.g.: it may be the order the routes were received in.
+
+This indeterminism may be considered undesirable, though it need not cause
+problems. It may mean additional routing churn is perceived, as sometimes more
+updates may be produced than at other times in reaction to some event .
+
+This first issue can be fixed with a more deterministic route selection that
+ensures routes are ordered by the neighbouring AS during selection.
+:clicmd:`bgp deterministic-med`. This may reduce the number of updates as routes
+are received, and may in some cases reduce routing churn. Though, it could
+equally deterministically produce the largest possible set of updates in
+response to the most common sequence of received updates.
+
+A deterministic order of evaluation tends to imply an additional overhead of
+sorting over any set of n routes to a destination. The implementation of
+deterministic MED in FRR scales significantly worse than most sorting
+algorithms at present, with the number of paths to a given destination.  That
+number is often low enough to not cause any issues, but where there are many
+paths, the deterministic comparison may quickly become increasingly expensive
+in terms of CPU.
+
+Deterministic local evaluation can *not* fix the second, more major, issue of
+MED however. Which is that the non-transitive preference of routes MED can
+cause may lead to routing instability or oscillation across multiple speakers
+in iBGP topologies. This can occur with full-mesh iBGP, but is particularly
+problematic in non-full-mesh iBGP topologies that further reduce the routing
+information known to each speaker. This has primarily been documented with iBGP
+:ref:`route-reflection <bgp-route-reflector>` topologies. However, any
+route-hiding technologies potentially could also exacerbate oscillation with MED.
+
+This second issue occurs where speakers each have only a subset of routes, and
+there are cycles in the preferences between different combinations of routes -
+as the undefined order of preference of MED allows - and the routes are
+distributed in a way that causes the BGP speakers to 'chase' those cycles. This
+can occur even if all speakers use a deterministic order of evaluation in route
+selection.
+
+E.g., speaker 4 in AS A might receive a route from speaker 2 in AS X, and from
+speaker 3 in AS Y; while speaker 5 in AS A might receive that route from
+speaker 1 in AS Y. AS Y might set a MED of 200 at speaker 1, and 100 at speaker
+3. I.e, using ASN:ID:MED to label the speakers:
+
+::
+
+   .
+             /---------------\\
+   X:2------|--A:4-------A:5--|-Y:1:200
+               Y:3:100--|-/   |
+             \\---------------/
+
+
+
+Assuming all other metrics are equal (AS_PATH, ORIGIN, 0 IGP costs), then based
+on the RFC4271 decision process speaker 4 will choose X:2 over Y:3:100, based
+on the lower ID of 2. Speaker 4 advertises X:2 to speaker 5.  Speaker 5 will
+continue to prefer Y:1:200 based on the ID, and advertise this to speaker 4.
+Speaker 4 will now have the full set of routes, and the Y:1:200 it receives
+from 5 will beat X:2, but when speaker 4 compares Y:1:200 to Y:3:100 the MED
+check now becomes active as the ASes match, and now Y:3:100 is preferred.
+Speaker 4 therefore now advertises Y:3:100 to 5, which will also agrees that
+Y:3:100 is preferred to Y:1:200, and so withdraws the latter route from 4.
+Speaker 4 now has only X:2 and Y:3:100, and X:2 beats Y:3:100, and so speaker 4
+implicitly updates its route to speaker 5 to X:2. Speaker 5 sees that Y:1:200
+beats X:2 based on the ID, and advertises Y:1:200 to speaker 4, and the cycle
+continues.
+
+The root cause is the lack of a clear order of preference caused by how MED
+sometimes is and sometimes is not compared, leading to this cycle in the
+preferences between the routes:
+
+::
+
+   .
+    /---> X:2 ---beats---> Y:3:100 --\\
+   |                                   |
+   |                                   |
+    \\---beats--- Y:1:200 <---beats---/
+
+
+
+This particular type of oscillation in full-mesh iBGP topologies can  be
+avoided by speakers preferring already selected, external routes rather than
+choosing to update to new a route based on a post-MED metric (e.g.  router-ID),
+at the cost of a non-deterministic selection process. FRR implements this, as
+do many other implementations, so long as it is not overridden by setting
+:clicmd:`bgp bestpath compare-routerid`, and see also
+:ref:`bgp-route-selection`.
+
+However, more complex and insidious cycles of oscillation are possible with
+iBGP route-reflection, which are not so easily avoided. These have been
+documented in various places. See, e.g.:
+
+- [bgp-route-osci-cond]_
+- [stable-flexible-ibgp]_
+- [ibgp-correctness]_
+
+for concrete examples and further references.
+
+There is as of this writing *no* known way to use MED for its original purpose;
+*and* reduce routing information in iBGP topologies; *and* be sure to avoid the
+instability problems of MED due the non-transitive routing preferences it can
+induce; in general on arbitrary networks.
+
+There may be iBGP topology specific ways to reduce the instability risks, even
+while using MED, e.g.: by constraining the reflection topology and by tuning
+IGP costs between route-reflector clusters, see :rfc:`3345` for details.  In the
+near future, the Add-Path extension to BGP may also solve MED oscillation while
+still allowing MED to be used as intended, by distributing "best-paths per
+neighbour AS". This would be at the cost of distributing at least as many
+routes to all speakers as a full-mesh iBGP would, if not more, while also
+imposing similar CPU overheads as the "Deterministic MED" feature at each
+Add-Path reflector.
+
+More generally, the instability problems that MED can introduce on more
+complex, non-full-mesh, iBGP topologies may be avoided either by:
+
+- Setting :clicmd:`bgp always-compare-med`, however this allows MED to be compared
+  across values set by different neighbour ASes, which may not produce
+  coherent desirable results, of itself.
+- Effectively ignoring MED by setting MED to the same value (e.g.: 0) using
+  :clicmd:`set metric METRIC` on all received routes, in combination with
+  setting :clicmd:`bgp always-compare-med` on all speakers. This is the simplest
+  and most performant way to avoid MED oscillation issues, where an AS is happy
+  not to allow neighbours to inject this problematic metric.
+
+As MED is evaluated after the AS_PATH length check, another possible use for
+MED is for intra-AS steering of routes with equal AS_PATH length, as an
+extension of the last case above. As MED is evaluated before IGP metric, this
+can allow cold-potato routing to be implemented to send traffic to preferred
+hand-offs with neighbours, rather than the closest hand-off according to the
+IGP metric.
+
+Note that even if action is taken to address the MED non-transitivity issues,
+other oscillations may still be possible. E.g., on IGP cost if iBGP and IGP
+topologies are at cross-purposes with each other - see the Flavel and Roughan
+paper above for an example. Hence the guideline that the iBGP topology should
+follow the IGP topology.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp deterministic-med
+
+   Carry out route-selection in way that produces deterministic answers
+   locally, even in the face of MED and the lack of a well-defined order of
+   preference it can induce on routes. Without this option the preferred route
+   with MED may be determined largely by the order that routes were received
+   in.
+
+   Setting this option will have a performance cost that may be noticeable when
+   there are many routes for each destination. Currently in FRR it is
+   implemented in a way that scales poorly as the number of routes per
+   destination increases.
+
+   The default is that this option is not set.
+
+Note that there are other sources of indeterminism in the route selection
+process, specifically, the preference for older and already selected routes
+from eBGP peers, :ref:`bgp-route-selection`.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp always-compare-med
+
+   Always compare the MED on routes, even when they were received from
+   different neighbouring ASes. Setting this option makes the order of
+   preference of routes more defined, and should eliminate MED induced
+   oscillations.
+
+   If using this option, it may also be desirable to use
+   :clicmd:`set metric METRIC` to set MED to 0 on routes received from external
+   neighbours.
+
+   This option can be used, together with :clicmd:`set metric METRIC` to use
+   MED as an intra-AS metric to steer equal-length AS_PATH routes to, e.g.,
+   desired exit points.

+.. _bgp-graceful-restart:
+
+Graceful Restart
+----------------
+
+BGP graceful restart functionality as defined in
+`RFC-4724 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4724/>`_ defines the mechanisms that
+allows BGP speaker to continue to forward data packets along known routes
+while the routing protocol information is being restored.
+
+
+Usually, when BGP on a router restarts, all the BGP peers detect that the
+session went down and then came up. This "down/up" transition results in a
+"routing flap" and causes BGP route re-computation, generation of BGP routing
+updates, and unnecessary churn to the forwarding tables.
+
+The following functionality is provided by graceful restart:
+
+1. The feature allows the restarting router to indicate to the helping peer the
+   routes it can preserve in its forwarding plane during control plane restart
+   by sending graceful restart capability in the OPEN message sent during
+   session establishment.
+2. The feature allows helping router to advertise to all other peers the routes
+   received from the restarting router which are preserved in the forwarding
+   plane of the restarting router during control plane restart.
+
+

+
+
+

+.. _bgp-GR-preserve-forwarding-state:
+
+BGP-GR Preserve-Forwarding State
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+BGP OPEN message carrying optional capabilities for Graceful Restart has
+8 bit “Flags for Address Family” for given AFI and SAFI. This field contains
+bit flags relating to routes that were advertised with the given AFI and SAFI.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+   |F|   Reserved  |
+   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+The most significant bit is defined as the Forwarding State (F) bit, which
+can be used to indicate whether the forwarding state for routes that were
+advertised with the given AFI and SAFI has indeed been preserved during the
+previous BGP restart. When set (value 1), the bit indicates that the
+forwarding state has been preserved.
+The remaining bits are reserved and MUST be set to zero by the sender and
+ignored by the receiver.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart preserve-fw-state
+
+FRR gives us the option to enable/disable the "F" flag using this specific
+vty command. However, it doesn't have the option to enable/disable
+this flag only for specific AFI/SAFI i.e. when this command is used, it
+applied to all the supported AFI/SAFI combinations for this peer.
+
+.. _bgp-end-of-rib-message:
+
+End-of-RIB (EOR) message
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+An UPDATE message with no reachable Network Layer Reachability  Information
+(NLRI) and empty withdrawn NLRI is specified as the End-of-RIB marker that can
+be used by a BGP speaker to indicate to its peer the completion of the initial
+routing update after the session is established.
+
+For the IPv4 unicast address family, the End-of-RIB marker is an UPDATE message
+with the minimum length. For any other address family, it is an UPDATE message
+that contains only the MP_UNREACH_NLRI attribute with no withdrawn routes for
+that <AFI, SAFI>.
+
+Although the End-of-RIB marker is specified for the purpose of BGP graceful
+restart, it is noted that the generation of such a marker upon completion of
+the initial update would be useful for routing convergence in general, and thus
+the practice is recommended.
+
+.. _bgp-route-selection-deferral-timer:
+
+Route Selection Deferral Timer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Specifies the time the restarting router defers the route selection process
+after restart.
+
+Restarting Router : The usage of route election deferral timer is specified
+in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4724#section-4.1
+
+Once the session between the Restarting Speaker and the Receiving Speaker is
+re-established, the Restarting Speaker will receive and process BGP messages
+from its peers.
+
+However, it MUST defer route selection for an address family until it either.
+
+1. Receives the End-of-RIB marker from all its peers (excluding the ones with
+   the "Restart State" bit set in the received capability and excluding the ones
+   that do not advertise the graceful restart capability).
+2. The Selection_Deferral_Timer timeout.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart select-defer-time (0-3600)
+
+   This is command, will set deferral time to value specified.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart rib-stale-time (1-3600)
+
+   This is command, will set the time for which stale routes are kept in RIB.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart restart-time (0-4095)
+
+   Set the time to wait to delete stale routes before a BGP open message
+   is received.
+
+   Using with Long-lived Graceful Restart capability, this is recommended
+   setting this timer to 0 and control stale routes with
+   ``bgp long-lived-graceful-restart stale-time``.
+
+   Default value is 120.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart stalepath-time (1-4095)
+
+   This is command, will set the max time (in seconds) to hold onto
+   restarting peer's stale paths.
+
+   It also controls Enhanced Route-Refresh timer.
+
+   If this command is configured and the router does not receive a Route-Refresh EoRR
+   message, the router removes the stale routes from the BGP table after the timer
+   expires. The stale path timer is started when the router receives a Route-Refresh
+   BoRR message.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart notification
+
+   Indicate Graceful Restart support for BGP NOTIFICATION messages.
+
+   After changing this parameter, you have to reset the peers in order to advertise
+   N-bit in Graceful Restart capability.
+
+   Without Graceful-Restart Notification capability (N-bit not set), GR is not
+   activated when receiving CEASE/HOLDTIME expire notifications.
+
+   When sending ``CEASE/Administrative Reset`` (``clear bgp``), the session is closed
+   and routes are not retained. When N-bit is set and ``bgp hard-administrative-reset``
+   is turned off Graceful-Restart is activated and routes are retained.

+BGP Per Peer Graceful Restart
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Ability to enable and disable graceful restart, helper and no GR at all mode

+
+So bgp graceful restart can be enabled at modes  global BGP level or at per
+peer level. There are two FSM, one for BGP GR global mode and other for peer
+per GR.
+
+Default global mode is helper and default peer per mode is inherit from global.

+
+BGP GR Global Mode Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart
+
+   This command will enable BGP graceful restart functionality at the global

+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-restart disable
+
+   This command will disable both the functionality graceful restart and helper

+.. _bgp-GR-peer-mode-cmd:
+
+BGP GR Peer Mode Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D graceful-restart
+
+   This command will enable BGP graceful restart functionality at the peer

+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D graceful-restart-helper
+
+   This command will enable BGP graceful restart helper only functionality
+   at the peer level.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D graceful-restart-disable
+
+   This command will disable the entire BGP graceful restart functionality
+   at the peer level.
+
+
+Long-lived Graceful Restart
+---------------------------
+
+Currently, only restarter mode is supported. This capability is advertised only
+if graceful restart capability is negotiated.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp long-lived-graceful-restart stale-time (1-4294967295)
+
+   Specifies the maximum time to wait before purging long-lived stale routes for
+   helper routers.
+
+   Default is 0, which means the feature is off by default. Only graceful
+   restart takes into account.
+
+.. _bgp-shutdown:
+
+Administrative Shutdown
+-----------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp shutdown [message MSG...]
+
+   Administrative shutdown of all peers of a bgp instance. Drop all BGP peers,
+   but preserve their configurations. The peers are notified in accordance with
+   `RFC 8203 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8203/>`_ by sending a
+   ``NOTIFICATION`` message with error code ``Cease`` and subcode
+   ``Administrative Shutdown`` prior to terminating connections. This global
+   shutdown is independent of the neighbor shutdown, meaning that individually
+   shut down peers will not be affected by lifting it.
+
+   An optional shutdown message `MSG` can be specified.
+
+
+.. _bgp-network:
+
+Networks
+--------
+
+.. clicmd:: network A.B.C.D/M
+
+   This command adds the announcement network.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router bgp 1
+       address-family ipv4 unicast
+        network 10.0.0.0/8
+       exit-address-family
+
+   This configuration example says that network 10.0.0.0/8 will be
+   announced to all neighbors. Some vendors' routers don't advertise
+   routes if they aren't present in their IGP routing tables; `bgpd`
+   doesn't care about IGP routes when announcing its routes.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp network import-check
+
+   This configuration modifies the behavior of the network statement.
+   If you have this configured the underlying network must exist in
+   the rib.  If you have the [no] form configured then BGP will not
+   check for the networks existence in the rib.  For versions 7.3 and
+   before frr defaults for datacenter were the network must exist,
+   traditional did not check for existence.  For versions 7.4 and beyond
+   both traditional and datacenter the network must exist.
+
+.. _bgp-ipv6-support:
+
+IPv6 Support
+------------
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D activate
+
+   This configuration modifies whether to enable an address family for a
+   specific neighbor. By default only the IPv4 unicast address family is
+   enabled.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router bgp 1
+       address-family ipv6 unicast
+        neighbor 2001:0DB8::1 activate
+        network 2001:0DB8:5009::/64
+       exit-address-family
+
+   This configuration example says that network 2001:0DB8:5009::/64 will be
+   announced and enables the neighbor 2001:0DB8::1 to receive this announcement.
+
+   By default, only the IPv4 unicast address family is announced to all
+   neighbors. Using the 'no bgp default ipv4-unicast' configuration overrides
+   this default so that all address families need to be enabled explicitly.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router bgp 1
+       no bgp default ipv4-unicast
+       neighbor 10.10.10.1 remote-as 2
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::1 remote-as 3
+       address-family ipv4 unicast
+        neighbor 10.10.10.1 activate
+        network 192.168.1.0/24
+       exit-address-family
+       address-family ipv6 unicast
+        neighbor 2001:0DB8::1 activate
+        network 2001:0DB8:5009::/64
+       exit-address-family
+
+   This configuration demonstrates how the 'no bgp default ipv4-unicast' might
+   be used in a setup with two upstreams where each of the upstreams should only
+   receive either IPv4 or IPv6 announcements.
+
+   Using the ``bgp default ipv6-unicast`` configuration, IPv6 unicast
+   address family is enabled by default for all new neighbors.
+
+
+.. _bgp-route-aggregation:
+
+Route Aggregation
+-----------------
+
+.. _bgp-route-aggregation-ipv4:
+
+Route Aggregation-IPv4 Address Family
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: aggregate-address A.B.C.D/M
+
+   This command specifies an aggregate address.
+
+   In order to advertise an aggregated prefix, a more specific (longer) prefix

+.. clicmd:: bgp update-delay MAX-DELAY
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp update-delay MAX-DELAY ESTABLISH-WAIT
+
+   This feature is used to enable read-only mode on BGP process restart or when

+   configured at the global level and applies to all bgp instances/vrfs.  It
+   cannot be used at the same time as the "update-delay" command described below,
+   which is entered in each bgp instance/vrf desired to delay update installation
+   and advertisements. The global and per-vrf approaches to defining update-delay
+   are mutually exclusive.
+
+   When applicable, read-only mode would begin as soon as the first peer reaches
+   Established status and a timer for max-delay seconds is started.  During this
+   mode BGP doesn't run any best-path or generate any updates to its peers. This
+   mode continues until:
+
+   1. All the configured peers, except the shutdown peers, have sent explicit EOR
+      (End-Of-RIB) or an implicit-EOR. The first keep-alive after BGP has reached
+      Established is considered an implicit-EOR.
+      If the establish-wait optional value is given, then BGP will wait for
+      peers to reach established from the beginning of the update-delay till the
+      establish-wait period is over, i.e. the minimum set of established peers for
+      which EOR is expected would be peers established during the establish-wait

+
+Defining Peers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER remote-as ASN
+
+   Creates a new neighbor whose remote-as is ASN. PEER can be an IPv4 address
+   or an IPv6 address or an interface to use for the connection.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+       router bgp 1
+        neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
+
+   In this case my router, in AS-1, is trying to peer with AS-2 at 10.0.0.1.
+
+   This command must be the first command used when configuring a neighbor.  If
+   the remote-as is not specified, *bgpd* will complain like this: ::
+
+      can't find neighbor 10.0.0.1
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER remote-as internal
+
+   Create a peer as you would when you specify an ASN, except that if the
+   peers ASN is different than mine as specified under the :clicmd:`router bgp ASN`
+   command the connection will be denied.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER remote-as external
+
+   Create a peer as you would when you specify an ASN, except that if the
+   peers ASN is the same as mine as specified under the :clicmd:`router bgp ASN`
+   command the connection will be denied.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp listen range <A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M> peer-group PGNAME
+
+   Accept connections from any peers in the specified prefix. Configuration
+   from the specified peer-group is used to configure these peers.
+
+.. note::
+
+   When using BGP listen ranges, if the associated peer group has TCP MD5
+   authentication configured, your kernel must support this on prefixes. On
+   Linux, this support was added in kernel version 4.14. If your kernel does
+   not support this feature you will get a warning in the log file, and the
+   listen range will only accept connections from peers without MD5 configured.
+
+   Additionally, we have observed that when using this option at scale (several
+   hundred peers) the kernel may hit its option memory limit. In this situation
+   you will see error messages like:
+
+   ``bgpd: sockopt_tcp_signature: setsockopt(23): Cannot allocate memory``
+
+   In this case you need to increase the value of the sysctl
+   ``net.core.optmem_max`` to allow the kernel to allocate the necessary option
+   memory.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp listen limit <1-65535>
+
+   Define the maximum number of peers accepted for one BGP instance. This
+   limit is set to 100 by default. Increasing this value will really be
+   possible if more file descriptors are available in the BGP process. This
+   value is defined by the underlying system (ulimit value), and can be
+   overridden by `--limit-fds`. More information is available in chapter
+   (:ref:`common-invocation-options`).
+
+.. clicmd:: coalesce-time (0-4294967295)
+
+   The time in milliseconds that BGP will delay before deciding what peers
+   can be put into an update-group together in order to generate a single
+   update for them.  The default time is 1000.
+
+.. _bgp-configuring-peers:
+
+Configuring Peers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER shutdown [message MSG...] [rtt (1-65535) [count (1-255)]]
+
+   Shutdown the peer. We can delete the neighbor's configuration by
+   ``no neighbor PEER remote-as ASN`` but all configuration of the neighbor
+   will be deleted. When you want to preserve the configuration, but want to
+   drop the BGP peer, use this syntax.
+
+   Optionally you can specify a shutdown message `MSG`.
+
+   Also, you can specify optionally ``rtt`` in milliseconds to automatically
+   shutdown the peer if round-trip-time becomes higher than defined.
+
+   Additional ``count`` parameter is the number of keepalive messages to count
+   before shutdown the peer if round-trip-time becomes higher than defined.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER disable-connected-check
+
+   Allow peerings between directly connected eBGP peers using loopback
+   addresses.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER disable-link-bw-encoding-ieee
+
+   By default bandwidth in extended communities is carried encoded as IEEE
+   floating-point format, which is according to the draft.
+
+   Older versions have the implementation where extended community bandwidth
+   value is carried encoded as uint32. To enable backward compatibility we
+   need to disable IEEE floating-point encoding option per-peer.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER extended-optional-parameters
+
+   Force Extended Optional Parameters Length format to be used for OPEN messages.
+
+   By default, it's disabled. If the standard optional parameters length is
+   higher than one-octet (255), then extended format is enabled automatically.
+
+   For testing purposes, extended format can be enabled with this command.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER ebgp-multihop
+
+   Specifying ``ebgp-multihop`` allows sessions with eBGP neighbors to
+   establish when they are multiple hops away. When the neighbor is not
+   directly connected and this knob is not enabled, the session will not
+   establish.
+
+   If the peer's IP address is not in the RIB and is reachable via the
+   default route, then you have to enable ``ip nht resolve-via-default``.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER description ...
+
+   Set description of the peer.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER interface IFNAME
+
+   When you connect to a BGP peer over an IPv6 link-local address, you have to
+   specify the IFNAME of the interface used for the connection. To specify
+   IPv4 session addresses, see the ``neighbor PEER update-source`` command
+   below.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER interface remote-as <internal|external|ASN>
+
+   Configure an unnumbered BGP peer. ``PEER`` should be an interface name. The
+   session will be established via IPv6 link locals. Use ``internal`` for iBGP
+   and ``external`` for eBGP sessions, or specify an ASN if you wish.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER next-hop-self [force]
+
+   This command specifies an announced route's nexthop as being equivalent to
+   the address of the bgp router if it is learned via eBGP. This will also
+   bypass third-party next-hops in favor of the local bgp address. If the
+   optional keyword ``force`` is specified the modification is done also for
+   routes learned via iBGP.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER attribute-unchanged [{as-path|next-hop|med}]
+
+   This command specifies attributes to be left unchanged for advertisements
+   sent to a peer. Use this to leave the next-hop unchanged in ipv6
+   configurations, as the route-map directive to leave the next-hop unchanged
+   is only available for ipv4.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER update-source <IFNAME|ADDRESS>
+
+   Specify the IPv4 source address to use for the :abbr:`BGP` session to this
+   neighbour, may be specified as either an IPv4 address directly or as an
+   interface name (in which case the *zebra* daemon MUST be running in order
+   for *bgpd* to be able to retrieve interface state).
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router bgp 64555
+       neighbor foo update-source 192.168.0.1
+       neighbor bar update-source lo0
+
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER default-originate [route-map WORD]
+
+   *bgpd*'s default is to not announce the default route (0.0.0.0/0) even if it
+   is in routing table. When you want to announce default routes to the peer,
+   use this command.
+
+   If ``route-map`` keyword is specified, then the default route will be
+   originated only if route-map conditions are met. For example, announce
+   the default route only if ``10.10.10.10/32`` route exists and set an
+   arbitrary community for a default route.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router bgp 64555

+      route-map default permit 10
+       match ip address prefix-list p1
+       set community 123:123
+      !
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER port PORT
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER password PASSWORD
+
+   Set a MD5 password to be used with the tcp socket that is being used
+   to connect to the remote peer.  Please note if you are using this
+   command with a large number of peers on linux you should consider
+   modifying the `net.core.optmem_max` sysctl to a larger value to
+   avoid out of memory errors from the linux kernel.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER send-community
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER weight WEIGHT
+
+   This command specifies a default `weight` value for the neighbor's routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER maximum-prefix NUMBER [force]
+
+   Sets a maximum number of prefixes we can receive from a given peer. If this
+   number is exceeded, the BGP session will be destroyed.
+
+   In practice, it is generally preferable to use a prefix-list to limit what
+   prefixes are received from the peer instead of using this knob. Tearing down
+   the BGP session when a limit is exceeded is far more destructive than merely
+   rejecting undesired prefixes. The prefix-list method is also much more
+   granular and offers much smarter matching criterion than number of received
+   prefixes, making it more suited to implementing policy.
+
+   If ``force`` is set, then ALL prefixes are counted for maximum instead of
+   accepted only. This is useful for cases where an inbound filter is applied,
+   but you want maximum-prefix to act on ALL (including filtered) prefixes. This
+   option requires `soft-reconfiguration inbound` to be enabled for the peer.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER maximum-prefix-out NUMBER
+
+   Sets a maximum number of prefixes we can send to a given peer.
+
+   Since sent prefix count is managed by update-groups, this option
+   creates a separate update-group for outgoing updates.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER local-as AS-NUMBER [no-prepend] [replace-as]
+
+   Specify an alternate AS for this BGP process when interacting with the
+   specified peer. With no modifiers, the specified local-as is prepended to
+   the received AS_PATH when receiving routing updates from the peer, and
+   prepended to the outgoing AS_PATH (after the process local AS) when
+   transmitting local routes to the peer.
+
+   If the no-prepend attribute is specified, then the supplied local-as is not
+   prepended to the received AS_PATH.
+
+   If the replace-as attribute is specified, then only the supplied local-as is
+   prepended to the AS_PATH when transmitting local-route updates to this peer.
+
+   Note that replace-as can only be specified if no-prepend is.
+
+   This command is only allowed for eBGP peers.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> as-override
+
+   Override AS number of the originating router with the local AS number.
+
+   Usually this configuration is used in PEs (Provider Edge) to replace
+   the incoming customer AS number so the connected CE (Customer Edge)
+   can use the same AS number as the other customer sites. This allows
+   customers of the provider network to use the same AS number across
+   their sites.
+
+   This command is only allowed for eBGP peers.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> allowas-in [<(1-10)|origin>]
+
+   Accept incoming routes with AS path containing AS number with the same value
+   as the current system AS.
+
+   This is used when you want to use the same AS number in your sites, but you
+   can't connect them directly. This is an alternative to
+   `neighbor WORD as-override`.
+
+   The parameter `(1-10)` configures the amount of accepted occurrences of the
+   system AS number in AS path.
+
+   The parameter `origin` configures BGP to only accept routes originated with
+   the same AS number as the system.
+
+   This command is only allowed for eBGP peers.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> addpath-tx-all-paths
+
+   Configure BGP to send all known paths to neighbor in order to preserve multi
+   path capabilities inside a network.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> addpath-tx-bestpath-per-AS
+
+   Configure BGP to send best known paths to neighbor in order to preserve multi
+   path capabilities inside a network.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> disable-addpath-rx
+
+   Do not accept additional paths from this neighbor.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER ttl-security hops NUMBER
+
+   This command enforces Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM), as
+   specified in RFC 5082. With this command, only neighbors that are the
+   specified number of hops away will be allowed to become neighbors. This
+   command is mutually exclusive with *ebgp-multihop*.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER capability extended-nexthop
+
+   Allow bgp to negotiate the extended-nexthop capability with it's peer.
+   If you are peering over a v6 LL address then this capability is turned
+   on automatically.  If you are peering over a v6 Global Address then
+   turning on this command will allow BGP to install v4 routes with
+   v6 nexthops if you do not have v4 configured on interfaces.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp fast-external-failover
+
+   This command causes bgp to take down ebgp peers immediately
+   when a link flaps.  `bgp fast-external-failover` is the default
+   and will not be displayed as part of a `show run`.  The no form
+   of the command turns off this ability.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp default ipv4-unicast

+   The `bgp default l2vpn-evpn` form of the command is displayed.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp default show-hostname
+
+   This command shows the hostname of the peer in certain BGP commands
+   outputs. It's easier to troubleshoot if you have a number of BGP peers.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp default show-nexthop-hostname
+
+   This command shows the hostname of the next-hop in certain BGP commands
+   outputs. It's easier to troubleshoot if you have a number of BGP peers
+   and a number of routes to check.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER advertisement-interval (0-600)
+
+   Setup the minimum route advertisement interval(mrai) for the

+   with the default advertisement interval being 0.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER timers (0-65535) (0-65535)

+   and the second is hold time.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER timers connect (1-65535)
+
+   Set connect timer for a neighbor. The connect timer controls how long BGP
+   waits between connection attempts to a neighbor.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER timers delayopen (1-240)
+
+   This command allows the user enable the
+   `RFC 4271 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4271/>` DelayOpenTimer with the
+   specified interval or disable it with the negating command for the peer. By
+   default, the DelayOpenTimer is disabled. The timer interval may be set to a
+   duration of 1 to 240 seconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp minimum-holdtime (1-65535)
+
+   This command allows user to prevent session establishment with BGP peers
+   with lower holdtime less than configured minimum holdtime.
+   When this command is not set, minimum holdtime does not work.
+
+Displaying Information about Peers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp <afi> <safi> neighbors WORD bestpath-routes [json] [wide]
+
+   For the given neighbor, WORD, that is specified list the routes selected
+   by BGP as having the best path.
+
+.. _bgp-peer-filtering:
+
+Peer Filtering
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER distribute-list NAME [in|out]
+
+   This command specifies a distribute-list for the peer. `direct` is
+   ``in`` or ``out``.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER prefix-list NAME [in|out]
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER filter-list NAME [in|out]
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER route-map NAME [in|out]
+
+   Apply a route-map on the neighbor. `direct` must be `in` or `out`.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp route-reflector allow-outbound-policy
+
+   By default, attribute modification via route-map policy out is not reflected
+   on reflected routes. This option allows the modifications to be reflected as
+   well. Once enabled, it affects all reflected routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER sender-as-path-loop-detection
+
+   Enable the detection of sender side AS path loops and filter the
+   bad routes before they are sent.
+
+   This setting is disabled by default.
+
+.. _bgp-peer-group:
+
+Peer Groups
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Peer groups are used to help improve scaling by generating the same
+update information to all members of a peer group. Note that this means
+that the routes generated by a member of a peer group will be sent back
+to that originating peer with the originator identifier attribute set to
+indicated the originating peer.  All peers not associated with a
+specific peer group are treated as belonging to a default peer group,
+and will share updates.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor WORD peer-group
+
+   This command defines a new peer group.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER peer-group PGNAME
+
+   This command bind specific peer to peer group WORD.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER solo
+
+   This command is used to indicate that routes advertised by the peer
+   should not be reflected back to the peer.  This command only is only
+   meaningful when there is a single peer defined in the peer-group.
+
+.. clicmd:: show [ip] bgp peer-group [json]
+
+   This command displays configured BGP peer-groups.
+
+      .. code-block:: frr

+
+Capability Negotiation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER strict-capability-match
+
+
+   Strictly compares remote capabilities and local capabilities. If
+   capabilities are different, send Unsupported Capability error then reset
+   connection.
+
+   You may want to disable sending Capability Negotiation OPEN message optional
+   parameter to the peer when remote peer does not implement Capability
+   Negotiation. Please use *dont-capability-negotiate* command to disable the
+   feature.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER dont-capability-negotiate
+
+   Suppress sending Capability Negotiation as OPEN message optional parameter
+   to the peer. This command only affects the peer is configured other than
+   IPv4 unicast configuration.
+
+   When remote peer does not have capability negotiation feature, remote peer
+   will not send any capabilities at all. In that case, bgp configures the peer
+   with configured capabilities.
+
+   You may prefer locally configured capabilities more than the negotiated
+   capabilities even though remote peer sends capabilities. If the peer is
+   configured by *override-capability*, *bgpd* ignores received capabilities
+   then override negotiated capabilities with configured values.
+
+   Additionally the operator should be reminded that this feature fundamentally
+   disables the ability to use widely deployed BGP features.  BGP unnumbered,
+   hostname support, AS4, Addpath, Route Refresh, ORF, Dynamic Capabilities,
+   and graceful restart.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER override-capability
+
+
+   Override the result of Capability Negotiation with local configuration.
+   Ignore remote peer's capability value.

+
+AS path access list is user defined AS path.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp as-path access-list WORD [seq (0-4294967295)] permit|deny LINE
+
+   This command defines a new AS path access list.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp as-path-access-list [json]
+
+   Display all BGP AS Path access lists.
+
+   If the ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp as-path-access-list WORD [json]

+
+.. _bgp-using-as-path-in-route-map:
+
+Using AS Path in Route Map
+--------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: match as-path WORD
+
+   For a given as-path, WORD, match it on the BGP as-path given for the prefix
+   and if it matches do normal route-map actions.  The no form of the command
+   removes this match from the route-map.
+
+.. clicmd:: set as-path prepend AS-PATH
+
+   Prepend the given string of AS numbers to the AS_PATH of the BGP path's NLRI.
+   The no form of this command removes this set operation from the route-map.
+
+.. clicmd:: set as-path prepend last-as NUM
+
+   Prepend the existing last AS number (the leftmost ASN) to the AS_PATH.
+   The no form of this command removes this set operation from the route-map.
+
+.. clicmd:: set as-path replace <any|ASN>
+
+   Replace a specific AS number to local AS number. ``any`` replaces each
+   AS number in the AS-PATH with the local AS number.
+
+.. _bgp-communities-attribute:
+
+Communities Attribute
+---------------------
+
+The BGP communities attribute is widely used for implementing policy routing.
+Network operators can manipulate BGP communities attribute based on their
+network policy. BGP communities attribute is defined in :rfc:`1997` and
+:rfc:`1998`. It is an optional transitive attribute, therefore local policy can
+travel through different autonomous system.
+
+The communities attribute is a set of communities values. Each community value
+is 4 octet long. The following format is used to define the community value.
+
+``AS:VAL``
+   This format represents 4 octet communities value. ``AS`` is high order 2
+   octet in digit format. ``VAL`` is low order 2 octet in digit format. This
+   format is useful to define AS oriented policy value. For example,
+   ``7675:80`` can be used when AS 7675 wants to pass local policy value 80 to
+   neighboring peer.
+
+``internet``
+   ``internet`` represents well-known communities value 0.
+
+``graceful-shutdown``
+   ``graceful-shutdown`` represents well-known communities value
+   ``GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN`` ``0xFFFF0000`` ``65535:0``. :rfc:`8326` implements
+   the purpose Graceful BGP Session Shutdown to reduce the amount of
+   lost traffic when taking BGP sessions down for maintenance. The use
+   of the community needs to be supported from your peers side to
+   actually have any effect.
+
+``accept-own``
+   ``accept-own`` represents well-known communities value ``ACCEPT_OWN``
+   ``0xFFFF0001`` ``65535:1``. :rfc:`7611` implements a way to signal
+   to a router to accept routes with a local nexthop address. This
+   can be the case when doing policing and having traffic having a
+   nexthop located in another VRF but still local interface to the
+   router. It is recommended to read the RFC for full details.
+
+``route-filter-translated-v4``
+   ``route-filter-translated-v4`` represents well-known communities value
+   ``ROUTE_FILTER_TRANSLATED_v4`` ``0xFFFF0002`` ``65535:2``.
+
+``route-filter-v4``
+   ``route-filter-v4`` represents well-known communities value
+   ``ROUTE_FILTER_v4`` ``0xFFFF0003`` ``65535:3``.
+
+``route-filter-translated-v6``
+   ``route-filter-translated-v6`` represents well-known communities value
+   ``ROUTE_FILTER_TRANSLATED_v6`` ``0xFFFF0004`` ``65535:4``.
+
+``route-filter-v6``
+   ``route-filter-v6`` represents well-known communities value
+   ``ROUTE_FILTER_v6`` ``0xFFFF0005`` ``65535:5``.
+
+``llgr-stale``
+   ``llgr-stale`` represents well-known communities value ``LLGR_STALE``
+   ``0xFFFF0006`` ``65535:6``.
+   Assigned and intended only for use with routers supporting the
+   Long-lived Graceful Restart Capability  as described in
+   [Draft-IETF-uttaro-idr-bgp-persistence]_.
+   Routers receiving routes with this community may (depending on
+   implementation) choose allow to reject or modify routes on the
+   presence or absence of this community.
+
+``no-llgr``
+   ``no-llgr`` represents well-known communities value ``NO_LLGR``
+   ``0xFFFF0007`` ``65535:7``.
+   Assigned and intended only for use with routers supporting the
+   Long-lived Graceful Restart Capability  as described in
+   [Draft-IETF-uttaro-idr-bgp-persistence]_.
+   Routers receiving routes with this community may (depending on
+   implementation) choose allow to reject or modify routes on the
+   presence or absence of this community.
+
+``accept-own-nexthop``
+   ``accept-own-nexthop`` represents well-known communities value
+   ``accept-own-nexthop`` ``0xFFFF0008`` ``65535:8``.
+   [Draft-IETF-agrewal-idr-accept-own-nexthop]_ describes
+   how to tag and label VPN routes to be able to send traffic between VRFs
+   via an internal layer 2 domain on the same PE device. Refer to
+   [Draft-IETF-agrewal-idr-accept-own-nexthop]_ for full details.
+
+``blackhole``
+   ``blackhole`` represents well-known communities value ``BLACKHOLE``
+   ``0xFFFF029A`` ``65535:666``. :rfc:`7999` documents sending prefixes to
+   EBGP peers and upstream for the purpose of blackholing traffic.
+   Prefixes tagged with the this community should normally not be
+   re-advertised from neighbors of the originating network. Upon receiving
+   ``BLACKHOLE`` community from a BGP speaker, ``NO_ADVERTISE`` community
+   is added automatically.
+
+``no-export``
+   ``no-export`` represents well-known communities value ``NO_EXPORT``
+   ``0xFFFFFF01``. All routes carry this value must not be advertised to
+   outside a BGP confederation boundary. If neighboring BGP peer is part of BGP
+   confederation, the peer is considered as inside a BGP confederation
+   boundary, so the route will be announced to the peer.
+
+``no-advertise``
+   ``no-advertise`` represents well-known communities value ``NO_ADVERTISE``
+   ``0xFFFFFF02``. All routes carry this value must not be advertise to other
+   BGP peers.
+
+``local-AS``
+   ``local-AS`` represents well-known communities value ``NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED``
+   ``0xFFFFFF03``. All routes carry this value must not be advertised to
+   external BGP peers. Even if the neighboring router is part of confederation,
+   it is considered as external BGP peer, so the route will not be announced to
+   the peer.
+
+``no-peer``
+   ``no-peer`` represents well-known communities value ``NOPEER``
+   ``0xFFFFFF04``  ``65535:65284``. :rfc:`3765` is used to communicate to
+   another network how the originating network want the prefix propagated.
+
+When the communities attribute is received duplicate community values in the
+attribute are ignored and value is sorted in numerical order.

+.. _bgp-community-lists:
+
+Community Lists
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Community lists are user defined lists of community attribute values. These
+lists can be used for matching or manipulating the communities attribute in
+UPDATE messages.
+
+There are two types of community list:
+
+standard
+   This type accepts an explicit value for the attribute.
+
+expanded
+   This type accepts a regular expression. Because the regex must be
+   interpreted on each use expanded community lists are slower than standard
+   lists.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp community-list standard NAME permit|deny COMMUNITY
+
+   This command defines a new standard community list. ``COMMUNITY`` is
+   communities value. The ``COMMUNITY`` is compiled into community structure.
+   We can define multiple community list under same name. In that case match
+   will happen user defined order. Once the community list matches to
+   communities attribute in BGP updates it return permit or deny by the
+   community list definition. When there is no matched entry, deny will be
+   returned. When ``COMMUNITY`` is empty it matches to any routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp community-list expanded NAME permit|deny COMMUNITY
+
+   This command defines a new expanded community list. ``COMMUNITY`` is a
+   string expression of communities attribute. ``COMMUNITY`` can be a regular
+   expression (:ref:`bgp-regular-expressions`) to match the communities
+   attribute in BGP updates. The expanded community is only used to filter,
+   not `set` actions.
+
+.. deprecated:: 5.0
+   It is recommended to use the more explicit versions of this command.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp community-list NAME permit|deny COMMUNITY
+
+   When the community list type is not specified, the community list type is
+   automatically detected. If ``COMMUNITY`` can be compiled into communities
+   attribute, the community list is defined as a standard community list.
+   Otherwise it is defined as an expanded community list. This feature is left
+   for backward compatibility. Use of this feature is not recommended.
+
+   Note that all community lists share the same namespace, so it's not
+   necessary to specify ``standard`` or ``expanded``; these modifiers are
+   purely aesthetic.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp community-list [NAME detail]
+
+   Displays community list information. When ``NAME`` is specified the
+   specified community list's information is shown.
+
+   ::

+
+
+.. _bgp-numbered-community-lists:
+
+Numbered Community Lists
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When number is used for BGP community list name, the number has
+special meanings. Community list number in the range from 1 and 99 is
+standard community list. Community list number in the range from 100
+to 500 is expanded community list. These community lists are called
+as numbered community lists. On the other hand normal community lists
+is called as named community lists.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp community-list (1-99) permit|deny COMMUNITY
+
+   This command defines a new community list. The argument to (1-99) defines
+   the list identifier.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp community-list (100-500) permit|deny COMMUNITY
+
+   This command defines a new expanded community list. The argument to
+   (100-500) defines the list identifier.
+
+.. _bgp-community-alias:
+
+Community alias
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+BGP community aliases are useful to quickly identify what communities are set
+for a specific prefix in a human-readable format. Especially handy for a huge
+amount of communities. Accurately defined aliases can help you faster spot
+things on the wire.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp community alias NAME ALIAS

+
+Using Communities in Route Maps
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In :ref:`route-map` we can match on or set the BGP communities attribute. Using
+this feature network operator can implement their network policy based on BGP
+communities attribute.
+
+The following commands can be used in route maps:
+
+.. clicmd:: match alias WORD
+
+   This command performs match to BGP updates using community alias WORD. When
+   the one of BGP communities value match to the one of community alias value in
+   community alias, it is match.
+
+.. clicmd:: match community WORD exact-match [exact-match]
+
+   This command perform match to BGP updates using community list WORD. When
+   the one of BGP communities value match to the one of communities value in
+   community list, it is match. When `exact-match` keyword is specified, match
+   happen only when BGP updates have completely same communities value
+   specified in the community list.
+
+.. clicmd:: set community <none|COMMUNITY> additive
+
+   This command sets the community value in BGP updates.  If the attribute is
+   already configured, the newly provided value replaces the old one unless the
+   ``additive`` keyword is specified, in which case the new value is appended
+   to the existing value.
+
+   If ``none`` is specified as the community value, the communities attribute
+   is not sent.
+
+   It is not possible to set an expanded community list.
+
+.. clicmd:: set comm-list WORD delete
+
+   This command remove communities value from BGP communities attribute.  The
+   ``word`` is community list name. When BGP route's communities value matches
+   to the community list ``word``, the communities value is removed. When all
+   of communities value is removed eventually, the BGP update's communities
+   attribute is completely removed.
+
+.. _bgp-communities-example:
+
+Example Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following configuration is exemplary of the most typical usage of BGP
+communities attribute. In the example, AS 7675 provides an upstream Internet
+connection to AS 100. When the following configuration exists in AS 7675, the
+network operator of AS 100 can set local preference in AS 7675 network by
+setting BGP communities attribute to the updates.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp 7675
+    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100
+    address-family ipv4 unicast
+     neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP in
+    exit-address-family
+   !
+   bgp community-list 70 permit 7675:70
+   bgp community-list 80 permit 7675:80
+   bgp community-list 90 permit 7675:90
+   !
+   route-map RMAP permit 10
+    match community 70
+    set local-preference 70
+   !
+   route-map RMAP permit 20
+    match community 80
+    set local-preference 80
+   !
+   route-map RMAP permit 30
+    match community 90
+    set local-preference 90
+
+
+The following configuration announces ``10.0.0.0/8`` from AS 100 to AS 7675.
+The route has communities value ``7675:80`` so when above configuration exists
+in AS 7675, the announced routes' local preference value will be set to 80.
+
+.. code-block:: frr

+
+
+The following configuration is an example of BGP route filtering using
+communities attribute. This configuration only permit BGP routes which has BGP
+communities value ``0:80`` or ``0:90``. The network operator can set special
+internal communities value at BGP border router, then limit the BGP route
+announcements into the internal network.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp 7675
+    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100

+   !
+   bgp community-list 1 permit 0:80 0:90
+   !
+   route-map RMAP permit in
+    match community 1
+
+
+The following example filters BGP routes which have a community value of
+``1:1``. When there is no match community-list returns ``deny``. To avoid
+filtering all routes, a ``permit`` line is set at the end of the
+community-list.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp 7675
+    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 100

+   bgp community-list standard FILTER permit
+   !
+   route-map RMAP permit 10
+    match community FILTER
+
+
+The communities value keyword ``internet`` has special meanings in standard
+community lists. In the below example ``internet`` matches all BGP routes even
+if the route does not have communities attribute at all. So community list
+``INTERNET`` is the same as ``FILTER`` in the previous example.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   bgp community-list standard INTERNET deny 1:1
+   bgp community-list standard INTERNET permit internet
+
+
+The following configuration is an example of communities value deletion.  With
+this configuration the community values ``100:1`` and ``100:2`` are removed
+from BGP updates. For communities value deletion, only ``permit``
+community-list is used. ``deny`` community-list is ignored.

+
+Extended Communities Attribute
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+BGP extended communities attribute is introduced with MPLS VPN/BGP technology.
+MPLS VPN/BGP expands capability of network infrastructure to provide VPN
+functionality. At the same time it requires a new framework for policy routing.
+With BGP Extended Communities Attribute we can use Route Target or Site of
+Origin for implementing network policy for MPLS VPN/BGP.
+
+BGP Extended Communities Attribute is similar to BGP Communities Attribute. It
+is an optional transitive attribute. BGP Extended Communities Attribute can
+carry multiple Extended Community value.  Each Extended Community value is
+eight octet length.
+
+BGP Extended Communities Attribute provides an extended range compared with BGP
+Communities Attribute. Adding to that there is a type field in each value to
+provides community space structure.
+
+There are two format to define Extended Community value. One is AS based format
+the other is IP address based format.
+
+``AS:VAL``
+   This is a format to define AS based Extended Community value.  ``AS`` part
+   is 2 octets Global Administrator subfield in Extended Community value.
+   ``VAL`` part is 4 octets Local Administrator subfield. ``7675:100``
+   represents AS 7675 policy value 100.
+
+``IP-Address:VAL``
+   This is a format to define IP address based Extended Community value.
+   ``IP-Address`` part is 4 octets Global Administrator subfield.  ``VAL`` part
+   is 2 octets Local Administrator subfield.
+
+.. _bgp-extended-community-lists:
+
+Extended Community Lists
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp extcommunity-list standard NAME permit|deny EXTCOMMUNITY
+
+   This command defines a new standard extcommunity-list. `extcommunity` is
+   extended communities value. The `extcommunity` is compiled into extended
+   community structure. We can define multiple extcommunity-list under same
+   name. In that case match will happen user defined order. Once the
+   extcommunity-list matches to extended communities attribute in BGP updates
+   it return permit or deny based upon the extcommunity-list definition. When
+   there is no matched entry, deny will be returned. When `extcommunity` is
+   empty it matches to any routes.
+
+   A special handling for ``internet`` community is applied. It matches
+   any community.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp extcommunity-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE
+
+   This command defines a new expanded extcommunity-list. `line` is a string
+   expression of extended communities attribute. `line` can be a regular
+   expression (:ref:`bgp-regular-expressions`) to match an extended communities
+   attribute in BGP updates.
+
+   Note that all extended community lists shares a single name space, so it's
+   not necessary to specify their type when creating or destroying them.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp extcommunity-list [NAME detail]
+
+   This command displays current extcommunity-list information. When `name` is

+
+.. clicmd:: match extcommunity WORD
+
+.. clicmd:: set extcommunity none
+
+   This command resets the extended community value in BGP updates. If the attribute is
+   already configured or received from the peer, the attribute is discarded and set to
+   none. This is useful if you need to strip incoming extended communities.
+
+.. clicmd:: set extcommunity rt EXTCOMMUNITY

+
+   This command sets the BGP link-bandwidth extended community for the prefix
+   (best path) for which it is applied. The link-bandwidth can be specified as
+   an ``explicit value`` (specified in Mbps), or the router can be told to use
+   the ``cumulative bandwidth`` of all multipaths for the prefix or to compute
+   it based on the ``number of multipaths``.  The link bandwidth extended
+   community is encoded as ``transitive`` unless the set command explicitly
+   configures it as ``non-transitive``.

+
+.. _bgp-large-communities-attribute:
+
+Large Communities Attribute
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The BGP Large Communities attribute was introduced in Feb 2017 with
+:rfc:`8092`.
+
+The BGP Large Communities Attribute is similar to the BGP Communities Attribute
+except that it has 3 components instead of two and each of which are 4 octets
+in length. Large Communities bring additional functionality and convenience
+over traditional communities, specifically the fact that the ``GLOBAL`` part
+below is now 4 octets wide allowing seamless use in networks using 4-byte ASNs.
+
+``GLOBAL:LOCAL1:LOCAL2``
+   This is the format to define Large Community values. Referencing :rfc:`8195`
+   the values are commonly referred to as follows:
+
+   - The ``GLOBAL`` part is a 4 octet Global Administrator field, commonly used
+     as the operators AS number.
+   - The ``LOCAL1`` part is a 4 octet Local Data Part 1 subfield referred to as
+     a function.
+   - The ``LOCAL2`` part is a 4 octet Local Data Part 2 field and referred to
+     as the parameter subfield.
+
+   As an example, ``65551:1:10`` represents AS 65551 function 1 and parameter
+   10. The referenced RFC above gives some guidelines on recommended usage.
+
+.. _bgp-large-community-lists:
+
+Large Community Lists
+"""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Two types of large community lists are supported, namely `standard` and
+`expanded`.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp large-community-list standard NAME permit|deny LARGE-COMMUNITY
+
+   This command defines a new standard large-community-list.  `large-community`
+   is the Large Community value. We can add multiple large communities under
+   same name. In that case the match will happen in the user defined order.
+   Once the large-community-list matches the Large Communities attribute in BGP
+   updates it will return permit or deny based upon the large-community-list
+   definition. When there is no matched entry, a deny will be returned. When
+   `large-community` is empty it matches any routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp large-community-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE
+
+   This command defines a new expanded large-community-list. Where `line` is a
+   string matching expression, it will be compared to the entire Large
+   Communities attribute as a string, with each large-community in order from
+   lowest to highest.  `line` can also be a regular expression which matches
+   this Large Community attribute.
+
+   Note that all community lists share the same namespace, so it's not
+   necessary to specify ``standard`` or ``expanded``; these modifiers are
+   purely aesthetic.
+

+
+.. _bgp-roles-and-only-to-customers:
+
+BGP Roles and Only to Customers
+-------------------------------
+
+BGP roles are defined in :rfc:`9234` and provide an easy way to route leaks
+prevention, detection and mitigation.
+
+To enable its mechanics, you must set your local role to reflect your type of
+peering relationship with your neighbor. Possible values of ``LOCAL-ROLE`` are:
+
+- provider
+- rs-server
+- rs-client
+- customer
+- peer
+
+The local Role value is negotiated with the new BGP Role capability with a
+built-in check of the corresponding value. In case of mismatch the new OPEN
+Roles Mismatch Notification <2, 11> would be sent.
+
+The correct Role pairs are:
+
+* Provider - Customer
+* Peer - Peer
+* RS-Server - RS-Client
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   ~# vtysh -c 'show bgp neighbor' | grep 'Role'
+     Local Role: customer
+     Neighbor Role: provider
+       Role: advertised and received
+
+If strict-mode is set BGP session won't become established until BGP neighbor
+set local Role on its side. This configuration parameter is defined in
+:rfc:`9234` and used to enforce corresponding configuration at your
+counter-part side. Default value - disabled.
+
+Routes that sent from provider, rs-server, or peer local-role (or if received
+by customer, rs-clinet, or peer local-role) will be marked with a new
+Only to Customer (OTC) attribute.
+
+Routes with this attribute can only be sent to your neighbor if your
+local-role is provider or rs-server. Routes with this attribute can be
+received only if your local-role is customer or rs-client.
+
+In case of peer-peer relationship routes can be received only if
+OTC value is equal to your neighbor AS number.
+
+All these rules with OTC help to detect and mitigate route leaks and
+happened automatically if local-role is set.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER local-role LOCAL-ROLE [strict-mode]
+
+   This command set your local-role to ``LOCAL-ROLE``:
+   <provider|rs-server|rs-client|customer|peer>.
+
+   This role helps to detect and prevent route leaks.
+
+   If ``strict-mode`` is set, your neighbor must send you Capability with the
+   value of his role (by setting local-role on his side). Otherwise, a Role
+   Mismatch Notification will be sent.
+
+.. _bgp-l3vpn-vrfs:
+
+L3VPN VRFs
+----------
+
+*bgpd* supports :abbr:`L3VPN (Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks)` :abbr:`VRFs
+(Virtual Routing and Forwarding)` for IPv4 :rfc:`4364` and IPv6 :rfc:`4659`.
+L3VPN routes, and their associated VRF MPLS labels, can be distributed to VPN
+SAFI neighbors in the *default*, i.e., non VRF, BGP instance. VRF MPLS labels
+are reached using *core* MPLS labels which are distributed using LDP or BGP
+labeled unicast.  *bgpd* also supports inter-VRF route leaking.
+
+
+L3VPN over GRE interfaces
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In MPLS-VPN or SRv6-VPN, an L3VPN next-hop entry requires that the path
+chosen respectively contains a labelled path or a valid SID IPv6 address.
+Otherwise the L3VPN entry will not be installed. It is possible to ignore
+that check when the path chosen by the next-hop uses a GRE interface, and
+there is a route-map configured at inbound side of ipv4-vpn or ipv6-vpn
+address family with following syntax:
+
+.. clicmd:: set l3vpn next-hop encapsulation gre
+
+The incoming BGP L3VPN entry is accepted, provided that the next hop of the
+L3VPN entry uses a path that takes the GRE tunnel as outgoing interface. The
+remote endpoint should be configured just behind the GRE tunnel; remote
+device configuration may vary depending whether it acts at edge endpoint or
+not: in any case, the expectation is that incoming MPLS traffic received at
+this endpoint should be considered as a valid path for L3VPN.
+
+.. _bgp-vrf-route-leaking:
+
+VRF Route Leaking
+-----------------
+
+BGP routes may be leaked (i.e. copied) between a unicast VRF RIB and the VPN
+SAFI RIB of the default VRF for use in MPLS-based L3VPNs. Unicast routes may
+also be leaked between any VRFs (including the unicast RIB of the default BGP
+instanced). A shortcut syntax is also available for specifying leaking from one
+VRF to another VRF using the default instance's VPN RIB as the intermediary. A
+common application of the VRF-VRF feature is to connect a customer's private
+routing domain to a provider's VPN service. Leaking is configured from the
+point of view of an individual VRF: ``import`` refers to routes leaked from VPN
+to a unicast VRF, whereas ``export`` refers to routes leaked from a unicast VRF
+to VPN.
+
+Required parameters
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Routes exported from a unicast VRF to the VPN RIB must be augmented by two
+parameters:
+
+- an :abbr:`RD (Route Distinguisher)`
+- an :abbr:`RTLIST (Route-target List)`
+
+Configuration for these exported routes must, at a minimum, specify these two
+parameters.
+
+Routes imported from the VPN RIB to a unicast VRF are selected according to
+their RTLISTs.  Routes whose RTLIST contains at least one route-target in
+common with the configured import RTLIST are leaked.  Configuration for these
+imported routes must specify an RTLIST to be matched.
+
+The RD, which carries no semantic value, is intended to make the route unique
+in the VPN RIB among all routes of its prefix that originate from all the
+customers and sites that are attached to the provider's VPN service.
+Accordingly, each site of each customer is typically assigned an RD that is
+unique across the entire provider network.
+
+The RTLIST is a set of route-target extended community values whose purpose is
+to specify route-leaking policy. Typically, a customer is assigned a single
+route-target value for import and export to be used at all customer sites. This
+configuration specifies a simple topology wherein a customer has a single
+routing domain which is shared across all its sites. More complex routing
+topologies are possible through use of additional route-targets to augment the
+leaking of sets of routes in various ways.
+
+When using the shortcut syntax for vrf-to-vrf leaking, the RD and RT are
+auto-derived.
+
+General configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Configuration of route leaking between a unicast VRF RIB and the VPN SAFI RIB
+of the default VRF is accomplished via commands in the context of a VRF
+address-family:
+
+.. clicmd:: rd vpn export AS:NN|IP:nn
+
+   Specifies the route distinguisher to be added to a route exported from the
+   current unicast VRF to VPN.
+
+.. clicmd:: rt vpn import|export|both RTLIST...
+
+   Specifies the route-target list to be attached to a route (export) or the
+   route-target list to match against (import) when exporting/importing between
+   the current unicast VRF and VPN.
+
+   The RTLIST is a space-separated list of route-targets, which are BGP
+   extended community values as described in
+   :ref:`bgp-extended-communities-attribute`.
+
+.. clicmd:: label vpn export (0..1048575)|auto
+
+   Enables an MPLS label to be attached to a route exported from the current
+   unicast VRF to VPN. If the value specified is ``auto``, the label value is
+   automatically assigned from a pool maintained by the Zebra daemon. If Zebra
+   is not running, or if this command is not configured, automatic label
+   assignment will not complete, which will block corresponding route export.
+
+.. clicmd:: nexthop vpn export A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X
+
+   Specifies an optional nexthop value to be assigned to a route exported from
+   the current unicast VRF to VPN. If left unspecified, the nexthop will be set
+   to 0.0.0.0 or 0:0::0:0 (self).
+
+.. clicmd:: route-map vpn import|export MAP
+
+   Specifies an optional route-map to be applied to routes imported or exported
+   between the current unicast VRF and VPN.
+
+.. clicmd:: import|export vpn
+
+   Enables import or export of routes between the current unicast VRF and VPN.
+
+.. clicmd:: import vrf VRFNAME
+
+   Shortcut syntax for specifying automatic leaking from vrf VRFNAME to
+   the current VRF using the VPN RIB as intermediary.  The RD and RT
+   are auto derived and should not be specified explicitly for either the
+   source or destination VRF's.
+
+   This shortcut syntax mode is not compatible with the explicit
+   `import vpn` and `export vpn` statements for the two VRF's involved.
+   The CLI will disallow attempts to configure incompatible leaking
+   modes.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp retain route-target all
+
+It is possible to retain or not VPN prefixes that are not imported by local
+VRF configuration. This can be done via the following command in the context
+of the global VPNv4/VPNv6 family. This command defaults to on and is not
+displayed.
+The `no bgp retain route-target all` form of the command is displayed.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> soo EXTCOMMUNITY
+
+Without this command, SoO extended community attribute is configured using
+an inbound route map that sets the SoO value during the update process.
+With the introduction of the new BGP per-neighbor Site-of-Origin (SoO) feature,
+two new commands configured in sub-modes under router configuration mode
+simplify the SoO value configuration.
+
+If we configure SoO per neighbor at PEs, the SoO community is automatically
+added for all routes from the CPEs. Routes are validated and prevented from
+being sent back to the same CPE (e.g.: multi-site). This is especially needed
+when using ``as-override`` or ``allowas-in`` to prevent routing loops.
+
+.. clicmd:: mpls bgp forwarding
+
+It is possible to permit BGP install VPN prefixes without transport labels,
+by issuing the following command under the interface configuration context.
+This configuration will install VPN prefixes originated from an e-bgp session,
+and with the next-hop directly connected.
+
+.. _bgp-l3vpn-srv6:
+
+L3VPN SRv6
+----------
+
+.. clicmd:: segment-routing srv6
+
+   Use SRv6 backend with BGP L3VPN, and go to its configuration node.
+
+.. clicmd:: locator NAME
+
+   Specify the SRv6 locator to be used for SRv6 L3VPN. The Locator name must
+   be set in zebra, but user can set it in any order.
+
+.. _bgp-evpn:
+
+Ethernet Virtual Network - EVPN
+-------------------------------
+
+Note: When using EVPN features and if you have a large number of hosts, make
+sure to adjust the size of the arp  neighbor cache to avoid neighbor table
+overflow and/or excessive garbage collection. On Linux, the size of the table
+and garbage collection frequency can be controlled via the following
+sysctl configurations:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1
+   net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2
+   net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3
+
+   net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh1
+   net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh2
+   net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh3
+
+For more information, see ``man 7 arp``.
+
+.. _bgp-evpn-advertise-pip:
+
+EVPN advertise-PIP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In a EVPN symmetric routing MLAG deployment, all EVPN routes advertised
+with anycast-IP as next-hop IP and anycast MAC as the Router MAC (RMAC - in
+BGP EVPN Extended-Community).
+EVPN picks up the next-hop IP from the VxLAN interface's local tunnel IP and
+the RMAC is obtained from the MAC of the L3VNI's SVI interface.
+Note: Next-hop IP is used for EVPN routes whether symmetric routing is
+deployed or not but the RMAC is only relevant for symmetric routing scenario.
+
+Current behavior is not ideal for Prefix (type-5) and self (type-2)
+routes. This is because the traffic from remote VTEPs routed sub optimally
+if they land on the system where the route does not belong.
+
+The advertise-pip feature advertises Prefix (type-5) and self (type-2)
+routes with system's individual (primary) IP as the next-hop and individual
+(system) MAC as Router-MAC (RMAC), while leaving the behavior unchanged for
+other EVPN routes.
+
+To support this feature there needs to have ability to co-exist a
+(system-MAC, system-IP) pair with a (anycast-MAC, anycast-IP) pair with the
+ability to terminate VxLAN-encapsulated packets received for either pair on
+the same L3VNI (i.e associated VLAN). This capability is needed per tenant
+VRF instance.
+
+To derive the system-MAC and the anycast MAC, there must be a
+separate/additional MAC-VLAN interface corresponding to L3VNI’s SVI.
+The SVI interface’s MAC address can be interpreted as system-MAC
+and MAC-VLAN interface's MAC as anycast MAC.
+
+To derive system-IP and anycast-IP, the default BGP instance's router-id is used
+as system-IP and the VxLAN interface’s local tunnel IP as the anycast-IP.
+
+User has an option to configure the system-IP and/or system-MAC value if the
+auto derived value is not preferred.
+
+Note: By default, advertise-pip feature is enabled and user has an option to
+disable the feature via configuration CLI. Once the feature is disabled under
+bgp vrf instance or MAC-VLAN interface is not configured, all the routes follow
+the same behavior of using same next-hop and RMAC values.
+
+.. clicmd:: advertise-pip [ip <addr> [mac <addr>]]
+
+Enables or disables advertise-pip feature, specify system-IP and/or system-MAC
+parameters.
+
+EVPN advertise-svi-ip
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Typically, the SVI IP address is reused on VTEPs across multiple racks. However,
+if you have unique SVI IP addresses that you want to be reachable you can use the
+advertise-svi-ip option. This option advertises the SVI IP/MAC address as a type-2
+route and eliminates the need for any flooding over VXLAN to reach the IP from a
+remote VTEP.
+
+.. clicmd:: advertise-svi-ip
+
+Note that you should not enable both the advertise-svi-ip and the advertise-default-gw
+at the same time.
+
+.. _bgp-evpn-overlay-index-gateway-ip:
+
+EVPN Overlay Index Gateway IP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9136 explains the use of overlay
+indexes for recursive route resolution for EVPN type-5 route.
+
+We support gateway IP overlay index.
+A gateway IP, advertised with EVPN prefix route, is used to find an EVPN MAC/IP
+route with its IP field same as the gateway IP. This MAC/IP entry provides the
+nexthop VTEP and the tunnel information required for the VxLAN encapsulation.

+advertises SN1 to PE1 over BGP IPv4 session. PE1 advertises SN1 to PE2 using
+EVPN type-5 route with host1 IP as the gateway IP. PE1 also advertises
+Host1 MAC/IP as type-2 route which is used to resolve host1 gateway IP.
+
+PE2 receives this type-5 route and imports it into the vrf based on route
+targets. BGP prefix imported into the vrf uses gateway IP as its BGP nexthop.
+This route is installed into zebra if following conditions are satisfied:
+
+1. Gateway IP nexthop is L3 reachable.
+2. PE2 has received EVPN type-2 route with IP field set to gateway IP.
+
+Topology requirements:
+
+1. This feature is supported for asymmetric routing model only. While
+   sending packets to SN1, ingress PE (PE2) performs routing and
+   egress PE (PE1) performs only bridging.
+2. This feature supports only traditional(non vlan-aware) bridge model. Bridge
+   interface associated with L2VNI is an L3 interface. i.e., this interface is
+   configured with an address in the L2VNI subnet. Note that the gateway IP
+   should also have an address in the same subnet.
+3. As this feature works in asymmetric routing model, all L2VNIs and corresponding
+   VxLAN and bridge interfaces should be present at all the PEs.
+4. L3VNI configuration is required to generate and import EVPN type-5 routes.
+   L3VNI VxLAN and bridge interfaces also should be present.
+
+A PE can use one of the following two mechanisms to advertise an EVPN type-5
+route with gateway IP.
+
+1. CLI to add gateway IP while generating EVPN type-5 route from a BGP IPv4/IPv6
+prefix:
+
+.. clicmd:: advertise <ipv4|ipv6> unicast [gateway-ip]
+
+When this CLI is configured for a BGP vrf under L2VPN EVPN address family, EVPN
+type-5 routes are generated for BGP prefixes in the vrf. Nexthop of the BGP
+prefix becomes the gateway IP of the corresponding type-5 route.
+
+If the above command is configured without the "gateway-ip" keyword, type-5
+routes are generated without overlay index.
+
+2. Add gateway IP to EVPN type-5 route using a route-map:
+
+.. clicmd:: set evpn gateway-ip <ipv4|ipv6> <addr>
+
+When route-map with above set clause is applied as outbound policy in BGP, it
+will set the gateway-ip in EVPN type-5 NLRI.
+
+Example configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp 100
+    neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 101
+    !
+    address-family ipv4 l2vpn evpn
+     neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP out
+    exit-address-family
+   !
+   route-map RMAP permit 10
+    set evpn gateway-ip 10.0.0.1
+    set evpn gateway-ip 10::1
+
+A PE that receives a type-5 route with gateway IP overlay index should have
+"enable-resolve-overlay-index" configuration enabled to recursively resolve the
+overlay index nexthop and install the prefix into zebra.
+
+.. clicmd:: enable-resolve-overlay-index
+
+Example configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp 65001
+    bgp router-id 192.168.100.1
+    no bgp ebgp-requires-policy
+    neighbor 10.0.1.2 remote-as 65002

+    exit-address-family

+
+.. _bgp-evpn-mh:
+
+EVPN Multihoming
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+All-Active Multihoming is used for redundancy and load sharing. Servers
+are attached to two or more PEs and the links are bonded (link-aggregation).
+This group of server links is referred to as an Ethernet Segment.
+
+Ethernet Segments
+"""""""""""""""""
+An Ethernet Segment can be configured by specifying a system-MAC and a
+local discriminator or a complete ESINAME against the bond interface on the
+PE (via zebra) -
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh es-id <(1-16777215)|ESINAME>
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh es-sys-mac X:X:X:X:X:X
+
+The sys-mac and local discriminator are used for generating a 10-byte,
+Type-3 Ethernet Segment ID. ESINAME is a 10-byte, Type-0 Ethernet Segment ID -
+"00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF:GG:HH:II".
+
+Type-1 (EAD-per-ES and EAD-per-EVI) routes are used to advertise the locally
+attached ESs and to learn off remote ESs in the network. Local Type-2/MAC-IP
+routes are also advertised with a destination ESI allowing for MAC-IP syncing
+between Ethernet Segment peers.
+Reference: RFC 7432, RFC 8365
+
+EVPN-MH is intended as a replacement for MLAG or Anycast VTEPs. In
+multihoming each PE has an unique VTEP address which requires the introduction
+of a new dataplane construct, MAC-ECMP. Here a MAC/FDB entry can point to a
+list of remote PEs/VTEPs.
+
+BUM handling
+""""""""""""
+Type-4 (ESR) routes are used for Designated Forwarder (DF) election. DFs
+forward BUM traffic received via the overlay network. This implementation
+uses a preference based DF election specified by draft-ietf-bess-evpn-pref-df.
+The DF preference is configurable per-ES (via zebra) -
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh es-df-pref (1-16777215)
+
+BUM traffic is rxed via the overlay by all PEs attached to a server but
+only the DF can forward the de-capsulated traffic to the access port. To
+accommodate that non-DF filters are installed in the dataplane to drop
+the traffic.
+
+Similarly traffic received from ES peers via the overlay cannot be forwarded
+to the server. This is split-horizon-filtering with local bias.
+
+Knobs for interop
+"""""""""""""""""
+Some vendors do not send EAD-per-EVI routes. To interop with them we
+need to relax the dependency on EAD-per-EVI routes and activate a remote
+ES-PE based on just the EAD-per-ES route.
+
+Note that by default we advertise and expect EAD-per-EVI routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: disable-ead-evi-rx
+
+.. clicmd:: disable-ead-evi-tx
+
+Fast failover
+"""""""""""""
+As the primary purpose of EVPN-MH is redundancy keeping the failover efficient
+is a recurring theme in the implementation. Following sub-features have
+been introduced for the express purpose of efficient ES failovers.
+
+- Layer-2 Nexthop Groups and MAC-ECMP via L2NHG.
+
+- Host routes (for symmetric IRB) via L3NHG.
+  On dataplanes that support layer3 nexthop groups the feature can be turned
+  on via the following BGP config -
+
+.. clicmd:: use-es-l3nhg
+
+- Local ES (MAC/Neigh) failover via ES-redirect.
+  On dataplanes that do not have support for ES-redirect the feature can be
+  turned off via the following zebra config -
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh redirect-off
+
+Uplink/Core tracking
+""""""""""""""""""""
+When all the underlay links go down the PE no longer has access to the VxLAN
++overlay. To prevent blackholing of traffic the server/ES links are
+protodowned on the PE. A link can be setup for uplink tracking via the
+following zebra configuration -
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh uplink
+
+Proxy advertisements
+""""""""""""""""""""
+To handle hitless upgrades support for proxy advertisement has been added
+as specified by draft-rbickhart-evpn-ip-mac-proxy-adv. This allows a PE
+(say PE1) to proxy advertise a MAC-IP rxed from an ES peer (say PE2). When
+the ES peer (PE2) goes down PE1 continues to advertise hosts learnt from PE2
+for a holdtime during which it attempts to establish local reachability of
+the host. This holdtime is configurable via the following zebra commands -
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh neigh-holdtime (0-86400)
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh mac-holdtime (0-86400)
+
+Startup delay
+"""""""""""""
+When a switch is rebooted we wait for a brief period to allow the underlay
+and EVPN network to converge before enabling the ESs. For this duration the
+ES bonds are held protodown. The startup delay is configurable via the
+following zebra command -
+
+.. clicmd:: evpn mh startup-delay (0-3600)
+
+EAD-per-ES fragmentation
+""""""""""""""""""""""""
+The EAD-per-ES route carries the EVI route targets for all the broadcast
+domains associated with the ES. Depending on the EVI scale the EAD-per-ES
+route maybe fragmented.
+
+The number of EVIs per-EAD route can be configured via the following
+BGP command -
+
+.. clicmd:: [no] ead-es-frag evi-limit (1-1000)
+
+Sample Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+    !
+    router bgp 5556
+     !
+     address-family l2vpn evpn
+      ead-es-frag evi-limit 200
+     exit-address-family
+     !
+    !
+
+EAD-per-ES route-target
+"""""""""""""""""""""""
+The EAD-per-ES route by default carries all the EVI route targets. Depending
+on EVI scale that can result in route fragmentation. In some cases it maybe
+necessary to avoid this fragmentation and that can be done via the following
+workaround -
+1. Configure a single supplementary BD per-tenant VRF. This SBD needs to
+be provisioned on all EVPN PEs associated with the tenant-VRF.
+2. Config the SBD's RT as the EAD-per-ES route's export RT.
+
+Sample Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+    !
+    router bgp 5556
+     !
+     address-family l2vpn evpn
+      ead-es-route-target export 5556:1001
+      ead-es-route-target export 5556:1004
+      ead-es-route-target export 5556:1008
+     exit-address-family
+    !
+
+Support with VRF network namespace backend
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+It is possible to separate overlay networks contained in VXLAN interfaces from
+underlay networks by using VRFs. VRF-lite and VRF-netns backends can be used for
+that. In the latter case, it is necessary to set both bridge and vxlan interface
+in the same network namespace, as below example illustrates:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # linux shell
+   ip netns add vrf1
+   ip link add name vxlan101 type vxlan id 101 dstport 4789 dev eth0 local 10.1.1.1
+   ip link set dev vxlan101 netns vrf1
+   ip netns exec vrf1 ip link set dev lo up
+   ip netns exec vrf1 brctl addbr bridge101
+   ip netns exec vrf1 brctl addif bridge101 vxlan101
+
+This makes it possible to separate not only layer 3 networks like VRF-lite networks.
+Also, VRF netns based make possible to separate layer 2 networks on separate VRF
+instances.
+
+.. _bgp-conditional-advertisement:
+
+BGP Conditional Advertisement
+-----------------------------
+The BGP conditional advertisement feature uses the ``non-exist-map`` or the
+``exist-map`` and the ``advertise-map`` keywords of the neighbor advertise-map
+command in order to track routes by the route prefix.
+
+``non-exist-map``
+   1. If a route prefix is not present in the output of non-exist-map command,
+      then advertise the route specified by the advertise-map command.
+
+   2. If a route prefix is present in the output of non-exist-map command,
+      then do not advertise the route specified by the addvertise-map command.
+
+``exist-map``
+   1. If a route prefix is present in the output of exist-map command,
+      then advertise the route specified by the advertise-map command.
+
+   2. If a route prefix is not present in the output of exist-map command,
+      then do not advertise the route specified by the advertise-map command.
+
+This feature is useful when some prefixes are advertised to one of its peers
+only if the information from the other peer is not present (due to failure in
+peering session or partial reachability etc).
+
+The conditional BGP announcements are sent in addition to the normal
+announcements that a BGP router sends to its peer.
+
+The conditional advertisement process is triggered by the BGP scanner process,
+which runs every 60 by default. This means that the maximum time for the
+conditional advertisement to take effect is the value of the process timer.
+
+As an optimization, while the process always runs on each timer expiry, it
+determines whether or not the conditional advertisement policy or the routing
+table has changed; if neither have changed, no processing is necessary and the
+scanner exits early.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D advertise-map NAME [exist-map|non-exist-map] NAME
+
+   This command enables BGP scanner process to monitor routes specified by
+   exist-map or non-exist-map command in BGP table and conditionally advertises
+   the routes specified by advertise-map command.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp conditional-advertisement timer (5-240)
+
+   Set the period to rerun the conditional advertisement scanner process. The
+   default is 60 seconds.

+
+Other BGP Commands
+------------------
+
+The following are available in the top level *enable* mode:
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp \*
+
+   Clear all peers.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp ipv4|ipv6 \*
+
+   Clear all peers with this address-family activated.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp ipv4|ipv6 unicast \*
+
+   Clear all peers with this address-family and sub-address-family activated.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp ipv4|ipv6 PEER
+
+   Clear peers with address of X.X.X.X and this address-family activated.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp ipv4|ipv6 unicast PEER
+
+   Clear peer with address of X.X.X.X and this address-family and sub-address-family activated.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp ipv4|ipv6 PEER soft|in|out
+
+   Clear peer using soft reconfiguration in this address-family.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp ipv4|ipv6 unicast PEER soft|in|out
+
+   Clear peer using soft reconfiguration in this address-family and sub-address-family.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear bgp [ipv4|ipv6] [unicast] PEER|\* message-stats
+
+   Clear BGP message statistics for a specified peer or for all peers,
+   optionally filtered by activated address-family and sub-address-family.
+
+The following are available in the ``router bgp`` mode:
+
+.. clicmd:: write-quanta (1-64)
+
+   BGP message Tx I/O is vectored. This means that multiple packets are written
+   to the peer socket at the same time each I/O cycle, in order to minimize
+   system call overhead. This value controls how many are written at a time.
+   Under certain load conditions, reducing this value could make peer traffic
+   less 'bursty'. In practice, leave this settings on the default (64) unless
+   you truly know what you are doing.
+
+.. clicmd:: read-quanta (1-10)
+
+   Unlike Tx, BGP Rx traffic is not vectored. Packets are read off the wire one
+   at a time in a loop. This setting controls how many iterations the loop runs
+   for. As with write-quanta, it is best to leave this setting on the default.
+
+The following command is available in ``config`` mode as well as in the
+``router bgp`` mode:
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-shutdown
+
+   The purpose of this command is to initiate BGP Graceful Shutdown which
+   is described in :rfc:`8326`. The use case for this is to minimize or
+   eliminate the amount of traffic loss in a network when a planned
+   maintenance activity such as software upgrade or hardware replacement
+   is to be performed on a router. The feature works by re-announcing
+   routes to eBGP peers with the GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN community included.
+   Peers are then expected to treat such paths with the lowest preference.
+   This happens automatically on a receiver running FRR; with other
+   routing protocol stacks, an inbound policy may have to be configured.
+   In FRR, triggering graceful shutdown also results in announcing a
+   LOCAL_PREF of 0 to iBGP peers.
+
+   Graceful shutdown can be configured per BGP instance or globally for
+   all of BGP. These two options are mutually exclusive. The no form of
+   the command causes graceful shutdown to be stopped, and routes will
+   be re-announced without the GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN community and/or with
+   the usual LOCAL_PREF value. Note that if this option is saved to
+   the startup configuration, graceful shutdown will remain in effect
+   across restarts of *bgpd* and will need to be explicitly disabled.
+
+.. _bgp-displaying-bgp-information:
+
+Displaying BGP Information
+==========================
+
+The following four commands display the IPv6 and IPv4 routing tables, depending
+on whether or not the ``ip`` keyword is used.
+Actually, :clicmd:`show ip bgp` command was used on older `Quagga` routing
+daemon project, while :clicmd:`show bgp` command is the new format. The choice
+has been done to keep old format with IPv4 routing table, while new format
+displays IPv6 routing table.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip bgp [all] [wide|json [detail]]
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip bgp A.B.C.D [json]
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp [all] [wide|json [detail]]
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp X:X::X:X [json]
+
+   These commands display BGP routes. When no route is specified, the default
+   is to display all BGP routes.
+
+   ::
+
+      BGP table version is 0, local router ID is 10.1.1.1
+         Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal
+         Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

+
+         Total number of prefixes 1
+
+   If ``wide`` option is specified, then the prefix table's width is increased
+   to fully display the prefix and the nexthop.
+
+   This is especially handy dealing with IPv6 prefixes and
+   if :clicmd:`[no] bgp default show-nexthop-hostname` is enabled.
+
+   If ``all`` option is specified, ``ip`` keyword is ignored, show bgp all and
+   show ip bgp all commands display routes for all AFIs and SAFIs.
+
+   If ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.
+
+   If ``detail`` option is specified after ``json``, more verbose JSON output
+   will be displayed.
+
+Some other commands provide additional options for filtering the output.
+
+.. clicmd:: show [ip] bgp regexp LINE
+
+   This command displays BGP routes using AS path regular expression
+   (:ref:`bgp-regular-expressions`).
+
+.. clicmd:: show [ip] bgp [all] summary [wide] [json]
+
+   Show a bgp peer summary for the specified address family.
+
+The old command structure :clicmd:`show ip bgp` may be removed in the future
+and should no longer be used. In order to reach the other BGP routing tables
+other than the IPv6 routing table given by :clicmd:`show bgp`, the new command
+structure is extended with :clicmd:`show bgp [afi] [safi]`.
+
+``wide`` option gives more output like ``LocalAS`` and extended ``Desc`` to
+64 characters.

+
+   These commands display BGP routes for the specific routing table indicated by
+   the selected afi and the selected safi. If no afi and no safi value is given,
+   the command falls back to the default IPv6 routing table.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp l2vpn evpn route [type <macip|2|multicast|3|es|4|prefix|5>]
+
+   EVPN prefixes can also be filtered by EVPN route type.

+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp [afi] [safi] [all] summary neighbor [PEER] [json]
+
+   Show a bgp summary for the specified peer, address family, and
+   subsequent address-family. The neighbor filter can be used in combination
+   with the failed, established filters.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp [afi] [safi] [all] summary remote-as <internal|external|ASN> [json]
+
+   Show a bgp peer summary for the specified remote-as ASN or type (``internal``
+   for iBGP and ``external`` for eBGP sessions), address family, and subsequent
+   address-family. The remote-as filter can be used in combination with the
+   failed, established filters.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp [afi] [safi] [all] summary terse [json]
+
+   Shorten the output. Do not show the following information about the BGP
+   instances: the number of RIB entries, the table version and the used memory.
+   The ``terse`` option can be used in combination with the remote-as, neighbor,
+   failed and established filters, and with the ``wide`` option as well.
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp [afi] [safi] [neighbor [PEER] [routes|advertised-routes|received-routes] [json]
+
+   This command shows information on a specific BGP peer of the relevant
+   afi and safi selected.
+
+   The ``routes`` keyword displays only routes in this address-family's BGP
+   table that were received by this peer and accepted by inbound policy.
+
+   The ``advertised-routes`` keyword displays only the routes in this
+   address-family's BGP table that were permitted by outbound policy and
+   advertised to to this peer.
+
+   The ``received-routes`` keyword displays all routes belonging to this

+
+
+.. _bgp-route-reflector:
+
+Route Reflector
+===============
+
+BGP routers connected inside the same AS through BGP belong to an internal
+BGP session, or IBGP. In order to prevent routing table loops, IBGP does not
+advertise IBGP-learned routes to other routers in the same session. As such,
+IBGP requires a full mesh of all peers. For large networks, this quickly becomes
+unscalable. Introducing route reflectors removes the need for the full-mesh.
+
+When route reflectors are configured, these will reflect the routes announced
+by the peers configured as clients. A route reflector client is configured
+with:
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER route-reflector-client
+
+
+To avoid single points of failure, multiple route reflectors can be configured.
+
+A cluster is a collection of route reflectors and their clients, and is used
+by route reflectors to avoid looping.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp cluster-id A.B.C.D
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp no-rib
+
+To set and unset the BGP daemon ``-n`` / ``--no_kernel`` options during runtime
+to disable BGP route installation to the RIB (Zebra), the ``[no] bgp no-rib``
+commands can be used;
+
+Please note that setting the option during runtime will withdraw all routes in
+the daemons RIB from Zebra and unsetting it will announce all routes in the
+daemons RIB to Zebra. If the option is passed as a command line argument when
+starting the daemon and the configuration gets saved, the option will persist
+unless removed from the configuration with the negating command prior to the
+configuration write operation.  At this point in time non SAFI_UNICAST BGP
+data is not properly withdrawn from zebra when this command is issued.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp allow-martian-nexthop
+
+When a peer receives a martian nexthop as part of the NLRI for a route
+permit the nexthop to be used as such, instead of rejecting and resetting
+the connection.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp send-extra-data zebra
+
+This command turns on the ability of BGP to send extra data to zebra. Currently,
+it's the AS-Path, communities, and the path selection reason. The default
+behavior in BGP is not to send this data. If the routes were sent to zebra and
+the option is changed, bgpd doesn't reinstall the routes to comply with the new
+setting.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp session-dscp (0-63)
+
+This command allows bgp to control, at a global level, the TCP dscp values
+in the TCP header.
+
+.. _bgp-suppress-fib:
+
+Suppressing routes not installed in FIB
+=======================================
+
+The FRR implementation of BGP advertises prefixes learnt from a peer to other
+peers even if the routes do not get installed in the FIB. There can be
+scenarios where the hardware tables in some of the routers (along the path from
+the source to destination) is full which will result in all routes not getting
+installed in the FIB. If these routes are advertised to the downstream routers
+then traffic will start flowing and will be dropped at the intermediate router.
+
+The solution is to provide a configurable option to check for the FIB install
+status of the prefixes and advertise to peers if the prefixes are successfully
+installed in the FIB. The advertisement of the prefixes are suppressed if it is
+not installed in FIB.
+
+The following conditions apply will apply when checking for route installation
+status in FIB:
+
+1. The advertisement or suppression of routes based on FIB install status
+   applies only for newly learnt routes from peer (routes which are not in
+   BGP local RIB).
+2. If the route received from peer already exists in BGP local RIB and route
+   attributes have changed (best path changed), the old path is deleted and
+   new path is installed in FIB. The FIB install status will not have any
+   effect. Therefore only when the route is received first time the checks
+   apply.
+3. The feature will not apply for routes learnt through other means like
+   redistribution to bgp from other protocols. This is applicable only to
+   peer learnt routes.
+4. If a route is installed in FIB and then gets deleted from the dataplane,
+   then routes will not be withdrawn from peers. This will be considered as
+   dataplane issue.
+5. The feature will slightly increase the time required to advertise the routes
+   to peers since the route install status needs to be received from the FIB
+6. If routes are received by the peer before the configuration is applied, then
+   the bgp sessions need to be reset for the configuration to take effect.
+7. If the route which is already installed in dataplane is removed for some
+   reason, sending withdraw message to peers is not currently supported.
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp suppress-fib-pending
+
+   This command is applicable at the global level and at an individual
+   bgp level.  If applied at the global level all bgp instances will
+   wait for fib installation before announcing routes and there is no
+   way to turn it off for a particular bgp vrf.
+
+.. _routing-policy:
+
+Routing Policy
+==============
+
+You can set different routing policy for a peer. For example, you can set
+different filter for a peer.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   !
+   router bgp 1 view 1
+    neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
+    address-family ipv4 unicast
+     neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 1 in
+    exit-address-family
+   !
+   router bgp 1 view 2
+    neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2
+    address-family ipv4 unicast
+     neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 2 in
+    exit-address-family
+
+This means BGP update from a peer 10.0.0.1 goes to both BGP view 1 and view 2.
+When the update is inserted into view 1, distribute-list 1 is applied. On the
+other hand, when the update is inserted into view 2, distribute-list 2 is
+applied.
+
+
+.. _bgp-regular-expressions:
+
+BGP Regular Expressions
+=======================
+
+BGP regular expressions are based on :t:`POSIX 1003.2` regular expressions. The
+following description is just a quick subset of the POSIX regular expressions.
+
+
+.\*
+   Matches any single character.
+
+\*
+   Matches 0 or more occurrences of pattern.
+
+\+
+   Matches 1 or more occurrences of pattern.
+
+?
+   Match 0 or 1 occurrences of pattern.
+
+^
+   Matches the beginning of the line.
+
+$
+   Matches the end of the line.
+
+_
+   The ``_`` character has special meanings in BGP regular expressions.  It
+   matches to space and comma , and AS set delimiter ``{`` and ``}`` and AS
+   confederation delimiter ``(`` and ``)``. And it also matches to the
+   beginning of the line and the end of the line. So ``_`` can be used for AS
+   value boundaries match. This character technically evaluates to
+   ``(^|[,{}()]|$)``.

+
+BGP tcp-mss support
+===================
+TCP provides a mechanism for the user to specify the max segment size.
+setsockopt API is used to set the max segment size for TCP session. We
+can configure this as part of BGP neighbor configuration.
+
+This document explains how to avoid ICMP vulnerability issues by limiting
+TCP max segment size when you are using MTU discovery. Using MTU discovery
+on TCP paths is one method of avoiding BGP packet fragmentation.
+
+TCP negotiates a maximum segment size (MSS) value during session connection
+establishment between two peers. The MSS value negotiated is primarily based
+on the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the interfaces to which the
+communicating peers are directly connected. However, due to variations in
+link MTU on the path taken by the TCP packets, some packets in the network
+that are well within the MSS value might be fragmented when the packet size
+exceeds the link's MTU.
+
+This feature is supported with TCP over IPv4 and TCP over IPv6.
+
+CLI Configuration:
+------------------
+Below configuration can be done in router bgp mode and allows the user to
+configure the tcp-mss value per neighbor. The configuration gets applied
+only after hard reset is performed on that neighbor. If we configure tcp-mss
+on both the neighbors then both neighbors need to be reset.
+
+The configuration takes effect based on below rules, so there is a configured
+tcp-mss and a synced tcp-mss value per TCP session.
+
+By default if the configuration is not done then the TCP max segment size is
+set to the Maximum Transmission unit (MTU) – (IP/IP6 header size + TCP header
+size + ethernet header). For IPv4 its MTU – (20 bytes IP header + 20 bytes TCP
+header + 12 bytes ethernet header) and for IPv6 its MTU – (40 bytes IPv6 header
++ 20 bytes TCP header + 12 bytes ethernet header).
+
+If the config is done then it reduces 12-14 bytes for the ether header and
+uses it after synchronizing in TCP handshake.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|WORD> tcp-mss (1-65535)
+
+When tcp-mss is configured kernel reduces 12-14 bytes for ethernet header.
+E.g. if tcp-mss is configured as 150 the synced value will be 138.
+
+Note: configured and synced value is different since TCP module will reduce
+12 bytes for ethernet header.

+BMP
+***
+
+:abbr:`BMP` (BGP Monitoring Protocol, :rfc:`7854`) is used to send monitoring
+data from BGP routers to network management entities.
+
+Implementation characteristics
+==============================
+
+The `BMP` implementation in FRR has the following properties:
+
+- only the :rfc:`7854` features are currently implemented.  This means protocol
+  version 3 without any extensions.  It is not possible to use an older draft
+  protocol version of BMP.
+
+- the following statistics codes are implemented:
+
+  - 0: count of prefixes rejected
+  - 2: count of duplicate prefix withdrawals
+  - 3: count of **prefixes** with loop in cluster id
+  - 4: count of **prefixes** with loop in AS-path
+  - 5: count of **prefixes** with loop in originator
+  - 11: count of updates subjected to :rfc:`7607` "treat as withdrawal"
+    handling due to errors
+  - 65531: *experimental* count of prefixes rejected due to invalid next-hop
+
+  Note that stat items 3, 4 and 5 are specified to count updates, but FRR
+  implements them as prefix-based counters.
+
+- **route mirroring** is fully implemented, however BGP OPEN messages are not
+  currently included in route mirroring messages.  Their contents can be
+  extracted from the "peer up" notification for sessions that established
+  successfully.  OPEN messages for failed sessions cannot currently be
+  mirrored.
+
+- **route monitoring** is available for IPv4 and IPv6 AFIs, unicast and
+  multicast SAFIs.  Other SAFIs (VPN, Labeled-Unicast, Flowspec, etc.) are not
+  currently supported.
+
+- monitoring peers that have BGP **add-path** enabled on the session will
+  result in somewhat unpredictable behaviour.  Currently, the outcome is:
+
+  - route mirroring functions as intended, messages are copied verbatim
+  - the add-path ID is never included in route monitoring messages
+  - if multiple paths were received from a peer, an unpredictable path is
+    picked and sent on the BMP session.  The selection will differ for
+    pre-policy and post-policy monitoring sessions.
+  - as long as any path is present, something will be advertised on BMP
+    sessions.  Only after the last path is gone a withdrawal will be sent on
+    BMP sessions.
+  - updates to additional paths will trigger BMP route monitoring messages.
+    There is no guarantee on consistency regarding which path is sent in these
+    messages.
+
+- monitoring peers with :rfc:`5549` extended next-hops has not been tested.
+
+Starting BMP
+============
+
+BMP is implemented as a loadable module.  This means that to use BMP, ``bgpd``
+must be started with the ``-M bmp`` option.  It is not possible to enable BMP
+if ``bgpd`` was started without this option.
+
+Configuring BMP
+===============
+
+All of FRR's BMP configuration options are located inside the
+:clicmd:`router bgp ASN` block.  Configure BGP first before proceeding to BMP
+setup.
+
+There is one option that applies to the BGP instance as a whole:
+
+.. clicmd:: bmp mirror buffer-limit(0-4294967294)
+
+   This sets the maximum amount of memory used for buffering BGP messages
+   (updates, keepalives, ...) for sending in BMP Route Mirroring.
+
+   The buffer is for the entire BGP instance; if multiple BMP targets are
+   configured they reference the same buffer and do not consume additional
+   memory.  Queue overhead is included in accounting this memory, so the
+   actual space available for BGP messages is slightly less than the value
+   configured here.
+
+   If the buffer fills up, the oldest messages are removed from the buffer and
+   any BMP sessions where the now-removed messages were still pending have
+   their **entire** queue flushed and a "Mirroring Messages Lost" BMP message
+   is sent.
+
+   BMP Route Monitoring is not affected by this option.
+
+All other configuration is managed per targets:
+
+.. clicmd:: bmp targets NAME
+
+   Create/delete a targets group.  As implied by the plural name, targets may
+   cover multiple outbound active BMP sessions as well as inbound passive
+   listeners.
+
+   If BMP sessions have the same configuration, putting them in the same
+   ``bmp targets`` will reduce overhead.
+
+BMP session configuration
+-------------------------
+
+Inside a ``bmp targets`` block, the following commands control session
+establishment:
+
+
+.. clicmd:: bmp connect HOSTNAME port (1-65535) {min-retry MSEC|max-retry MSEC} [source-interface WORD]
+
+   Add/remove an active outbound BMP session.  HOSTNAME is resolved via DNS,
+   if multiple addresses are returned they are tried in nondeterministic
+   order.  Only one connection will be established even if multiple addresses
+   are returned.  ``min-retry`` and ``max-retry`` specify (in milliseconds)
+   bounds for exponential backoff. ``source-interface`` is the local interface on
+   which the connection has to bind.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   ``ip access-list`` and ``ipv6 access-list`` are checked for outbound
+   connections resulting from ``bmp connect`` statements.
+
+.. clicmd:: bmp listener <X:X::X:X|A.B.C.D> port (1-65535)
+
+   Accept incoming BMP sessions on the specified address and port.  You can
+   use ``0.0.0.0`` and ``::`` to listen on all IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip access-list NAME
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 access-list NAME
+
+   Restrict BMP sessions to the addresses allowed by the respective access
+   lists.  The access lists are checked for both passive and active BMP
+   sessions.  Changes do not affect currently established sessions.
+
+BMP data feed configuration
+---------------------------
+
+The following commands configure what BMP messages are sent on sessions
+associated with a particular ``bmp targets``:
+
+.. clicmd:: bmp stats [interval (100-86400000)]
+
+   Send BMP Statistics (counter) messages at the specified interval (in
+   milliseconds.)
+
+.. clicmd:: bmp monitor AFI SAFI <pre-policy|post-policy>
+
+   Perform Route Monitoring for the specified AFI and SAFI.  Only IPv4 and
+   IPv6 are currently valid for AFI. SAFI valid values are currently 
+   unicast, multicast, evpn and vpn.
+   Other AFI/SAFI combinations may be added in the future.
+
+   All BGP neighbors are included in Route Monitoring.  Options to select
+   a subset of BGP sessions may be added in the future.
+
+.. clicmd:: bmp mirror
+
+   Perform Route Mirroring for all BGP neighbors.  Since this provides a
+   direct feed of BGP messages, there are no AFI/SAFI options to be
+   configured.
+
+   All BGP neighbors are included in Route Mirroring.  Options to select
+   a subset of BGP sessions may be added in the future.

+Reporting Bugs
+**************
+
+This file describes the procedure for reporting FRRouting bugs.  You are asked
+to follow this format when submitting bug reports.
+
+Bugs submitted with woefully incomplete information will receive little
+attention and are likely to be closed. If you hit a suspected bug in an older
+version, you may be asked to test with a later version in your environment.
+
+Often you may be asked for additional information to help solve the bug. Bugs
+may be closed after 30 days of non-response to requests to reconfirm or supply
+additional information.
+
+Please report bugs on the project GitHub issue tracker at
+https://github.com/frrouting/frr/issues
+
+Report Format & Requested Information
+=====================================
+
+When reporting a bug, please provide the following information.
+
+#. Your FRR version if it is a release build, or the commit hash if you built
+   from source.
+
+#. If you compiled from source, please provide your ``./configure`` line,
+   including all option flags.
+
+#. A full list of the FRR daemons you run.
+
+#. Your platform name and version, e.g. ``Ubuntu 18.04``.
+
+#. Problem description.
+
+   - Provide as much information as possible.
+   - Copy and paste relevant commands and their output to describe your network
+     setup.
+   - Topology diagrams are helpful when reporting bugs involving more than one
+     box.
+   - Platform routing tables and interface configurations are useful if you are
+     reporting a routing issue.
+
+   *Please be sure to review the provided information and censor any sensitive
+   material.*
+
+#. All FRR configuration files you use. Again, please be sure to censor any
+   sensitive information. For sensitive v4 / v6 addresses, we ask that you
+   censor the inner octets; e.g., ``192.XXX.XXX.32/24``.
+
+#. If you are reporting a crash and have a core file, please supply a stack
+   trace using GDB:
+
+   ::
+
+      $ gdb exec_file core_file
+        (gdb) bt .
+
+#. Run all FRR daemons with full debugging on and send *only* the portion of
+   logs which are relevant to your problem.
+
+#. Patches, workarounds, and fixes are always welcome.
+
+.. seealso:: :ref:`basic-config-commands`

+   DUAL
+      The *Diffusing Update ALgorithm*, a :term:`Bellman-Ford` based routing
+      algorithm used by EIGRP.
+
+EIGRP -- Routing Information Protocol is widely deployed interior gateway
+routing protocol. EIGRP was developed in the 1990's. EIGRP is a
+:term:`distance-vector` protocol and is based on the :term:`DUAL` algorithms.
+As a distance-vector protocol, the EIGRP router send updates to its
+neighbors as networks change, thus allowing the convergence to a
+known topology.
+
+*eigrpd* supports EIGRP as described in RFC7868
+
+.. _starting-and-stopping-eigrpd:
+
+Starting and Stopping eigrpd
+============================
+
+The default configuration file name of *eigrpd*'s is :file:`eigrpd.conf`. When
+invocation *eigrpd* searches directory |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|. If
+:file:`eigrpd.conf` is not there next search current directory. If an
+integrated config is specified configuration is written into :file:`frr.conf`.
+
+The EIGRP protocol requires interface information maintained by *zebra* daemon.
+So running *zebra* is mandatory to run *eigrpd*. Thus minimum sequence for
+running EIGRP is:
+
+::
+
+  # zebra -d
+  # eigrpd -d
+
+
+Please note that *zebra* must be invoked before *eigrpd*.
+
+To stop *eigrpd*, please use ::
+   kill `cat /var/run/eigrpd.pid`
+
+Certain signals have special meanings to *eigrpd*.
+
++------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
+| Signal           | Meaning                                                   |
++==================+===========================================================+
+| SIGHUP & SIGUSR1 | Rotate the log file                                       |

+
+EIGRP Configuration
+===================
+
+.. clicmd:: router eigrp (1-65535) [vrf NAME]
+
+   The `router eigrp` command is necessary to enable EIGRP. To disable EIGRP,
+   use the `no router eigrp (1-65535)` command. EIGRP must be enabled before
+   carrying out any of the EIGRP commands.  Specify vrf NAME if you want
+   eigrp to work within the specified vrf.
+
+.. clicmd:: network NETWORK
+
+   Set the EIGRP enable interface by `network`. The interfaces which
+   have addresses matching with `network` are enabled.
+
+   This group of commands either enables or disables EIGRP interfaces between
+   certain numbers of a specified network address. For example, if the
+   network for 10.0.0.0/24 is EIGRP enabled, this would result in all the
+   addresses from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255 being enabled for EIGRP. The `no
+   network` command will disable EIGRP for the specified network.
+
+   Below is very simple EIGRP configuration. Interface `eth0` and
+   interface which address match to `10.0.0.0/8` are EIGRP enabled.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      !
+      router eigrp 1
+       network 10.0.0.0/8
+      !
+
+
+.. clicmd:: passive-interface (IFNAME|default)
+
+
+   This command sets the specified interface to passive mode. On passive mode
+   interface, all receiving packets are ignored and eigrpd does not send either
+   multicast or unicast EIGRP packets except to EIGRP neighbors specified with
+   `neighbor` command. The interface may be specified as `default` to make
+   eigrpd default to passive on all interfaces.
+
+   The default is to be passive on all interfaces.
+
+.. _how-to-announce-eigrp-route:
+
+How to Announce EIGRP route
+===========================
+
+Redistribute routes into EIGRP:
+
+.. clicmd:: redistribute <babel|bgp|connected|isis|kernel|openfabric|ospf|rip|sharp|static|table> [metric (1-4294967295) (0-4294967295) (0-255) (1-255) (1-65535)]
+
+   The ``redistribute`` family of commands imports routing information from
+   other sources into EIGRP's tables. Redistribution may be disabled with the
+   ``no`` form of the commands.
+
+   Note that connected routes on interfaces EIGRP is enabled on are announced
+   by default.
+
+   Optionally, various EIGRP metrics may be specified. These metrics will be
+   applied to the imported routes.
+
+
+.. _show-eigrp-information:
+
+Show EIGRP Information
+======================
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip eigrp [vrf NAME] topology
+
+   Display current EIGRP status.
+
+   ::

+.. _ext-log-target:
+
+***********************
+Extended Logging Target
+***********************
+
+After creating one or more extended logging targets with the
+:clicmd:`log extended EXTLOGNAME` command, the target(s) must be configured
+for the desired logging output.
+
+Each extended log target supports emitting log messages in one of the following
+formats:
+
+- ``rfc5424`` - :rfc:`5424` - modern syslog with ISO 8601 timestamps, time zone and
+  structured data (key/value pairs) support
+- ``rfc3164`` - :rfc:`3164` - legacy BSD syslog, timestamps with 1 second granularity
+- ``local-syslog`` - same as :rfc:`3164`, but without the hostname field
+- ``journald`` - systemd's `native journald protocol <https://systemd.io/JOURNAL_NATIVE_PROTOCOL/>`_.
+  This protocol also supports structured data (key/value pairs).
+
+Destinations
+------------
+
+The output location is configured with the following subcommands:
+
+.. clicmd:: destination none
+
+   Disable the target while retaining its remaining configuration.
+
+.. clicmd:: destination syslog [supports-rfc5424]
+
+   Send log messages to the system's standard log destination
+   (``/dev/log``).  This does not use the C library's ``syslog()`` function,
+   instead writing directly to ``/dev/log``.
+
+   On NetBSD and FreeBSD, the RFC5424 format is automatically used when
+   the OS version is recent enough (5.0 for NetBSD, 12.0 for FreeBSD).
+   Unfortunately, support for this format cannot be autodetected otherwise,
+   and particularly on Linux systems must be enabled manually.
+
+.. clicmd:: destination journald
+
+   Send log messages to systemd's journald.
+
+.. clicmd:: destination <stdout|stderr|fd <(0-63)|envvar WORD>> \
+                [format FORMAT]
+
+   Send log messages to one of the daemon's file descriptors.  The
+   ``fd (0-63)`` and ``fd envvar WORD`` variants are intended to work with
+   the shell's ``command 3>something`` and bash's
+   ``command {ENVVAR}>something`` I/O redirection specifiers.
+
+   Only file descriptors open at a daemon's startup time can be used for
+   this;  accidental misuse of a file descriptor that has been opened by
+   FRR itself is prevented.
+
+   Using FIFOs with this option will work but is unsupported and can cause
+   daemons to hang or crash depending on reader behavior.
+
+   Format defaults to RFC5424 if none is specified.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      When starting FRR daemons from custom shell scripts, make sure not
+      to leak / leave extraneous file descriptors open.  FRR daemons do not
+      close these.
+
+.. clicmd:: destination file PATH \
+                [create [{user WORD|group WORD|mode PERMS}]|no-create] \
+                [format FORMAT]
+
+   Log to a regular file.  File permissions can be specified when FRR creates
+   the file itself.
+
+   Format defaults to RFC5424 if none is specified.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      FRR will never change permissions or ownership on an existing log file.
+      In many cases, FRR will also not have permissions to set user and group
+      arbitrarily.
+
+.. clicmd:: destination unix PATH [format FORMAT]
+
+   Connect to a UNIX domain socket and send log messages there.  This will
+   autodetect ``SOCK_STREAM``, ``SOCK_SEQPACKET`` and ``SOCK_DGRAM`` and
+   adjust behavior appropriately.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+.. clicmd:: priority PRIORITY
+
+   Select minimum priority of messages to send to this target.  Defaults to
+   `debugging`.
+
+.. clicmd:: facility FACILITY
+
+   Select syslog facility for messages on this target.  Defaults to `daemon`.
+   The :clicmd:`log facility [FACILITY]` command does not affect extended
+   targets.
+
+.. clicmd:: timestamp precision (0-9)
+
+   Set desired number of sub-second timestamp digits.  This only has an effect
+   for RFC5424 and journald format targets;  the RFC3164 and local-syslogd
+   formats do not support any sub-second digits.
+
+.. clicmd:: timestamp local-time
+
+   Use the local system timezone for timestamps rather than UTC (the default.)
+
+   RFC5424 and journald formats include zone information (``Z`` or ``+-NN:NN``
+   suffix in ISO8601).  RFC3164 and local-syslogd offer no way of identifying
+   the time zone used, care must be taken that this option and the receiver
+   are configured identically, or the timestamp is replaced at the receiver.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      FRR includes a timestamp in journald messages, but journald always
+      provides its own timestamp.
+
+.. clicmd:: structured-data <code-location|version|unique-id|error-category|format-args>
+
+   Select additional key/value data to be included for the RFC5424 and journald
+   formats.  Refer to the next section for details.
+
+   ``unique-id`` and ``error-category`` are enabled by default.
+
+   .. warning::
+
+      Log messages can grow in size significantly when enabling additional
+      data.
+
+
+Structured data
+---------------
+
+When using the RFC5424 or journald formats, FRR can provide additional metadata
+for log messages as key/value pairs.  The following information can be added
+in this way:
+
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| Switch             | 5424 group         | 5424 item(s) | journald field   | Contents                                    |
++====================+====================+==============+==================+=============================================+
+| always active      | ``location@50145`` | ``tid``      | ``TID``          | Thread ID                                   |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| always active      | ``location@50145`` | ``instance`` | ``FRR_INSTANCE`` | Multi-instance number                       |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| ``unique-id``      | ``location@50145`` | ``id``       | ``FRR_ID``       | ``XXXXX-XXXXX`` unique message identifier   |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| ``error-category`` | ``location@50145`` | ``ec``       | ``FRR_EC``       | Integer error category number               |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| ``code-location``  | ``location@50145`` | ``file``     | ``CODE_FILE``    | Source code file name                       |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| ``code-location``  | ``location@50145`` | ``line``     | ``CODE_LINE``    | Source code line number                     |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| ``code-location``  | ``location@50145`` | ``func``     | ``CODE_FUNC``    | Source code function name                   |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| ``format-args``    | ``args@50145``     | ``argN``     | ``FRR_ARGn``     | Message printf format arguments (n = 1..16) |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+| ``version``        | ``origin``         | multiple     | n/a              | FRR version information (IETF format)       |
++--------------------+--------------------+--------------+------------------+---------------------------------------------+
+
+The information added by ``version`` is
+``[origin enterpriseId="50145" software="FRRouting" swVersion="..."]``
+and is the same for all log messages.  (Hence makes little sense to include in
+most scenarios.)  50145 is the FRRouting IANA Enterprise Number.
+
+Crashlogs / backtraces do not include any additional information since it
+cannot safely be retrieved from a crash handler.  However, all of the above
+destinations will deliver crashlogs.
+
+
+Restart and Reconfiguration caveats
+-----------------------------------
+
+FRR uses "add-delete" semantics when reconfiguring log targets of any type
+(including both extended targets mentioned here as well as the global
+:clicmd:`log stdout LEVEL` and :clicmd:`log syslog [LEVEL]` variants.)  This
+means that when changing logging configuration, log messages from threads
+executing in parallel may be duplicated for a brief window of time.
+
+For the ``unix``, ``syslog`` and ``journald`` extended destinations, messages
+can be lost when the receiver is restarted without the use of socket
+activation (i.e. keeping the receiver socket open.)  FRR does not buffer
+log messages for later delivery, meaning anything logged while the receiver
+is unavailable is lost.  Since systemd provides socket activation for
+journald, no messages will be lost on the ``journald`` target.

+*********
+Filtering
+*********
+
+FRR provides many very flexible filtering features. Filtering is used
+for both input and output of the routing information. Once filtering is
+defined, it can be applied in any direction.
+
+IP Access List
+==============
+
+.. clicmd:: access-list NAME [seq (1-4294967295)] permit IPV4-NETWORK
+
+.. clicmd:: access-list NAME [seq (1-4294967295)] deny IPV4-NETWORK
+
+   seq
+      seq `number` can be set either automatically or manually. In the
+      case that sequential numbers are set manually, the user may pick any
+      number less than 4294967295. In the case that sequential number are set
+      automatically, the sequential number will increase by a unit of five (5)
+      per list. If a list with no specified sequential number is created
+      after a list with a specified sequential number, the list will
+      automatically pick the next multiple of five (5) as the list number.
+      For example, if a list with number 2 already exists and a new list with
+      no specified number is created, the next list will be numbered 5. If
+      lists 2 and 7 already exist and a new list with no specified number is
+      created, the new list will be numbered 10.
+
+   Basic filtering is done by `access-list` as shown in the
+   following example.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      access-list filter deny 10.0.0.0/9
+      access-list filter permit 10.0.0.0/8
+      access-list filter seq 13 permit 10.0.0.0/7
+
+.. clicmd:: show <ip|ipv6> access-list [json]
+
+   Display all IPv4 or IPv6 access lists.
+
+   If the ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.
+
+.. clicmd:: show <ip|ipv6> access-list WORD [json]
+
+   Display the specified IPv4 or IPv6 access list.
+
+   If the ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.
+
+
+IP Prefix List
+==============
+
+*ip prefix-list* provides the most powerful prefix based
+filtering mechanism. In addition to *access-list* functionality,
+*ip prefix-list* has prefix length range specification and
+sequential number specification. You can add or delete prefix based
+filters to arbitrary points of prefix-list using sequential number specification.
+
+If no ip prefix-list is specified, it acts as permit. If *ip prefix-list*
+is defined, and no match is found, default deny is applied.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip prefix-list NAME (permit|deny) PREFIX [le LEN] [ge LEN]
+
+.. clicmd:: ip prefix-list NAME seq NUMBER (permit|deny) PREFIX [le LEN] [ge LEN]
+
+   You can create *ip prefix-list* using above commands.
+
+   seq
+      seq `number` can be set either automatically or manually. In the
+      case that sequential numbers are set manually, the user may pick any
+      number less than 4294967295. In the case that sequential number are set
+      automatically, the sequential number will increase by a unit of five (5)
+      per list. If a list with no specified sequential number is created
+      after a list with a specified sequential number, the list will
+      automatically pick the next multiple of five (5) as the list number.
+      For example, if a list with number 2 already exists and a new list with
+      no specified number is created, the next list will be numbered 5. If
+      lists 2 and 7 already exist and a new list with no specified number is
+      created, the new list will be numbered 10.
+
+   le
+      Specifies prefix length. The prefix list will be applied if the prefix
+      length is less than or equal to the le prefix length.
+
+   ge
+      Specifies prefix length. The prefix list will be applied if the prefix
+      length is greater than or equal to the ge prefix length.
+
+
+   Less than or equal to prefix numbers and greater than or equal to
+   prefix numbers can be used together. The order of the le and ge
+   commands does not matter.
+
+   If a prefix list with a different sequential number but with the exact
+   same rules as a previous list is created, an error will result.
+   However, in the case that the sequential number and the rules are
+   exactly similar, no error will result.
+
+   If a list with the same sequential number as a previous list is created,
+   the new list will overwrite the old list.
+
+   Matching of IP Prefix is performed from the smaller sequential number to the
+   larger. The matching will stop once any rule has been applied.
+
+   In the case of no le or ge command, the prefix length must match exactly the
+   length specified in the prefix list.
+
+
+.. _ip-prefix-list-description:
+
+ip prefix-list description
+--------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: ip prefix-list NAME description DESC
+
+   Descriptions may be added to prefix lists. This command adds a
+   description to the prefix list.
+
+
+.. _showing-ip-prefix-list:
+
+Showing ip prefix-list
+----------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list [json]
+
+   Display all IP prefix lists.
+
+   If the ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list NAME [json]
+
+   Show IP prefix list can be used with a prefix list name.
+
+   If the ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list NAME seq NUM [json]
+
+   Show IP prefix list can be used with a prefix list name and sequential
+   number.
+
+   If the ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list NAME A.B.C.D/M
+
+   If the command longer is used, all prefix lists with prefix lengths equal to
+   or longer than the specified length will be displayed. If the command first
+   match is used, the first prefix length match will be displayed.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list NAME A.B.C.D/M longer
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list NAME A.B.C.D/M first-match
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list summary [json]
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list summary NAME [json]
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list detail [json]
+.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list detail NAME [json]
+
+.. clicmd:: debug prefix-list NAME match <A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M> [address-mode]
+
+   Execute the prefix list matching code for the specified list and prefix.
+   Shows which entry matched, if any.  (``address-mode`` is used for
+   PIM RP lookups and skips prefix length checks.)
+
+   The return value from this command is success only if the prefix-list
+   result is to permit the prefix, so the command can be used in scripting.
+
+Clear counter of ip prefix-list
+-------------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: clear ip prefix-list [NAME [A.B.C.D/M]]
+
+   Clears the counters of all IP prefix lists. Clear IP Prefix List can be used
+   with a specified NAME or NAME and prefix.

+Flowspec
+========
+
+.. _features-of-the-current-implementation-flowspec:
+
+Overview
+---------
+
+Flowspec introduces a new :abbr:`NLRI (Network Layer Reachability Information)`
+encoding format that is used to distribute traffic rule flow specifications.
+Basically, instead of simply relying on destination IP address for IP prefixes,
+the IP prefix is replaced by a n-tuple consisting of a rule. That rule can be a
+more or less complex combination of the following:
+
+
+- Network source/destination (can be one or the other, or both).
+- Layer 4 information for UDP/TCP: source port, destination port, or any port.
+- Layer 4 information for ICMP type and ICMP code.
+- Layer 4 information for TCP Flags.
+- Layer 3 information: DSCP value, Protocol type, packet length, fragmentation.
+- Misc layer 4 TCP flags.
+
+Note that if originally Flowspec defined IPv4 rules, this is also possible to use
+IPv6 address-family. The same set of combinations as defined for IPv4 can be used.
+
+A combination of the above rules is applied for traffic filtering. This is
+encoded as part of specific BGP extended communities and the action can range
+from the obvious rerouting (to nexthop or to separate VRF) to shaping, or
+discard.
+
+The following IETF drafts and RFCs have been used to implement FRR Flowspec:
+
+- :rfc:`5575`
+- [Draft-IETF-IDR-Flowspec-redirect-IP]_
+- [Draft-IETF-IDR-Flow-Spec-V6]_
+
+.. _design-principles-flowspec:
+
+Design Principles
+-----------------
+
+FRR implements the Flowspec client side, that is to say that BGP is able to
+receive Flowspec entries, but is not able to act as manager and send Flowspec
+entries.
+
+Linux provides the following mechanisms to implement policy based routing:
+
+- Filtering the traffic with ``Netfilter``.
+  ``Netfilter`` provides a set of tools like ``ipset`` and ``iptables`` that are
+  powerful enough to be able to filter such Flowspec filter rule.
+
+- using non standard routing tables via ``iproute2`` (via the ``ip rule``
+  command provided by ``iproute2``).
+  ``iproute2`` is already used by FRR's :ref:`pbr` daemon which provides basic
+  policy based routing based on IP source and destination criterion.
+
+Below example is an illustration of what Flowspec will inject in the underlying
+system:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # linux shell
+   ipset create match0x102 hash:net,net counters
+   ipset add match0x102 32.0.0.0/16,40.0.0.0/16
+   iptables -N match0x102 -t mangle
+   iptables -A match0x102 -t mangle -j MARK --set-mark 102
+   iptables -A match0x102 -t mangle -j ACCEPT
+   iptables -i ntfp3 -t mangle -I PREROUTING -m set --match-set match0x102
+                src,dst -g match0x102
+   ip rule add fwmark 102 lookup 102
+   ip route add 40.0.0.0/16 via 44.0.0.2 table 102
+
+For handling an incoming Flowspec entry, the following workflow is applied:
+
+- Incoming Flowspec entries are handled by *bgpd*, stored in the BGP RIB.
+- Flowspec entry is installed according to its complexity.
+
+It will be installed if one of the following filtering action is seen on the
+BGP extended community: either redirect IP, or redirect VRF, in conjunction
+with rate option, for redirecting traffic. Or rate option set to 0, for
+discarding traffic.
+
+According to the degree of complexity of the Flowspec entry, it will be
+installed in *zebra* RIB. For more information about what is supported in the
+FRR implementation as rule, see :ref:`flowspec-known-issues` chapter. Flowspec
+entry is split in several parts before being sent to *zebra*.
+
+- *zebra* daemon receives the policy routing configuration
+
+Policy Based Routing entities necessary to policy route the traffic in the
+underlying system, are received by *zebra*. Two filtering contexts will be
+created or appended in ``Netfilter``: ``ipset`` and ``iptable`` context. The
+former is used to define an IP filter based on multiple criterium. For
+instance, an ipset ``net:net`` is based on two ip addresses, while
+``net,port,net`` is based on two ip addresses and one port (for ICMP, UDP, or
+TCP). The way the filtering is used (for example, is src port or dst port
+used?) is defined by the latter filtering context. ``iptable`` command will
+reference the ``ipset`` context and will tell how to filter and what to do. In
+our case, a marker will be set to indicate ``iproute2`` where to forward the
+traffic to. Sometimes, for dropping action, there is no need to add a marker;
+the ``iptable`` will tell to drop all packets matching the ``ipset`` entry.
+
+Configuration Guide
+-------------------
+
+In order to configure an IPv4 Flowspec engine, use the following configuration.
+As of today, it is only possible to configure Flowspec on the default VRF.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp <AS>
+     neighbor <A.B.C.D> remote-as <remoteAS>
+     neighbor <A:B::C:D> remote-as <remoteAS2>
+     address-family ipv4 flowspec
+      neighbor <A.B.C.D> activate
+     exit
+     address-family ipv6 flowspec
+      neighbor <A:B::C:D> activate
+     exit
+   exit
+
+You can see Flowspec entries, by using one of the following show commands:
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv4 flowspec [detail | A.B.C.D]
+
+.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv6 flowspec [detail | A:B::C:D]
+
+Per-interface configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+One nice feature to use is the ability to apply Flowspec to a specific
+interface, instead of applying it to the whole machine. Despite the following
+IETF draft [Draft-IETF-IDR-Flowspec-Interface-Set]_ is not implemented, it is
+possible to manually limit Flowspec application to some incoming interfaces.
+Actually, not using it can result to some unexpected behaviour like accounting
+twice the traffic, or slow down the traffic (filtering costs). To limit
+Flowspec to one specific interface, use the following command, under
+`flowspec address-family` node.
+
+.. clicmd:: local-install <IFNAME | any>
+
+By default, Flowspec is activated on all interfaces. Installing it to a named
+interface will result in allowing only this interface. Conversely, enabling any
+interface will flush all previously configured interfaces.
+
+VRF redirection
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Another nice feature to configure is the ability to redirect traffic to a
+separate VRF. This feature does not go against the ability to configure
+Flowspec only on default VRF. Actually, when you receive incoming BGP flowspec
+entries on that default VRF, you can redirect traffic to an other VRF.
+
+As a reminder, BGP flowspec entries have a BGP extended community that contains
+a Route Target. Finding out a local VRF based on Route Target consists in the
+following:
+
+- A configuration of each VRF must be done, with its Route Target set
+  Each VRF is being configured within a BGP VRF instance with its own Route
+  Target list. Route Target accepted format matches the following:
+  ``A.B.C.D:U16``, or ``U16:U32``, ``U32:U16``.
+
+- The first VRF with the matching Route Target will be selected to route traffic
+  to. Use the following command under ipv4 unicast address-family node
+
+.. clicmd:: rt redirect import RTLIST...
+
+In order to illustrate, if the Route Target configured in the Flowspec entry is
+``E.F.G.H:II``, then a BGP VRF instance with the same Route Target will be set
+set.  That VRF will then be selected. The below full configuration example
+depicts how Route Targets are configured and how VRFs and cross VRF
+configuration is done.  Note that the VRF are mapped on Linux Network
+Namespaces. For data traffic to cross VRF boundaries, virtual ethernet
+interfaces are created with private IP addressing scheme.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp <ASx>
+    neighbor <A.B.C.D> remote-as <ASz>
+    address-family ipv4 flowspec
+     neighbor A.B.C.D activate
+    exit
+   exit
+   router bgp <ASy> vrf vrf2
+    address-family ipv4 unicast
+     rt redirect import <E.F.G.H:II>
+    exit
+   exit
+
+Similarly, it is possible to do the same for IPv6 flowspec rules, by using
+an IPv6 extended community. The format is defined on :rfc:`5701`, and that
+community contains an IPv6 address encoded in the attribute, and matches the
+locally configured imported route target IPv6 defined under the appropriate
+BGP VRF instance. Below example defines an IPv6 extended community containing
+`E:F::G:H` address followed by 2 bytes chosen by admin ( here `JJ`).
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp <ASx>
+    neighbor <A:B::C:D> remote-as <ASz>
+    address-family ipv6 flowspec
+     neighbor A:B::C:D activate
+    exit
+   exit
+   router bgp <ASy> vrf vrf2
+    address-family ipv6 unicast
+     rt6 redirect import <E:F::G:H:JJ>
+    exit
+   exit
+
+
+Flowspec monitoring & troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can monitor policy-routing objects by using one of the following commands.
+Those command rely on the filtering contexts configured from BGP, and get the
+statistics information retrieved from the underlying system. In other words,
+those statistics are retrieved from ``Netfilter``.
+
+.. clicmd:: show pbr ipset IPSETNAME | iptable
+
+``IPSETNAME`` is the policy routing object name created by ``ipset``.  About
+rule contexts, it is possible to know which rule has been configured to
+policy-route some specific traffic. The :clicmd:`show pbr iptable` command
+displays for forwarded traffic, which table is used. Then it is easy to use
+that table identifier to dump the routing table that the forwarded traffic will
+match.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip route table TABLEID
+
+   ``TABLEID`` is the table number identifier referencing the non standard
+   routing table used in this example.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug bgp flowspec
+
+   You can troubleshoot Flowspec, or BGP policy based routing. For instance, if
+   you encounter some issues when decoding a Flowspec entry, you should enable
+   :clicmd:`debug bgp flowspec`.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug bgp pbr [error]
+
+   If you fail to apply the flowspec entry into *zebra*, there should be some
+   relationship with policy routing mechanism. Here,
+   :clicmd:`debug bgp pbr error` could help.
+
+   To get information about policy routing contexts created/removed, only use
+   :clicmd:`debug bgp pbr` command.
+
+Ensuring that a Flowspec entry has been correctly installed and that incoming
+traffic is policy-routed correctly can be checked as demonstrated below. First
+of all, you must check whether the Flowspec entry has been installed or not.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   CLI# show bgp ipv4 flowspec 5.5.5.2/32
+    BGP flowspec entry: (flags 0x418)
+      Destination Address 5.5.5.2/32
+      IP Protocol = 17
+      Destination Port >= 50 , <= 90
+      FS:redirect VRF RT:255.255.255.255:255
+      received for 18:41:37
+      installed in PBR (match0x271ce00)
+
+This means that the Flowspec entry has been installed in an ``iptable`` named
+``match0x271ce00``. Once you have confirmation it is installed, you can check
+whether you find the associate entry by executing following command. You can
+also check whether incoming traffic has been matched by looking at counter
+line.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   CLI# show pbr ipset match0x271ce00
+   IPset match0x271ce00 type net,port
+        to 5.5.5.0/24:proto 6:80-120 (8)
+           pkts 1000, bytes 1000000
+        to 5.5.5.2:proto 17:50-90 (5)
+           pkts 1692918, bytes 157441374
+
+As you can see, the entry is present. note that an ``iptable`` entry can be
+used to host several Flowspec entries. In order to know where the matching
+traffic is redirected to, you have to look at the policy routing rules. The
+policy-routing is done by forwarding traffic to a routing table number. That
+routing table number is reached by using a ``iptable``. The relationship
+between the routing table number and the incoming traffic is a ``MARKER`` that
+is set by the IPtable referencing the IPSet. In Flowspec case, ``iptable``
+referencing the ``ipset`` context have the same name. So it is easy to know
+which routing table is used by issuing following command:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   CLI# show pbr iptable
+      IPtable match0x271ce00 action redirect (5)
+        pkts 1700000, bytes 158000000
+        table 257, fwmark 257
+   ...
+
+As you can see, by using following Linux commands, the MARKER ``0x101`` is
+present in both ``iptable`` and ``ip rule`` contexts.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # iptables -t mangle --list match0x271ce00 -v
+   Chain match0x271ce00 (1 references)
+   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out     source              destination
+   1700K  158M MARK       all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere
+        MARK set 0x101
+   1700K  158M ACCEPT     all  --  any    any     anywhere             anywhere
+
+   # ip rule list
+   0:from all lookup local
+   0:from all fwmark 0x101 lookup 257
+   32766:from all lookup main
+   32767:from all lookup default
+
+This allows us to see where the traffic is forwarded to.
+
+.. _flowspec-known-issues:
+
+Limitations / Known Issues
+--------------------------
+
+As you can see, Flowspec is rich and can be very complex. As of today, not all
+Flowspec rules will be able to be converted into Policy Based Routing actions.
+
+- The ``Netfilter`` driver is not integrated into FRR yet. Not having this
+  piece of code prevents from injecting flowspec entries into the underlying
+  system.
+
+- There are some limitations around filtering contexts
+
+  If I take example of UDP ports, or TCP ports in Flowspec, the information
+  can be a range of ports, or a unique value. This case is handled.
+  However, complexity can be increased, if the flow is a combination of a list
+  of range of ports and an enumerate of unique values. Here this case is not
+  handled. Similarly, it is not possible to create a filter for both src port
+  and dst port. For instance, filter on src port from [1-1000] and dst port =
+  80. The same kind of complexity is not possible for packet length, ICMP type,
+  ICMP code.
+
+There are some other known issues:
+
+- The validation procedure depicted in :rfc:`5575` is not available.
+
+  This validation procedure has not been implemented, as this feature was not
+  used in the existing setups you shared with us.
+
+- The filtering action shaper value, if positive, is not used to apply shaping.
+
+  If value is positive, the traffic is redirected to the wished destination,
+  without any other action configured by Flowspec.
+  It is recommended to configure Quality of Service if needed, more globally on
+  a per interface basis.
+
+- Upon an unexpected crash or other event, *zebra* may not have time to flush
+  PBR contexts.
+
+  That is to say ``ipset``, ``iptable`` and ``ip rule`` contexts. This is also a
+  consequence due to the fact that ip rule / ipset / iptables are not discovered
+  at startup (not able to read appropriate contexts coming from Flowspec).

+* ``--input INPUT``: uses the specified input file as the running configuration
+  instead of retrieving it from a ``show running-config`` in vtysh
+* ``--reload``: applies the configuration delta to the daemons. Either this or
+  ``--test`` MUST be specified.
+* ``--test``: only outputs the configuration delta, without enforcing it.
+  Either this or ``--reload`` MUST be specified.
+* ``--debug``: enable debug messages
+* ``--stdout``: print output to stdout
+* ``--bindir BINDIR``: path to the vtysh executable
+* ``--confdir CONFDIR``: path to the existing daemon config files
+* ``--rundir RUNDIR``: path to a folder to be used to write the temporary files
+  needed by the script to do its job. The script should have write access to it
+* ``--daemon DAEMON``: by default ``frr-reload.py`` assumes that we are using
+  integrated config and attempting to update the configuration for all daemons.
+  If this is not the case, e.g. each daemon has its individual config file,
+  then the delta can only be computed on a per-daemon basis. This option allows
+  the user to specify the daemon for which the config is intended. DAEMON
+  should be one of the keywords allowed in vtysh as an option for ``show
+  running-config``.
+* ``--vty_socket VTY_SOCKET``: the socket to be used by vtysh to connect to the
+  running daemons.
+* ``--overwrite``: overwrite the existing daemon config file with the new
+  config after the delta has been applied. The file name will be ``frr.conf``
+  for integrate config, or ``DAEMON.conf`` when using per-daemon config files.

+
+   distance-vector
+      A distance-vector routing protocol in data networks determines the best
+      route for data packets based on distance. Distance-vector routing
+      protocols measure the distance by the number of routers a packet has to
+      pass. Some distance-vector protocols also take into account network
+      latency and other factors that influence traffic on a given route. To
+      determine the best route across a network, routers on which a
+      distance-vector protocol is implemented exchange information with one
+      another, usually routing tables plus hop counts for destination networks
+      and possibly other traffic information. Distance-vector routing protocols
+      also require that a router informs its neighbours of network topology
+      changes periodically. [distance-vector-rp]_
+
+   link-state
+      Link-state algorithms (also known as shortest path first algorithms)
+      flood routing information to all nodes in the internetwork. Each router,
+      however, sends only the portion of the routing table that describes the
+      state of its own links. In link-state algorithms, each router builds a
+      picture of the entire network in its routing tables. Distance vector
+      algorithms (also known as Bellman-Ford algorithms) call for each router
+      to send all or some portion of its routing table, but only to its
+      neighbors. In essence, link-state algorithms send small updates
+      everywhere, while distance vector algorithms send larger updates only to
+      neighboring routers. Distance vector algorithms know only about their
+      neighbors. [link-state-rp]_
+
+   Bellman-Ford
+      The Bellman–Ford algorithm is an algorithm that computes shortest paths
+      from a single source vertex to all of the other vertices in a weighted
+      digraph. [bellman-ford]_

+.. program:: configure
+
+*gRPC* provides a combined front end to all FRR daemons using the YANG
+northbound. It is currently disabled by default due its experimental
+stage, but it can be enabled with :option:`--enable-grpc` option in the
+configure script.

+========================
+

+* Execute YANG RPC calls.
+* Lock/unlock configuration.
+* Create/edit/load/update/commit candidate configuration.
+* List/get transactions.
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   There is currently no support for YANG notifications.
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   You can find more information on how to code programs to interact
+   with FRR by reading the gRPC Programming Language Bindings section
+   in the `developer's documentation
+   <http://docs.frrouting.org/projects/dev-guide/en/latest/grpc.html>`_.
+

+
+Daemon gRPC Configuration
+=========================
+
+The *gRPC* module accepts the following run time option:
+
+- ``port``: the port to listen to (defaults to ``50051``).
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   At the moment only localhost connections with no SSL/TLS are
+   supported.
+
+
+To configure FRR daemons to listen to gRPC you need to append the
+following parameter to the daemon's command line: ``-M grpc``
+(optionally ``-M grpc:PORT`` to specify listening port).
+
+To do that in production you need to edit the ``/etc/frr/daemons`` file
+so the daemons get started with the command line argument. Example:
+
+::
+
+   # other daemons...
+   bfdd_options="  --daemon -A 127.0.0.1 -M grpc"

+
+.. _installation:
+
+Installation
+============
+
+This section covers the basics of building, installing and setting up FRR.
+
+
+From Packages
+-------------
+
+The project publishes packages for Red Hat, Centos, Debian and Ubuntu on the
+`GitHub releases <https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/releases>`_. page. External
+contributors offer packages for many other platforms including \*BSD, Alpine,
+Gentoo, Docker, and others. There is currently no documentation on how to use
+those but we hope to add it soon.
+
+From Snapcraft
+--------------
+
+In addition to traditional packages the project also builds and publishes
+universal Snap images, available at https://snapcraft.io/frr.
+
+From Source
+-----------
+
+Building FRR from source is the best way to ensure you have the latest features
+and bug fixes. Details for each supported platform, including dependency
+package listings, permissions, and other gotchas, are in the `developer's
+documentation
+<http://docs.frrouting.org/projects/dev-guide/en/latest/building.html>`_. This
+section provides a brief overview on the process.
+
+
+Getting the Source
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRR's source is available on the project
+`GitHub page <https://github.com/FRRouting/frr>`_.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   git clone https://github.com/FRRouting/frr.git
+
+When building from Git there are several branches to choose from. The
+``master`` branch is the primary development branch. It should be considered
+unstable. Each release has its own branch named ``stable/X.X``, where ``X.X``
+is the release version.
+
+In addition, release tarballs are published on the GitHub releases page
+`here <https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/releases>`_.

+
+Build Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRR has an excellent configure script which automatically detects most host
+configurations. There are several additional configure options to customize the
+build to include or exclude specific features and dependencies.
+
+First, update the build system. Change into your FRR source directory and issue:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   ./bootstrap.sh
+
+This will install any missing build scripts and update the Autotools
+configuration. Once this is done you can move on to choosing your configuration
+options from the list below.
+
+.. _frr-configuration:
+
+.. program:: configure
+
+.. option:: --enable-tcmalloc
+
+   Enable the alternate malloc library.  In some cases this is faster and more efficient,
+   in some cases it is not.
+
+.. option:: --disable-doc
+
+   Do not build any documentation, including this one.
+
+.. option:: --enable-doc-html
+
+   From the documentation build html docs as well in addition to the normal output.
+
+.. option:: --disable-zebra
+
+   Do not build zebra daemon.  This generally only be useful in a scenario where
+   you are building bgp as a standalone server.
+
+.. option:: --disable-ripd
+
+   Do not build ripd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-ripngd
+
+   Do not build ripngd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-ospfd
+
+   Do not build ospfd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-ospf6d
+
+   Do not build ospf6d.
+
+.. option:: --disable-bgpd
+
+   Do not build bgpd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-ldpd
+
+   Do not build ldpd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-nhrpd
+
+   Do not build nhrpd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-eigrpd
+
+   Do not build eigrpd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-babeld
+
+   Do not build babeld.
+
+.. option:: --disable-watchfrr
+
+   Do not build watchfrr.  Watchfrr is used to integrate daemons into startup/shutdown
+   software available on your machine.  This is needed for systemd integration, if you
+   disable watchfrr you cannot have any systemd integration.
+
+.. option:: --enable-werror
+
+   Build with all warnings converted to errors as a compile option.  This
+   is recommended for developers only.
+
+.. option:: --disable-pimd
+
+   Turn off building of pimd.  On some BSD platforms pimd will not build properly due
+   to lack of kernel support.
+
+.. option:: --disable-vrrpd
+
+   Turn off building of vrrpd. Linux is required for vrrpd support;
+   other platforms are not supported.
+
+.. option:: --disable-pbrd
+
+   Turn off building of pbrd.  This daemon currently requires linux in order to function
+   properly.
+
+.. option:: --enable-sharpd
+
+   Turn on building of sharpd.  This daemon facilitates testing of FRR and can also
+   be used as a quick and easy route generator.
+
+.. option:: --disable-staticd
+
+   Do not build staticd.  This daemon is necessary if you want static routes.
+
+.. option:: --disable-bfdd
+
+   Do not build bfdd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-bgp-announce
+
+   Make *bgpd* which does not make bgp announcements at all.  This
+   feature is good for using *bgpd* as a BGP announcement listener.
+
+.. option:: --disable-bgp-vnc
+
+   Turn off bgpd's ability to use VNC.
+
+.. option:: --disable-bgp-bmp
+
+   Turn off BGP BMP support
+
+.. option:: --enable-datacenter
+
+   This option is deprecated as it is superseded by the `-F` (profile) command
+   line option which allows adjusting the setting at startup rather than
+   compile time.
+
+   Enable system defaults to work as if in a Data Center. See defaults.h
+   for what is changed by this configure option.
+
+.. option:: --enable-snmp
+
+   Enable SNMP support.  By default, SNMP support is disabled.
+
+.. option:: --disable-ospfapi
+
+   Disable support for OSPF-API, an API to interface directly with ospfd.
+   OSPF-API is enabled if --enable-opaque-lsa is set.
+
+.. option:: --disable-ospfclient
+
+   Disable installation of the python ospfclient and building of the example
+   OSPF-API client.
+
+.. option:: --disable-isisd
+
+   Do not build isisd.
+
+.. option:: --disable-fabricd
+
+   Do not build fabricd.
+
+.. option:: --enable-isis-topology
+
+   Enable IS-IS topology generator.
+
+.. option:: --enable-realms
+
+   Enable the support of Linux Realms. Convert tag values from 1-255 into a
+   realm value when inserting into the Linux kernel. Then routing policy can be
+   assigned to the realm. See the tc man page.  This option is currently not
+   compatible with the usage of nexthop groups in the linux kernel itself.
+
+.. option:: --disable-irdp
+
+   Disable IRDP server support.  This is enabled by default if we have
+   both `struct in_pktinfo` and `struct icmphdr` available to us.
+
+.. option:: --disable-rtadv
+
+   Disable support IPV6 router advertisement in zebra.
+
+.. option:: --enable-gcc-rdynamic
+
+   Pass the ``-rdynamic`` option to the linker driver.  This is in most cases
+   necessary for getting usable backtraces.  This option defaults to on if the
+   compiler is detected as gcc, but giving an explicit enable/disable is
+   suggested.
+
+.. option:: --disable-backtrace
+
+   Controls backtrace support for the crash handlers. This is autodetected by
+   default. Using the switch will enforce the requested behaviour, failing with
+   an error if support is requested but not available.  On BSD systems, this
+   needs libexecinfo, while on glibc support for this is part of libc itself.
+
+.. option:: --enable-dev-build
+
+   Turn on some options for compiling FRR within a development environment in
+   mind.  Specifically turn on -g3 -O0 for compiling options and add inclusion
+   of grammar sandbox.
+
+.. option:: --disable-snmp
+
+   Build without SNMP support.
+
+.. option:: --disable-vtysh
+
+   Build without VTYSH.
+
+.. option:: --enable-fpm
+
+   Build with FPM module support.
+
+.. option:: --with-service-timeout=X
+
+   Set timeout value for FRR service. The time of restarting or reloading FRR
+   service should not exceed this value. This number can be from 0-999.
+   Additionally if this parameter is not passed or setting X = 0, FRR will take
+   default value: 2 minutes.
+
+.. option:: --enable-numeric-version
+
+   Alpine Linux does not allow non-numeric characters in the version string.
+   With this option, we provide a way to strip out these characters for APK dev
+   package builds.
+
+.. option:: --disable-version-build-config
+
+   Remove the "configuerd with" field that has all of the build configuration
+   arguments when reporting the version string in `show version` command.
+
+.. option:: --with-pkg-extra-version=VER
+
+   Add extra version field, for packagers/distributions
+
+.. option::  --with-pkg-git-version
+
+   Add git information to MOTD and build version string
+
+.. option:: --enable-multipath=X
+
+   Compile FRR with up to X way ECMP supported.  This number can be from 0-999.
+   For backwards compatibility with older configure options when setting X = 0,
+   we will build FRR with 64 way ECMP.  This is needed because there are
+   hardcoded arrays that FRR builds towards, so we need to know how big to
+   make these arrays at build time.  Additionally if this parameter is
+   not passed in FRR will default to 16 ECMP.
+
+.. option:: --enable-shell-access
+
+   Turn on the ability of FRR to access some shell options( telnet/ssh/bash/etc. )
+   from vtysh itself.  This option is considered extremely unsecure and should only
+   be considered for usage if you really really know what you are doing.
+
+.. option:: --enable-gcov
+
+   Code coverage reports from gcov require adjustments to the C and LD flags.
+   With this option, gcov instrumentation is added to the build and coverage
+   reports are created during execution.  The check-coverage make target is
+   also created to ease report uploading to codecov.io.  The upload requires
+   the COMMIT (git hash) and TOKEN (codecov upload token) environment variables
+   be set.
+
+.. option:: --enable-config-rollbacks
+
+   Build with configuration rollback support. Requires SQLite3.
+
+.. option:: --enable-confd=<dir>
+
+   Build the ConfD northbound plugin. Look for the libconfd libs and headers
+   in `dir`.
+
+.. option:: --enable-sysrepo
+
+   Build the Sysrepo northbound plugin.
+
+.. option:: --enable-grpc
+
+   Enable the gRPC northbound plugin.
+
+.. option:: --enable-zeromq
+
+   Enable the ZeroMQ handler.
+
+.. option:: --with-libpam
+
+   Use libpam for PAM support in vtysh.
+
+.. option:: --enable-time-check XXX
+
+   This option is deprecated as it was replaced by the
+   :clicmd:`service cputime-stats` CLI command, which may be adjusted at
+   runtime rather than being a compile-time setting.  See there for further
+   detail.
+
+.. option:: --disable-cpu-time
+
+   This option is deprecated as it was replaced by the
+   :clicmd:`service cputime-warning NNN` CLI command, which may be adjusted at
+   runtime rather than being a compile-time setting.  See there for further
+   detail.
+
+.. option:: --enable-pcreposix
+
+   Turn on the usage of PCRE Posix libs for regex functionality.
+
+.. option:: --enable-rpath
+
+   Set hardcoded rpaths in the executable [default=yes].
+
+.. option:: --enable-scripting
+
+   Enable Lua scripting [default=no].
+
+You may specify any combination of the above options to the configure
+script. By default, the executables are placed in :file:`/usr/local/sbin`
+and the configuration files in :file:`/usr/local/etc`. The :file:`/usr/local/`
+installation prefix and other directories may be changed using the following
+options to the configuration script.
+
+.. option:: --prefix <prefix>
+
+   Install architecture-independent files in `prefix` [/usr/local].
+
+.. option:: --sysconfdir <dir>
+
+   Look for configuration files in `dir` [`prefix`/etc]. Note that sample
+   configuration files will be installed here.
+
+.. option:: --localstatedir <dir>
+
+   Configure zebra to use `dir` for local state files, such as pid files and
+   unix sockets.
+
+.. option:: --with-scriptdir <dir>
+
+   Look for Lua scripts in ``dir`` [``prefix``/etc/frr/scripts].
+
+.. option:: --with-yangmodelsdir <dir>
+
+   Look for YANG modules in `dir` [`prefix`/share/yang]. Note that the FRR
+   YANG modules will be installed here.
+
+.. option:: --with-vici-socket <path>
+
+   Set StrongSWAN vici interface socket path [/var/run/charon.vici].
+
+.. note::
+
+   The former ``--enable-systemd`` option does not exist anymore.  Support for
+   systemd is now always available through built-in functions, without
+   depending on libsystemd.
+
+Python dependency, documentation and tests
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+FRR's documentation and basic unit tests heavily use code written in Python.
+Additionally, FRR ships Python extensions written in C which are used during
+its build process.
+
+To this extent, FRR needs the following:
+
+* an installation of CPython, preferably version 3.2 or newer (2.7 works but
+  is end of life and will stop working at some point.)
+* development files (mostly headers) for that version of CPython
+* an installation of `sphinx` for that version of CPython, to build the
+  documentation
+* an installation of `pytest` for that version of CPython, to run the unit
+  tests
+
+The `sphinx` and `pytest` dependencies can be avoided by not building
+documentation / not running ``make check``, but the CPython dependency is a
+hard dependency of the FRR build process (for the `clippy` tool.)

+.. index::
+   single: FRR Least-Privileges
+   single: FRR Privileges
+
+.. _least-privilege-support:
+
+Least-Privilege Support
+"""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Additionally, you may configure zebra to drop its elevated privileges
+shortly after startup and switch to another user. The configure script will
+automatically try to configure this support. There are three configure
+options to control the behaviour of FRR daemons.
+
+.. option:: --enable-user <user>
+
+   Switch to user `user shortly after startup, and run as user `user` in normal
+   operation.
+
+.. option:: --enable-group <user>
+
+   Switch real and effective group to `group` shortly after startup.
+
+.. option:: --enable-vty-group <group>
+
+   Create Unix Vty sockets (for use with vtysh) with group ownership set to
+   `group`. This allows one to create a separate group which is restricted to
+   accessing only the vty sockets, hence allowing one to delegate this group to
+   individual users, or to run vtysh setgid to this group.
+
+The default user and group which will be configured is 'frr' if no user or
+group is specified. Note that this user or group requires write access to the
+local state directory (see :option:`--localstatedir`) and requires at least
+read access, and write access if you wish to allow daemons to write out their
+configuration, to the configuration directory (see :option:`--sysconfdir`).
+
+On systems which have the 'libcap' capabilities manipulation library (currently
+only Linux), FRR will retain only minimal capabilities required and will only
+raise these capabilities for brief periods. On systems without libcap, FRR will
+run as the user specified and only raise its UID to 0 for brief periods.

+
+Linux Notes
+"""""""""""
+
+There are several options available only to GNU/Linux systems.  If you use
+GNU/Linux, make sure that the current kernel configuration is what you want.
+FRR will run with any kernel configuration but some recommendations do exist.
+
+:makevar:`CONFIG_NETLINK`
+   Kernel/User Netlink socket. This enables an advanced interface between
+   the Linux kernel and *zebra* (:ref:`kernel-interface`).
+
+:makevar:`CONFIG_RTNETLINK`
+   This makes it possible to receive Netlink routing messages.  If you specify
+   this option, *zebra* can detect routing information updates directly from
+   the kernel (:ref:`kernel-interface`).
+
+:makevar:`CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST`
+   This option enables IP multicast and should be specified when you use *ripd*
+   (:ref:`rip`) or *ospfd* (:ref:`ospfv2`) because these protocols use
+   multicast.
+
+Linux sysctl settings and kernel modules
+````````````````````````````````````````
+
+There are several kernel parameters that impact overall operation of FRR when
+using Linux as a router. Generally these parameters should be set in a
+sysctl related configuration file, e.g., :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` on
+Ubuntu based systems and a new file
+:file:`/etc/sysctl.d/90-routing-sysctl.conf` on Centos based systems.
+Additional kernel modules are also needed to support MPLS forwarding.
+
+:makevar:`IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding`
+   The following are set to enable IP forwarding in the kernel:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1
+      net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+
+:makevar:`MPLS forwarding`
+   Basic MPLS support was introduced in the kernel in version 4.1 and
+   additional capability was introduced in 4.3 and 4.5.
+   For some general information on Linux MPLS support, see
+   https://www.netdevconf.org/1.1/proceedings/slides/prabhu-mpls-tutorial.pdf.
+   The following modules should be loaded to support MPLS forwarding,
+   and are generally added to a configuration file such as
+   :file:`/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      # Load MPLS Kernel Modules
+      mpls_router
+      mpls_iptunnel
+
+   The following is an example to enable MPLS forwarding in the
+   kernel, typically by editing :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf`:
+
+   .. code-block:: shell
+
+      # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces
+      net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1
+      net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1
+      net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
+      net.mpls.platform_labels=100000
+
+   Make sure to add a line equal to :file:`net.mpls.conf.<if>.input` for
+   each interface *'<if>'* used with MPLS and to set labels to an
+   appropriate value.
+
+:makevar:`VRF forwarding`
+   General information on Linux VRF support can be found in
+   https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt.
+
+   Kernel support for VRFs was introduced in 4.3, but there are known issues
+   in versions up to 4.15 (for IPv4) and 5.0 (for IPv6). The FRR CI system
+   doesn't perform VRF tests on older kernel versions, and VRFs may not work
+   on them. If you experience issues with VRF support, you should upgrade your
+   kernel version.
+
+   .. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf`
+
+Building
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Once you have chosen your configure options, run the configure script and pass
+the options you chose:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   ./configure \
+       --prefix=/usr \
+       --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
+       --sbindir=/usr/lib/frr \
+       --sysconfdir=/etc/frr \
+       --enable-pimd \
+       --enable-watchfrr \
+       ...
+
+After configuring the software, you are ready to build and install it in your
+system.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   make && sudo make install
+
+If everything finishes successfully, FRR should be installed. You should now
+skip to the section on :ref:`basic-setup`.

+IPv6 Support
+************
+
+FRR fully supports IPv6 routing.  As described so far, FRR supports RIPng,
+OSPFv3, and BGP-4+.  You can give IPv6 addresses to an interface and configure
+static IPv6 routing information.  FRR IPv6 also provides automatic address
+configuration via a feature called ``address auto configuration``.  To do it,
+the router must send router advertisement messages to the all nodes that exist
+on the network.
+
+Previous versions of FRR could be built without IPv6 support.  This is
+no longer possible.
+
+Router Advertisement
+====================
+
+.. clicmd:: show ipv6 nd ra-interfaces [vrf <VRFNAME|all>]
+
+   Show configured route advertisement interfaces. VRF subcommand only
+   applicable for netns-based vrfs.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd suppress-ra
+
+   Don't send router advertisement messages. The ``no`` form of this command
+   enables sending RA messages.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd prefix ipv6prefix [valid-lifetime] [preferred-lifetime] [off-link] [no-autoconfig] [router-address]
+
+   Configuring the IPv6 prefix to include in router advertisements. Several prefix
+   specific optional parameters and flags may follow:
+
+   - ``valid-lifetime``: the length of time in seconds during what the prefix is
+     valid for the purpose of on-link determination. Value ``infinite`` represents
+     infinity (i.e. a value of all one bits (``0xffffffff``)).
+     Range: ``(0-4294967295)``  Default: ``2592000``
+
+   - ``preferred-lifetime``: the length of time in seconds during what addresses
+     generated from the prefix remain preferred. Value ``infinite`` represents
+     infinity.
+     Range: ``(0-4294967295)``  Default: ``604800``
+
+   - ``off-link``: indicates that advertisement makes no statement about on-link or
+     off-link properties of the prefix.
+     Default: not set, i.e. this prefix can be used for on-link determination.
+
+   - ``no-autoconfig``: indicates to hosts on the local link that the specified prefix
+     cannot be used for IPv6 autoconfiguration.
+
+     Default: not set, i.e. prefix can be used for autoconfiguration.
+
+   - ``router-address``: indicates to hosts on the local link that the specified
+     prefix contains a complete IP address by setting R flag.
+
+     Default: not set, i.e. hosts do not assume a complete IP address is placed.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd ra-interval [(1-1800)]
+
+   The maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast router
+   advertisements from the interface, in seconds.

+
+   The maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast router
+   advertisements from the interface, in milliseconds.
+   Default: ``600000``
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd ra-fast-retrans
+
+   RFC4861 states that consecutive RA packets should be sent no more
+   frequently than three seconds apart. FRR by default allows faster
+   transmissions of RA packets in order to speed convergence and
+   neighbor establishment, particularly for unnumbered peering.  By
+   turning off ipv6 nd ra-fast-retrans, the implementation is
+   compliant with the RFC at the cost of slower convergence
+   and neighbor establishment.
+   Default: enabled
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd ra-retrans-interval [(0-4294967295)]
+
+   The value to be placed in the retrans timer field of router advertisements
+   sent from the interface, in msec. Indicates the interval between router
+   advertisement retransmissions. Setting the value to zero indicates that
+   the value is unspecified by this router. Must be between zero or 4294967295
+   msec.
+   Default: ``0``
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd ra-hop-limit [(0-255)]
+
+   The value to be placed in the hop count field of router advertisements sent
+   from the interface, in hops. Indicates the maximum diameter of the network.
+   Setting the value to zero indicates that the value is unspecified by this
+   router.  Must be between zero or 255 hops.
+   Default: ``64``
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd ra-lifetime [(0-9000)]
+
+   The value to be placed in the Router Lifetime field of router advertisements
+   sent from the interface, in seconds. Indicates the usefulness of the router
+   as a default router on this interface. Setting the value to zero indicates
+   that the router should not be considered a default router on this interface.
+   Must be either zero or between value specified with ``ipv6 nd ra-interval``
+   (or default) and 9000 seconds.
+   Default: ``1800``
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd reachable-time [(1-3600000)]
+
+   The value to be placed in the Reachable Time field in the Router
+   Advertisement messages sent by the router, in milliseconds. The configured
+   time enables the router to detect unavailable neighbors. The value zero
+   means unspecified (by this router).
+   Default: ``0``
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
+
+   Set/unset flag in IPv6 router advertisements which indicates to hosts that
+   they should use managed (stateful) protocol for addresses autoconfiguration
+   in addition to any addresses autoconfigured using stateless address
+   autoconfiguration.
+   Default: not set
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd other-config-flag
+

+
+   Set/unset flag in IPv6 router advertisements which indicates to hosts that
+   the router acts as a Home Agent and includes a Home Agent Option.
+   Default: not set
+
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd home-agent-preference [(0-65535)]
+
+   The value to be placed in Home Agent Option, when Home Agent config flag is
+   set, which indicates to hosts Home Agent preference. The default value of 0
+   stands for the lowest preference possible.
+   Default: ``0``
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd home-agent-lifetime [(0-65520)]
+
+   The value to be placed in Home Agent Option, when Home Agent config flag is set,
+   which indicates to hosts Home Agent Lifetime. The default value of 0 means to
+   place the current Router Lifetime value.
+
+   Default: ``0``
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd adv-interval-option
+
+   Include an Advertisement Interval option which indicates to hosts the maximum time,
+   in milliseconds, between successive unsolicited Router Advertisements.
+   Default: not set
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd router-preference [(high|medium|low)]
+
+   Set default router preference in IPv6 router advertisements per RFC4191.
+   Default: medium
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd mtu [(1-65535)]
+
+   Include an MTU (type 5) option in each RA packet to assist the attached
+   hosts in proper interface configuration. The announced value is not verified
+   to be consistent with router interface MTU.
+
+   Default: don't advertise any MTU option.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd rdnss ipv6address [lifetime]
+
+   Recursive DNS server address to advertise using the RDNSS (type 25) option
+   described in RFC8106. Can be specified more than once to advertise multiple

+   to track.
+
+   Optional parameter:
+
+   - ``lifetime``: the maximum time in seconds over which the specified address
+     may be used for domain name resolution. Value ``infinite`` represents
+     infinity (i.e. a value of all one bits (``0xffffffff``)). A value of 0
+     indicates that the address must no longer be used.
+     Range: ``(0-4294967295)``  Default: ``3 * ra-interval``
+
+   Default: do not emit RDNSS option
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nd dnssl domain-name-suffix [lifetime]
+
+   Advertise DNS search list using the DNSSL (type 31) option described in
+   RFC8106. Specify more than once to advertise multiple domain name suffixes.

+Configuring isisd
+=================
+
+There are no *isisd* specific options. Common options can be specified
+(:ref:`common-invocation-options`) to *isisd*. *isisd* needs to acquire
+interface information from *zebra* in order to function. Therefore *zebra* must
+be running before invoking *isisd*. Also, if *zebra* is restarted then *isisd*
+must be too.

+Segment Routing
+===============
+
+This is an EXPERIMENTAL support of Segment Routing as per RFC8667
+for MPLS dataplane. It supports IPv4, IPv6 and ECMP and has been
+tested against Cisco & Juniper routers.
+
+Known limitations:
+ - No support for level redistribution (L1 to L2 or L2 to L1)
+ - No support for binding SID
+ - No support for SRMS
+ - No support for SRLB
+ - Only one SRGB and default SPF Algorithm is supported

+
+   Set the Segment Routing Global Block i.e. the label range used by MPLS
+   to store label in the MPLS FIB for Prefix SID. Note that the block size
+   may not exceed 65535. Optionally sets also the Segment Routing Local Block.

+
+   prefix. The 'no-php-flag' means NO Penultimate Hop Popping that allows SR
+   node to request to its neighbor to not pop the label. The 'explicit-null'
+   flag allows SR node to request to its neighbor to send IP packet with the
+   EXPLICIT-NULL label. The 'n-flag-clear' option can be used to explicitly
+   clear the Node flag that is set by default for Prefix-SIDs associated to

+****************
+Kernel Interface
+****************
+
+There are several different methods for reading kernel routing table
+information, updating kernel routing tables, and for looking up interfaces.
+FRR relies heavily on the Netlink (``man 7 netlink``) interface to
+communicate with the Kernel. However, other interfaces are still used
+in some parts of the code.
+
+- ioctl
+     This method is a very traditional way for reading or writing kernel
+     information. `ioctl` can be used for looking up interfaces and for
+     modifying interface addresses, flags, mtu settings and other types of
+     information. Also, `ioctl` can insert and delete kernel routing table
+     entries. It will soon be available on almost any platform which zebra
+     supports, but it is a little bit ugly thus far, so if a better method is
+     supported by the kernel, zebra will use that.
+
+- sysctl
+     This is a program that can lookup kernel information using MIB (Management
+     Information Base) syntax. Normally, it only provides a way of getting
+     information from the kernel. So one would usually want to change kernel
+     information using another method such as `ioctl`.
+
+- proc filesystem
+     This is a special filesystem mount that provides an easy way of getting
+     kernel information.
+
+- routing socket / Netlink
+     Netlink first appeard in Linux kernel 2.0. It makes asynchronous
+     communication between the kernel and FRR possible, similar to a routing
+     socket on BSD systems. Netlink communication is done by reading/writing
+     over Netlink socket.

+LDP
+***
+
+The *ldpd* daemon is a standardised protocol that permits exchanging MPLS label
+information between MPLS devices. The LDP protocol creates peering between
+devices, so as to exchange that label information. This information is stored in
+MPLS table of *zebra*, and it injects that MPLS information in the underlying
+system (Linux kernel or OpenBSD system for instance).
+*ldpd* provides necessary options to create a Layer 2 VPN across MPLS network.
+For instance, it is possible to interconnect several sites that share the same
+broadcast domain.
+
+FRR implements LDP as described in :rfc:`5036`; other LDP standard are the
+following ones: :rfc:`6720`, :rfc:`6667`, :rfc:`5919`, :rfc:`5561`, :rfc:`7552`,
+:rfc:`4447`.
+Because MPLS is already available, FRR also supports :rfc:`3031`.
+
+Running Ldpd
+============
+
+The *ldpd* daemon can be invoked with any of the common
+options (:ref:`common-invocation-options`).
+
+.. option:: --ctl_socket
+
+   This option allows you to override the path to the ldpd.sock file
+   used to control this daemon.  If specified this option overrides
+   the -N option path addition.
+
+The *zebra* daemon must be running before *ldpd* is invoked.
+
+Configuration of *ldpd* is done in its configuration file
+:file:`ldpd.conf`.
+
+
+.. _understanding-ldp:
+
+Understanding LDP principles
+============================
+
+Let's first introduce some definitions that permit understand better the LDP
+protocol:
+
+- `LSR` : Labeled Switch Router. Networking devices handling labels used to
+  forward traffic between and through them.
+
+- `LER` : Labeled Edge Router. A Labeled edge router is located at the edge of
+   an MPLS network, generally between an IP network and an MPLS network.
+
+
+``LDP`` aims at sharing label information across devices. It tries to establish
+peering with remote LDP capable devices, first by discovering using UDP port 646
+, then by peering using TCP port 646. Once the TCP session is established, the
+label information is shared, through label advertisements.
+
+There are different methods to send label advertisement modes. The
+implementation actually supports the following : Liberal Label Retention +
+Downstream Unsolicited + Independent Control.
+The other advertising modes are depicted below, and compared with the current
+implementation.
+
+- Liberal label retention versus conservative mode
+  In liberal mode, every label sent by every LSR is stored in the MPLS table.
+  In conservative mode, only the label that was sent by the best next hop
+  (determined by the IGP metric) for that particular FEC is stored in the MPLS
+  table.
+
+- Independent LSP Control versus ordered LSP Control
+  MPLS has two ways of binding labels to FEC’s; either through ordered LSP
+  control, or independent LSP control.
+  Ordered LSP control only binds a label to a FEC if it is the egress LSR, or
+  the router received a label binding for a FEC from the next hop router. In
+  this mode, an MPLS router will create a label binding for each FEC and
+  distribute it to its neighbors so long as he has a entry in the RIB for the
+  destination.
+  In the other mode, label bindings are made without any dependencies on another
+  router advertising a label for a particular FEC. Each router makes it own
+  independent decision to create a label for each FEC.
+  By default IOS uses Independent LSP Control, while Juniper implements the
+  Ordered Control. Both modes are interoperable, the difference is that Ordered
+  Control prevent blackholing during the LDP convergence process, at cost of
+  slowing down the convergence itself
+
+- unsolicited downstream versus downstream on demand
+  Downstream on demand label distribution is where an LSR must explicitly
+  request that a label be sent from its downstream router for a particular FEC.
+  Unsolicited label distribution is where a label is sent from the downstream
+  router without the original router requesting it.
+
+.. _configuring-ldpd:
+
+.. _ldp-configuration:
+
+LDP Configuration
+===================
+
+.. clicmd:: mpls ldp
+
+   Enable or disable LDP daemon
+
+.. clicmd:: router-id A.B.C.D
+
+   The following command located under MPLS router node configures the MPLS
+   router-id of the local device.
+
+.. clicmd:: ordered-control
+
+   Configure LDP Ordered Label Distribution Control.
+
+.. clicmd:: address-family [ipv4 | ipv6]
+
+   Configure LDP for IPv4 or IPv6 address-family. Located under MPLS route node,
+   this subnode permits configuring the LDP neighbors.
+
+.. clicmd:: interface IFACE
+
+   Located under MPLS address-family node, use this command to enable or disable
+   LDP discovery per interface. IFACE stands for the interface name where LDP is
+   enabled. By default it is disabled. Once this command executed, the
+   address-family interface node is configured.
+
+.. clicmd:: discovery transport-address A.B.C.D | A:B::C:D
+
+   Located under mpls address-family interface node, use this command to set
+   the IPv4 or IPv6 transport-address used by the LDP protocol to talk on this
+   interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ttl-security disable
+
+   Located under the LDP address-family node, use this command to disable the
+   GTSM procedures described in RFC 6720 (for the IPv4 address-family) and
+   RFC 7552 (for the IPv6 address-family).
+
+   Since GTSM is mandatory for LDPv6, the only effect of disabling GTSM for the
+   IPv6 address-family is that *ldpd* will not discard packets with a hop limit
+   below 255. This may be necessary to interoperate with older implementations.
+   Outgoing packets will still be sent using a hop limit of 255 for maximum
+   compatibility.
+
+   If GTSM is enabled, multi-hop neighbors should have either GTSM disabled
+   individually or configured with an appropriate ttl-security hops distance.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D password PASSWORD
+
+   The following command located under MPLS router node configures the router
+   of a LDP device. This device, if found, will have to comply with the
+   configured password. PASSWORD is a clear text password wit its digest sent
+   through the network.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D holdtime HOLDTIME
+
+   The following command located under MPLS router node configures the holdtime
+   value in seconds of the LDP neighbor ID. Configuring it triggers a keepalive
+   mechanism. That value can be configured between 15 and 65535 seconds. After
+   this time of non response, the LDP established session will be considered as
+   set to down. By default, no holdtime is configured for the LDP devices.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D ttl-security disable
+
+   Located under the MPLS LDP node, use this command to override the global
+   configuration and enable/disable GTSM for the specified neighbor.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D ttl-security hops (1-254)
+
+   Located under the MPLS LDP node, use this command to set the maximum number
+   of hops the specified neighbor may be away. When GTSM is enabled for this
+   neighbor, incoming packets are required to have a TTL/hop limit of 256
+   minus this value, ensuring they have not passed through more than the
+   expected number of hops. The default value is 1.
+
+.. clicmd:: discovery hello holdtime HOLDTIME
+
+.. clicmd:: discovery hello interval INTERVAL
+
+   INTERVAL value ranges from 1 to 65535 seconds. Default value is 5 seconds.
+   This is the value between each hello timer message sent.
+   HOLDTIME value ranges from 1 to 65535 seconds. Default value is 15 seconds.
+   That value is added as a TLV in the LDP messages.
+
+.. clicmd:: dual-stack transport-connection prefer ipv4
+
+   When *ldpd* is configured for dual-stack operation, the transport connection
+   preference is IPv6 by default (as specified by :rfc:`7552`). On such
+   circumstances, *ldpd* will refuse to establish TCP connections over IPv4.
+   You can use above command to change the transport connection preference to
+   IPv4. In this case, it will be possible to distribute label mappings for
+   IPv6 FECs over TCPv4 connections.
+
+.. _show-ldp-information:

+   - ``messages``
+   - ``zebra``
+
+
+Sample configuration
+====================
+
+Below configuration gives a typical MPLS configuration of a device located in a
+MPLS backbone. LDP is enabled on two interfaces and will attempt to peer with
+two neighbors with router-id set to either 1.1.1.1 or 3.3.3.3.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   mpls ldp
+    router-id 2.2.2.2
+    neighbor 1.1.1.1 password test
+    neighbor 3.3.3.3 password test
+    !
+    address-family ipv4
+     discovery transport-address 2.2.2.2
+     !
+     interface eth1
+     !
+     interface eth3
+     !
+    exit-address-family
+    !
+
+
+Deploying LDP across a backbone generally is done in a full mesh configuration
+topology. LDP is typically deployed with an IGP like OSPF, that helps discover
+the remote IPs. Below example is an OSPF configuration extract that goes with
+LDP configuration
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router ospf
+    ospf router-id 2.2.2.2
+     network 0.0.0.0/0 area 0
+    !
+
+
+Below output shows the routing entry on the LER side. The OSPF routing entry
+(10.200.0.0) is associated with Label entry (17), and shows that MPLS push action
+that traffic to that destination will be applied.

+****
+NHRP
+****
+
+*nhrpd* is an implementation of the :abbr:`NHRP (Next Hop Routing Protocol)`.
+NHRP is described in :rfc:`2332`.
+
+NHRP is used to improve the efficiency of routing computer network traffic over
+:abbr:`NBMA (Non-Broadcast, Multiple Access)` networks. NHRP provides an
+ARP-like solution that allows a system to dynamically learn the NBMA address of
+the other systems that are part of that network, allowing these systems to
+directly communicate without requiring traffic to use an intermediate hop.
+
+NHRP is a client-server protocol. The server side is called the :abbr:`NHS
+(Next Hop Server)` or the hub, while a client is referred to as the :abbr:`NHC
+(Next Hop Client)` or the spoke. When a node is configured as an NHC, it
+registers its address with the NHS which keeps track of all registered spokes.
+An NHC client can then query the addresses of other clients from NHS allowing
+all spokes to communicate directly with each other.
+
+Cisco Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is based on NHRP, and |PACKAGE_NAME| nhrpd
+implements this scenario.
+
+.. _routing-design:
+
+Routing Design
+==============
+
+nhrpd never handles routing of prefixes itself. You need to run some
+real routing protocol (e.g. BGP) to advertise routes over the tunnels.
+What nhrpd does it establishes 'shortcut routes' that optimizes the
+routing protocol to avoid going through extra nodes in NBMA GRE mesh.
+
+nhrpd does route NHRP domain addresses individually using per-host prefixes.
+This is similar to Cisco FlexVPN; but in contrast to opennhrp which uses
+a generic subnet route.
+
+To create NBMA GRE tunnel you might use the following (Linux terminal
+commands):
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ip tunnel add gre1 mode gre key 42 ttl 64
+   ip addr add 10.255.255.2/32 dev gre1
+   ip link set gre1 up
+
+
+Note that the IP-address is assigned as host prefix to gre1. nhrpd will
+automatically create additional host routes pointing to gre1 when
+a connection with these hosts is established.
+
+The gre1 subnet prefix should be announced by routing protocol from the
+hub nodes (e.g. BGP 'network' announce). This allows the routing protocol
+to decide which is the closest hub and determine the relay hub on prefix
+basis when direct tunnel is not established.
+
+nhrpd will redistribute directly connected neighbors to zebra. Within
+hub nodes, these routes should be internally redistributed using some
+routing protocol (e.g. iBGP) to allow hubs to be able to relay all traffic.
+
+This can be achieved in hubs with the following bgp configuration (network
+command defines the GRE subnet):
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+  router bgp 65555
+   address-family ipv4 unicast
+     network 172.16.0.0/16
+     redistribute nhrp
+   exit-address-family
+
+
+.. _configuring-nhrp:
+
+Configuring NHRP
+================
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp holdtime (1-65000)
+
+   Holdtime is the number of seconds that have to pass before stopping to
+   advertise an NHRP NBMA address as valid. It also controls how often NHRP
+   registration requests are sent. By default registrations are sent every one
+   third of the holdtime.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp map A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X A.B.C.D|local
+
+   Map an IP address of a station to the station's NBMA address.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp network-id (1-4294967295)
+
+   Enable NHRP on this interface and set the interface's network ID.  The
+   network ID is used to allow creating multiple nhrp domains on a router when
+   multiple interfaces are configured on the router.  Interfaces configured
+   with the same ID are part of the same logical NBMA network. The ID is a
+   local only parameter and is not sent to other NHRP nodes and so IDs on
+   different nodes do not need to match. When NHRP packets are received on an
+   interface they are assigned to the local NHRP domain for that interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp nhs A.B.C.D nbma A.B.C.D|FQDN
+
+   Configure the Next Hop Server address and its NBMA address.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp nhs dynamic nbma A.B.C.D
+
+   Configure the Next Hop Server to have a dynamic address and set its NBMA
+   address.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp registration no-unique
+
+   Allow the client to not set the unique flag in the NHRP packets. This is
+   useful when a station has a dynamic IP address that could change over time.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp shortcut
+
+   Enable shortcut (spoke-to-spoke) tunnels to allow NHC to talk to each others
+   directly after establishing a connection without going through the hub.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp mtu
+
+   Configure NHRP advertised MTU.
+
+
+.. _hub-functionality:
+
+Hub Functionality
+=================
+
+In addition to routing nhrp redistributed host prefixes, the hub nodes
+are also responsible to send NHRP Traffic Indication messages that
+trigger creation of the shortcut tunnels.
+
+nhrpd sends Traffic Indication messages based on network traffic captured
+using NFLOG. Typically you want to send Traffic Indications for network
+traffic that is routed from gre1 back to gre1 in rate limited manner.
+This can be achieved with the following iptables rule.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   iptables -A FORWARD -i gre1 -o gre1 \\
+       -m hashlimit --hashlimit-upto 4/minute --hashlimit-burst 1 \\
+       --hashlimit-mode srcip,dstip --hashlimit-srcmask 24 --hashlimit-dstmask 24 \\
+       --hashlimit-name loglimit-0 -j NFLOG --nflog-group 1 --nflog-range 128
+
+
+You can fine tune the src/dstmask according to the prefix lengths you announce
+internal, add additional IP range matches, or rate limitation if needed.
+However, the above should be good in most cases.
+
+This kernel NFLOG target's nflog-group is configured in global nhrp config
+with:
+
+.. clicmd:: nhrp nflog-group (1-65535)
+
+To start sending these traffic notices out from hubs, use the nhrp
+per-interface directive:
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp redirect
+
+This enable redirect replies on the NHS similar to ICMP redirects except this
+is managed by the nhrp protocol. This setting allows spokes to communicate with
+each others directly.
+
+.. _integration-with-ike:
+
+Integration with IKE
+====================
+
+nhrpd needs tight integration with IKE daemon for various reasons.
+Currently only strongSwan is supported as IKE daemon.
+
+nhrpd connects to strongSwan using VICI protocol based on UNIX socket which
+can be configured using the command below (default to /var/run/charon.vici).
+
+strongSwan currently needs few patches applied. Please check out the
+original patches at:
+https://git-old.alpinelinux.org/user/tteras/strongswan/
+
+Actively maintained patches are also available at:
+https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/tree/master/main/strongswan
+
+.. _multicast-functionality:
+
+Multicast Functionality
+=======================
+
+nhrpd can be configured to forward multicast packets, allowing routing
+protocols that use multicast (such as OSPF) to be supported in the DMVPN
+network.
+
+This support requires an iptables NFLOG rule to allow nhrpd to intercept
+multicast packets. A second iptables rule is also usually used to drop the
+original multicast packet.
+
+ .. code-block:: shell
+
+   iptables -A OUTPUT -d 224.0.0.0/24 -o gre1 -j NFLOG --nflog-group 2
+   iptables -A OUTPUT -d 224.0.0.0/24 -o gre1 -j DROP
+
+.. clicmd:: nhrp multicast-nflog-group (1-65535)
+
+   Sets the nflog group that nhrpd will listen on for multicast packets. This
+   value must match the nflog-group value set in the iptables rule.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nhrp map multicast A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X A.B.C.D|dynamic
+
+   Sends multicast packets to the specified NBMA address. If dynamic is
+   specified then destination NBMA address (or addresses) are learnt
+   dynamically.
+
+.. _nhrp-events:
+
+NHRP Events
+===========
+
+.. clicmd:: nhrp event socket SOCKET
+
+   Configure the Unix path for the event socket.
+
+.. _show-nhrp:

+Show  NHRP
+==========
+

+OSPFv3
+******
+
+*ospf6d* is a daemon support OSPF version 3 for IPv6 network. OSPF for IPv6 is
+described in :rfc:`2740`.
+
+.. _ospf6-router:
+
+OSPF6 router
+============
+
+.. clicmd:: router ospf6 [vrf NAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ospf6 router-id A.B.C.D
+
+   Set router's Router-ID.
+
+.. clicmd:: timers throttle spf (0-600000) (0-600000) (0-600000)
+
+   This command sets the initial `delay`, the `initial-holdtime`
+   and the `maximum-holdtime` between when SPF is calculated and the
+   event which triggered the calculation. The times are specified in
+   milliseconds and must be in the range of 0 to 600000 milliseconds.
+
+   The `delay` specifies the minimum amount of time to delay SPF
+   calculation (hence it affects how long SPF calculation is delayed after
+   an event which occurs outside of the holdtime of any previous SPF
+   calculation, and also serves as a minimum holdtime).
+
+   Consecutive SPF calculations will always be separated by at least
+   'hold-time' milliseconds. The hold-time is adaptive and initially is
+   set to the `initial-holdtime` configured with the above command.
+   Events which occur within the holdtime of the previous SPF calculation
+   will cause the holdtime to be increased by `initial-holdtime`, bounded
+   by the `maximum-holdtime` configured with this command. If the adaptive
+   hold-time elapses without any SPF-triggering event occurring then
+   the current holdtime is reset to the `initial-holdtime`.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router ospf6
+       timers throttle spf 200 400 10000
+
+
+   In this example, the `delay` is set to 200ms, the initial holdtime is set
+   to 400ms and the `maximum holdtime` to 10s. Hence there will always be at
+   least 200ms between an event which requires SPF calculation and the actual
+   SPF calculation. Further consecutive SPF calculations will always be
+   separated by between 400ms to 10s, the hold-time increasing by 400ms each
+   time an SPF-triggering event occurs within the hold-time of the previous
+   SPF calculation.
+
+.. clicmd:: auto-cost reference-bandwidth COST
+
+
+   This sets the reference bandwidth for cost calculations, where this
+   bandwidth is considered equivalent to an OSPF cost of 1, specified in
+   Mbits/s. The default is 100Mbit/s (i.e. a link of bandwidth 100Mbit/s
+   or higher will have a cost of 1. Cost of lower bandwidth links will be
+   scaled with reference to this cost).
+
+   This configuration setting MUST be consistent across all routers
+   within the OSPF domain.
+
+.. clicmd:: maximum-paths (1-64)
+
+   Use this command to control the maximum number of parallel routes that
+   OSPFv3 can support. The default is 64.
+
+.. clicmd:: write-multiplier (1-100)
+
+   Use this command to tune the amount of work done in the packet read and
+   write threads before relinquishing control. The parameter is the number
+   of packets to process before returning. The default value of this parameter
+   is 20.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear ipv6 ospf6 process [vrf NAME]
+
+   This command clears up the database and routing tables and resets the
+   neighborship by restarting the interface state machine. This will be
+   helpful when there is a change in router-id and if user wants the router-id
+   change to take effect, user can use this cli instead of restarting the
+   ospf6d daemon.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear ipv6 ospf6 [vrf NAME] interface [IFNAME]
+
+   This command restarts the interface state machine for all interfaces in the
+   VRF or only for the specific interface if ``IFNAME`` is specified.
+
+ASBR Summarisation Support in OSPFv3
+====================================
+
+   External routes in OSPFv3 are carried by type 5/7 LSA (external LSAs).
+   External LSAs are generated by ASBR (Autonomous System Boundary Router).
+   Large topology database requires a large amount of router memory, which
+   slows down all processes, including SPF calculations.
+   It is necessary to reduce the size of the OSPFv3 topology database,
+   especially in a large network. Summarising routes keeps the routing
+   tables smaller and easier to troubleshoot.
+
+   External route summarization must be configured on ASBR.
+   Stub area do not allow ASBR because they don’t allow type 5 LSAs.
+
+   An ASBR will inject a summary route into the OSPFv3 domain.
+
+   Summary route will only be advertised if you have at least one subnet
+   that falls within the summary range.
+
+   Users will be allowed an option in the CLI to not advertise range of
+   ipv6 prefixes as well.
+
+   The configuration of ASBR Summarisation is supported using the CLI command
+
+.. clicmd:: summary-address X:X::X:X/M [tag (1-4294967295)] [{metric (0-16777215) | metric-type (1-2)}]
+
+   This command will advertise a single External LSA on behalf of all the
+   prefixes falling under this range configured by the CLI.
+   The user is allowed to configure tag, metric and metric-type as well.
+   By default, tag is not configured, default metric as 20 and metric-type
+   as type-2 gets advertised.
+   A summary route is created when one or more specific routes are learned and
+   removed when no more specific route exist.
+   The summary route is also installed in the local system with Null0 as
+   next-hop to avoid leaking traffic.
+
+.. clicmd:: no summary-address X:X::X:X/M [tag (1-4294967295)] [{metric (0-16777215) | metric-type (1-2)}]
+
+   This command can be used to remove the summarisation configuration.
+   This will flush the single External LSA if it was originated and advertise
+   the External LSAs for all the existing individual prefixes.
+
+.. clicmd:: summary-address X:X::X:X/M no-advertise
+
+   This command can be used when user do not want to advertise a certain
+   range of prefixes using the no-advertise option.
+   This command when configured will flush all the existing external LSAs
+   falling under this range.
+
+.. clicmd:: no summary-address X:X::X:X/M no-advertise
+
+   This command can be used to remove the previous configuration.
+   When configured, tt will resume originating external LSAs for all the prefixes
+   falling under the configured range.
+
+.. clicmd:: aggregation timer (5-1800)
+
+   The summarisation command takes effect after the aggregation timer expires.
+   By default the value of this timer is 5 seconds. User can modify the time
+   after which the external LSAs should get originated using this command.
+
+.. clicmd:: no aggregation timer (5-1800)
+
+   This command removes the timer configuration. It reverts back to default
+   5 second timer.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ipv6 ospf6 summary-address [detail] [json]
+
+   This command can be used to see all the summary-address related information.
+   When detail option is used, it shows all the prefixes falling under each
+   summary-configuration apart from other information.
+
+.. _ospf6-area:
+
+OSPF6 area
+==========
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D range X:X::X:X/M [<advertise|not-advertise|cost (0-16777215)>]
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) range X:X::X:X/M [<advertise|not-advertise|cost (0-16777215)>]
+
+    Summarize a group of internal subnets into a single Inter-Area-Prefix LSA.
+    This command can only be used at the area boundary (ABR router).
+
+    By default, the metric of the summary route is calculated as the highest
+    metric among the summarized routes. The `cost` option, however, can be used
+    to set an explicit metric.
+
+    The `not-advertise` option, when present, prevents the summary route from
+    being advertised, effectively filtering the summarized routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D nssa [no-summary] [default-information-originate [metric-type (1-2)] [metric (0-16777214)]]
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) nssa [no-summary] [default-information-originate [metric-type (1-2)] [metric (0-16777214)]]
+
+   Configure the area to be a NSSA (Not-So-Stubby Area).
+
+   The following functionalities are implemented as per RFC 3101:
+
+   1. Advertising Type-7 LSA into NSSA area when external route is
+      redistributed into OSPFv3.
+   2. Processing Type-7 LSA received from neighbor and installing route in the
+      route table.
+   3. Support for NSSA ABR functionality which is generating Type-5 LSA when
+      backbone area is configured. Currently translation of Type-7 LSA to
+      Type-5 LSA is enabled by default.
+   4. Support for NSSA Translator functionality when there are multiple NSSA
+      ABR in an area.
+
+   An NSSA ABR can be configured with the `no-summary` option to prevent the
+   advertisement of summaries into the area. In that case, a single Type-3 LSA
+   containing a default route is originated into the NSSA.
+
+   NSSA ABRs and ASBRs can be configured with `default-information-originate`
+   option to originate a Type-7 default route into the NSSA area. In the case
+   of NSSA ASBRs, the origination of the default route is conditioned to the
+   existence of a default route in the RIB that wasn't learned via the OSPF
+   protocol.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D nssa range X:X::X:X/M [<not-advertise|cost (0-16777215)>]
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) nssa range X:X::X:X/M [<not-advertise|cost (0-16777215)>]
+
+    Summarize a group of external subnets into a single Type-7 LSA, which is
+    then translated to a Type-5 LSA and avertised to the backbone.
+    This command can only be used at the area boundary (NSSA ABR router).
+
+    By default, the metric of the summary route is calculated as the highest
+    metric among the summarized routes. The `cost` option, however, can be used
+    to set an explicit metric.
+
+    The `not-advertise` option, when present, prevents the summary route from
+    being advertised, effectively filtering the summarized routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D export-list NAME
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) export-list NAME
+
+   Filter Type-3 summary-LSAs announced to other areas originated from intra-
+   area paths from specified area.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router ospf6
+       area 0.0.0.10 export-list foo
+      !
+      ipv6 access-list foo permit 2001:db8:1000::/64
+      ipv6 access-list foo deny any
+
+   With example above any intra-area paths from area 0.0.0.10 and from range
+   2001:db8::/32 (for example 2001:db8:1::/64 and 2001:db8:2::/64) are announced
+   into other areas as Type-3 summary-LSA's, but any others (for example
+   2001:200::/48) aren't.
+
+   This command is only relevant if the router is an ABR for the specified
+   area.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D import-list NAME
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) import-list NAME
+
+   Same as export-list, but it applies to paths announced into specified area
+   as Type-3 summary-LSAs.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D filter-list prefix NAME in
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D filter-list prefix NAME out
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) filter-list prefix NAME in
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) filter-list prefix NAME out
+
+   Filtering Type-3 summary-LSAs to/from area using prefix lists. This command
+   makes sense in ABR only.
+
+.. _ospf6-interface:
+
+OSPF6 interface
+===============
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 ospf6 area <A.B.C.D|(0-4294967295)>
+
+   Enable OSPFv3 on the interface and add it to the specified area.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 ospf6 cost COST
+
+   Sets interface's output cost. Default value depends on the interface
+   bandwidth and on the auto-cost reference bandwidth.

+
+   Set explicitly network type for specified interface.
+
+OSPF6 route-map
+===============
+
+Usage of *ospfd6*'s route-map support.
+
+.. clicmd:: set metric [+|-](0-4294967295)
+
+   Set a metric for matched route when sending announcement. Use plus (+) sign
+   to add a metric value to an existing metric. Use minus (-) sign to
+   substract a metric value from an existing metric.
+
+.. _redistribute-routes-to-ospf6:
+
+Redistribute routes to OSPF6
+============================
+
+.. clicmd:: redistribute <babel|bgp|connected|isis|kernel|openfabric|ripng|sharp|static|table> [metric-type (1-2)] [metric (0-16777214)] [route-map WORD]
+
+   Redistribute routes of the specified protocol or kind into OSPFv3, with the
+   metric type and metric set if specified, filtering the routes using the
+   given route-map if specified.
+
+.. clicmd:: default-information originate [{always|metric (0-16777214)|metric-type (1-2)|route-map WORD}]
+
+   The command injects default route in the connected areas. The always
+   argument injects the default route regardless of it being present in the
+   router. Metric values and route-map can also be specified optionally.
+
+Graceful Restart
+================
+
+.. clicmd:: graceful-restart [grace-period (1-1800)]
+
+
+   Configure Graceful Restart (RFC 5187) restarting support.
+   When enabled, the default grace period is 120 seconds.
+
+   To perform a graceful shutdown, the "graceful-restart prepare ipv6 ospf"
+   EXEC-level command needs to be issued before restarting the ospf6d daemon.
+
+.. clicmd:: graceful-restart helper enable [A.B.C.D]
+
+
+   Configure Graceful Restart (RFC 5187) helper support.
+   By default, helper support is disabled for all neighbours.
+   This config enables/disables helper support on this router
+   for all neighbours.
+   To enable/disable helper support for a specific
+   neighbour, the router-id (A.B.C.D) has to be specified.
+
+.. clicmd:: graceful-restart helper strict-lsa-checking
+
+
+   If 'strict-lsa-checking' is configured then the helper will
+   abort the Graceful Restart when a LSA change occurs which
+   affects the restarting router.
+   By default 'strict-lsa-checking' is enabled"
+
+.. clicmd:: graceful-restart helper supported-grace-time (10-1800)
+
+
+   Supports as HELPER for configured grace period.
+
+.. clicmd:: graceful-restart helper planned-only
+
+
+   It helps to support as HELPER only for planned
+   restarts. By default, it supports both planned and
+   unplanned outages.
+
+.. clicmd:: graceful-restart prepare ipv6 ospf
+
+
+   Initiate a graceful restart for all OSPFv3 instances configured with the
+   "graceful-restart" command. The ospf6d daemon should be restarted during
+   the instance-specific grace period, otherwise the graceful restart will fail.
+
+   This is an EXEC-level command.
+
+
+.. _Authentication-trailer:
+
+Authentication trailer support:
+===============================
+IPv4 version of OSPF supports authentication as part of the base RFC.
+When IPv6 version of OSPF was developed there was IPSec support for IPv6,
+Hence OSPFv3(IPv6 version of OSPF) suggest to use IPSec as authentication
+and encryption mechanism. IPSec supports authentication using AH header and
+Encryption using ESP.
+
+There are few disadvantages of using IPSec with OSPFv3.
+        1. If encryption is enabled for OSPFv3 packets, then its not
+           possible to give priority to control packets.
+        2. IPSec has platform dependency and may not be supported
+           in all platforms.
+        3. It is performance intensive.
+        4. Its difficult to configure.
+
+
+Some advantages of OSPFv3 authentication trailer feature.
+        1. It provides replay protection via sequence number.
+        2. It provides IPv6 source address protection.
+        3. No platform dependency.
+        4. Easy to implement and maintain.
+
+
+This feature is support for ``RFC7166``.
+
+FRR supports MD5 and SHA256 internally and relays on openssl for other hash
+algorithms. If user wants to use only MD5 and SHA256, no special action is
+required. If user wants complete support of authentication trailer with all
+hash algorithms follow below steps.
+
+
+Installing Dependencies:
+------------------------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo apt update
+   sudo apt-get install openssl
+
+
+Compile:
+--------
+Follow normal compilation as mentioned in the build page. If you want to
+use all the hash algorithms then follow the steps mentioned in note before
+compiling.
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   If your platform supports ``openssl``, please make sure to add
+   ``--with-crypto=openssl`` to your configure options.
+   Default value is ``--with-crypto=internal``
+
+
+CLI Configuration:
+------------------
+There are two ways in which authentication trailer can be configured for
+OSPFv3. These commands are mutually exclusive, only one can be configured
+at any time.
+
+        1. Using manual key configuration.
+        2. Using keychain.

+
+OSPF Fundamentals
+=================
+
+.. index::
+   pair: Link-state routing protocol; OSPF
+   pair: Distance-vector routing protocol; OSPF
+
+
+:abbr:`OSPF` is, mostly, a link-state routing protocol. In contrast to
+:term:`distance-vector` protocols, such as :abbr:`RIP` or :abbr:`BGP`, where
+routers describe available `paths` (i.e. routes) to each other, in
+:term:`link-state` protocols routers instead describe the state of their links
+to their immediate neighbouring routers.
+
+.. index::
+   single: Link State Announcement
+   single: Link State Advertisement
+   single: LSA flooding
+   single: Link State Database
+
+
+Each router describes their link-state information in a message known as an
+:abbr:`LSA (Link State Advertisement)`, which is then propagated through to all
+other routers in a link-state routing domain, by a process called `flooding`.
+Each router thus builds up an :abbr:`LSDB (Link State Database)` of all the
+link-state messages. From this collection of LSAs in the LSDB, each router can
+then calculate the shortest path to any other router, based on some common
+metric, by using an algorithm such as
+`Edsger Dijkstra's <http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/>`_
+:abbr:`SPF (Shortest Path First)` algorithm.
+
+.. index::
+   pair: Link-state routing protocol; advantages
+
+By describing connectivity of a network in this way, in terms of
+routers and links rather than in terms of the paths through a network,
+a link-state protocol can use less bandwidth and converge more quickly
+than other protocols. A link-state protocol need distribute only one
+link-state message throughout the link-state domain when a link on any
+single given router changes state, in order for all routers to
+reconverge on the best paths through the network. In contrast, distance
+vector protocols can require a progression of different path update
+messages from a series of different routers in order to converge.
+
+.. index::
+   pair: Link-state routing protocol; disadvantages
+
+The disadvantage to a link-state protocol is that the process of
+computing the best paths can be relatively intensive when compared to
+distance-vector protocols, in which near to no computation need be done
+other than (potentially) select between multiple routes. This overhead
+is mostly negligible for modern embedded CPUs, even for networks with
+thousands of nodes. The primary scaling overhead lies more in coping
+with the ever greater frequency of LSA updates as the size of a
+link-state area increases, in managing the :abbr:`LSDB` and required
+flooding.
+
+This section aims to give a distilled, but accurate, description of the
+more important workings of :abbr:`OSPF` which an administrator may need
+to know to be able best configure and trouble-shoot :abbr:`OSPF`.
+
+OSPF Mechanisms
+---------------
+
+:abbr:`OSPF` defines a range of mechanisms, concerned with detecting,
+describing and propagating state through a network. These mechanisms
+will nearly all be covered in greater detail further on. They may be
+broadly classed as:
+
+
+.. index::
+   pair: Hello protocol; OSPF
+
+The Hello Protocol
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The OSPF Hello protocol allows OSPF to quickly detect changes in two-way
+reachability between routers on a link. OSPF can additionally avail of other
+sources of reachability information, such as link-state information provided by
+hardware, or through dedicated reachability protocols such as
+:abbr:`BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection)`.
+
+OSPF also uses the Hello protocol to propagate certain state between routers
+sharing a link, for example:
+
+- Hello protocol configured state, such as the dead-interval.
+- Router priority, for DR/BDR election.
+- DR/BDR election results.
+- Any optional capabilities supported by each router.
+
+The Hello protocol is comparatively trivial and will not be explored in more
+detail.
+
+
+.. index::
+   pair: LSA; OSPF
+
+.. _ospf-lsas:
+
+LSAs
+^^^^
+
+At the heart of :abbr:`OSPF` are :abbr:`LSA (Link State Advertisement)`
+messages. Despite the name, some :abbr:`LSA` s do not, strictly speaking,
+describe link-state information. Common :abbr:`LSA` s describe information
+such as:
+
+- Routers, in terms of their links.
+- Networks, in terms of attached routers.
+- Routes, external to a link-state domain:
+
+  External Routes
+     Routes entirely external to :abbr:`OSPF`. Routers originating such
+     routes are known as :abbr:`ASBR (Autonomous-System Border Router)`
+     routers.
+
+  Summary Routes
+     Routes which summarise routing information relating to OSPF areas
+     external to the OSPF link-state area at hand, originated by
+     :abbr:`ABR (Area Boundary Router)` routers.
+
+.. _ospf-lsa-flooding:
+
+LSA Flooding
+""""""""""""
+
+OSPF defines several related mechanisms, used to manage synchronisation of
+:abbr:`LSDB` s between neighbours as neighbours form adjacencies and the
+propagation, or `flooding` of new or updated :abbr:`LSA` s.
+
+
+.. index::
+   pair: Area; OSPF
+
+.. _ospf-areas:
+
+Areas
+^^^^^
+
+OSPF provides for the protocol to be broken up into multiple smaller and
+independent link-state areas. Each area must be connected to a common backbone
+area by an :abbr:`ABR (Area Boundary Router)`. These :abbr:`ABR` routers are
+responsible for summarising the link-state routing information of an area into
+`Summary LSAs`, possibly in a condensed (i.e. aggregated) form, and then
+originating these summaries into all other areas the :abbr:`ABR` is connected
+to.
+
+Note that only summaries and external routes are passed between areas.  As
+these describe *paths*, rather than any router link-states, routing between
+areas hence is by :term:`distance-vector`, **not** link-state.
+
+OSPF LSAs
+---------
+
+The core objects in OSPF are :abbr:`LSA` s. Everything else in OSPF revolves
+around detecting what to describe in LSAs, when to update them, how to flood
+them throughout a network and how to calculate routes from them.
+
+There are a variety of different :abbr:`LSA` s, for purposes such as describing
+actual link-state information, describing paths (i.e.  routes), describing
+bandwidth usage of links for :abbr:`TE (Traffic Engineering)` purposes, and
+even arbitrary data by way of *Opaque* :abbr:`LSA` s.
+
+LSA Header
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+All LSAs share a common header with the following information:
+
+- Type
+
+  Different types of :abbr:`LSA` s describe different things in
+  :abbr:`OSPF`. Types include:
+
+  - Router LSA
+  - Network LSA
+  - Network Summary LSA
+  - Router Summary LSA
+  - AS-External LSA
+
+  The specifics of the different types of LSA are examined below.
+
+- Advertising Router
+
+  The Router ID of the router originating the LSA.
+
+.. seealso::
+
+   :clicmd:`ospf router-id A.B.C.D`.
+
+- LSA ID
+
+  The ID of the LSA, which is typically derived in some way from the
+  information the LSA describes, e.g. a Router LSA uses the Router ID as
+  the LSA ID, a Network LSA will have the IP address of the :abbr:`DR`
+  as its LSA ID.
+
+  The combination of the Type, ID and Advertising Router ID must uniquely
+  identify the :abbr:`LSA`. There can however be multiple instances of
+  an LSA with the same Type, LSA ID and Advertising Router ID, see
+  :ref:`sequence number <ospf-lsa-sequence-number>`.
+
+- Age
+
+  A number to allow stale :abbr:`LSA` s to, eventually, be purged by routers
+  from their :abbr:`LSDB` s.
+
+  The value nominally is one of seconds. An age of 3600, i.e. 1 hour, is
+  called the `MaxAge`. MaxAge LSAs are ignored in routing
+  calculations. LSAs must be periodically refreshed by their Advertising
+  Router before reaching MaxAge if they are to remain valid.
+
+  Routers may deliberately flood LSAs with the age artificially set to
+  3600 to indicate an LSA is no longer valid. This is called
+  `flushing` of an LSA.
+
+  It is not abnormal to see stale LSAs in the LSDB, this can occur where
+  a router has shutdown without flushing its LSA(s), e.g. where it has
+  become disconnected from the network. Such LSAs do little harm.
+
+.. _ospf-lsa-sequence-number:
+
+- Sequence Number
+
+  A number used to distinguish newer instances of an LSA from older instances.
+
+Link-State LSAs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Of all the various kinds of :abbr:`LSA` s, just two types comprise the
+actual link-state part of :abbr:`OSPF`, Router :abbr:`LSA` s and
+Network :abbr:`LSA` s. These LSA types are absolutely core to the
+protocol.
+
+Instances of these LSAs are specific to the link-state area in which
+they are originated. Routes calculated from these two LSA types are
+called `intra-area routes`.
+
+- Router LSA
+
+  Each OSPF Router must originate a router :abbr:`LSA` to describe
+  itself. In it, the router lists each of its :abbr:`OSPF` enabled
+  interfaces, for the given link-state area, in terms of:
+
+  Cost
+     The output cost of that interface, scaled inversely to some commonly known
+     reference value, :clicmd:`auto-cost reference-bandwidth (1-4294967)`.
+
+  Link Type
+     Transit Network
+
+     A link to a multi-access network, on which the router has at least one
+     Full adjacency with another router.
+
+  :abbr:`PtP (Point-to-Point)`
+     A link to a single remote router, with a Full adjacency. No
+     :abbr:`DR (Designated Router)` is elected on such links; no network
+     LSA is originated for such a link.
+
+     Stub
+        A link with no adjacent neighbours, or a host route.
+
+  - Link ID and Data
+
+    These values depend on the Link Type:
+
+    +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+    | Link Type      | Link ID                           | Link Data                                |
+    +================+===================================+==========================================+
+    | Transit        | Link IP address of the :abbr:`DR` | Interface IP address                     |
+    +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+    | Point-to-Point | Router ID of the remote router    | Local interface IP address, or the       |
+    |                |                                   | :abbr:`ifindex (MIB-II interface index)` |
+    |                |                                   | for unnumbered links                     |
+    +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+    | Stub           | IP address                        | Subnet Mask                              |
+    +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
+
+    Links on a router may be listed multiple times in the Router LSA, e.g.  a
+    :abbr:`PtP` interface on which OSPF is enabled must *always* be described
+    by a Stub link in the Router :abbr:`LSA`, in addition to being listed as
+    PtP link in the Router :abbr:`LSA` if the adjacency with the remote router
+    is Full.
+
+    Stub links may also be used as a way to describe links on which OSPF is
+    *not* spoken, known as `passive interfaces`, see
+    :clicmd:`ip ospf passive [A.B.C.D]`.
+
+- Network LSA
+
+  On multi-access links (e.g. ethernets, certain kinds of ATM and X.25
+  configurations), routers elect a :abbr:`DR`. The :abbr:`DR` is
+  responsible for originating a Network :abbr:`LSA`, which helps reduce
+  the information needed to describe multi-access networks with multiple
+  routers attached. The :abbr:`DR` also acts as a hub for the flooding of
+  :abbr:`LSA` s on that link, thus reducing flooding overheads.
+
+  The contents of the Network LSA describes the:
+
+  - Subnet Mask
+
+    As the :abbr:`LSA` ID of a Network LSA must be the IP address of the
+    :abbr:`DR`, the Subnet Mask together with the :abbr:`LSA` ID gives
+    you the network address.
+
+  - Attached Routers
+
+    Each router fully-adjacent with the :abbr:`DR` is listed in the LSA,
+    by their Router-ID. This allows the corresponding Router :abbr:`LSA` s to be
+    easily retrieved from the :abbr:`LSDB`.
+
+Summary of Link State LSAs:
+
++-------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
+| LSA Type    | LSA ID                     | LSA Data Describes                         |
++=============+============================+============================================+
+| Router LSA  | Router ID                  | The :abbr:`OSPF` enabled links of the      |
+|             |                            | router, within a specific link-state area. |
++-------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
+| Network LSA | The IP address of the      | The subnet mask of the network and the     |
+|             | :abbr:`DR` for the network | Router IDs of all routers on the network   |
++-------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
+
+With an LSDB composed of just these two types of :abbr:`LSA`, it is
+possible to construct a directed graph of the connectivity between all
+routers and networks in a given OSPF link-state area. So, not
+surprisingly, when OSPF routers build updated routing tables, the first
+stage of :abbr:`SPF` calculation concerns itself only with these two
+LSA types.

+Link-State LSA Examples

+
+The example below shows two :abbr:`LSA` s, both originated by the same router
+(Router ID 192.168.0.49) and with the same :abbr:`LSA` ID (192.168.0.49), but
+of different LSA types.
+
+The first LSA being the router LSA describing 192.168.0.49's links: 2 links
+to multi-access networks with fully-adjacent neighbours (i.e. Transit
+links) and 1 being a Stub link (no adjacent neighbours).
+
+The second LSA being a Network LSA, for which 192.168.0.49 is the
+:abbr:`DR`, listing the Router IDs of 4 routers on that network which
+are fully adjacent with 192.168.0.49.

+
+
+Note that from one LSA, you can find the other. E.g. Given the
+Network-LSA you have a list of Router IDs on that network, from which
+you can then look up, in the local :abbr:`LSDB`, the matching Router
+LSA. From that Router-LSA you may (potentially) find links to other
+Transit networks and Routers IDs which can be used to lookup the
+corresponding Router or Network LSA. And in that fashion, one can find
+all the Routers and Networks reachable from that starting :abbr:`LSA`.
+
+Given the Router LSA instead, you have the IP address of the
+:abbr:`DR` of any attached transit links. Network LSAs will have that IP
+as their LSA ID, so you can then look up that Network LSA and from that
+find all the attached routers on that link, leading potentially to more
+links and Network and Router LSAs, etc. etc.
+
+From just the above two :abbr:`LSA` s, one can already see the
+following partial topology:
+
+::
+
+   ------------------------ Network: ......

+               |

+   ------------------------------ Network: 192.168.0.48/29
+     |        |           |       Designated Router IP: 192.168.0.49

+     |   Router ID: 192.168.0.53
+     |
+   Router ID: 192.168.0.52
+
+
+Note the Router IDs, though they look like IP addresses and often are
+IP addresses, are not strictly speaking IP addresses, nor need they be
+reachable addresses (though, OSPF will calculate routes to Router IDs).
+
+External LSAs
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+External, or "Type 5", :abbr:`LSA` s describe routing information which is
+entirely external to :abbr:`OSPF`, and is "injected" into
+:abbr:`OSPF`. Such routing information may have come from another
+routing protocol, such as RIP or BGP, they may represent static routes
+or they may represent a default route.
+
+An :abbr:`OSPF` router which originates External :abbr:`LSA` s is known as an
+:abbr:`ASBR (AS Boundary Router)`. Unlike the link-state :abbr:`LSA` s, and
+most other :abbr:`LSA` s, which are flooded only within the area in
+which they originate, External :abbr:`LSA` s are flooded through-out
+the :abbr:`OSPF` network to all areas capable of carrying External
+:abbr:`LSA` s (:ref:`ospf-areas`).
+
+Routes internal to OSPF (intra-area or inter-area) are always preferred
+over external routes.
+
+The External :abbr:`LSA` describes the following:
+
+IP Network number
+   The IP Network number of the route is described by the :abbr:`LSA` ID field.
+
+IP Network Mask
+   The body of the External LSA describes the IP Network Mask of the route.
+   This, together with the :abbr:`LSA` ID, describes the prefix of the IP route
+   concerned.
+
+Metric
+   The cost of the External Route. This cost may be an OSPF cost (also known as
+   a "Type 1" metric), i.e. equivalent to the normal OSPF costs, or an
+   externally derived cost ("Type 2" metric) which is not comparable to OSPF
+   costs and always considered larger than any OSPF cost. Where there are both
+   Type 1 and 2 External routes for a route, the Type 1 is always preferred.
+
+Forwarding Address
+   The address of the router to forward packets to for the route. This may be,
+   and usually is, left as 0 to specify that the ASBR originating the External
+   :abbr:`LSA` should be used. There must be an internal OSPF route to the
+   forwarding address, for the forwarding address to be usable.

+
+AS External LSA Example
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To illustrate, below is an example of an External :abbr:`LSA` in the
+:abbr:`LSDB` of an OSPF router. It describes a route to the IP prefix of
+192.168.165.0/24, originated by the ASBR with Router-ID 192.168.0.49. The
+metric of 20 is external to OSPF. The forwarding address is 0, so the route
+should forward to the originating ASBR if selected.
+
+::
+
+   # show ip ospf database external 192.168.165.0
+     LS age: 995
+     Options: 0x2  : *|-|-|-|-|-|E|*
+     LS Flags: 0x9
+     LS Type: AS-external-LSA
+     Link State ID: 192.168.165.0 (External Network Number)
+     Advertising Router: 192.168.0.49
+     LS Seq Number: 800001d8
+     Checksum: 0xea27
+     Length: 36
+     Network Mask: /24
+           Metric Type: 2 (Larger than any link state path)
+           TOS: 0
+           Metric: 20
+           Forward Address: 0.0.0.0
+           External Route Tag: 0
+
+
+We can add this to our partial topology from above, which now looks
+like:::

+OSPFv2
+******
+
+:abbr:`OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)` version 2 is a routing protocol which
+is described in :rfc:`2328`. OSPF is an :abbr:`IGP (Interior Gateway
+Protocol)`. Compared with :abbr:`RIP`, :abbr:`OSPF` can provide scalable
+network support and faster convergence times. OSPF is widely used in large
+networks such as :abbr:`ISP (Internet Service Provider)` backbone and
+enterprise networks.
+
+.. include:: ospf_fundamentals.rst
+
+.. _configuring-ospfd:
+
+Configuring OSPF
+================
+
+*ospfd* accepts all :ref:`common-invocation-options`.
+
+.. option:: -n, --instance
+
+   Specify the instance number for this invocation of *ospfd*.
+
+.. option:: -a, --apiserver
+
+   Enable the OSPF API server. This is required to use ``ospfclient``.
+
+*ospfd* must acquire interface information from *zebra* in order to function.
+Therefore *zebra* must be running before invoking *ospfd*. Also, if *zebra* is
+restarted then *ospfd* must be too.
+
+Like other daemons, *ospfd* configuration is done in :abbr:`OSPF` specific
+configuration file :file:`ospfd.conf` when the integrated config is not used.
+
+.. _ospf-multi-instance:
+
+Multi-instance Support
+----------------------
+
+OSPF supports multiple instances. Each instance is identified by a positive
+nonzero integer that must be provided when adding configuration items specific
+to that instance. Enabling instances is done with :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` in
+the following manner:
+
+::
+
+   ...
+   ospfd=yes
+   ospfd_instances=1,5,6
+   ...
+
+The ``ospfd_instances`` variable controls which instances are started and what
+their IDs are. In this example, after starting FRR you should see the following
+processes:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   # ps -ef | grep "ospfd"
+   frr      11816     1  0 17:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/frr/ospfd --daemon -A 127.0.0.1 -n 1
+   frr      11822     1  0 17:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/frr/ospfd --daemon -A 127.0.0.1 -n 2
+   frr      11828     1  0 17:30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/frr/ospfd --daemon -A 127.0.0.1 -n 3
+
+
+The instance number should be specified in the config when addressing a particular instance:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router ospf 5
+      ospf router-id 1.2.3.4
+      area 0.0.0.0 authentication message-digest
+      ...
+
+.. _ospf-router:
+
+Routers
+-------
+
+To start OSPF process you have to specify the OSPF router.
+
+.. clicmd:: router ospf [{(1-65535)|vrf NAME}]
+
+
+   Enable or disable the OSPF process.
+
+   Multiple instances don't support `vrf NAME`.
+
+.. clicmd:: ospf router-id A.B.C.D
+
+
+   This sets the router-ID of the OSPF process. The router-ID may be an IP
+   address of the router, but need not be - it can be any arbitrary 32bit
+   number. However it MUST be unique within the entire OSPF domain to the OSPF
+   speaker - bad things will happen if multiple OSPF speakers are configured
+   with the same router-ID! If one is not specified then *ospfd* will obtain a
+   router-ID automatically from *zebra*.
+
+.. clicmd:: ospf abr-type TYPE
+
+
+   `type` can be cisco|ibm|shortcut|standard. The "Cisco" and "IBM" types
+   are equivalent.
+
+   The OSPF standard for ABR behaviour does not allow an ABR to consider
+   routes through non-backbone areas when its links to the backbone are
+   down, even when there are other ABRs in attached non-backbone areas
+   which still can reach the backbone - this restriction exists primarily
+   to ensure routing-loops are avoided.
+
+   With the "Cisco" or "IBM" ABR type, the default in this release of FRR, this
+   restriction is lifted, allowing an ABR to consider summaries learned from
+   other ABRs through non-backbone areas, and hence route via non-backbone
+   areas as a last resort when, and only when, backbone links are down.
+
+   Note that areas with fully-adjacent virtual-links are considered to be
+   "transit capable" and can always be used to route backbone traffic, and
+   hence are unaffected by this setting (:clicmd:`area A.B.C.D virtual-link A.B.C.D`).
+
+   More information regarding the behaviour controlled by this command can
+   be found in :rfc:`3509`, and :t:`draft-ietf-ospf-shortcut-abr-02.txt`.
+
+   Quote: "Though the definition of the :abbr:`ABR (Area Border Router)`
+   in the OSPF specification does not require a router with multiple
+   attached areas to have a backbone connection, it is actually
+   necessary to provide successful routing to the inter-area and
+   external destinations. If this requirement is not met, all traffic
+   destined for the areas not connected to such an ABR or out of the
+   OSPF domain, is dropped. This document describes alternative ABR
+   behaviors implemented in Cisco and IBM routers."
+
+.. clicmd:: ospf rfc1583compatibility
+
+
+   :rfc:`2328`, the successor to :rfc:`1583`, suggests according
+   to section G.2 (changes) in section 16.4 a change to the path
+   preference algorithm that prevents possible routing loops that were
+   possible in the old version of OSPFv2. More specifically it demands
+   that inter-area paths and intra-area backbone path are now of equal preference
+   but still both preferred to external paths.
+
+   This command should NOT be set normally.
+
+.. clicmd:: log-adjacency-changes [detail]
+
+
+   Configures ospfd to log changes in adjacency. With the optional
+   detail argument, all changes in adjacency status are shown. Without detail,
+   only changes to full or regressions are shown.
+
+.. clicmd:: passive-interface default
+
+   Make all interfaces that belong to this router passive by default. For the
+   description of passive interface look at :clicmd:`ip ospf passive [A.B.C.D]`.
+   Per-interface configuration takes precedence over the default value.
+
+.. clicmd:: timers throttle spf (0-600000) (0-600000) (0-600000)
+
+   This command sets the initial `delay`, the `initial-holdtime`
+   and the `maximum-holdtime` between when SPF is calculated and the
+   event which triggered the calculation. The times are specified in
+   milliseconds and must be in the range of 0 to 600000 milliseconds.
+
+   The `delay` specifies the minimum amount of time to delay SPF
+   calculation (hence it affects how long SPF calculation is delayed after
+   an event which occurs outside of the holdtime of any previous SPF
+   calculation, and also serves as a minimum holdtime).
+
+   Consecutive SPF calculations will always be separated by at least
+   'hold-time' milliseconds. The hold-time is adaptive and initially is
+   set to the `initial-holdtime` configured with the above command.
+   Events which occur within the holdtime of the previous SPF calculation
+   will cause the holdtime to be increased by `initial-holdtime`, bounded
+   by the `maximum-holdtime` configured with this command. If the adaptive
+   hold-time elapses without any SPF-triggering event occurring then
+   the current holdtime is reset to the `initial-holdtime`. The current
+   holdtime can be viewed with :clicmd:`show ip ospf`, where it is expressed as
+   a multiplier of the `initial-holdtime`.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router ospf
+      timers throttle spf 200 400 10000
+
+
+   In this example, the `delay` is set to 200ms, the initial holdtime is set to
+   400ms and the `maximum holdtime` to 10s. Hence there will always be at least
+   200ms between an event which requires SPF calculation and the actual SPF
+   calculation. Further consecutive SPF calculations will always be separated
+   by between 400ms to 10s, the hold-time increasing by 400ms each time an
+   SPF-triggering event occurs within the hold-time of the previous SPF
+   calculation.
+
+   This command supersedes the *timers spf* command in previous FRR
+   releases.
+
+.. clicmd:: max-metric router-lsa [on-startup|on-shutdown] (5-86400)
+
+.. clicmd:: max-metric router-lsa administrative
+
+
+   This enables :rfc:`3137` support, where the OSPF process describes its
+   transit links in its router-LSA as having infinite distance so that other
+   routers will avoid calculating transit paths through the router while still
+   being able to reach networks through the router.
+
+   This support may be enabled administratively (and indefinitely) or
+   conditionally. Conditional enabling of max-metric router-lsas can be for a
+   period of seconds after startup and/or for a period of seconds prior to
+   shutdown.
+
+   Enabling this for a period after startup allows OSPF to converge fully first
+   without affecting any existing routes used by other routers, while still
+   allowing any connected stub links and/or redistributed routes to be
+   reachable. Enabling this for a period of time in advance of shutdown allows
+   the router to gracefully excuse itself from the OSPF domain.
+
+   Enabling this feature administratively allows for administrative
+   intervention for whatever reason, for an indefinite period of time.  Note
+   that if the configuration is written to file, this administrative form of
+   the stub-router command will also be written to file. If *ospfd* is
+   restarted later, the command will then take effect until manually
+   deconfigured.
+
+   Configured state of this feature as well as current status, such as the
+   number of second remaining till on-startup or on-shutdown ends, can be
+   viewed with the :clicmd:`show ip ospf` command.
+
+.. clicmd:: auto-cost reference-bandwidth (1-4294967)
+
+
+   This sets the reference
+   bandwidth for cost calculations, where this bandwidth is considered
+   equivalent to an OSPF cost of 1, specified in Mbits/s. The default is
+   100Mbit/s (i.e. a link of bandwidth 100Mbit/s or higher will have a
+   cost of 1. Cost of lower bandwidth links will be scaled with reference
+   to this cost).
+
+   This configuration setting MUST be consistent across all routers within the
+   OSPF domain.
+
+.. clicmd:: network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D
+
+.. clicmd:: network A.B.C.D/M area (0-4294967295)
+
+
+
+   This command specifies the OSPF enabled interface(s). If the interface has
+   an address from range 192.168.1.0/24 then the command below enables ospf
+   on this interface so router can provide network information to the other
+   ospf routers via this interface.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router ospf
+      network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0
+
+   Prefix length in interface must be equal or bigger (i.e. smaller network) than
+   prefix length in network statement. For example statement above doesn't enable
+   ospf on interface with address 192.168.1.1/23, but it does on interface with
+   address 192.168.1.129/25.
+
+   Note that the behavior when there is a peer address
+   defined on an interface changed after release 0.99.7.
+   Currently, if a peer prefix has been configured,
+   then we test whether the prefix in the network command contains
+   the destination prefix. Otherwise, we test whether the network command prefix
+   contains the local address prefix of the interface.
+
+   It is also possible to enable OSPF on a per interface/subnet basis
+   using the interface command (:clicmd:`ip ospf area AREA [ADDR]`).
+   However, mixing both network commands (:clicmd:`network`) and interface
+   commands (:clicmd:`ip ospf`) on the same router is not supported.
+
+.. clicmd:: proactive-arp
+
+
+   This command enables or disables sending ARP requests to update neighbor
+   table entries. It speeds up convergence for /32 networks on a P2P
+   connection.
+
+   This feature is enabled by default.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear ip ospf [(1-65535)] process
+
+   This command can be used to clear the ospf process data structures. This
+   will clear the ospf neighborship as well and it will get re-established.
+   This will clear the LSDB too. This will be helpful when there is a change
+   in router-id and if user wants the router-id change to take effect, user can
+   use this cli instead of restarting the ospfd daemon.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear ip ospf [(1-65535)] neighbor
+
+   This command can be used to clear the ospf neighbor data structures. This
+   will clear the ospf neighborship and it will get re-established. This
+   command can be used when the neighbor state get stuck at some state and
+   this can be used to recover it from that state.
+
+.. clicmd:: maximum-paths (1-64)
+
+   Use this command to control the maximum number of equal cost paths to reach
+   a specific destination. The upper limit may differ if you change the value
+   of MULTIPATH_NUM during compilation. The default is MULTIPATH_NUM (64).
+
+.. clicmd:: write-multiplier (1-100)
+
+   Use this command to tune the amount of work done in the packet read and
+   write threads before relinquishing control. The parameter is the number
+   of packets to process before returning. The defult value of this parameter
+   is 20.

+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D range A.B.C.D/M [advertise [cost (0-16777215)]]
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) range A.B.C.D/M [advertise [cost (0-16777215)]]
+
+
+
+   Summarize intra area paths from specified area into one Type-3 summary-LSA
+   announced to other areas. This command can be used only in ABR and ONLY
+   router-LSAs (Type-1) and network-LSAs (Type-2) (i.e. LSAs with scope area) can
+   be summarized. Type-5 AS-external-LSAs can't be summarized - their scope is AS.
+   Summarizing Type-7 AS-external-LSAs isn't supported yet by FRR.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router ospf
+       network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0
+       network 10.0.0.0/8 area 0.0.0.10
+       area 0.0.0.10 range 10.0.0.0/8
+
+
+   With configuration above one Type-3 Summary-LSA with routing info 10.0.0.0/8 is
+   announced into backbone area if area 0.0.0.10 contains at least one intra-area
+   network (i.e. described with router or network LSA) from this range.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D range A.B.C.D/M not-advertise
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) range A.B.C.D/M not-advertise
+
+
+   Instead of summarizing intra area paths filter them - i.e. intra area paths from this
+   range are not advertised into other areas.
+   This command makes sense in ABR only.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D range A.B.C.D/M {substitute A.B.C.D/M|cost (0-16777215)}
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) range A.B.C.D/M {substitute A.B.C.D/M|cost (0-16777215)}
+
+
+   Substitute summarized prefix with another prefix.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      router ospf
+       network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0
+       network 10.0.0.0/8 area 0.0.0.10
+       area 0.0.0.10 range 10.0.0.0/8 substitute 11.0.0.0/8
+
+
+   One Type-3 summary-LSA with routing info 11.0.0.0/8 is announced into backbone area if
+   area 0.0.0.10 contains at least one intra-area network (i.e. described with router-LSA or
+   network-LSA) from range 10.0.0.0/8.
+
+   By default, the metric of the summary route is calculated as the highest
+   metric among the summarized routes. The `cost` option, however, can be used
+   to set an explicit metric.
+
+   This command makes sense in ABR only.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D virtual-link A.B.C.D
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) virtual-link A.B.C.D
+
+
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D shortcut
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) shortcut
+
+
+
+   Configure the area as Shortcut capable. See :rfc:`3509`. This requires
+   that the 'abr-type' be set to 'shortcut'.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D stub
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) stub
+
+
+
+   Configure the area to be a stub area. That is, an area where no router
+   originates routes external to OSPF and hence an area where all external
+   routes are via the ABR(s). Hence, ABRs for such an area do not need
+   to pass AS-External LSAs (type-5s) or ASBR-Summary LSAs (type-4) into the
+   area. They need only pass Network-Summary (type-3) LSAs into such an area,
+   along with a default-route summary.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D stub no-summary
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) stub no-summary
+
+
+
+    Prevents an *ospfd* ABR from injecting inter-area
+    summaries into the specified stub area.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D nssa
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) nssa
+
+    Configure the area to be a NSSA (Not-So-Stubby Area). This is an area that
+    allows OSPF to import external routes into a stub area via a new LSA type
+    (type 7). An NSSA autonomous system boundary router (ASBR) will generate this
+    type of LSA. The area border router (ABR) translates the LSA type 7 into LSA
+    type 5, which is propagated into the OSPF domain. NSSA areas are defined in
+    RFC 3101.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D nssa suppress-fa
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) nssa suppress-fa
+
+    Configure the router to set the forwarding address to 0.0.0.0 in all LSA type 5
+    translated from LSA type 7. The router needs to be elected the translator of the
+    area for this command to take effect. This feature causes routers that are
+    configured not to advertise forwarding addresses into the backbone to direct
+    forwarded traffic to the NSSA ABR translator.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D default-cost (0-16777215)
+
+
+   Set the cost of default-summary LSAs announced to stubby areas.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D export-list NAME
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) export-list NAME

+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D authentication
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) authentication
+
+
+
+   Specify that simple password authentication should be used for the given
+   area.
+
+.. clicmd:: area A.B.C.D authentication message-digest
+
+.. clicmd:: area (0-4294967295) authentication message-digest
+
+   Specify that OSPF packets must be authenticated with MD5 HMACs within the
+   given area. Keying material must also be configured on a per-interface basis
+   (:clicmd:`ip ospf message-digest-key`).
+
+   MD5 authentication may also be configured on a per-interface basis
+   (:clicmd:`ip ospf authentication message-digest`). Such per-interface
+   settings will override any per-area authentication setting.
+
+.. _ospf-interface:
+
+Interfaces
+----------
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf area AREA [ADDR]
+
+
+   Enable OSPF on the interface, optionally restricted to just the IP address
+   given by `ADDR`, putting it in the `AREA` area. If you have a lot of
+   interfaces, and/or a lot of subnets, then enabling OSPF via this command
+   instead of (:clicmd:`network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D`) may result in a
+   slight performance improvement.
+
+   Notice that, mixing both network commands (:clicmd:`network`) and interface
+   commands (:clicmd:`ip ospf`) on the same router is not supported.
+   If (:clicmd:`ip ospf`) is present, (:clicmd:`network`) commands will fail.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf authentication-key AUTH_KEY
+
+
+   Set OSPF authentication key to a simple password. After setting `AUTH_KEY`,
+   all OSPF packets are authenticated. `AUTH_KEY` has length up to 8 chars.
+
+   Simple text password authentication is insecure and deprecated in favour of
+   MD5 HMAC authentication.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf authentication message-digest
+
+   Specify that MD5 HMAC authentication must be used on this interface. MD5
+   keying material must also be configured. Overrides any authentication
+   enabled on a per-area basis
+   (:clicmd:`area A.B.C.D authentication message-digest`)
+
+   Note that OSPF MD5 authentication requires that time never go backwards
+   (correct time is NOT important, only that it never goes backwards), even
+   across resets, if ospfd is to be able to promptly reestablish adjacencies
+   with its neighbours after restarts/reboots. The host should have system time
+   be set at boot from an external or non-volatile source (e.g. battery backed
+   clock, NTP, etc.) or else the system clock should be periodically saved to
+   non-volatile storage and restored at boot if MD5 authentication is to be
+   expected to work reliably.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf message-digest-key KEYID md5 KEY
+
+
+   Set OSPF authentication key to a cryptographic password. The cryptographic
+   algorithm is MD5.
+
+   KEYID identifies secret key used to create the message digest. This ID is
+   part of the protocol and must be consistent across routers on a link.
+
+   KEY is the actual message digest key, of up to 16 chars (larger strings will
+   be truncated), and is associated with the given KEYID.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf cost (1-65535)
+
+
+   Set link cost for the specified interface. The cost value is set to
+   router-LSA's metric field and used for SPF calculation.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf dead-interval (1-65535)
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier (2-20)
+
+
+   Set number of seconds for RouterDeadInterval timer value used for Wait Timer
+   and Inactivity Timer. This value must be the same for all routers attached
+   to a common network. The default value is 40 seconds.
+
+   If 'minimal' is specified instead, then the dead-interval is set to 1 second
+   and one must specify a hello-multiplier. The hello-multiplier specifies how
+   many Hellos to send per second, from 2 (every 500ms) to 20 (every 50ms).
+   Thus one can have 1s convergence time for OSPF. If this form is specified,
+   then the hello-interval advertised in Hello packets is set to 0 and the
+   hello-interval on received Hello packets is not checked, thus the
+   hello-multiplier need NOT be the same across multiple routers on a common
+   link.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf hello-interval (1-65535)
+
+
+   Set number of seconds for HelloInterval timer value. Setting this value,
+   Hello packet will be sent every timer value seconds on the specified interface.
+   This value must be the same for all routers attached to a common network.
+   The default value is 10 seconds.
+
+   This command has no effect if
+   :clicmd:`ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier (2-20)` is also
+   specified for the interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf network (broadcast|non-broadcast|point-to-multipoint|point-to-point [dmvpn])
+
+   When configuring a point-to-point network on an interface and the interface
+   has a /32 address associated with then OSPF will treat the interface
+   as being `unnumbered`.  If you are doing this you *must* set the
+   net.ipv4.conf.<interface name>.rp_filter value to 0.  In order for
+   the ospf multicast packets to be delivered by the kernel.
+
+   When used in a DMVPN network at a spoke, this OSPF will be configured in
+   point-to-point, but the HUB will be a point-to-multipoint. To make this
+   topology work, specify the optional 'dmvpn' parameter at the spoke.
+
+   Set explicitly network type for specified interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf priority (0-255)
+
+
+   Set RouterPriority integer value. The router with the highest priority will
+   be more eligible to become Designated Router. Setting the value to 0, makes
+   the router ineligible to become Designated Router. The default value is 1.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf retransmit-interval (1-65535)
+
+
+   Set number of seconds for RxmtInterval timer value. This value is used when
+   retransmitting Database Description and Link State Request packets. The
+   default value is 5 seconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf transmit-delay (1-65535) [A.B.C.D]
+
+
+   Set number of seconds for InfTransDelay value. LSAs' age should be
+   incremented by this value when transmitting. The default value is 1 second.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf passive [A.B.C.D]
+
+   Do not speak OSPF on the interface, but do advertise the interface as a stub
+   link in the router-:abbr:`LSA (Link State Advertisement)` for this router.
+   This allows one to advertise addresses on such connected interfaces without
+   having to originate AS-External/Type-5 LSAs (which have global flooding
+   scope) - as would occur if connected addresses were redistributed into
+   OSPF (:ref:`redistribute-routes-to-ospf`). This is the only way to
+   advertise non-OSPF links into stub areas.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip ospf area (A.B.C.D|(0-4294967295))
+
+
+   Enable ospf on an interface and set associated area.

+
+
+   Configure Graceful Restart (RFC 3623) restarting support.
+   When enabled, the default grace period is 120 seconds.
+

+Overview
+********
+
+`FRR`_ is a fully featured, high performance, free software IP routing suite.
+
+FRR implements all standard routing protocols such as BGP, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS and
+more (see :ref:`feature-matrix`), as well as many of their extensions.
+
+FRR is a high performance suite written primarily in C. It can easily handle
+full Internet routing tables and is suitable for use on hardware ranging from
+cheap SBCs to commercial grade routers. It is actively used in production by
+hundreds of companies, universities, research labs and governments.
+
+FRR is distributed under GPLv2, with development modeled after the Linux
+kernel. Anyone may contribute features, bug fixes, tools, documentation
+updates, or anything else.
+
+FRR is a fork of `Quagga <http://www.quagga.net/>`_.
+
+.. _how-to-get-frr:
+
+How to get FRR
+==============
+
+The official FRR website is located at |PACKAGE_URL| and contains further
+information, as well as links to additional resources.
+
+Several distributions provide packages for FRR. Check your distribution's
+repositories to find out if a suitable version is available.
+
+Up-to-date Debian & Redhat packages are available at https://deb.frrouting.org/
+& https://rpm.frrouting.org/ respectively.
+
+For instructions on installing from source, refer to the
+`developer documentation <http://docs.frrouting.org/projects/dev-guide/en/latest/>`_.
+
+
+.. _about-frr:
+
+About FRR
+=========
+
+FRR provides IP routing services. Its role in a networking stack is to exchange
+routing information with other routers, make routing and policy decisions, and
+inform other layers of these decisions. In the most common scenario, FRR
+installs routing decisions into the OS kernel, allowing the kernel networking
+stack to make the corresponding forwarding decisions.
+
+In addition to dynamic routing FRR supports the full range of L3 configuration,
+including static routes, addresses, router advertisements etc. It has some
+light L2 functionality as well, but this is mostly left to the platform. This
+makes it suitable for deployments ranging from small home networks with static
+routes to Internet exchanges running full Internet tables.
+
+FRR runs on all modern \*NIX operating systems, including Linux and the BSDs.
+Feature support varies by platform; see the :ref:`feature-matrix`.
+
+System Requirements
+-------------------
+
+System resources needed by FRR are highly dependent on workload. Routing
+software performance is particularly susceptible to external factors such as:
+
+* Kernel networking stack
+* Physical NIC
+* Peer behavior
+* Routing information scale
+
+Because of these factors - especially the last one - it's difficult to lay out
+resource requirements.
+
+To put this in perspective, FRR can be run on very low resource systems such as
+SBCs, provided it is not stressed too much. If you want to set up 4 Raspberry
+Pis to play with BGP or OSPF, it should work fine. If you ask a FRR to process
+a complete internet routing table on a Raspberry Pi, you will be disappointed.
+However, given enough resources, FRR ought to be capable of acting as a core IX
+router. Such a use case requires at least 4gb of memory and a recent quad-core
+server processor at a minimum.
+
+If you are new to networking, an important thing to remember is that FRR is
+control plane software. It does not itself forward packets - it exchanges
+information with peers about how to forward packets. Forwarding plane
+performance largely depends on choice of NIC / ASIC.
+
+
+System Architecture
+-------------------
+
+.. index::
+   pair: architecture; FRR
+
+Traditional routing software is made as a one process program which provides
+all of the routing protocol functionalities. FRR takes a different approach.
+FRR is a suite of daemons that work together to build the routing table. Each
+major protocol is implemented in its own daemon, and these daemons talk to a
+middleman daemon (*zebra*), which is responsible for coordinating routing
+decisions and talking to the dataplane.
+
+This architecture allows for high resiliency, since an error, crash or exploit
+in one protocol daemon will generally not affect the others. It is also
+flexible and extensible since the modularity makes it easy to implement new
+protocols and tie them into the suite. Additionally, each daemon implements a
+plugin system allowing new functionality to be loaded at runtime.
+
+An illustration of the large scale architecture is given below.

+
+
+All of the FRR daemons can be managed through a single integrated user
+interface shell called *vtysh*. *vtysh* connects to each daemon through a UNIX
+domain socket and then works as a proxy for user input. In addition to a
+unified frontend, *vtysh* also provides the ability to configure all the
+daemons using a single configuration file through the integrated configuration
+mode. This avoids the overhead of maintaining a separate configuration file for
+each daemon.
+
+FRR is currently implementing a new internal configuration system based on YANG
+data models. When this work is completed, FRR will be a fully programmable
+routing stack.

+
+Supported Platforms
+-------------------
+
+
+Currently FRR supports GNU/Linux and BSD. Porting FRR to other platforms is not
+too difficult as platform dependent code should be mostly limited to the
+*Zebra* daemon. Protocol daemons are largely platform independent. Please let
+us know if you can get FRR to run on a platform which is not listed below:
+
+- GNU/Linux
+- FreeBSD
+- NetBSD
+- OpenBSD
+
+Versions of these platforms that are older than around 2 years from the point
+of their original release (in case of GNU/Linux, this is since the kernel's
+release on https://kernel.org/) may need some work. Similarly, the following
+platforms may work with some effort:
+
+- MacOS
+
+Recent versions of the following compilers are well tested:
+
+- GNU's GCC
+- LLVM's Clang
+- Intel's ICC
+
+.. _unsupported-platforms:
+
+Unsupported Platforms
+---------------------
+
+In General if the platform you are attempting to use is not listed above then
+FRR does not support being run on that platform.  The only caveat here is that
+version 7.5 and before Solaris was supported in a limited fashion.
+
+.. _feature-matrix:
+
+Feature Matrix
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following table lists all protocols cross-referenced to all operating
+systems that have at least CI build tests. Note that for features, only
+features with system dependencies are included here; if you don't see the
+feature you're interested in, it should be supported on your platform.
+
+.. role:: mark
+
+.. comment - the :mark:`X` pieces mesh with a little bit of JavaScript and
+   CSS in _static/overrides.{js,css} respectively.  The JS code looks at the
+   presence of the 'Y' 'N' '≥' '†' or 'CP' strings.  This seemed to be the
+   best / least intrusive way of getting a nice table in HTML.  The table
+   will look somewhat shoddy on other sphinx targets like PDF or info (but
+   should still be readable.)

+
+Packet Binary Dump Format
+=========================
+
+FRR can dump routing protocol packets into a file with a binary format.
+
+It seems to be better that we share the MRT's header format for
+backward compatibility with MRT's dump logs. We should also define the
+binary format excluding the header, because we must support both IP
+v4 and v6 addresses as socket addresses and / or routing entries.
+
+In the last meeting, we discussed to have a version field in the
+header. But Masaki told us that we can define new 'type' value rather
+than having a 'version' field, and it seems to be better because we
+don't need to change header format.
+
+Here is the common header format. This is same as that of MRT.::
+
+    0                   1                   2                   3

+PATH
+****
+
+:abbr:`PATH` is a daemon that handles the installation and deletion
+of Segment Routing (SR) Policies.
+Based on MPLS (This means that your OS of choice must support MPLS),
+SR add a stack of MPLS labels to ingress packets so these
+packets are egress through the desired path.
+
+.. image:: images/pathd_general.png
+
+The SR policies and Segment Lists can be configured either locally by means
+of vtysh or centralized based on a SDN controller (ODL, Cisco, ...)
+communicating using the PCEP protocol (:rfc:`5440`).
+
+
+.. _starting-path:
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Explicit Segment Lists
+----------------------
+
+This is the simplest way of configuration, no remote PCE is necessary.
+In order to create a config that match the graphics used in this documentation,
+we will create a segment list (SL) called SL1 with an element for each hop and
+that element will be assigned a MPLS label.
+Then the SL1 will be used in the policy ``example1``, please note also the
+preference as in the case of multiple segment list it will be used with the
+criteria of bigger number more preference.
+Let see now the final configuration that match the graphics shown above.
+
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   segment-routing
+    traffic-eng
+     segment-list SL1
+      index 10  mpls label 16001
+      index 20  mpls label 16002
+     !
+     policy color 1 endpoint 192.0.2.4
+      name example1
+      binding-sid 1111
+      candidate-path preference 100 name CP1 explicit segment-list SL1
+
+
+Explicit Segment Lists and Traffic Engineering Database (TED)
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Sometimes is difficult to know the values of MPLS labels
+(adjacency changes,...).
+Based on the support of IS-IS or OSPF we can activate TED support what will
+allow pathd to resolve MPLS based in different types of segments
+(:rfc: `draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy-07`). The supported types are
+Type C (prefix and local interface), Type E (prefix and algorithm),
+Type F (a pair of IP's).
+So the configuration would change to this
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   segment-routing
+    traffic-eng
+     mpls-te on
+     mpls-te import ospfv2
+     segment-list SL1
+      index 10  nai prefix 10.1.2.1/32 iface 1
+      index 20  nai adjacency 10.1.20.1 10.1.20.2
+     !
+     policy color 1 endpoint 192.0.2.4
+      name example1
+      binding-sid 1111
+      candidate-path preference 100 name CP1 explicit segment-list SL1
+
+
+In this case no MPLS are provided but the pathd TED support will resolve the
+configuration provided to corresponding MPLS labels.
+
+.. note::
+	Please note the ``mpls-te`` configuration added that activate the TED
+	support and points to ``ospfv2`` so
+	the ospfv2 (:ref:`ospf-traffic-engineering`) daemon must be also
+	running and configure to export TED information.
+
+.. note::
+	It would be the same for isis (:ref:`isis-traffic-engineering`) but in the
+	moment of writting it's not fully tested.
+
+Dynamic Segment Lists
+---------------------
+
+One of the useful options to configure is the creation of policies with
+the dynamic option. In this case based on a given endpoint the SL will be
+,first calculated, and then sended by means of PCEP protocol by the configured
+PCE.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   traffic-eng
+    !
+    pcep
+     !
+     pce PCE1
+      address ip 192.0.2.10
+     !
+     pcc
+      peer PCE1 precedence 10
+    !
+    policy color 1 endpoint 192.0.2.4
+     name example
+     binding-sid 1111
+     candidate-path preference 100 name CP2 dynamic
+
+.. note::
+	Please note the configuration for the remote pce which allows pathd to
+	connect to the given PCE and act as a PCC (PCEP Client)
+
+.. note::
+	If the TED support feature is active, the data obtained from PCE will
+	be validated, so in a SL from PCEP/PCE the IP and MPLS will be checked
+	against local TED obtained and built from the igp configured in that
+	case.
+
+.. image:: images/pathd_config.png
+
+Pce Initiated
+-------------
+
+We can step forward in the use of our controller not only by asking to
+calculate paths to an endpoint but also to create the whole policies in the
+controller and obtain those by means of the PCEP protocol.
+
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   traffic-eng
+    !
+    pcep
+     !
+     pce PCE1
+      address ip 192.0.2.10
+      pce-initiated
+     !
+     pce PCE2
+      address ip 192.0.2.9
+      pce-initiated
+     !
+     pcc
+      peer PCE1 precedence 10
+      peer PCE2 precedence 20
+    !
+
+.. note::
+	Now there is no locally created policies in the config as they will
+	be obtain from the configured pce.
+	Please check command :clicmd:`show sr-te policy` in ``vtysh`` to see
+	the obtained policies.
+
+.. note::
+	Another interesting command is :clicmd:`show mpls table`
+	to check the installed mpls configuration based in those obtained
+	policies.
+
+.. note::
+	SR Policies could be a mix of local, remote obtained from PCE and
+	delegated to a PCE (but while testing Pce Initiated with Cisco PCE,
+	happens that controller sends PCE initiated delete commands to delete
+	the locally created configuration related to that PCE).
+
+
+.. image:: images/pathd_initiated_multi.png
+
+Starting
+=============
+
+Default configuration file for *pathd* is :file:`pathd.conf`.  The typical
+location of :file:`pathd.conf` is |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/pathd.conf.
+
+If the user is using integrated config, then :file:`pathd.conf` need not be
+present and the :file:`frr.conf` is read instead.
+
+.. program:: pathd
+
+:abbr:`PATH` supports all the common FRR daemon start options which are
+documented elsewhere.
+
+PCEP Support
+============
+
+A pceplib is included in the frr source tree and build by default.
+
+
+To start pathd with pcep support the extra parameter `-M pathd_pcep` should be
+passed to the pathd daemon.
+
+An example of command line with pcep module could be this
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+  pathd -u root -g root -f pathd.conf -z /tmp/zebra-demo1.sock --vty_socket=/var/run/demo1.vty -i /tmp/pathd-demo1.pid -M frr/modules/pathd_pcep.so --log file:/tmp/kk.txt

+Usage with BGP route-maps
+=========================
+
+It is possible to steer traffic 'into' a segment routing policy for routes
+learned through BGP using route-maps:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+  route-map SET_SR_POLICY permit 10
+   set sr-te color 1
+  !
+  router bgp 1
+   bgp router-id 192.0.2.2
+   neighbor 192.0.2.1 remote-as 1
+   neighbor 192.0.2.1 update-source lo
+   !
+   address-family ipv4 unicast
+    neighbor 192.0.2.1 next-hop-self
+    neighbor 192.0.2.1 route-map SET_SR_POLICY in
+    redistribute static
+   exit-address-family
+   !
+  !
+
+In this case, the SR Policy with color `1` and endpoint `192.0.2.1` is selected.

+PBR
+***
+
+:abbr:`PBR` is Policy Based Routing.  This implementation supports a very simple
+interface to allow admins to influence routing on their router.  At this time
+you can only match on destination and source prefixes for an incoming interface.
+At this point in time, this implementation will only work on Linux.
+
+.. _starting-pbr:
+
+Starting PBR
+============
+
+Default configuration file for *pbrd* is :file:`pbrd.conf`.  The typical
+location of :file:`pbrd.conf` is |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/pbrd.conf.
+
+If the user is using integrated config, then :file:`pbrd.conf` need not be
+present and the :file:`frr.conf` is read instead.
+
+.. program:: pbrd
+
+:abbr:`PBR` supports all the common FRR daemon start options which are
+documented elsewhere.
+
+.. _nexthop-groups:
+
+Nexthop Groups
+==============
+
+Nexthop groups are a way to encapsulate ECMP information together.  It's a
+listing of ECMP nexthops used to forward packets for when a pbr-map is matched.
+
+.. clicmd:: nexthop-group NAME
+
+   Create a nexthop-group with an associated NAME.  This will put you into a
+   sub-mode where you can specify individual nexthops.  To exit this mode type
+   exit or end as per normal conventions for leaving a sub-mode.
+
+.. clicmd:: nexthop [A.B.C.D|X:X::X:XX] [interface [onlink]] [nexthop-vrf NAME] [label LABELS]
+
+   Create a v4 or v6 nexthop.  All normal rules for creating nexthops that you
+   are used to are allowed here.  The syntax was intentionally kept the same as
+   creating nexthops as you would for static routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: pbr table range (10000-4294966272) (10000-4294966272)
+
+   Set or unset the range used to assign numeric table ID's to new
+   nexthop-group tables. Existing tables will not be modified to fit in this
+   range, so it is recommended to configure this before adding nexthop groups.
+
+   .. seealso:: :ref:`pbr-details`
+
+Showing Nexthop Group Information
+---------------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: show pbr nexthop-groups [NAME] [json]
+
+   Display information on a PBR nexthop-group. If ``NAME`` is omitted, all
+   nexthop groups are shown. Setting ``json`` will provide the same
+   information in an array of objects which obey the schema below:
+

+
+.. _pbr-maps:
+
+PBR Maps
+========
+
+PBR maps are a way to group policies that we would like to apply to individual
+interfaces. These policies when applied are matched against incoming packets.
+If matched the nexthop-group or nexthop is used to forward the packets to the
+end destination.
+
+.. clicmd:: pbr-map NAME seq (1-700)
+
+   Create a pbr-map with NAME and sequence number specified.  This command puts
+   you into a new submode for pbr-map specification.  To exit this mode type
+   exit or end as per normal conventions for leaving a sub-mode.
+
+.. clicmd:: match src-ip PREFIX
+
+   When a incoming packet matches the source prefix specified, take the packet
+   and forward according to the nexthops specified.  This command accepts both
+   v4 and v6 prefixes.  This command is used in conjunction of the
+   :clicmd:`match dst-ip PREFIX` command for matching.
+
+.. clicmd:: match dst-ip PREFIX
+
+   When a incoming packet matches the destination prefix specified, take the
+   packet and forward according to the nexthops specified.  This command accepts
+   both v4 and v6 prefixes.  This command is used in conjunction of the
+   :clicmd:`match src-ip PREFIX` command for matching.
+
+.. clicmd:: match src-port (1-65535)
+
+   When a incoming packet matches the source port specified, take the
+   packet and forward according to the nexthops specified.
+
+.. clicmd:: match dst-port (1-65535)
+
+   When a incoming packet matches the destination port specified, take the
+   packet and forward according to the nexthops specified.
+
+.. clicmd:: match ip-protocol [tcp|udp]
+
+   When a incoming packet matches the specified ip protocol, take the
+   packet and forward according to the nexthops specified.
+
+.. clicmd:: match mark (1-4294967295)
+
+   Select the mark to match.  This is a linux only command and if attempted
+   on another platform it will be denied.  This mark translates to the
+   underlying `ip rule .... fwmark XXXX` command.
+
+.. clicmd:: match dscp (DSCP|0-63)
+
+   Match packets according to the specified differentiated services code point
+   (DSCP) in the IP header; if this value matches then forward the packet
+   according to the nexthop(s) specified. The passed DSCP value may also be a
+   standard name for a differentiated service code point like cs0 or af11.
+
+   You may only specify one dscp per route map sequence; to match on multiple
+   dscp values you will need to create several sequences, one for each value.
+
+.. clicmd:: match ecn (0-3)
+
+   Match packets according to the specified explicit congestion notification
+   (ECN) field in the IP header; if this value matches then forward the packet
+   according to the nexthop(s) specified.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: set queue-id (1-65535)
+
+   Set the egress port queue identifier for matched packets. The Linux Kernel
+   provider does not currently support packet mangling, so this field will be
+   ignored unless another provider is used.
+
+.. clicmd:: set pcp (0-7)
+
+   Set the 802.1Q priority code point (PCP) for matched packets. A PCP of zero
+   is the defaul (nominally, "best effort"). The Linux Kernel provider does not 
+   currently support packet mangling, so this field will be ignored unless 
+   another provider is used.
+
+.. clicmd:: set vlan (1-4094)
+
+   Set the VLAN tag for matched packets. Identifiers 0 and 4095 are reserved.
+   The Linux Kernel provider does not currently support packet mangling, so 
+   this field will be ignored unless another provider is used.
+
+.. clicmd:: strip vlan
+
+   Strip inner vlan tags from matched packets. The Linux Kernel provider does not currently support packet mangling, so this field will be ignored unless another provider is used. It is invalid to specify both a `strip` and `set
+   vlan` action.
+
+.. clicmd:: set nexthop-group NAME
+
+   Use the nexthop-group NAME as the place to forward packets when the match
+   commands have matched a packet.
+
+.. clicmd:: set nexthop [A.B.C.D|X:X::X:XX] [interface] [nexthop-vrf NAME]
+
+   Use this individual nexthop as the place to forward packets when the match
+   commands have matched a packet.
+
+.. clicmd:: set vrf unchanged|NAME
+
+   If unchanged is set, the rule will use the vrf table the interface is in
+   as its lookup. If NAME is specified, the rule will use that vrf table as
+   its lookup.
+
+   Not supported with NETNS VRF backend.
+
+.. clicmd:: show pbr map [NAME] [detail|json]
+
+   Display pbr maps either all or by ``NAME``. If ``detail`` is set, it will
+   give information about the rules unique ID used internally and some extra
+   debugging information about install state for the nexthop/nexthop group.
+   Setting ``json`` will provide the same information in an array of objects
+   which obey the schema below:
+
+   +----------+--------------------------------+---------+
+   | Key      | Description                    | Type    |

+PBR Policy
+==========
+
+After you have specified a PBR map, in order for it to be turned on, you must
+apply the PBR map to an interface.  This policy application to an interface
+causes the policy to be installed into the kernel.
+
+.. clicmd:: pbr-policy NAME
+
+   This command is available under interface sub-mode.  This turns
+   on the PBR map NAME and allows it to work properly.
+
+.. note::
+   This will not dynamically create PBR maps on sub-interfaces (i.e. vlans)
+   even if one is on the master. Each must have the PBR map explicitly added
+   to the interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: show pbr interface [NAME] [json]
+
+   Enumerates all interfaces which ``pbrd`` is keeping track of. Passing
+   ``json`` will return an array of interfaces; each returned interface will
+   adhere to the JSON schema below:

+
+PBR Details
+===========
+
+Under the covers a PBR map is translated into two separate constructs in the
+Linux kernel.
+
+
+The PBR map specified creates a `ip rule ...` that is inserted into the Linux
+kernel that points to a table to use for forwarding once the rule matches.
+
+
+The creation of a nexthop or nexthop-group is translated to a default route in a
+table with the nexthops specified as the nexthops for the default route.

+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim rp A.B.C.D A.B.C.D/M
+
+   In order to use pim, it is necessary to configure a RP for join messages to
+   be sent to. Currently the only methodology to do this is via static rp
+   commands. All routers in the pim network must agree on these values. The
+   first ip address is the RP's address and the second value is the matching
+   prefix of group ranges covered. This command is vrf aware, to configure for
+   a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim rp keep-alive-timer (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the time out value for a S,G flow from 1-65535 seconds at RP.
+   The normal keepalive period for the KAT(S,G) defaults to 210 seconds.
+   However, at the RP, the keepalive period must be at least the
+   Register_Suppression_Time, or the RP may time out the (S,G) state
+   before the next Null-Register arrives. Thus, the KAT(S,G) is set to
+   max(Keepalive_Period, RP_Keepalive_Period) when a Register-Stop is sent.
+   If choosing a value below 31 seconds be aware that some hardware platforms
+   cannot see data flowing in better than 30 second chunks. This command is
+   vrf aware, to configure for a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim register-accept-list PLIST
+
+   When pim receives a register packet the source of the packet will be compared
+   to the prefix-list specified, PLIST, and if a permit is received normal
+   processing continues.  If a deny is returned for the source address of the
+   register packet a register stop message is sent to the source.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim spt-switchover infinity-and-beyond [prefix-list PLIST]
+
+   On the last hop router if it is desired to not switch over to the SPT tree
+   configure this command. Optional parameter prefix-list can be use to control
+   which groups to switch or not switch. If a group is PERMIT as per the
+   PLIST, then the SPT switchover does not happen for it and if it is DENY,
+   then the SPT switchover happens.
+   This command is vrf aware, to configure for a vrf,
+   enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim ecmp
+
+   If pim has the a choice of ECMP nexthops for a particular RPF, pim will
+   cause S,G flows to be spread out amongst the nexthops. If this command is
+   not specified then the first nexthop found will be used. This command is vrf
+   aware, to configure for a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim ecmp rebalance
+
+   If pim is using ECMP and an interface goes down, cause pim to rebalance all
+   S,G flows across the remaining nexthops. If this command is not configured
+   pim only modifies those S,G flows that were using the interface that went
+   down. This command is vrf aware, to configure for a vrf, enter the vrf
+   submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim join-prune-interval (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the join/prune interval that pim uses to the new value. Time is
+   specified in seconds. This command is vrf aware, to configure for a vrf,
+   enter the vrf submode.  The default time is 60 seconds.  If you enter
+   a value smaller than 60 seconds be aware that this can and will affect
+   convergence at scale.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim keep-alive-timer (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the time out value for a S,G flow from 1-65535 seconds. If choosing
+   a value below 31 seconds be aware that some hardware platforms cannot see data
+   flowing in better than 30 second chunks. This command is vrf aware, to
+   configure for a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim packets (1-255)
+
+   When processing packets from a neighbor process the number of packets
+   incoming at one time before moving on to the next task. The default value is
+   3 packets.  This command is only useful at scale when you can possibly have
+   a large number of pim control packets flowing. This command is vrf aware, to
+   configure for a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim register-suppress-time (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the time that pim will register suppress a FHR will send register
+   notifications to the kernel. This command is vrf aware, to configure for a
+   vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim send-v6-secondary
+
+   When sending pim hello packets tell pim to send any v6 secondary addresses
+   on the interface. This information is used to allow pim to use v6 nexthops
+   in it's decision for RPF lookup. This command is vrf aware, to configure for
+   a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim ssm prefix-list WORD
+
+   Specify a range of group addresses via a prefix-list that forces pim to
+   never do SM over. This command is vrf aware, to configure for a vrf, enter
+   the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip multicast rpf-lookup-mode WORD
+
+   Modify how PIM does RPF lookups in the zebra routing table.  You can use
+   these choices:
+
+   longer-prefix
+      Lookup the RPF in both tables using the longer prefix as a match
+
+   lower-distance
+      Lookup the RPF in both tables using the lower distance as a match
+
+   mrib-only
+      Lookup in the Multicast RIB only
+
+   mrib-then-urib
+      Lookup in the Multicast RIB then the Unicast Rib, returning first found.
+      This is the default value for lookup if this command is not entered
+
+   urib-only
+      Lookup in the Unicast Rib only.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip igmp generate-query-once [version (2-3)]
+
+   Generate IGMP query (v2/v3) on user requirement. This will not depend on
+   the existing IGMP general query timer.If no version is provided in the cli,
+   the default will be the igmp version enabled on that interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip igmp watermark-warn (1-65535)
+
+   Configure watermark warning generation for an igmp group limit. Generates
+   warning once the configured group limit is reached while adding new groups.
+   'no' form of the command disables the warning generation. This command is
+   vrf aware. To configure per vrf, enter vrf submode.
+
+.. _pim-interface-configuration:
+
+PIM Interface Configuration
+===========================
+
+PIM interface commands allow you to configure an interface as either a Receiver
+or a interface that you would like to form pim neighbors on. If the interface
+is in a vrf, enter the interface command with the vrf keyword at the end.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim active-active
+
+   Turn on pim active-active configuration for a Vxlan interface.  This
+   command will not do anything if you do not have the underlying ability
+   of a mlag implementation.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim bsm
+
+   Tell pim that we would like to use this interface to process bootstrap
+   messages. This is enabled by default. 'no' form of this command is used to
+   restrict bsm messages on this interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim unicast-bsm
+
+   Tell pim that we would like to allow interface to process unicast bootstrap
+   messages. This is enabled by default. 'no' form of this command is used to
+   restrict processing of unicast bsm messages on this interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim drpriority (1-4294967295)
+
+   Set the DR Priority for the interface. This command is useful to allow the

+
+   Set the pim hello and hold interval for a interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim
+
+   Tell pim that we would like to use this interface to form pim neighbors
+   over. Please note that this command does not enable the reception of IGMP
+   reports on the interface. Refer to the next `ip igmp` command for IGMP
+   management.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim use-source A.B.C.D
+
+   If you have multiple addresses configured on a particular interface
+   and would like pim to use a specific source address associated with
+   that interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip pim passive
+
+   Disable sending and receiving pim control packets on the interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip igmp
+
+   Tell pim to receive IGMP reports and Query on this interface. The default
+   version is v3. This command is useful on a LHR.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip igmp join A.B.C.D [A.B.C.D]
+
+   Join multicast group or source-group on an interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip igmp query-interval (1-65535)

+
+   :ref:`bfd-pim-peer-config`
+
+
+.. _pim-multicast-rib:
+
+PIM Multicast RIB
+=================
+
+In order to influence Multicast RPF lookup, it is possible to insert
+into zebra routes for the Multicast RIB. These routes are only
+used for RPF lookup and will not be used by zebra for insertion
+into the kernel *or* for normal rib processing. As such it is
+possible to create weird states with these commands. Use with
+caution. Most of the time this will not be necessary.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip mroute A.B.C.D/M A.B.C.D (1-255)
+
+   Insert into the Multicast Rib Route A.B.C.D/M with specified nexthop. The
+   distance can be specified as well if desired.

+.. clicmd:: ip mroute A.B.C.D/M INTERFACE (1-255)
+
+   Insert into the Multicast Rib Route A.B.C.D/M using the specified INTERFACE.
+   The distance can be specified as well if desired.
+
+.. _msdp-configuration:
+
+Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) Configuration
+========================================================
+
+MSDP can be setup in different ways:
+
+* MSDP meshed-group: where all peers are connected with each other creating
+  a fully meshed network. SAs (source active) messages are not forwarded in
+  this mode because the origin is able to send SAs to all members.
+
+  This setup is commonly used with anycast.
+
+* MSDP peering: when there is one or more peers that are not fully meshed. SAs
+  may be forwarded depending on the result of filtering and RPF checks.
+
+  This setup is commonly consistent with BGP peerings (for RPF checks).
+
+* MSDP default peer: there is only one peer and all SAs will be forwarded
+  there.
+
+.. note::
+
+   MSDP default peer and SA filtering is not implemented.
+
+
+Commands available for MSDP:
+
+.. clicmd:: ip msdp timers (1-65535) (1-65535) [(1-65535)]
+
+   Configure global MSDP timers.
+
+   First value is the keep-alive interval. This configures the interval in
+   seconds between keep-alive messages. The default value is 60 seconds. It
+   should be less than the remote hold time.
+
+   Second value is the hold-time. This configures the interval in seconds before
+   closing a non responding connection. The default value is 75. This value
+   should be greater than the remote keep alive time.
+
+   Third value is the connection retry interval and it is optional. This
+   configures the interval between connection attempts. The default value
+   is 30 seconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip msdp mesh-group WORD member A.B.C.D
+
+   Create or update a mesh group to include the specified MSDP peer.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip msdp mesh-group WORD source A.B.C.D
+
+   Create or update a mesh group to set the source address used to connect to
+   peers.

+.. clicmd:: ip msdp peer A.B.C.D source A.B.C.D
+
+   Create a regular MSDP session with peer using the specified source address.
+
+
+.. _show-pim-information:
+
+Show PIM Information
+====================
+
+All PIM show commands are vrf aware and typically allow you to insert a
+specified vrf command if information is desired about a specific vrf. If no
+vrf is specified then the default vrf is assumed. Finally the special keyword

+PIM Debug Commands
+==================
+
+The debugging subsystem for PIM behaves in accordance with how FRR handles
+debugging. You can specify debugging at the enable CLI mode as well as the
+configure CLI mode. If you specify debug commands in the configuration cli
+mode, the debug commands can be persistent across restarts of the FRR pimd if
+the config was written out.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug igmp
+
+   This turns on debugging for IGMP protocol activity.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug mtrace
+

+.. clicmd:: clear ip pim [vrf NAME] bsr-data
+
+   This command will clear the BSM scope data struct. This command also
+   removes the next hop tracking for the bsr and resets the upstreams
+   for the dynamically learnt RPs.
+
+PIM EVPN configuration
+======================
+To use PIM in the underlay for overlay BUM forwarding associate a multicast
+group with the L2 VNI. The actual configuration is based on your distribution.
+Here is an ifupdown2 example::
+
+   auto vx-10100
+   iface vx-10100
+       vxlan-id 10100
+       bridge-access 100
+       vxlan-local-tunnelip 27.0.0.11
+       vxlan-mcastgrp 239.1.1.100
+
+.. note::
+
+   PIM will see the ``vxlan-mcastgrp`` configuration and auto configure state
+   to properly forward BUM traffic.
+
+PIM also needs to be configured in the underlay to allow the BUM MDT to be
+setup. This is existing PIM configuration:
+
+- Enable pim on the underlay L3 interface via the "ip pim" command.
+- Configure RPs for the BUM multicast group range.
+- Ensure the PIM is enabled on the lo of the VTEPs and the RP.
+
+
+Sample configuration
+====================
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   debug igmp
+   debug pim
+   debug pim zebra
+
+   ! You may want to enable ssmpingd for troubleshooting
+   ! See http://www.venaas.no/multicast/ssmping/
+   !
+   ip ssmpingd 1.1.1.1
+   ip ssmpingd 2.2.2.2
+
+   ! HINTS:
+   !  - Enable "ip pim ssm" on the interface directly attached to the
+   !    multicast source host (if this is the first-hop router)
+   !  - Enable "ip pim ssm" on pim-routers-facing interfaces
+   !  - Enable "ip igmp" on IGMPv3-hosts-facing interfaces
+   !  - In order to inject IGMPv3 local membership information in the
+   !    PIM protocol state, enable both "ip pim ssm" and "ip igmp" on
+   !    the same interface; otherwise PIM won't advertise
+   !    IGMPv3-learned membership to other PIM routers
+
+   interface eth0

+PIMv6 -- Protocol Independent Multicast for IPv6
+
+*pim6d* supports pim-sm as well as MLD v1 and v2. PIMv6 is
+vrf aware and can work within the context of vrf's in order to
+do S,G mrouting.
+
+.. _starting-and-stopping-pim6d:
+
+Starting and Stopping pim6d
+===========================
+
+The default configuration file name of *pim6d*'s is :file:`pim6d.conf`. When
+invoked *pim6d* searches directory |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|. If
+:file:`pim6d.conf` is not there then next search current directory.
+
+*pim6d* requires zebra for proper operation. Additionally *pim6d* depends on
+routing properly setup and working in the network that it is working on.
+
+::
+
+   # zebra -d
+   # pim6d -d
+
+
+Please note that *zebra* must be invoked before *pim6d*.
+
+To stop *pim6d* please use::
+
+   kill `cat /var/run/pim6d.pid`
+
+Certain signals have special meanings to *pim6d*.
+

+
+*pim6d* invocation options. Common options that can be specified
+(:ref:`common-invocation-options`).
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim rp X:X::X:X Y:Y::Y:Y/M
+
+   In order to use pimv6, it is necessary to configure a RP for join messages to
+   be sent to. Currently the only methodology to do this is via static rp
+   commands. All routers in the pimv6 network must agree on these values. The
+   first ipv6 address is the RP's address and the second value is the matching
+   prefix of group ranges covered. This command is vrf aware, to configure for
+   a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim rp X:X::X:X prefix-list WORD
+
+   This CLI helps in configuring RP address for a range of groups specified
+   by the prefix-list.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim rp keep-alive-timer (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the time out value for a S,G flow from 1-65535 seconds at RP.
+   The normal keepalive period for the KAT(S,G) defaults to 210 seconds.
+   However, at the RP, the keepalive period must be at least the
+   Register_Suppression_Time, or the RP may time out the (S,G) state
+   before the next Null-Register arrives. Thus, the KAT(S,G) is set to
+   max(Keepalive_Period, RP_Keepalive_Period) when a Register-Stop is sent.
+   If choosing a value below 31 seconds be aware that some hardware platforms
+   cannot see data flowing in better than 30 second chunks. This command is
+   vrf aware, to configure for a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim spt-switchover infinity-and-beyond [prefix-list PLIST]
+
+   On the last hop router if it is desired to not switch over to the SPT tree
+   configure this command. Optional parameter prefix-list can be use to control
+   which groups to switch or not switch. If a group is PERMIT as per the
+   PLIST, then the SPT switchover does not happen for it and if it is DENY,
+   then the SPT switchover happens.
+   This command is vrf aware, to configure for a vrf,
+   enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim join-prune-interval (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the join/prune interval that pim uses to the new value. Time is
+   specified in seconds. This command is vrf aware, to configure for a vrf,
+   enter the vrf submode.  The default time is 60 seconds.  If you enter
+   a value smaller than 60 seconds be aware that this can and will affect
+   convergence at scale.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim keep-alive-timer (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the time out value for a S,G flow from 1-65535 seconds. If choosing
+   a value below 31 seconds be aware that some hardware platforms cannot see data
+   flowing in better than 30 second chunks. This command is vrf aware, to
+   configure for a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim packets (1-255)
+
+   When processing packets from a neighbor process the number of packets
+   incoming at one time before moving on to the next task. The default value is
+   3 packets.  This command is only useful at scale when you can possibly have
+   a large number of pim control packets flowing. This command is vrf aware, to
+   configure for a vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim register-suppress-time (1-65535)
+
+   Modify the time that pim will register suppress a FHR will send register
+   notifications to the kernel. This command is vrf aware, to configure for a
+   vrf, enter the vrf submode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 ssmpingd [X:X::X:X]
+
+   Enable ipv6 ssmpingd configuration. A network level management tool
+   to check whether one can receive multicast packets via SSM from host.
+   The host target given to ssmping must run the ssmpingd daemon which listens
+   for IPv4 and IPv6 unicast requests. When it receives one, it responds to a
+   well known SSM multicast group which ssmping just have joined.
+
+.. _pimv6-interface-configuration:
+
+PIMv6 Interface Configuration
+=============================
+
+PIMv6 interface commands allow you to configure an interface as either a Receiver
+or a interface that you would like to form pimv6 neighbors on. If the interface
+is in a vrf, enter the interface command with the vrf keyword at the end.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim active-active
+
+   Turn on pim active-active configuration for a Vxlan interface.  This
+   command will not do anything if you do not have the underlying ability
+   of a mlag implementation.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim drpriority (1-4294967295)
+
+   Set the DR Priority for the interface. This command is useful to allow the
+   user to influence what node becomes the DR for a lan segment.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim hello (1-65535) (1-65535)
+
+   Set the pim hello and hold interval for a interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim
+
+   Tell pim that we would like to use this interface to form pim neighbors
+   over. Please note that this command does not enable the reception of MLD
+   reports on the interface. Refer to the next ``ipv6 mld`` command for MLD
+   management.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim use-source X:X::X:X
+
+   If you have multiple addresses configured on a particular interface
+   and would like pim to use a specific source address associated with
+   that interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 pim passive
+
+   Disable sending and receiving pim control packets on the interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mld
+
+   Tell pim to receive MLD reports and Query on this interface. The default
+   version is v2. This command is useful on a LHR.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mld join X:X::X:X [Y:Y::Y:Y]
+
+   Join multicast group or source-group on an interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mld query-interval (1-65535)
+
+   Set the MLD query interval that PIM will use.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mld query-max-response-time (1-65535)
+
+   Set the MLD query response timeout value. If an report is not returned in
+   the specified time we will assume the S,G or \*,G has timed out.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mld version (1-2)
+
+   Set the MLD version used on this interface. The default value is 2.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 multicast boundary oil WORD
+
+   Set a PIMv6 multicast boundary, based upon the WORD prefix-list. If a PIMv6
+   join or MLD report is received on this interface and the Group is denied by
+   the prefix-list, PIMv6 will ignore the join or report.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mld last-member-query-count (1-255)
+
+   Set the MLD last member query count. The default value is 2. 'no' form of
+   this command is used to configure back to the default value.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mld last-member-query-interval (1-65535)
+
+   Set the MLD last member query interval in deciseconds. The default value is
+   10 deciseconds. 'no' form of this command is used to to configure back to the
+   default value.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 mroute INTERFACE X:X::X:X [Y:Y::Y:Y]
+
+   Set a static multicast route for a traffic coming on the current interface to
+   be forwarded on the given interface if the traffic matches the group address
+   and optionally the source address.
+
+.. _show-pimv6-information:
+
+Show PIMv6 Information
+======================
+
+All PIMv6 show commands are vrf aware and typically allow you to insert a
+specified vrf command if information is desired about a specific vrf. If no
+vrf is specified then the default vrf is assumed. Finally the special keyword
+'all' allows you to look at all vrfs for the command. Naming a vrf 'all' will
+cause great confusion.

+
+PIMv6 Debug Commands
+====================
+
+The debugging subsystem for PIMv6 behaves in accordance with how FRR handles

+   information about RPF lookups and information about when a nexthop changes.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug pimv6 nht detail
+
+   This turns on debugging for PIMv6 nexthop in detail. This is not enabled
+   by default.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug pimv6 packet-dump
+
+   This turns on an extraordinary amount of data. Each pim packet sent and
+   received is dumped for debugging purposes. This should be considered a
+   developer only command.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug pimv6 packets
+
+   This turns on information about packet generation for sending and about
+   packet handling from a received packet.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug pimv6 trace
+
+   This traces pim code and how it is running.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug pimv6 zebra
+
+   This gathers data about events from zebra that come up through the ZAPI.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug mroute6
+
+   This turns on debugging for PIMv6 interaction with kernel MFC cache.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug mroute6 detail
+
+   This turns on detailed debugging for PIMv6 interaction with kernel MFC cache.

+RIP
+***
+
+RIP -- Routing Information Protocol is widely deployed interior gateway
+protocol. RIP was developed in the 1970s at Xerox Labs as part of the
+XNS routing protocol. RIP is a :term:`distance-vector` protocol and is
+based on the :term:`Bellman-Ford` algorithms. As a distance-vector
+protocol, RIP router send updates to its neighbors periodically, thus
+allowing the convergence to a known topology. In each update, the
+distance to any given network will be broadcast to its neighboring
+router.
+
+*ripd* supports RIP version 2 as described in RFC2453 and RIP
+version 1 as described in RFC1058.
+
+.. _starting-and-stopping-ripd:
+
+Starting and Stopping ripd
+==========================
+
+The default configuration file name of *ripd*'s is :file:`ripd.conf`. When
+invocation *ripd* searches directory |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|. If :file:`ripd.conf`
+is not there next search current directory.
+
+RIP uses UDP port 520 to send and receive RIP packets. So the user must have
+the capability to bind the port, generally this means that the user must have
+superuser privileges. RIP protocol requires interface information maintained by
+*zebra* daemon. So running *zebra* is mandatory to run *ripd*. Thus minimum
+sequence for running RIP is like below:
+
+::
+
+  # zebra -d
+  # ripd -d
+
+
+Please note that *zebra* must be invoked before *ripd*.
+
+To stop *ripd*. Please use::
+   kill `cat /var/run/ripd.pid`
+
+Certain signals have special meanings to *ripd*.
+

+
+RIP netmask
+-----------
+
+The netmask features of *ripd* support both version 1 and version 2 of RIP.
+Version 1 of RIP originally contained no netmask information. In RIP version 1,
+network classes were originally used to determine the size of the netmask.
+Class A networks use 8 bits of mask, Class B networks use 16 bits of masks,
+while Class C networks use 24 bits of mask. Today, the most widely used method
+of a network mask is assigned to the packet on the basis of the interface that
+received the packet.  Version 2 of RIP supports a variable length subnet mask
+(VLSM). By extending the subnet mask, the mask can be divided and reused. Each
+subnet can be used for different purposes such as large to middle size LANs and
+WAN links. FRR *ripd* does not support the non-sequential netmasks that are
+included in RIP Version 2.
+
+In a case of similar information with the same prefix and metric, the old
+information will be suppressed. Ripd does not currently support equal cost
+multipath routing.

+
+RIP Configuration
+=================
+
+.. clicmd:: router rip
+
+   The `router rip` command is necessary to enable RIP. To disable RIP, use the
+   `no router rip` command. RIP must be enabled before carrying out any of the
+   RIP commands.
+
+
+   Disable RIP.
+
+.. clicmd:: network NETWORK
+
+
+   Set the RIP enable interface by NETWORK. The interfaces which have addresses
+   matching with NETWORK are enabled.
+
+   This group of commands either enables or disables RIP interfaces between
+   certain numbers of a specified network address. For example, if the network
+   for 10.0.0.0/24 is RIP enabled, this would result in all the addresses from
+   10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255 being enabled for RIP. The `no network` command will
+   disable RIP for the specified network.
+
+.. clicmd:: network IFNAME
+
+
+   Set a RIP enabled interface by IFNAME. Both the sending and
+   receiving of RIP packets will be enabled on the port specified in the
+   `network ifname` command. The `no network ifname` command will disable
+   RIP on the specified interface.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D
+
+
+   Specify a RIP neighbor to send updates to. This is required when a neighbor
+   is connected via a network that does not support multicast, or when it is
+   desired to statically define a neighbor. RIP updates will be sent via unicast
+   to each neighbour. Neighbour updates are in addition to any multicast updates
+   sent when an interface is not in passive mode (see the `passive-interface`
+   command). RIP will continue to process updates received from both the
+   neighbor and any received via multicast. The `no neighbor a.b.c.d` command
+   will disable the RIP neighbor.
+
+   Below is very simple RIP configuration. Interface `eth0` and interface which
+   address match to `10.0.0.0/8` are RIP enabled.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      !
+      router rip
+       network 10.0.0.0/8
+       network eth0
+      !
+
+
+.. clicmd:: passive-interface (IFNAME|default)
+
+
+   This command sets the specified interface to passive mode. On passive mode
+   interface, all receiving packets are processed as normal and ripd does not
+   send either multicast or unicast RIP packets except to RIP neighbors
+   specified with `neighbor` command. The interface may be specified as
+   `default` to make ripd default to passive on all interfaces.
+
+   The default is to be passive on all interfaces.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip split-horizon
+
+
+   Control split-horizon on the interface. Default is `ip split-horizon`. If
+   you don't perform split-horizon on the interface, please specify `no ip
+   split-horizon`.
+
+.. _rip-version-control:
+
+RIP Version Control
+===================
+
+RIP can be configured to send either Version 1 or Version 2 packets.  The
+default is to send RIPv2 while accepting both RIPv1 and RIPv2 (and replying
+with packets of the appropriate version for REQUESTS / triggered updates). The
+version to receive and send can be specified globally, and further overridden on
+a per-interface basis if needs be for send and receive separately (see below).
+
+It is important to note that RIPv1 cannot be authenticated. Further, if RIPv1
+is enabled then RIP will reply to REQUEST packets, sending the state of its RIP
+routing table to any remote routers that ask on demand. For a more detailed
+discussion on the security implications of RIPv1 see :ref:`rip-authentication`.
+
+.. clicmd:: version VERSION
+
+   Set RIP version to accept for reads and send. ``VERSION`` can be either 1 or
+   1.
+
+   Disabling RIPv1 by specifying version 2 is STRONGLY encouraged,
+   :ref:`rip-authentication`. This may become the default in a future release.
+
+   Default: Send Version 2, and accept either version.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip rip send version VERSION
+
+   VERSION can be ``1``, ``2``, or ``1 2``.
+
+   This interface command overrides the global rip version setting, and selects
+   which version of RIP to send packets with, for this interface specifically.
+   Choice of RIP Version 1, RIP Version 2, or both versions. In the latter
+   case, where ``1 2`` is specified, packets will be both broadcast and
+   multicast.
+
+   Default: Send packets according to the global version (version 2)
+
+.. clicmd:: ip rip receive version VERSION
+
+   VERSION can be ``1``, ``2``, or ``1 2``.
+
+   This interface command overrides the global rip version setting, and selects
+   which versions of RIP packets will be accepted on this interface. Choice of
+   RIP Version 1, RIP Version 2, or both.
+
+   Default: Accept packets according to the global setting (both 1 and 2).
+
+
+.. _how-to-announce-rip-route:
+
+How to Announce RIP route
+=========================
+
+.. clicmd:: redistribute <babel|bgp|connected|eigrp|isis|kernel|openfabric|ospf|sharp|static|table> [metric (0-16)] [route-map WORD]
+
+   Redistribute routes from other sources into RIP.
+
+If you want to specify RIP only static routes:
+
+.. clicmd:: default-information originate
+
+.. clicmd:: route A.B.C.D/M
+
+
+   This command is specific to FRR. The `route` command makes a static route
+   only inside RIP. This command should be used only by advanced users who are
+   particularly knowledgeable about the RIP protocol. In most cases, we
+   recommend creating a static route in FRR and redistributing it in RIP using
+   `redistribute static`.
+
+.. _filtering-rip-routes:
+
+Filtering RIP Routes
+====================
+
+RIP routes can be filtered by a distribute-list.
+
+.. clicmd:: distribute-list [prefix] LIST <in|out> IFNAME
+
+   You can apply access lists to the interface with a `distribute-list` command.
+   If prefix is specified LIST is a prefix-list.  If prefix is not specified
+   then LIST is the access list name.  `in` specifies packets being received,
+   and `out` specifies outgoing packets.  Finally if an interface is specified
+   it will be applied against a specific interface.
+
+   The `distribute-list` command can be used to filter the RIP path.
+   `distribute-list` can apply access-lists to a chosen interface.  First, one
+   should specify the access-list. Next, the name of the access-list is used in
+   the distribute-list command. For example, in the following configuration
+   ``eth0`` will permit only the paths that match the route 10.0.0.0/8
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+       !
+       router rip
+        distribute-list private in eth0
+       !
+       access-list private permit 10 10.0.0.0/8
+       access-list private deny any
+       !
+
+
+   `distribute-list` can be applied to both incoming and outgoing data.
+
+.. _rip-metric-manipulation:
+
+RIP Metric Manipulation
+=======================
+
+RIP metric is a value for distance for the network. Usually
+*ripd* increment the metric when the network information is
+received. Redistributed routes' metric is set to 1.
+
+.. clicmd:: default-metric (1-16)
+
+
+   This command modifies the default metric value for redistributed routes.
+   The default value is 1. This command does not affect connected route even if
+   it is redistributed by *redistribute connected*. To modify connected route's
+   metric value, please use ``redistribute connected metric`` or *route-map*.
+   *offset-list* also affects connected routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: offset-list ACCESS-LIST (in|out)
+
+.. clicmd:: offset-list ACCESS-LIST (in|out) IFNAME
+
+
+.. _rip-distance:
+
+RIP distance
+============
+
+Distance value is used in zebra daemon. Default RIP distance is 120.
+
+.. clicmd:: distance (1-255)
+
+
+   Set default RIP distance to specified value.
+
+.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M
+
+
+   Set default RIP distance to specified value when the route's source IP
+   address matches the specified prefix.
+
+.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M ACCESS-LIST
+
+
+   Set default RIP distance to specified value when the route's source IP
+   address matches the specified prefix and the specified access-list.
+
+.. _rip-route-map:
+
+RIP route-map
+=============
+
+Usage of *ripd*'s route-map support.
+
+Optional argument route-map MAP_NAME can be added to each `redistribute`
+statement.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   redistribute static [route-map MAP_NAME]
+   redistribute connected [route-map MAP_NAME]
+   .....
+
+
+Cisco applies route-map _before_ routes will exported to rip route table.  In
+current FRR's test implementation, *ripd* applies route-map after routes are
+listed in the route table and before routes will be announced to an interface
+(something like output filter). I think it is not so clear, but it is draft and
+it may be changed at future.
+
+Route-map statement (:ref:`route-map`) is needed to use route-map
+functionality.
+
+.. clicmd:: match interface WORD
+
+   This command match to incoming interface. Notation of this match is
+   different from Cisco. Cisco uses a list of interfaces - NAME1 NAME2 ...
+   NAMEN. Ripd allows only one name (maybe will change in the future). Next -
+   Cisco means interface which includes next-hop of routes (it is somewhat
+   similar to "ip next-hop" statement). Ripd means interface where this route
+   will be sent. This difference is because "next-hop" of same routes which
+   sends to different interfaces must be different. Maybe it'd be better to
+   made new matches - say "match interface-out NAME" or something like that.
+
+.. clicmd:: match ip address WORD
+
+.. clicmd:: match ip address prefix-list WORD
+
+   Match if route destination is permitted by access-list.
+
+.. clicmd:: match ip next-hop WORD
+
+.. clicmd:: match ip next-hop prefix-list WORD
+
+   Match if route next-hop (meaning next-hop listed in the rip route-table as
+   displayed by "show ip rip") is permitted by access-list.
+
+.. clicmd:: match metric (0-4294967295)
+
+   This command match to the metric value of RIP updates. For other protocol
+   compatibility metric range is shown as (0-4294967295). But for RIP protocol
+   only the value range (0-16) make sense.
+
+.. clicmd:: set ip next-hop A.B.C.D
+
+   This command set next hop value in RIPv2 protocol. This command does not
+   affect RIPv1 because there is no next hop field in the packet.
+
+.. clicmd:: set metric (0-4294967295)
+
+   Set a metric for matched route when sending announcement. The metric value
+   range is very large for compatibility with other protocols. For RIP, valid
+   metric values are from 1 to 16.
+
+.. _rip-authentication:
+
+RIP Authentication
+==================
+
+RIPv2 allows packets to be authenticated via either an insecure plain
+text password, included with the packet, or via a more secure MD5 based
+:abbr:`HMAC (keyed-Hashing for Message AuthentiCation)`,
+RIPv1 can not be authenticated at all, thus when authentication is
+configured `ripd` will discard routing updates received via RIPv1
+packets.
+
+However, unless RIPv1 reception is disabled entirely,
+:ref:`rip-version-control`, RIPv1 REQUEST packets which are received,
+which query the router for routing information, will still be honoured
+by `ripd`, and `ripd` WILL reply to such packets. This allows
+`ripd` to honour such REQUESTs (which sometimes is used by old
+equipment and very simple devices to bootstrap their default route),
+while still providing security for route updates which are received.
+
+In short: Enabling authentication prevents routes being updated by
+unauthenticated remote routers, but still can allow routes (I.e. the
+entire RIP routing table) to be queried remotely, potentially by anyone
+on the internet, via RIPv1.
+
+To prevent such unauthenticated querying of routes disable RIPv1,
+:ref:`rip-version-control`.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip rip authentication mode md5
+
+
+   Set the interface with RIPv2 MD5 authentication.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip rip authentication mode text
+
+
+   Set the interface with RIPv2 simple password authentication.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip rip authentication string STRING
+
+
+   RIP version 2 has simple text authentication. This command sets
+   authentication string. The string must be shorter than 16 characters.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip rip authentication key-chain KEY-CHAIN
+
+
+   Specify Keyed MD5 chain.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      !
+      key chain test
+       key 1
+        key-string test
+      !
+      interface eth1
+       ip rip authentication mode md5
+       ip rip authentication key-chain test
+      !
+
+
+.. _rip-timers:
+
+RIP Timers
+==========
+
+.. clicmd:: timers basic UPDATE TIMEOUT GARBAGE
+
+
+   RIP protocol has several timers. User can configure those timers' values
+   by `timers basic` command.
+
+   The default settings for the timers are as follows:
+
+   - The update timer is 30 seconds. Every update timer seconds, the RIP
+     process is awakened to send an unsolicited Response message containing
+     the complete routing table to all neighboring RIP routers.
+   - The timeout timer is 180 seconds. Upon expiration of the timeout, the
+     route is no longer valid; however, it is retained in the routing table
+     for a short time so that neighbors can be notified that the route has
+     been dropped.
+   - The garbage collect timer is 120 seconds. Upon expiration of the
+     garbage-collection timer, the route is finally removed from the routing
+     table.
+
+   The ``timers basic`` command allows the the default values of the timers
+   listed above to be changed.
+
+
+.. _show-rip-information:
+
+Show RIP Information
+====================
+
+To display RIP routes.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip rip
+
+   Show RIP routes.
+
+The command displays all RIP routes. For routes that are received
+through RIP, this command will display the time the packet was sent and
+the tag information. This command will also display this information
+for routes redistributed into RIP.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip rip status
+
+   The command displays current RIP status. It includes RIP timer,
+   filtering, version, RIP enabled interface and RIP peer information.
+

+=========================
+
+RIPng routes can be filtered by a distribute-list.
+
+.. clicmd:: distribute-list [prefix] LIST <in|out> IFNAME
+
+   You can apply access lists to the interface with a `distribute-list` command.
+   If prefix is specified LIST is a prefix-list.  If prefix is not specified
+   then LIST is the access list name.  `in` specifies packets being received,
+   and `out` specifies outgoing packets.  Finally if an interface is specified
+   it will be applied against a specific interface.
+
+   The ``distribute-list`` command can be used to filter the RIPNG path.
+   ``distribute-list`` can apply access-lists to a chosen interface.  First, one
+   should specify the access-list. Next, the name of the access-list is used in
+   the distribute-list command. For example, in the following configuration

+
+**********
+Route Maps
+**********
+
+Route maps provide a means to both filter and/or apply actions to route, hence
+allowing policy to be applied to routes.
+
+For a route reflector to apply a ``route-map`` to reflected routes, be sure to
+include ``bgp route-reflector allow-outbound-policy`` in ``router bgp`` mode.
+
+Route maps are an ordered list of route map entries. Each entry may specify up
+to four distinct sets of clauses:
+
+.. glossary::
+
+   Matching Conditions
+      A route-map entry may, optionally, specify one or more conditions which
+      must be matched if the entry is to be considered further, as governed by
+      the Match Policy. If a route-map entry does not explicitly specify any
+      matching conditions, then it always matches.
+
+   Set Actions
+      A route-map entry may, optionally, specify one or more Set Actions to set
+      or modify attributes of the route.
+
+   Matching Policy
+      This specifies the policy implied if the :term:`Matching Conditions` are
+      met or not met, and which actions of the route-map are to be taken, if
+      any. The two possibilities are:
+
+      - :dfn:`permit`: If the entry matches, then carry out the
+        :term:`Set Actions`. Then finish processing the route-map, permitting
+        the route, unless an :term:`Exit Policy` action indicates otherwise.
+
+      - :dfn:`deny`: If the entry matches, then finish processing the route-map and
+        deny the route (return `deny`).
+
+      The `Matching Policy` is specified as part of the command which defines
+      the ordered entry in the route-map. See below.
+
+   Call Action
+      Call to another route-map, after any :term:`Set Actions` have been
+      carried out.  If the route-map called returns `deny` then processing of
+      the route-map finishes and the route is denied, regardless of the
+      :term:`Matching Policy` or the :term:`Exit Policy`. If the called
+      route-map returns `permit`, then :term:`Matching Policy` and :term:`Exit
+      Policy` govern further behaviour, as normal.
+
+   Exit Policy
+      An entry may, optionally, specify an alternative :dfn:`Exit Policy` to
+      take if the entry matched, rather than the normal policy of exiting the
+      route-map and permitting the route. The two possibilities are:
+
+      - :dfn:`next`: Continue on with processing of the route-map entries.
+
+      - :dfn:`goto N`: Jump ahead to the first route-map entry whose order in
+        the route-map is >= N. Jumping to a previous entry is not permitted.
+
+The default action of a route-map, if no entries match, is to deny.  I.e. a
+route-map essentially has as its last entry an empty *deny* entry, which
+matches all routes. To change this behaviour, one must specify an empty
+*permit* entry as the last entry in the route-map.
+
+To summarise the above:
+
++--------+--------+----------+
+|        | Match  | No Match |
++========+========+==========+
+| Permit | action | cont     |
++--------+--------+----------+
+| Deny   | deny   | cont     |
++--------+--------+----------+
+
+action
+   - Apply *set* statements
+   - If *call* is present, call given route-map. If that returns a ``deny``,
+     finish processing and return ``deny``.
+   - If *Exit Policy* is *next*, goto next route-map entry
+   - If *Exit Policy* is *goto*, goto first entry whose order in the
+     list is >= the given order.
+   - Finish processing the route-map and permit the route.
+
+deny
+   The route is denied by the route-map (return ``deny``).
+
+cont
+   goto next route-map entry
+
+.. _route-map-show-command:
+
+.. clicmd:: show route-map [WORD] [json]
+
+   Display data about each daemons knowledge of individual route-maps.
+   If WORD is supplied narrow choice to that particular route-map.

+
+Configuring FRR as a Route Server
+=================================
+
+The purpose of a Route Server is to centralize the peerings between BGP
+speakers. For example if we have an exchange point scenario with four BGP
+speakers, each of which maintaining a BGP peering with the other three
+(:ref:`fig-topologies-full`), we can convert it into a centralized scenario where
+each of the four establishes a single BGP peering against the Route Server
+(:ref:`fig-topologies-rs`).
+
+We will first describe briefly the Route Server model implemented by FRR.
+We will explain the commands that have been added for configuring that
+model. And finally we will show a full example of FRR configured as Route
+Server.
+
+.. _description-of-the-route-server-model:
+
+Description of the Route Server model
+-------------------------------------
+
+First we are going to describe the normal processing that BGP announcements
+suffer inside a standard BGP speaker, as shown in :ref:`fig-normal-processing`,
+it consists of three steps:
+
+- When an announcement is received from some peer, the `In` filters configured
+  for that peer are applied to the announcement. These filters can reject the
+  announcement, accept it unmodified, or accept it with some of its attributes
+  modified.
+
+- The announcements that pass the `In` filters go into the Best Path Selection
+  process, where they are compared to other announcements referred to the same
+  destination that have been received from different peers (in case such other
+  announcements exist). For each different destination, the announcement which
+  is selected as the best is inserted into the BGP speaker's Loc-RIB.
+
+- The routes which are inserted in the Loc-RIB are considered for announcement
+  to all the peers (except the one from which the route came). This is done by
+  passing the routes in the Loc-RIB through the `Out` filters corresponding to
+  each peer. These filters can reject the route, accept it unmodified, or
+  accept it with some of its attributes modified. Those routes which are
+  accepted by the `Out` filters of a peer are announced to that peer.

+   :align: center
+
+   Route server and clients
+
+Of course we want that the routing tables obtained in each of the routers are
+the same when using the route server than when not. But as a consequence of
+having a single BGP peering (against the route server), the BGP speakers can no
+longer distinguish from/to which peer each announce comes/goes.
+
+.. _filter-delegation:
+
+This means that the routers connected to the route server are not able to apply
+by themselves the same input/output filters as in the full mesh scenario, so
+they have to delegate those functions to the route server.
+
+Even more, the 'best path' selection must be also performed inside the route
+server on behalf of its clients. The reason is that if, after applying the
+filters of the announcer and the (potential) receiver, the route server decides
+to send to some client two or more different announcements referred to the same
+destination, the client will only retain the last one, considering it as an
+implicit withdrawal of the previous announcements for the same destination.
+This is the expected behavior of a BGP speaker as defined in :rfc:`1771`,
+and even though there are some proposals of mechanisms that permit multiple
+paths for the same destination to be sent through a single BGP peering, none
+are currently supported by most existing BGP implementations.
+
+As a consequence a route server must maintain additional information and
+perform additional tasks for a RS-client that those necessary for common BGP
+peerings. Essentially a route server must:
+
+.. _route-server-tasks:
+
+- Maintain a separated Routing Information Base (Loc-RIB)
+  for each peer configured as RS-client, containing the routes
+  selected as a result of the 'Best Path Selection' process
+  that is performed on behalf of that RS-client.
+
+- Whenever it receives an announcement from a RS-client,
+  it must consider it for the Loc-RIBs of the other RS-clients.
+
+  - This means that for each of them the route server must pass the
+    announcement through the appropriate `Out` filter of the
+    announcer.
+
+  - Then through the appropriate `In` filter of the potential receiver.
+
+  - Only if the announcement is accepted by both filters it will be passed
+    to the 'Best Path Selection' process.
+
+  - Finally, it might go into the Loc-RIB of the receiver.
+
+When we talk about the 'appropriate' filter, both the announcer and the
+receiver of the route must be taken into account. Suppose that the route server
+receives an announcement from client A, and the route server is considering it
+for the Loc-RIB of client B. The filters that should be applied are the same
+that would be used in the full mesh scenario, i.e., first the `Out` filter of
+router A for announcements going to router B, and then the `In` filter of
+router B for announcements coming from router A.
+
+We call 'Export Policy' of a RS-client to the set of `Out` filters that the
+client would use if there was no route server. The same applies for the 'Import
+Policy' of a RS-client and the set of `In` filters of the client if there was
+no route server.
+
+It is also common to demand from a route server that it does not modify some
+BGP attributes (next-hop, as-path and MED) that are usually modified by
+standard BGP speakers before announcing a route.
+
+The announcement processing model implemented by FRR is shown in
+:ref:`fig-rs-processing`. The figure shows a mixture of RS-clients (B, C and D)
+with normal BGP peers (A). There are some details that worth additional
+comments:
+
+- Announcements coming from a normal BGP peer are also considered for the
+  Loc-RIBs of all the RS-clients. But logically they do not pass through any
+  export policy.
+
+- Those peers that are configured as RS-clients do not receive any announce
+  from the `Main` Loc-RIB.
+
+- Apart from import and export policies, `In` and `Out` filters can also be set
+  for RS-clients. `In` filters might be useful when the route server has also
+  normal BGP peers. On the other hand, `Out` filters for RS-clients are
+  probably unnecessary, but we decided not to remove them as they do not hurt
+  anybody (they can always be left empty).

+.. _commands-for-configuring-a-route-server:
+
+Commands for configuring a Route Server
+---------------------------------------
+
+Now we will describe the commands that have been added to frr
+in order to support the route server features.
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER-GROUP route-server-client
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D route-server-client
+
+.. clicmd:: neighbor X:X::X:X route-server-client
+
+   This command configures the peer given by `peer`, `A.B.C.D` or `X:X::X:X` as
+   an RS-client.
+
+   Actually this command is not new, it already existed in standard FRR. It
+   enables the transparent mode for the specified peer. This means that some
+   BGP attributes (as-path, next-hop and MED) of the routes announced to that
+   peer are not modified.
+
+   With the route server patch, this command, apart from setting the
+   transparent mode, creates a new Loc-RIB dedicated to the specified peer
+   (those named `Loc-RIB for X` in :ref:`fig-rs-processing`.). Starting from
+   that moment, every announcement received by the route server will be also
+   considered for the new Loc-RIB.
+
+.. clicmd:: neigbor A.B.C.D|X.X::X.X|peer-group route-map WORD in|out
+
+   This set of commands can be used to specify the route-map that represents
+   the Import or Export policy of a peer which is configured as a RS-client
+   (with the previous command).
+
+.. clicmd:: match peer A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X
+
+   This is a new *match* statement for use in route-maps, enabling them to
+   describe import/export policies. As we said before, an import/export policy
+   represents a set of input/output filters of the RS-client. This statement
+   makes possible that a single route-map represents the full set of filters
+   that a BGP speaker would use for its different peers in a non-RS scenario.
+
+   The *match peer* statement has different semantics whether it is used inside
+   an import or an export route-map. In the first case the statement matches if
+   the address of the peer who sends the announce is the same that the address
+   specified by {A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X}. For export route-maps it matches when
+   {A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X} is the address of the RS-Client into whose Loc-RIB the
+   announce is going to be inserted (how the same export policy is applied
+   before different Loc-RIBs is shown in :ref:`fig-rs-processing`.).
+
+.. clicmd:: call WORD
+
+   This command (also used inside a route-map) jumps into a different
+   route-map, whose name is specified by `WORD`. When the called
+   route-map finishes, depending on its result the original route-map
+   continues or not. Apart from being useful for making import/export
+   route-maps easier to write, this command can also be used inside
+   any normal (in or out) route-map.
+
+.. _example-of-route-server-configuration:
+
+Example of Route Server Configuration
+-------------------------------------
+
+Finally we are going to show how to configure a FRR daemon to act as a
+Route Server. For this purpose we are going to present a scenario without
+route server, and then we will show how to use the configurations of the BGP
+routers to generate the configuration of the route server.
+
+All the configuration files shown in this section have been taken
+from scenarios which were tested using the VNUML tool
+`http://www.dit.upm.es/vnuml,VNUML <http://www.dit.upm.es/vnuml,VNUML>`_.
+
+.. _configuration-of-the-bgp-routers-without-route-server:
+
+Configuration of the BGP routers without Route Server
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+We will suppose that our initial scenario is an exchange point with three
+BGP capable routers, named RA, RB and RC. Each of the BGP speakers generates
+some routes (with the `network` command), and establishes BGP peerings
+against the other two routers. These peerings have In and Out route-maps
+configured, named like 'PEER-X-IN' or 'PEER-X-OUT'. For example the
+configuration file for router RA could be the following:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   #Configuration for router 'RA'
+   !
+   hostname RA
+   password ****
+   !
+   router bgp 65001

+   line vty
+   !
+
+
+.. _configuration-of-the-bgp-routers-with-route-server:
+
+Configuration of the BGP routers with Route Server
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+To convert the initial scenario into one with route server, first we must
+modify the configuration of routers RA, RB and RC. Now they must not peer
+between them, but only with the route server. For example, RA's
+configuration would turn into:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   # Configuration for router 'RA'
+   !
+   hostname RA
+   password ****
+   !
+   router bgp 65001
+     no bgp default ipv4-unicast
+     neighbor 2001:0DB8::FFFF remote-as 65000
+   !
+     address-family ipv6
+       network 2001:0DB8:AAAA:1::/64
+       network 2001:0DB8:AAAA:2::/64
+       network 2001:0DB8:0000:1::/64
+       network 2001:0DB8:0000:2::/64
+
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::FFFF activate
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::FFFF soft-reconfiguration inbound
+     exit-address-family
+   !
+   line vty
+   !
+
+
+Which is logically much simpler than its initial configuration, as it now
+maintains only one BGP peering and all the filters (route-maps) have
+disappeared.
+
+.. _configuration-of-the-route-server-itself:
+
+Configuration of the Route Server itself
+----------------------------------------
+
+As we said when we described the functions of a route server
+(:ref:`description-of-the-route-server-model`), it is in charge of all the
+route filtering. To achieve that, the In and Out filters from the RA, RB and RC
+configurations must be converted into Import and Export policies in the route
+server.
+
+This is a fragment of the route server configuration (we only show
+the policies for client RA):
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   # Configuration for Route Server ('RS')
+   !
+   hostname RS
+   password ix
+   !
+   router bgp 65000 view RS
+     no bgp default ipv4-unicast
+     neighbor 2001:0DB8::A  remote-as 65001
+     neighbor 2001:0DB8::B  remote-as 65002
+     neighbor 2001:0DB8::C  remote-as 65003
+   !
+     address-family ipv6
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::A activate
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-server-client
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT in
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-map RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT out
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::A soft-reconfiguration inbound
+
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::B activate
+       neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-server-client

+
+If you compare the initial configuration of RA with the route server
+configuration above, you can see how easy it is to generate the Import and
+Export policies for RA from the In and Out route-maps of RA's original
+configuration.
+
+When there was no route server, RA maintained two peerings, one with RB and
+another with RC. Each of this peerings had an In route-map configured. To
+build the Import route-map for client RA in the route server, simply add
+route-map entries following this scheme:
+
+::
+
+   route-map <NAME> permit 10
+       match peer <Peer Address>
+       call <In Route-Map for this Peer>
+   route-map <NAME> permit 20
+       match peer <Another Peer Address>
+       call <In Route-Map for this Peer>
+
+
+This is exactly the process that has been followed to generate the route-map
+RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT. The route-maps that are called inside it (A-IMPORT-FROM-B
+and A-IMPORT-FROM-C) are exactly the same than the In route-maps from the
+original configuration of RA (PEER-B-IN and PEER-C-IN), only the name is
+different.
+
+The same could have been done to create the Export policy for RA (route-map
+RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT), but in this case the original Out route-maps where so
+simple that we decided not to use the `call WORD` commands, and we
+integrated all in a single route-map (RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT).
+
+The Import and Export policies for RB and RC are not shown, but
+the process would be identical.
+
+Further considerations about Import and Export route-maps
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+The current version of the route server patch only allows to specify a
+route-map for import and export policies, while in a standard BGP speaker
+apart from route-maps there are other tools for performing input and output
+filtering (access-lists, community-lists, ...). But this does not represent
+any limitation, as all kinds of filters can be included in import/export
+route-maps. For example suppose that in the non-route-server scenario peer
+RA had the following filters configured for input from peer B:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   neighbor 2001:0DB8::B prefix-list LIST-1 in
+   neighbor 2001:0DB8::B filter-list LIST-2 in
+   neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-map PEER-B-IN in
+   ...
+   ...
+   route-map PEER-B-IN permit 10
+     match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES
+     set local-preference 100
+   route-map PEER-B-IN permit 20
+     match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES
+     set community 65001:11111
+
+
+It is possible to write a single route-map which is equivalent to the three
+filters (the community-list, the prefix-list and the route-map). That route-map
+can then be used inside the Import policy in the route server. Lets see how to
+do it:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT in
+   ...
+   !
+   ...
+   route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT permit 10
+     match peer 2001:0DB8::B
+     call A-IMPORT-FROM-B
+   ...
+   ...
+   !
+   route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 1
+     match ipv6 address prefix-list LIST-1
+     match as-path LIST-2
+     on-match goto 10
+   route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B deny 2
+   route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 10
+     match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES
+     set local-preference 100
+   route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 20
+     match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES
+     set community 65001:11111
+   !
+   ...
+   ...
+
+
+The route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B is equivalent to the three filters (LIST-1,
+LIST-2 and PEER-B-IN). The first entry of route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B (sequence
+number 1) matches if and only if both the prefix-list LIST-1 and the
+filter-list LIST-2 match. If that happens, due to the 'on-match goto 10'
+statement the next route-map entry to be processed will be number 10, and as of
+that point route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B is identical to PEER-B-IN. If the first
+entry does not match, `on-match goto 10`' will be ignored and the next
+processed entry will be number 2, which will deny the route.
+
+Thus, the result is the same that with the three original filters, i.e., if
+either LIST-1 or LIST-2 rejects the route, it does not reach the route-map
+PEER-B-IN. In case both LIST-1 and LIST-2 accept the route, it passes to
+PEER-B-IN, which can reject, accept or modify the route.

+
+Prefix Origin Validation Using RPKI
+===================================
+
+Prefix Origin Validation allows BGP routers to verify if the origin AS of an IP
+prefix is legitimate to announce this IP prefix. The required attestation
+objects are stored in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (:abbr:`RPKI`).
+However, RPKI-enabled routers do not store cryptographic data itself but only
+validation information. The validation of the cryptographic data (so called
+Route Origin Authorization, or short :abbr:`ROA`, objects) will be performed by
+trusted cache servers. The RPKI/RTR protocol defines a standard mechanism to
+maintain the exchange of the prefix/origin AS mapping between the cache server
+and routers. In combination with a  BGP Prefix Origin Validation scheme a
+router is able to verify received BGP updates without suffering from
+cryptographic complexity.
+
+The RPKI/RTR protocol is defined in :rfc:`6810` and the validation scheme in
+:rfc:`6811`. The current version of Prefix Origin Validation in FRR implements
+both RFCs.
+
+For a more detailed but still easy-to-read background, we suggest:

+
+.. _features-of-the-current-implementation:
+
+Features of the Current Implementation
+--------------------------------------
+
+In a nutshell, the current implementation provides the following features
+
+- The BGP router can connect to one or more RPKI cache servers to receive
+  validated prefix to origin AS mappings. Advanced failover can be implemented
+  by server sockets with different preference values.
+- If no connection to an RPKI cache server can be established after a
+  pre-defined timeout, the router will process routes without prefix origin
+  validation. It still will try to establish a connection to an RPKI cache
+  server in the background.
+- By default, enabling RPKI does not change best path selection. In particular,
+  invalid prefixes will still be considered during best path selection.
+  However, the router can be configured to ignore all invalid prefixes.
+- Route maps can be configured to match a specific RPKI validation state. This
+  allows the creation of local policies, which handle BGP routes based on the
+  outcome of the Prefix Origin Validation.
+- Updates from the RPKI cache servers are directly applied and path selection
+  is updated accordingly. (Soft reconfiguration **must** be enabled for this
+  to work).
+
+
+.. _enabling-rpki:
+
+Enabling RPKI
+-------------
+
+You must install ``frr-rpki-rtrlib`` additional package for RPKI support,
+otherwise ``bgpd`` daemon won't startup.
+
+.. clicmd:: rpki
+
+   This command enables the RPKI configuration mode. Most commands that start
+   with *rpki* can only be used in this mode.
+
+   When it is used in a telnet session, leaving of this mode cause rpki to be
+   initialized.
+
+   Executing this command alone does not activate prefix validation. You need
+   to configure at least one reachable cache server. See section
+   :ref:`configuring-rpki-rtr-cache-servers` for configuring a cache server.
+
+Remember to add ``-M rpki`` to the variable ``bgpd_options`` in
+:file:`/etc/frr/daemons` , like so::
+
+   bgpd_options="   -A 127.0.0.1 -M rpki"
+
+instead of the default setting::
+
+   bgpd_options="   -A 127.0.0.1"
+
+Otherwise you will encounter an error when trying to enter RPKI
+configuration mode due to the ``rpki`` module not being loaded when the BGP
+daemon is initialized.
+
+Examples of the error::
+
+   router(config)# debug rpki
+   % [BGP] Unknown command: debug rpki
+
+   router(config)# rpki
+   % [BGP] Unknown command: rpki
+
+Note that the RPKI commands will be available in vtysh when running
+``find rpki`` regardless of whether the module is loaded.
+
+.. _configuring-rpki-rtr-cache-servers:
+
+Configuring RPKI/RTR Cache Servers
+----------------------------------
+
+The following commands are independent of a specific cache server.
+
+.. clicmd:: rpki polling_period (1-3600)
+
+   Set the number of seconds the router waits until the router asks the cache
+   again for updated data.
+
+   The default value is 300 seconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: rpki expire_interval (600-172800)
+
+   Set the number of seconds the router waits until the router expires the cache.
+
+   The default value is 7200 seconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: rpki retry_interval (1-7200)
+
+   Set the number of seconds the router waits until retrying to connect to the
+   cache server.
+
+   The default value is 600 seconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: rpki cache (A.B.C.D|WORD) PORT [SSH_USERNAME] [SSH_PRIVKEY_PATH] [KNOWN_HOSTS_PATH] [source A.B.C.D] preference (1-255)
+
+
+   Add a cache server to the socket. By default, the connection between router
+   and cache server is based on plain TCP. Protecting the connection between
+   router and cache server by SSH is optional. Deleting a socket removes the
+   associated cache server and terminates the existing connection.
+
+   A.B.C.D|WORD
+      Address of the cache server.
+
+   PORT
+      Port number to connect to the cache server
+
+   SSH_USERNAME
+      SSH username to establish an SSH connection to the cache server.
+
+   SSH_PRIVKEY_PATH
+      Local path that includes the private key file of the router.
+
+   KNOWN_HOSTS_PATH
+      Local path that includes the known hosts file. The default value depends
+      on the configuration of the operating system environment, usually
+      :file:`~/.ssh/known_hosts`.
+
+   source A.B.C.D
+      Source address of the RPKI connection to access cache server.
+
+
+.. _validating-bgp-updates:
+
+Validating BGP Updates
+----------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: match rpki notfound|invalid|valid
+
+
+    Create a clause for a route map to match prefixes with the specified RPKI
+    state.
+
+    In the following example, the router prefers valid routes over invalid
+    prefixes because invalid routes have a lower local preference.
+
+    .. code-block:: frr
+
+       ! Allow for invalid routes in route selection process
+       route bgp 60001
+       !
+       ! Set local preference of invalid prefixes to 10
+       route-map rpki permit 10
+        match rpki invalid
+        set local-preference 10
+       !
+       ! Set local preference of valid prefixes to 500
+       route-map rpki permit 500
+        match rpki valid
+        set local-preference 500
+
+.. clicmd:: match rpki-extcommunity notfound|invalid|valid
+
+   Create a clause for a route map to match prefixes with the specified RPKI
+   state, that is derived from the Origin Validation State extended community
+   attribute (OVS). OVS extended community is non-transitive and is exchanged
+   only between iBGP peers.

+Scripting
+*********
+
+The behavior of FRR may be extended or customized using its built-in scripting
+capabilities. The scripting language is Lua 5.3. This guide assumes Lua
+knowledge. For more information on Lua, consult the Lua 5.3 reference manual, or
+*Programming in Lua* (note that the free version covers only Lua 5.0).
+
+https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/
+
+http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html
+
+Scripting
+=========
+
+.. seealso:: Developer docs for scripting
+
+How to use
+----------
+
+1. Identify the Lua function name. See :ref:`lua-hook-calls`.
+
+2. Write the Lua script
+
+3. Configure FRR to use the Lua script
+
+In order to use scripting, FRR must be built with ``--enable-scripting``.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Scripts are typically loaded just-in-time. This means you can change the
+   contents of a script that is in use without restarting FRR. Not all
+   scripting locations may behave this way; refer to the documentation for the
+   particular location.
+
+
+Example: on_rib_process_dplane_results
+--------------------------------------
+
+This example shows how to write a Lua script that logs changes when a route is
+added.
+
+First, identify the Lua hook call to attach a Lua function to: this will be the
+name of the Lua function. In this case, since the hook call is
+`on_rib_process_dplane_results`:
+
+.. code-block:: lua
+
+   function on_rib_process_dplane_results(ctx)
+      log.info(ctx.rinfo.zd_dest.network)
+      return {}
+
+
+The documentation for :ref:`on-rib-process-dplane-results` tells us its
+arguments. Here, the destination prefix for a route is being logged out.
+
+Scripts live in :file:`/etc/frr/scripts/` by default. This is configurable at
+compile time via ``--with-scriptdir``. It may be overridden at runtime with the
+``--scriptdir`` daemon option.
+
+The documentation for :ref:`on-rib-process-dplane-results` indicates that the
+``script`` command should be used to set the script. Assuming that the above
+function was created in :file:`/etc/frr/scripts/my_dplane_script.lua`, the
+following vtysh command sets the script for the hook call:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   script on_rib_process_dplane_results my_dplane_script
+
+
+After the script is set, when the hook call is hit, FRR will look for a
+*on_rib_process_dplane_results* function in
+:file:`/etc/frr/scripts/my_dplane_script.lua` and run it with the ``ctx`` object
+as its argument.

+Basic Setup
+============
+
+After installing FRR, some basic configuration must be completed before it is
+ready to use.
+
+Crash logs
+----------
+
+If any daemon should crash for some reason (segmentation fault, assertion
+failure, etc.), it will attempt to write a backtrace to a file located in
+:file:`/var/tmp/frr/<daemon>[-<instance>].<pid>/crashlog`.  This feature is
+not affected by any configuration options.
+
+The crashlog file's directory also contains files corresponding to per-thread
+message buffers in files named
+:file:`/var/tmp/frr/<daemon>[-<instance>].<pid>/logbuf.<tid>`.  In case of a
+crash, these may contain unwritten buffered log messages.  To show the contents
+of these buffers, pipe their contents through ``tr '\0' '\n'``.  A blank line
+marks the end of valid unwritten data (it will generally be followed by

+   #   all_wrap="/usr/bin/perf record --call-graph -"
+   # the normal daemon command is added to this at the end.
+
+Breaking this file down:
+
+::
+
+   bgpd=yes
+
+To enable a particular daemon, simply change the corresponding 'no' to 'yes'.
+Subsequent service restarts should start the daemon.
+
+::
+
+   vtysh_enable=yes
+
+As the comment says, this causes :ref:`VTYSH <vty-shell>` to apply
+configuration when starting the daemons. This is useful for a variety of
+reasons touched on in the VTYSH documentation and should generally be enabled.
+
+::
+
+   MAX_FDS=1024
+
+This allows the operator to control the number of open file descriptors
+each daemon is allowed to start with.  The current assumed value on
+most operating systems is 1024.  If the operator plans to run bgp with
+several thousands of peers then this is where we would modify FRR to
+allow this to happen.
+
+::
+
+   zebra_options=" -s 90000000 --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"
+   bgpd_options="   --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"
+   ...
+
+The next set of lines controls what options are passed to daemons when started
+from the service script. Usually daemons will have ``--daemon`` and ``-A
+<address>`` specified in order to daemonize and listen for VTY commands on a
+particular address.
+
+The remaining file content regarding `watchfrr_options` and `*_wrap` settings
+should not normally be needed;  refer to the comments in case they are.
+
+Services
+--------
+FRR daemons have their own terminal interface or VTY.  After installation, it's
+a good idea to setup each daemon's port number to connect to them. To do this
+add the following entries to :file:`/etc/services`.
+
+::
+
+   zebrasrv      2600/tcp		  # zebra service
+   zebra         2601/tcp		  # zebra vty
+   ripd          2602/tcp		  # RIPd vty
+   ripngd        2603/tcp		  # RIPngd vty
+   ospfd         2604/tcp		  # OSPFd vty
+   bgpd          2605/tcp		  # BGPd vty
+   ospf6d        2606/tcp		  # OSPF6d vty
+   ospfapi       2607/tcp		  # ospfapi
+   isisd         2608/tcp		  # ISISd vty
+   babeld        2609/tcp                 # BABELd vty
+   nhrpd         2610/tcp		  # nhrpd vty
+   pimd          2611/tcp		  # PIMd vty
+   ldpd          2612/tcp                 # LDPd vty
+   eigprd        2613/tcp                 # EIGRPd vty
+   bfdd          2617/tcp                 # bfdd vty
+   fabricd       2618/tcp                 # fabricd vty
+   vrrpd         2619/tcp                 # vrrpd vty
+
+
+If you use a FreeBSD newer than 2.2.8, the above entries are already added to
+:file:`/etc/services` so there is no need to add it. If you specify a port
+number when starting the daemon, these entries may not be needed.
+
+You may need to make changes to the config files in |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|.
+
+Systemd
+-------
+Although not installed when installing from source, FRR provides a service file
+for use with ``systemd``. It is located in :file:`tools/frr.service` in the Git
+repository. If ``systemctl status frr.service`` indicates that the FRR service
+is not found, copy the service file from the Git repository into your preferred
+location. A good place is usually ``/etc/systemd/system/``.
+
+After issuing a ``systemctl daemon-reload``, you should be able to start the
+FRR service via ``systemctl start frr``. If this fails, or no daemons are
+started. check the ``journalctl`` logs for an indication of what went wrong.
+
+Operations
+----------
+
+This section covers a few common operational tasks and how to perform them.
+
+Interactive Shell
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+FRR offers an IOS-like interactive shell called ``vtysh`` where a user can run
+individual configuration or show commands. To get into this shell, issue the
+``vtysh`` command from either a privilege user (root, or with sudo) or a user
+account that is part of the ``frrvty`` group.
+e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   root@ub18:~# vtysh
+
+   Hello, this is FRRouting (version 8.1-dev).
+   Copyright 1996-2005 Kunihiro Ishiguro, et al.
+
+   ub18#
+
+.. note::
+   The default install location for vtysh is /usr/bin/vtysh
+
+
+Restarting
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Restarting kills all running FRR daemons and starts them again. Any unsaved
+configuration will be lost.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   service frr restart
+
+.. note::
+
+   Alternatively, you can invoke the init script directly::
+
+      /etc/init.d/frr restart
+
+   Or, if using systemd::
+
+      systemctl restart frr
+
+Reloading
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+Reloading applies the differential between on-disk configuration and the
+current effective configuration of running FRR processes. This includes
+starting daemons that were previously stopped and any changes made to
+individual or unified daemon configuration files.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   service frr reload
+
+.. note::
+
+   Alternatively, you can invoke the init script directly::
+
+      /etc/init.d/frr reload
+
+   Or, if using systemd::
+
+      systemctl reload frr
+
+See :ref:`FRR-RELOAD <frr-reload>` for more about the `frr-reload.py` script.
+
+
+Starting a new daemon
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Suppose *bgpd* and *zebra* are running, and you wish to start *pimd*. In
+``/etc/frr/daemons`` make the following change:
+
+.. code-block:: diff
+
+   - pimd=no
+   + pimd=yes
+
+Then perform a reload.
+
+Currently there is no way to stop or restart an individual daemon. This is
+because FRR's monitoring program cannot currently distinguish between a crashed
+/ killed daemon versus one that has been intentionally stopped or restarted.
+The closest that can be achieved is to remove all configuration for the daemon,
+and set its line in ``/etc/frr/daemons`` to ``=no``. Once this is done, the
+daemon will be stopped the next time FRR is restarted.
+
+
+Network Namespaces
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+It is possible to run FRR in different network namespaces so it can be
+further compartmentalized (e.g. confining to a smaller subset network).
+The network namespace configuration can be used in the default FRR
+configuration pathspace or it can be used in a different pathspace
+(`-N/--pathspace`).
+
+To use FRR network namespace in the default pathspace you should add
+or uncomment the ``watchfrr_options`` line in ``/etc/frr/daemons``:
+
+.. code-block:: diff
+
+   - #watchfrr_options="--netns"
+   + watchfrr_options="--netns=<network-namespace-name>"
+
+If you want to use a different pathspace with the network namespace
+(the recommended way) you should add/uncomment the ``watchfrr_options``
+line in ``/etc/frr/<namespace>/daemons``:
+
+.. code-block:: diff
+
+   - #watchfrr_options="--netns"
+   + #watchfrr_options="--netns=<network-namespace-name>"
+   +
+   + # `--netns` argument is optional and if not provided it will
+   + # default to the pathspace name.
+   + watchfrr_options="--netns"
+
+To start FRR in the new pathspace+network namespace the initialization script
+should be called with an extra parameter:
+
+
+.. code::
+
+   /etc/init.d/frr start <pathspace-name>
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   Some Linux distributions might not use the default init script
+   shipped with FRR, in that case you might want to try running the
+   bundled script in ``/usr/lib/frr/frrinit.sh``.
+
+   On systemd you might create different units or parameterize the
+   existing one. See the man page:
+   https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html

+SHARP
+*****
+
+:abbr:`SHARP (Super Happy Advanced Routing Process)` is a daemon that provides
+miscellaneous functionality used for testing FRR and creating proof-of-concept
+labs.
+
+.. _starting-sharp:
+
+Starting SHARP
+==============
+
+Default configuration file for *sharpd* is :file:`sharpd.conf`.  The typical
+location of :file:`sharpd.conf` is |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/sharpd.conf.
+
+If the user is using integrated config, then :file:`sharpd.conf` need not be
+present and the :file:`frr.conf` is read instead.
+
+.. program:: sharpd
+
+:abbr:`SHARP` supports all the common FRR daemon start options which are
+documented elsewhere.
+
+.. _using-sharp:
+
+Using SHARP
+===========
+
+All sharp commands are under the enable node and preceded by the ``sharp``
+keyword. At present, no sharp commands will be preserved in the config.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp install routes A.B.C.D <nexthop <E.F.G.H|X:X::X:X>|nexthop-group NAME> (1-1000000) [instance (0-255)] [repeat (2-1000)] [opaque WORD]
+
+   Install up to 1,000,000 (one million) /32 routes starting at ``A.B.C.D``
+   with specified nexthop ``E.F.G.H`` or ``X:X::X:X``. The nexthop is
+   a ``NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV4`` or ``NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV6`` and must be reachable
+   to be installed into the kernel. Alternatively a nexthop-group NAME
+   can be specified and used as the nexthops.  The routes are installed into
+   zebra as ``ZEBRA_ROUTE_SHARP`` and can be used as part of a normal route
+   redistribution. Route installation time is noted in the debug
+   log. When zebra successfully installs a route into the kernel and SHARP
+   receives success notifications for all routes this is logged as well.
+   Instance (0-255) if specified causes the routes to be installed in a different
+   instance. If repeat is used then we will install/uninstall the routes the
+   number of times specified.  If the keyword opaque is specified then the
+   next word is sent down to zebra as part of the route installation.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp remove routes A.B.C.D (1-1000000)
+
+   Remove up to 1,000,000 (one million) /32 routes starting at ``A.B.C.D``. The
+   routes are removed from zebra. Route deletion start is noted in the debug
+   log and when all routes have been successfully deleted the debug log will be
+   updated with this information as well.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp data route
+
+   Allow end user doing route install and deletion to get timing information
+   from the vty or vtysh instead of having to read the log file.  This command
+   is informational only and you should look at sharp_vty.c for explanation
+   of the output as that it may change.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp label <ipv4|ipv6> vrf NAME label (0-1000000)
+
+   Install a label into the kernel that causes the specified vrf NAME table to
+   be used for pop and forward operations when the specified label is seen.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp watch <nexthop <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X>|import <A.B.C.D/M:X:X::X:X/M> [connected]
+
+   Instruct zebra to monitor and notify sharp when the specified nexthop is
+   changed. The notification from zebra is written into the debug log.
+   The nexthop or import choice chooses the type of nexthop we are asking
+   zebra to watch for us.  This choice affects zebra's decision on what
+   matches.  Connected tells zebra whether or not that we want the route
+   matched against to be a static or connected route for the nexthop keyword,
+   for the import keyword connected means exact match.  The no form of
+   the command obviously turns this watching off.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp data nexthop
+
+   Allow end user to dump associated data with the nexthop tracking that
+   may have been turned on.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp watch [vrf NAME] redistribute ROUTETYPE
+
+   Allow end user to monitor redistributed routes of ROUTETYPE
+   origin.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp lsp [update] (0-100000) nexthop-group NAME [prefix A.B.C.D/M TYPE [instance (0-255)]]
+
+   Install an LSP using the specified in-label, with nexthops as
+   listed in nexthop-group ``NAME``. If ``update`` is included, the
+   update path is used. The LSP is installed as type ZEBRA_LSP_SHARP.
+   If ``prefix`` is specified, an existing route with type ``TYPE``
+   (and optional ``instance`` id) will be updated to use the LSP.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp remove lsp (0-100000) nexthop-group NAME [prefix A.B.C.D/M TYPE [instance (0-255)]]
+
+   Remove a SHARPD LSP that uses the specified in-label, where the
+   nexthops are specified in nexthop-group ``NAME``. If ``prefix`` is
+   specified, remove label bindings from the route of type ``TYPE``
+   also.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp send opaque type (1-255) (1-1000)
+
+   Send opaque ZAPI messages with subtype ``type``. Sharpd will send
+   a stream of messages if the count is greater than one.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp send opaque unicast type (1-255) PROTOCOL [{instance (0-1000) | session (1-1000)}] (1-1000)
+
+   Send unicast opaque ZAPI messages with subtype ``type``. The
+   protocol, instance, and session_id identify a single target zapi
+   client. Sharpd will send a stream of messages if the count is
+   greater than one.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp send opaque <reg | unreg> PROTOCOL [{instance (0-1000) | session (1-1000)}] type (1-1000)
+
+   Send opaque ZAPI registration and unregistration messages for a
+   single subtype. The messages must specify a protocol daemon by
+   name, and can include optional zapi ``instance`` and ``session``
+   values.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp create session (1-1024)
+
+   Create an additional zapi client session for testing, using the
+   specified session id.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp remove session (1-1024)
+
+   Remove a test zapi client session that was created with the
+   specified session id.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp neigh discover [vrf NAME] <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X> IFNAME
+
+   Send an ARP/NDP request to trigger the addition of a neighbor in the ARP
+   table.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp import-te
+
+   Import Traffic Engineering Database produced by OSPF or IS-IS.
+
+.. clicmd:: show sharp ted [verbose|json]
+
+.. clicmd:: show sharp ted [<vertex [A.B.C.D]|edge [A.B.C.D]|subnet [A.B.C.D/M]>] [verbose|json]

+
+   Show the result of a call to the Constraint Shortest Path First (CSPF)
+   algorithm that allows to compute a path between a source and a
+   destination under various constraints. Standard Metric, TE Metric, Delay
+   and Bandwidth are supported constraints. Prior to use this function, it is
+   necessary to import a Traffic Engineering Database with `sharp import-te`
+   command (see above).
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp install seg6-routes [vrf NAME] <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X> nexthop-seg6 X:X::X:X encap X:X::X:X (1-1000000)
+
+   This command installs a route for SRv6 Transit behavior (on Linux it is
+   known as seg6 route). The count, destination, vrf, etc. have the same
+   meaning as in the ``sharp install routes`` command.  With this command,
+   sharpd will request zebra to configure seg6 route via ZEBRA_ROUTE_ADD
+   ZAPI. As in the following example.
+
+::

+
+.. clicmd:: sharp install seg6local-routes [vrf NAME] X:X::X:X nexthop-seg6local NAME ACTION ARGS.. (1-1000000)
+
+   This command installs a route for SRv6 Endpoint behavior (on Linux it is
+   known as seg6local route). The count, destination, vrf, etc. have the same
+   meaning as in the ``sharp install routes`` command.  With this command,
+   sharpd will request zebra to configure seg6local route via ZEBRA_ROUTE_ADD
+   ZAPI. As in the following example.
+
+   There are many End Functions defined in SRv6, which have been standardized
+   in RFC 8986. The current implementation supports End, End.X, End.T, End.DX4,
+   and End.DT6, which can be configured as follows.

+
+.. clicmd:: show sharp segment-routing srv6
+
+   This command shows us what SRv6 locator chunk, sharp is holding as zclient.
+   An SRv6 locator is defined for each SRv6 router, and a single locator may
+   be shared by multiple protocols.
+
+   In the FRRouting implementation, the Locator chunk get request is executed
+   by a routing protocol daemon such as sharpd or bgpd, And then Zebra
+   allocates a Locator Chunk, which is a subset of the Locator Prefix, and
+   notifies the requesting protocol daemon of this information.
+
+   This command example shows how the locator chunk of sharpd itself is
+   allocated.
+
+::
+
+   router# show segment-routing srv6 locator
+   Locator:
+   Name                 ID            2 2001:db8:2:2::/64        Up
+
+   router# show sharp segment-routing srv6
+   Locator loc1 has 1 prefix chunks
+     2001:db8:1:1::/64
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp srv6-manager get-locator-chunk
+
+   This command requests the SRv6 locator to allocate a locator chunk via ZAPI.
+   This chunk can be owned by the protocol daemon, and the chunk obtained by
+   sharpd will not be used by the SRv6 mechanism of another routing protocol.
+
+   Since this request is made asynchronously, it can be issued before the SRv6
+   locator is configured on the zebra side, and as soon as it is ready on the
+   zebra side, sharpd can check the allocated locator chunk via zapi.
+
+::
+
+   router# show segment-routing srv6 locator loc1 detail
+   Name: loc1
+   Prefix: 2001:db8:1:1::/64

+     2001:db8:1:1::/64
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp srv6-manager release-locator-chunk
+
+   This command releases a locator chunk that has already been allocated by
+   ZAPI. The freed chunk will have its owner returned to the system and will
+   be available to another protocol daemon.
+
+::

+************
+SNMP Support
+************
+
+:abbr:`SNMP (Simple Network Managing Protocol)` is a widely implemented feature
+for collecting network information from router and/or host. FRR itself does
+not support SNMP agent (server daemon) functionality but is able to connect to
+a SNMP agent using the the AgentX protocol (:rfc:`2741`) and make the
+routing protocol MIBs available through it.
+
+Note that SNMP Support needs to be enabled at compile-time and loaded as module
+on daemon startup. Refer to :ref:`loadable-module-support` on the latter.  If
+you do not start the daemons with snmp module support snmp will not work
+properly.
+
+.. _getting-and-installing-an-snmp-agent:
+
+Getting and installing an SNMP agent
+====================================
+
+The supported SNMP agent is AgentX. We recommend to use
+the latest version of `net-snmp` which was formerly known as `ucd-snmp`. It is
+free and open software and available at `http://www.net-snmp.org/ <http://www.net-snmp.org/>`_
+and as binary package for most Linux distributions.
+
+.. _net-smtp-configuration:
+
+NET-SNMP configuration
+======================
+
+Routers with a heavy amount of routes (e.g. BGP full table) might experience
+problems with a hanging vtysh from time to time, 100% CPU on the snmpd or
+even crashes of the frr daemon(s) due to stalls within AgentX. Once snmp
+agents connects they start receiving a heavy amount of SNMP data (all the
+routes) which cannot be handled quick enough. It's recommended (by several
+vendors as well) to exclude these OID's unless you really need them, which
+can be achieved by amending the default view from SNMP
+
+:file:`/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf`:
+
+::
+
+   # This is the default view
+   view all    included  .1 80
+   # Remove ipRouteTable from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21
+   # Remove ipNetToMediaTable from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22
+   # Remove ipNetToPhysicalPhysAddress from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.35
+   # Remove ipCidrRouteTable  from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24
+   # Optionally protect SNMP private/secret values
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.6.3.15
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.6.3.16
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.6.3.18
+   # Optionally allow SNMP public info (sysName, location, etc)
+   view system included  .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system
+
+
+.. _agentx-configuration:
+
+AgentX configuration
+====================
+
+.. program:: configure
+
+To enable AgentX protocol support, FRR must have been build with the
+:option:`--enable-snmp` or `--enable-snmp=agentx` option. Both the
+master SNMP agent (snmpd) and each of the FRR daemons must be configured. In
+:file:`/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf`, the ``master agentx`` directive should be added.
+In each of the FRR daemons, ``agentx`` command will enable AgentX support.
+
+:file:`/etc/snmp/zebra.conf`:
+
+::
+
+   #
+   # example access restrictions setup
+   #
+   com2sec readonly default public
+   group MyROGroup v1 readonly
+   view all included .1 80
+   access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
+   #
+   # enable master agent for AgentX subagents
+   #
+   master agentx
+
+:file:`/etc/frr/ospfd.conf:`
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+      ! ... the rest of ospfd.conf has been omitted for clarity ...
+      !
+      agentx
+      !
+
+
+Upon successful connection, you should get something like this in the log of
+each FRR daemons:
+
+::
+
+   2012/05/25 11:39:08 ZEBRA: snmp[info]: NET-SNMP version 5.4.3 AgentX subagent connected
+
+
+Then, you can use the following command to check everything works as expected:
+
+::
+
+   # snmpwalk -c public -v1 localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.14.1.1
+   OSPF-MIB::ospfRouterId.0 = IpAddress: 192.168.42.109
+   [...]
+
+
+The AgentX protocol can be transported over a Unix socket or using TCP or UDP.
+It usually defaults to a Unix socket and depends on how NetSNMP was built. If
+need to configure FRR to use another transport, you can configure it through
+:file:`/etc/snmp/frr.conf`:
+
+::
+
+   [snmpd]
+   # Use a remote master agent
+   agentXSocket tcp:192.168.15.12:705
+
+
+Here is the syntax for using AgentX:
+
+.. clicmd:: agentx

+Handling SNMP Traps
+===================
+
+To handle snmp traps make sure your snmp setup of frr works correctly as
+described in the frr documentation in :ref:`snmp-support`.
+
+The BGP4 mib will send traps on peer up/down events. These should be visible in
+your snmp logs with a message similar to:
+
+::
+
+   snmpd[13733]: Got trap from peer on fd 14
+
+To react on these traps they should be handled by a trapsink. Configure your
+trapsink by adding the following lines to :file:`/etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf`:
+
+::
+
+   # send traps to the snmptrapd on localhost
+   trapsink localhost
+
+
+This will send all traps to an snmptrapd running on localhost. You can of
+course also use a dedicated management station to catch traps. Configure the
+snmptrapd daemon by adding the following line to
+:file:`/etc/snmpd/snmptrapd.conf`:
+
+::
+
+   traphandle .1.3.6.1.4.1.3317.1.2.2 /etc/snmp/snmptrap_handle.sh
+
+
+This will use the bash script :file:`/etc/snmp/snmptrap_handle.sh` to handle
+the BGP4 traps. To add traps for other protocol daemons, lookup their
+appropriate OID from their mib. (For additional information about which traps
+are supported by your mib, lookup the mib on
+`http://www.oidview.com/mibs/detail.html <http://www.oidview.com/mibs/detail.html>`_).
+
+Make sure *snmptrapd* is started.
+
+The snmptrap_handle.sh script I personally use for handling BGP4 traps is
+below. You can of course do all sorts of things when handling traps, like sound
+a siren, have your display flash, etc., be creative ;).

+
+Static Route Commands
+=====================
+
+Static routing is a very fundamental feature of routing technology. It defines
+a static prefix and gateway, with several possible forms.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK GATEWAY [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK IFNAME [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK GATEWAY IFNAME [DISTANCE] [onlink] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK (Null0|blackhole|reject) [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] GATEWAY [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] IFNAME [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] GATEWAY IFNAME [DISTANCE] [onlink] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 route NETWORK [from SRCPREFIX] (Null0|blackhole|reject) [DISTANCE] [table TABLENO] [nexthop-vrf VRFNAME] [vrf VRFNAME]
+
+   NETWORK is destination prefix with a valid v4 or v6 network based upon
+   initial form of the command.
+   
+   GATEWAY is the IP address to use as next-hop for the prefix. Currently, it must match
+   the v4 or v6 route type specified at the start of the command.
+
+   IFNAME is the name of the interface to use as next-hop. If only IFNAME is specified
+   (without GATEWAY), a connected route will be created.
+
+   When both IFNAME and GATEWAY are specified together, it binds the route to the specified
+   interface. In this case, it is also possible to specify ``onlink`` to force the kernel
+   to consider the next-hop as "on link" on the given interface.
+
+   Alternatively, the gateway can be specified as ``Null0`` or ``blackhole`` to create a blackhole
+   route that drops all traffic. It can also be specified as ``reject`` to create an unreachable
+   route that rejects traffic with ICMP "Destination Unreachable" messages.
+
+   TABLENO is an optional parameter for namespaces that allows you to create the
+   route in a specified table associated with the vrf namespace. ``table`` will
+   be rejected if you are not using namespace based vrfs.
+   
+   ``vrf`` VRFNAME allows you to create the route in a specified vrf.
+
+   ``nexthop-vrf`` VRFNAME allows you to create a leaked route with a nexthop in the
+   specified VRFNAME. ``nexthop-vrf`` cannot be currently used with namespace based vrfs.
+   
+   The IPv6 variant allows the installation of a static source-specific route
+   with the SRCPREFIX sub command.  These routes are currently supported
+   on Linux operating systems only, and perform AND matching on packet's
+   destination and source addresses in the kernel's forwarding path. Note
+   that destination longest-prefix match is "more important" than source
+   LPM, e.g.  ``2001:db8:1::/64 from 2001:db8::/48`` will win over
+   ``2001:db8::/48 from 2001:db8:1::/64`` if both match.
+
+.. _multiple-route-command:
+
+Multiple nexthop static route
+=============================
+
+To create multiple nexthops to the same NETWORK, just reenter the same
+network statement with different nexthop information.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   ip route 10.0.0.1/32 10.0.0.2
+   ip route 10.0.0.1/32 10.0.0.3
+   ip route 10.0.0.1/32 eth0
+
+
+If there is no route to 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3, and interface eth0
+is reachable, then the last route is installed into the kernel.
+
+If zebra has been compiled with multipath support, and both 10.0.0.2 and
+10.0.0.3 are reachable, zebra will install a multipath route via both
+nexthops, if the platform supports this.
+
+::
+
+   router> show ip route
+   S>  10.0.0.1/32 [1/0] via 10.0.0.2 inactive
+       via 10.0.0.3 inactive
+     *       is directly connected, eth0
+
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   ip route 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.2
+   ip route 10.0.0.0/8 10.0.0.3
+   ip route 10.0.0.0/8 null0 255
+
+
+This will install a multihop route via the specified next-hops if they are
+reachable, as well as a high-distance blackhole route, which can be useful to
+prevent traffic destined for a prefix to match less-specific routes (e.g.
+default) should the specified gateways not be reachable. E.g.:
+
+::
+
+   router> show ip route 10.0.0.0/8
+   Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/8
+     Known via "static", distance 1, metric 0
+       10.0.0.2 inactive
+       10.0.0.3 inactive
+
+   Routing entry for 10.0.0.0/8
+     Known via "static", distance 255, metric 0
+       directly connected, Null0
+
+Also, if the user wants to configure a static route for a specific VRF, then
+a specific VRF configuration mode is available. After entering into that mode
+with :clicmd:`vrf VRF` the user can enter the same route command as before,
+but this time, the route command will apply to the VRF.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   # case with VRF
+   configure
+   vrf r1-cust1
+    ip route 10.0.0.0/24 10.0.0.2
+   exit-vrf
+
+
+SR-TE Route Commands
+====================
+
+It is possible to specify a route using a SR-TE policy configured in Zebra.
+
+e.g. to use the SR-TE policy with endpoint 6.6.6.6 and color 123 to reach the
+network 9.9.9.9/24:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+  ip route 9.9.9.9/24 6.6.6.6 color 123

+VNC and VNC-GW
+**************
+
+This chapter describes how to use :abbr:`VNC (Virtual Network Control)`
+services, including :abbr:`NVA (Network Virtualization Authority)` and
+:abbr:`VNC-GW (VNC Gateway)` functions. Background information on NVAs,
+:abbr:`NVE (Network Virtualization Edge)` s, :abbr:`UN (Underlay Network)` s,
+and :abbr:`VN (Virtual Network)` is available from the
+`IETF <https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/nvo3>`_. :abbr:`VNC-GW (VNC Gateway)` s
+support the import/export of routing information between VNC and :abbr:`CE
+(customer edge)` routers operating within a VN.  Both IP/Layer 3 (L3) VNs, and
+IP with Ethernet/Layer 2 (L2) VNs are supported.
+
+BGP, with IP VPNs and Tunnel Encapsulation, is used to distribute VN
+information between NVAs. BGP based IP VPN support is defined in :rfc:`4364`,
+and :rfc:`4659`. Encapsulation information is provided via the Tunnel
+Encapsulation Attribute, :rfc:`5512`.
+
+The protocol that is used to communicate routing and Ethernet / Layer 2 (L2)
+forwarding information between NVAs and NVEs is referred to as the Remote
+Forwarder Protocol (RFP). `OpenFlow` is an example RFP. Specific RFP
+implementations may choose to implement either a `hard-state` or `soft-state`
+prefix and address registration model. To support a `soft-state` refresh model,
+a `lifetime` in seconds is associated with all registrations and responses.
+
+The chapter also provides sample configurations for basic example scenarios.
+
+.. _configuring-vnc:
+
+Configuring VNC
+===============
+
+Virtual Network Control (:abbr:`VNC`) service configuration commands appear in
+the `router bgp` section of the BGPD configuration file
+(:ref:`bgp-configuration-examples`). The commands are broken down into the
+following areas:
+
+- :dfn:`General VNC` configuration applies to general VNC operation and is
+  primarily used to control the method used to advertise tunnel information.
+
+- :dfn:`Remote Forwarder Protocol (RFP)` configuration relates to the protocol
+  used between NVAs and NVEs.
+
+- :dfn:`VNC Defaults` provides default parameters for registered NVEs.
+
+- :dfn:`VNC NVE Group` provides for configuration of a specific set of
+  registered NVEs and overrides default parameters.
+
+- :dfn:`Redistribution` and :dfn:`Export` control VNC-GW operation, i.e., the
+  import/export of routing information between VNC and customer edge routers
+  (:abbr:`CE` s) operating within a VN.

+
+RFP Related Configuration
+-------------------------
+
+The protocol that is used to communicate routing and Ethernet / L2 forwarding
+information between NVAs and NVEs is referred to as the Remote Forwarder
+Protocol (RFP). Currently, only a simple example RFP is included in FRR.
+Developers may use this example as a starting point to integrate FRR with an
+RFP of their choosing, e.g., `OpenFlow`. The example code includes the
+following sample configuration:
+
+.. clicmd:: rfp example-config-value VALUE
+
+This is a simple example configuration parameter included as part of the RFP
+example code. VALUE must be in the range of 0 to 4294967295.
+
+.. _vnc-defaults-configuration:
+
+VNC Defaults Configuration
+--------------------------
+
+The VNC Defaults section allows the user to specify default values for
+configuration parameters for all registered NVEs.
+Default values are overridden by :ref:`vnc-nve-group-configuration`.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc defaults
+
+Enter VNC configuration mode for specifying VNC default behaviors. Use
+`exit-vnc` to leave VNC configuration mode. `vnc defaults` is optional.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   vnc defaults
+   ... various VNC defaults
+   exit-vnc
+
+
+These are the statements that can appear between ``vnc defaults`` and
+``exit-vnc``. Documentation for these statements is given in
+:ref:`vnc-nve-group-configuration`.
+

+   Exit VNC configuration mode.
+
+.. _vnc-nve-group-configuration:
+
+VNC NVE Group Configuration
+---------------------------
+
+A NVE Group corresponds to a specific set of NVEs. A Client NVE is
+assigned to an NVE Group based on whether there is a match for either
+its virtual or underlay network address against the VN and/or UN address
+prefixes specified in the NVE Group definition. When an NVE Group
+definition specifies both VN and UN address prefixes, then an NVE must
+match both prefixes in order to be assigned to the NVE Group. In the
+event that multiple NVE Groups match based on VN and/or UN addresses,
+the NVE is assigned to the first NVE Group listed in the configuration.
+If an NVE is not assigned to an NVE Group, its messages will be ignored.
+
+Configuration values specified for an NVE group apply to all
+member NVEs and override configuration values specified in the VNC
+Defaults section.
+
+**At least one `nve-group` is mandatory for useful VNC operation.**
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc nve-group NAME
+
+  Enter VNC configuration mode for defining the NVE group `name`.
+  Use `exit` or `exit-vnc` to exit group configuration mode.
+
+  .. code-block:: frr
+
+     vnc nve-group group1
+     ... configuration commands
+     exit-vnc
+
+
+The following statements are valid in an NVE group definition:
+
+.. clicmd:: l2rd NVE-ID-VALUE
+
+   Set the value used to distinguish NVEs connected to the same physical
+   Ethernet segment (i.e., at the same location) [#]_.
+
+   The nve-id subfield may be specified as either a literal value in the range
+   1-255, or it may be specified as `auto:vn`, which means to use the
+   least-significant octet of the originating NVE's VN address.
+
+.. clicmd:: prefix vn|un A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M
+
+   Specify the matching prefix for this NVE group by either virtual-network
+   address (`vn`) or underlay-network address (`un`). Either or both
+   virtual-network and underlay-network prefixes may be specified. Subsequent
+   virtual-network or underlay-network values within a `vnc nve-group`
+   `exit-vnc` block override their respective previous values.
+
+   These prefixes are used only for determining assignments of NVEs to NVE
+   Groups.
+
+.. clicmd:: rd ROUTE-DISTINGUISHER
+
+   Specify the route distinguisher for routes advertised via BGP
+   VPNs. The route distinguisher must be in one of these forms:
+
+   - ``IPv4-address:two-byte-integer``
+   - ``four-byte-autonomous-system-number:two-byte-integer``
+   - ``two-byte-autonomous-system-number:four-byte-integer``
+   - ``auto:vn:two-byte-integer``
+
+   Routes originated by NVEs in the NVE group will use the group's specified
+   `route-distinguisher` when they are advertised via BGP.  If the `auto` form
+   is specified, it means that a matching NVE has its RD set to
+   ``rd_type=IP=1:IPv4-address=VN-address:two-byte-integer``, for IPv4 VN
+   addresses and
+   ``rd_type=IP=1:IPv4-address=Last-four-bytes-of-VN-address:two-byte-integer``,
+   for IPv6 VN addresses.
+
+   If the NVE group definition does not specify a `route-distinguisher`, then
+   the default `route-distinguisher` is used.  If neither a group nor a default
+   `route-distinguisher` is configured, then the advertised RD is set to
+   ``two-byte-autonomous-system-number=0:four-byte-integer=0``.
+
+.. clicmd:: response-lifetime LIFETIME|infinite
+
+   Specify the response lifetime, in seconds, to be included in RFP response
+   messages sent to NVEs. If the value 'infinite' is given, an infinite
+   lifetime will be used.
+
+   Note that this parameter is not the same as the lifetime supplied by NVEs in
+   RFP registration messages. This parameter does not affect the lifetime value
+   attached to routes sent by this server via BGP.
+
+   If the NVE group definition does not specify a `response-lifetime`, the
+   default `response-lifetime` will be used.  If neither a group nor a default
+   `response-lifetime` is configured, the value 3600 will be used. The maximum
+   response lifetime is 2147483647.
+
+.. clicmd:: rt export RT-LIST
+
+.. clicmd:: rt import RT-LIST
+
+.. clicmd:: rt both RT-LIST
+
+   Specify route target import and export lists. `rt-list` is a
+   space-separated list of route targets, each element of which is
+   in one of the following forms:
+
+   - ``IPv4-address:two-byte-integer``
+   - ``four-byte-autonomous-system-number:two-byte-integer``
+   - ``two-byte-autonomous-system-number:four-byte-integer``
+
+   The first form, `rt export`, specifies an `export rt-list`.  The `export
+   rt-list` will be attached to routes originated by NVEs in the NVE group
+   when they are advertised via BGP.  If the NVE group definition does not
+   specify an `export rt-list`, then the default `export rt-list` is used.
+   If neither a group nor a default `export rt-list` is configured, then no
+   RT list will be sent; in turn, these routes will probably not be
+   processed by receiving NVAs.
+
+   The second form, `rt import` specifies an `import rt-list`, which is a
+   filter for incoming routes.  In order to be made available to NVEs in the
+   group, incoming BGP VPN routes must have RT lists that have at least one
+   route target in common with the group's `import rt-list`.
+
+   If the NVE group definition does not specify an import filter, then the
+   default `import rt-list` is used.  If neither a group nor a default
+   `import rt-list` is configured, there can be no RT intersections when
+   receiving BGP routes and therefore no incoming BGP routes will be
+   processed for the group.
+
+   The third, `rt both`, is a shorthand way of specifying both lists
+   simultaneously, and is equivalent to `rt export `rt-list`` followed by
+   `rt import `rt-list``.
+
+.. clicmd:: export bgp|zebra route-map MAP-NAME
+
+   Specify that the named route-map should be applied to routes being exported
+   to bgp or zebra.  This parameter is used in conjunction with
+   :ref:`configuring-export-of-routes-to-other-routing-protocols`.  This item
+   is optional.
+
+.. clicmd:: export bgp|zebra no route-map
+
+   Specify that no route-map should be applied to routes being exported to bgp
+   or zebra.  This parameter is used in conjunction with
+   :ref:`configuring-export-of-routes-to-other-routing-protocols`.  This item
+   is optional.
+
+.. clicmd:: export bgp|zebra ipv4|ipv6 prefix-list LIST-NAME
+
+   Specify that the named prefix-list filter should be applied to routes being
+   exported to bgp or zebra. Prefix-lists for ipv4 and ipv6 are independent of
+   each other. This parameter is used in conjunction with
+   :ref:`configuring-export-of-routes-to-other-routing-protocols`.  This item
+   is optional.
+
+.. clicmd:: export bgp|zebra no ipv4|ipv6 prefix-list
+
+   Specify that no prefix-list filter should be applied to routes being
+   exported to bgp or zebra. This parameter is used in conjunction with
+   :ref:`configuring-export-of-routes-to-other-routing-protocols`.  This item
+   is optional.
+
+.. _vnc-l2-group-configuration:
+
+VNC L2 Group Configuration
+--------------------------
+
+The route targets advertised with prefixes and addresses registered by an NVE
+are determined based on the NVE's associated VNC NVE Group Configuration,
+:ref:`vnc-nve-group-configuration`. Layer 2 (L2) Groups are used to override
+the route targets for an NVE's Ethernet registrations based on the Logical
+Network Identifier and label value.  A Logical Network Identifier is used to
+uniquely identify a logical Ethernet segment and is conceptually similar to the
+Ethernet Segment Identifier defined in :rfc:`7432`. Both the Logical Network
+Identifier and Label are passed to VNC via RFP prefix and address registration.
+
+Note that a corresponding NVE group configuration must be present, and that
+other NVE associated configuration information, notably RD, is not impacted by
+L2 Group Configuration.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc l2-group NAME
+
+   Enter VNC configuration mode for defining the L2 group `name`.
+   Use `exit` or `exit-vnc` to exit group configuration mode.
+
+   .. code-block:: frr
+
+       vnc l2-group group1
+         ... configuration commands
+       exit-vnc
+
+
+
+   Delete the L2 group named `name`.
+
+The following statements are valid in a L2 group definition:
+
+.. clicmd:: logical-network-id VALUE
+
+   Define the Logical Network Identifier with a value in the range of
+   0-4294967295 that identifies the logical Ethernet segment.
+
+.. clicmd:: labels LABEL-LIST
+
+
+   Add or remove labels associated with the group. `label-list` is a
+   space separated list of label values in the range of 0-1048575.
+
+.. clicmd:: rt import RT-TARGET
+
+.. clicmd:: rt export RT-TARGET
+
+.. clicmd:: rt both RT-TARGET
+
+   Specify the route target import and export value associated with the group.
+   A complete definition of these parameters is given above,
+   :ref:`vnc-nve-group-configuration`.
+
+.. _configuring-redistribution-of-routes-from-other-routing-protocols:
+
+Configuring Redistribution of Routes from Other Routing Protocols
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Routes from other protocols (including BGP) can be provided to VNC (both for
+RFP and for redistribution via BGP) from three sources: the zebra kernel
+routing process; directly from the main (default) unicast BGP RIB; or directly
+from a designated BGP unicast exterior routing RIB instance.
+
+The protocol named in the `vnc redistribute` command indicates the route
+source: `bgp-direct` routes come directly from the main (default) unicast BGP
+RIB and are available for RFP and are redistributed via BGP;
+`bgp-direct-to-nve-groups` routes come directly from a designated BGP unicast
+routing RIB and are made available only to RFP; and routes from other protocols
+come from the zebra kernel routing process.
+Note that the zebra process does not need to be active if
+only `bgp-direct` or `bgp-direct-to-nve-groups` routes are used.
+
+zebra routes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Routes originating from protocols other than BGP must be obtained
+via the zebra routing process.
+Redistribution of these routes into VNC does not support policy mechanisms
+such as prefix-lists or route-maps.
+
+bgp-direct routes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+`bgp-direct` redistribution supports policy via
+prefix lists and route-maps. This policy is applied to incoming
+original unicast routes before the redistribution translations
+(described below) are performed.
+
+Redistribution of `bgp-direct` routes is performed in one of three
+possible modes: `plain`, `nve-group`, or `resolve-nve`.
+The default mode is `plain`.
+These modes indicate the kind of translations applied to routes before
+they are added to the VNC RIB.
+
+In `plain` mode, the route's next hop is unchanged and the RD is set
+based on the next hop.
+For `bgp-direct` redistribution, the following translations are performed:
+
+- The VN address is set to the original unicast route's next hop address.
+- The UN address is NOT set. (VN->UN mapping will occur via
+  ENCAP route or attribute, based on `vnc advertise-un-method`
+  setting, generated by the RFP registration of the actual NVE)
+- The RD is set to as if auto:vn:0 were specified (i.e.,
+  `rd_type=IP=1`:`IPv4-address=VN-address`:`two-byte-integer=0`)
+- The RT list is included in the extended community list copied from the
+  original unicast route (i.e., it must be set in the original unicast route).
+
+In `nve-group` mode, routes are registered with VNC as if they came from an NVE
+in the nve-group designated in the `vnc redistribute nve-group` command. The
+following translations are performed:
+
+- The next hop/VN address is set to the VN prefix configured for the
+  redistribute nve-group.
+- The UN address is set to the UN prefix configured for the redistribute
+  nve-group.
+- The RD is set to the RD configured for the redistribute nve-group.
+- The RT list is set to the RT list configured for the redistribute nve-group.
+  If `bgp-direct` routes are being redistributed, any extended communities
+  present in the original unicast route will also be included.
+
+In `resolve-nve` mode, the next hop of the original BGP route is typically the
+address of an NVE connected router (CE) connected by one or more NVEs.
+Each of the connected NVEs will register, via RFP, a VNC host route to the CE.
+This mode may be though of as a mechanism to proxy RFP registrations of BGP
+unicast routes on behalf of registering NVEs.
+
+Multiple copies of the BGP route, one per matching NVE host route, will be
+added to VNC.  In other words, for a given BGP unicast route, each instance of
+a RFP-registered host route to the unicast route's next hop will result in an
+instance of an imported VNC route.  Each such imported VNC route will have a
+prefix equal to the original BGP unicast route's prefix, and a next hop equal
+to the next hop of the matching RFP-registered host route.  If there is no
+RFP-registered host route to the next hop of the BGP unicast route, no
+corresponding VNC route will be imported.
+
+The following translations are applied:
+
+- The Next Hop is set to the next hop of the NVE route (i.e., the
+  VN address of the NVE).
+
+- The extended community list in the new route is set to the
+  union of:
+
+- Any extended communities in the original BGP route
+
+  - Any extended communities in the NVE route
+  - An added route-origin extended community with the next hop of the
+    original BGP route
+    is added to the new route.
+    The value of the local administrator field defaults 5226 but may
+    be configured by the user via the `roo-ec-local-admin` parameter.
+
+- The Tunnel Encapsulation attribute is set to the value of the Tunnel
+  Encapsulation attribute of the NVE route, if any.
+
+
+bgp-direct-to-nve-groups routes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Unicast routes from the main or a designated instance of BGP may be
+redistributed to VNC as bgp-direct-to-nve-groups routes. These routes are NOT
+announced via BGP, but they are made available for local RFP lookup in response
+to queries from NVEs.
+
+A non-main/default BGP instance is configured using the
+`router bgp AS view NAME` command as described elsewhere in this document.
+
+In order for a route in the unicast BGP RIB to be made available to a querying
+NVE, there must already be, available to that NVE, an (interior) VNC route
+matching the next hop address of the unicast route.  When the unicast route is
+provided to the NVE, its next hop is replaced by the next hop of the
+corresponding NVE. If there are multiple longest-prefix-match VNC routes, the
+unicast route will be replicated for each.
+
+There is currently no policy (prefix-list or route-map) support for
+`bgp-direct-to-nve-groups` routes.
+
+Redistribution Command Syntax
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute ipv4|ipv6 bgp|bgp-direct|ipv6 bgp-direct-to-nve-groups|connected|kernel|ospf|rip|static
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute ipv4|ipv6 bgp-direct-to-nve-groups view VIEWNAME
+
+
+   Import (or do not import) prefixes from another routing protocols. Specify
+   both the address family to import (`ipv4` or `ipv6`) and the protocol
+   (`bgp`, `bgp-direct`, `bgp-direct-to-nve-groups`, `connected`, `kernel`,
+   `ospf`, `rip`, or `static`). Repeat this statement as needed for each
+   combination of address family and routing protocol.  Prefixes from protocol
+   `bgp-direct` are imported from unicast BGP in the same bgpd process.
+   Prefixes from all other protocols (including `bgp`) are imported via the
+   `zebra` kernel routing process.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute mode plain|nve-group|resolve-nve
+
+   Redistribute routes from other protocols into VNC using the specified mode.
+   Not all combinations of modes and protocols are supported.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute nve-group GROUP-NAME
+
+
+   When using `nve-group` mode, assign (or do not assign) the NVE group
+   `group-name` to routes redistributed from another routing protocol.
+   `group-name` must be configured using `vnc nve-group`.
+
+   The VN and UN prefixes of the nve-group must both be configured, and each
+   prefix must be specified as a full-length (/32 for IPv4, /128 for IPv6)
+   prefix.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute lifetime LIFETIME|infinite
+
+   Assign a registration lifetime, either `lifetime` seconds or `infinite`, to
+   prefixes redistributed from other routing protocols as if they had been
+   received via RFP registration messages from an NVE. `lifetime` can be any
+   integer between 1 and 4294967295, inclusive.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute resolve-nve roo-ec-local-admin 0-65536
+
+   Assign a value to the local-administrator subfield used in the
+   Route Origin extended community that is assigned to routes exported
+   under the `resolve-nve` mode. The default value is `5226`.
+
+The following four `prefix-list` and `route-map` commands may be specified
+in the context of an nve-group or not.  If they are specified in the context
+of an nve-group, they apply only if the redistribution mode is `nve-group`,
+and then only for routes being redistributed from `bgp-direct`.  If they are
+specified outside the context of an nve-group, then they apply only for
+redistribution modes `plain` and `resolve-nve`, and then only for routes
+being redistributed from `bgp-direct`.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute bgp-direct (ipv4|ipv6) prefix-list LIST-NAME
+
+   When redistributing `bgp-direct` routes,
+   specifies that the named prefix-list should be applied.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute bgp-direct no (ipv4|ipv6) prefix-list
+
+   When redistributing `bgp-direct` routes,
+   specifies that no prefix-list should be applied.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute bgp-direct route-map  MAP-NAME
+
+   When redistributing `bgp-direct` routes,
+   specifies that the named route-map should be applied.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute bgp-direct no route-map
+
+   When redistributing `bgp-direct` routes,
+   specifies that no route-map should be applied.
+
+.. _configuring-export-of-routes-to-other-routing-protocols:
+
+Configuring Export of Routes to Other Routing Protocols
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+Routes from VNC (both for RFP and for redistribution via BGP) can be provided
+to other protocols, either via zebra or directly to BGP.
+
+It is important to note that when exporting routes to other protocols, the
+downstream protocol must also be configured to import the routes.  For example,
+when VNC routes are exported to unicast BGP, the BGP configuration must include
+a corresponding `redistribute vnc-direct` statement.
+
+.. clicmd:: export bgp|zebra mode none|group-nve|registering-nve|ce
+
+   Specify how routes should be exported to bgp or zebra.  If the mode is
+   `none`, routes are not exported.  If the mode is `group-nve`, routes are
+   exported according to nve-group or vrf-policy group configuration
+   (:ref:`vnc-nve-group-configuration`): if a group is configured to allow
+   export, then each prefix visible to the group is exported with next hops set
+   to the currently-registered NVEs.  If the mode is `registering-nve`, then all
+   VNC routes are exported with their original next hops.  If the mode is `ce`,
+   only VNC routes that have an NVE connected CE Router encoded in a Route
+   Origin Extended Community are exported.  This extended community must have an
+   administrative value that matches the configured `roo-ec-local-admin` value.
+   The next hop of the exported route is set to the encoded NVE connected CE
+   Router.
+
+   The default for both bgp and zebra is mode `none`.
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc export bgp|zebra group-nve group GROUP-NAME
+
+.. clicmd:: vnc export bgp|zebra group-nve no group GROUP-NAME
+
+   When export mode is `group-nve`, export (or do not export) prefixes from the
+   specified nve-group or vrf-policy group to unicast BGP or to zebra.  Repeat
+   this statement as needed for each nve-group to be exported.  Each VNC prefix
+   that is exported will result in N exported routes to the prefix, each with a
+   next hop corresponding to one of the N NVEs currently associated with the
+   nve-group.
+
+Some commands have a special meaning under certain export modes.
+
+:clicmd:`export bgp|zebra ipv4|ipv6 prefix-list LIST-NAME`
+   When export mode is `ce` or `registering-nve`,

+
+Manual Address Control
+======================
+
+The commands in this section can be used to augment normal dynamic VNC.  The
+`add vnc` commands can be used to manually add IP prefix or Ethernet MAC
+address forwarding information. The `clear vnc` commands can be used to remove
+manually and dynamically added information.
+
+.. clicmd:: add vnc prefix (A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M) vn (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X) un (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X) [cost (0-255)] [lifetime (infinite|(1-4294967295))] [local-next-hop (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X) [local-cost (0-255)]]
+
+   Register an IP prefix on behalf of the NVE identified by the VN and UN
+   addresses. The `cost` parameter provides the administrative preference of
+   the forwarding information for remote advertisement. If omitted, it defaults
+   to 255 (lowest preference). The `lifetime` parameter identifies the period,
+   in seconds, that the information remains valid. If omitted, it defaults to
+   `infinite`. The optional `local-next-hop` parameter is used to configure a
+   nexthop to be used by an NVE to reach the prefix via a locally connected CE
+   router. This information remains local to the NVA, i.e., not passed to other
+   NVAs, and is only passed to registered NVEs. When specified, it is also
+   possible to provide a `local-cost` parameter to provide a forwarding
+   preference. If omitted, it defaults to 255 (lowest preference).
+
+.. clicmd:: add vnc mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx virtual-network-identifier (1-4294967295) vn (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X) un (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X) [prefix (A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M)] [cost (0-255)] [lifetime (infinite|(1-4294967295))]
+
+   Register a MAC address for a logical Ethernet (L2VPN) on behalf of the NVE
+   identified by the VN and UN addresses. The optional `prefix` parameter is to
+   support enable IP address mediation for the given prefix. The `cost`
+   parameter provides the administrative preference of the forwarding
+   information. If omitted, it defaults to 255. The `lifetime` parameter
+   identifies the period, in seconds, that the information remains valid. If
+   omitted, it defaults to `infinite`.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear vnc prefix (\*|A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M) (\*|[(vn|un) (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|\*) [(un|vn) (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|\*)] [mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx] [local-next-hop (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X)])
+
+   Delete the information identified by prefix, VN address, and UN address.
+   Any or all of these parameters may be wildcarded to (potentially) match more
+   than one registration. The optional `mac` parameter specifies a layer-2 MAC
+   address that must match the registration(s) to be deleted. The optional
+   `local-next-hop` parameter is used to delete specific local nexthop
+   information.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear vnc mac (\*|xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) virtual-network-identifier (\*|(1-4294967295)) (\*|[(vn|un) (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|\*) [(un|vn) (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X|\*)] [prefix (\*|A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M)])
+
+   Delete mac forwarding information. Any or all of these parameters may be
+   wildcarded to (potentially) match more than one registration. The default
+   value for the `prefix` parameter is the wildcard value `*`.
+
+.. clicmd:: clear vnc nve (\*|((vn|un) (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X) [(un|vn) (A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X)]))
+
+   Delete prefixes associated with the NVE specified by the given VN and UN
+   addresses. It is permissible to specify only one of VN or UN, in which case
+   any matching registration will be deleted. It is also permissible to specify
+   `*` in lieu of any VN or UN address, in which case all registrations will
+   match.
+
+.. _other-vnc-related-commands:
+
+Other VNC-Related Commands
+==========================
+
+Note: VNC-Related configuration can be obtained via the `show
+running-configuration` command when in `enable` mode.
+
+The following commands are used to clear and display Virtual Network Control
+related information:
+
+.. clicmd:: clear vnc counters
+
+   Reset the counter values stored by the NVA. Counter
+   values can be seen using the `show vnc` commands listed above. This
+   command is only available in `enable` mode.
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc summary
+
+   Print counter values and other general information
+   about the NVA. Counter values can be reset
+   using the `clear vnc counters` command listed below.
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc nves
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc nves vn|un ADDRESS
+
+   Display the NVA's current clients. Specifying `address` limits the output to
+   the NVEs whose addresses match `address`. The time since the NVA last
+   communicated with the NVE, per-NVE summary counters and each NVE's addresses
+   will be displayed.
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc queries
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc queries PREFIX
+
+   Display active Query information. Queries remain valid for the default
+   Response Lifetime (:ref:`vnc-defaults-configuration`) or NVE-group Response
+   Lifetime (:ref:`vnc-nve-group-configuration`). Specifying `prefix` limits
+   the output to Query Targets that fall within `prefix`.
+
+   Query information is provided for each querying NVE, and includes the Query
+   Target and the time remaining before the information is removed.
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc registrations [all|local|remote|holddown|imported]
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc registrations [all|local|remote|holddown|imported] PREFIX
+
+   Display local, remote, holddown, and/or imported registration information.
+   Local registrations are routes received via RFP, which are present in the
+   NVA Registrations Cache. Remote registrations are routes received via BGP
+   (VPN SAFIs), which are present in the NVE-group import tables. Holddown
+   registrations are local and remote routes that have been withdrawn but whose
+   holddown timeouts have not yet elapsed. Imported information represents
+   routes that are imported into NVA and are made available to querying NVEs.
+   Depending on configuration, imported routes may also be advertised via BGP.
+   Specifying `prefix` limits the output to the registered prefixes that fall
+   within `prefix`.
+
+   Registration information includes the registered prefix, the registering NVE
+   addresses, the registered administrative cost, the registration lifetime and
+   the time since the information was registered or, in the case of Holddown
+   registrations, the amount of time remaining before the information is
+   removed.
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc responses [active|removed]
+
+.. clicmd:: show vnc responses [active|removed] PREFIX
+
+   Display all, active and/or removed response information which are
+   present in the NVA Responses Cache. Responses remain valid for the
+   default Response Lifetime (:ref:`vnc-defaults-configuration`) or
+   NVE-group Response Lifetime (:ref:`vnc-nve-group-configuration`.)
+   When Removal Responses are enabled (:ref:`general-vnc-configuration`),
+   such responses are listed for the Response Lifetime. Specifying
+   `prefix` limits the output to the addresses that fall within
+   `prefix`.
+
+   Response information is provided for each querying NVE, and includes
+   the response prefix, the prefix-associated registering NVE addresses,
+   the administrative cost, the provided response lifetime and the time
+   remaining before the information is to be removed or will become inactive.
+
+.. clicmd:: show memory vnc
+
+   Print the number of memory items allocated by the NVA.

+Mesh NVA Configuration
+----------------------
+
+This example includes three NVAs, nine NVEs, and two NVE groups. Note that
+while not shown, a single physical device may support multiple logical NVEs.
+:ref:`vnc-fig-vnc-mesh` shows ``code NVA-1`` (192.168.1.100), ``NVA 2``
+(192.168.1.101), and ``NVA 3`` (192.168.1.102), which are connected in a full
+mesh. Each is a member of the autonomous system 64512. Each NVA provides VNC
+services to three NVE clients in the 172.16.0.0/16 virtual-network address
+range. The 172.16.0.0/16 address range is partitioned into two NVE groups,
+``group1`` (172.16.0.0/17) and ``group2`` (172.16.128.0/17).
+
+Each NVE belongs to either NVE group ``group1`` or NVE group ``group2``.  The
+NVEs ``NVE 1``, ``NVE 2``, ``NVE 4``, ``NVE 7``, and ``NVE 8`` are members of
+the NVE group ``group1``.  The NVEs ``NVE 3``, ``NVE 5``, ``NVE 6``, and ``NVE
+9`` are members of the NVE group ``group2``.
+
+Each NVA advertises NVE underlay-network IP addresses using the
+Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute.

+Mesh NVA and VNC-GW Configuration
+---------------------------------
+
+This example includes two NVAs, each with two associated NVEs, and two VNC-GWs,
+each supporting two CE routers physically attached to the four NVEs. Note that
+this example is showing a more complex configuration where VNC-GW is separated
+from normal NVA functions; it is equally possible to simplify the configuration
+and combine NVA and VNC-GW functions in a single FRR instance.

+.. figure:: ../figures/fig-vnc-gw.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: FRR VNC Gateway
+
+   Meshed NVEs and VNC-GWs
+
+As shown in :ref:`vnc-fig-vnc-gw`, NVAs and VNC-GWs are connected in a full iBGP
+mesh. The VNC-GWs each have two CEs configured as route-reflector clients.
+Each client provides BGP updates with unicast routes that the VNC-GW reflects
+to the other client. The VNC-GW also imports these unicast routes into VPN
+routes to be shared with the other VNC-GW and the two NVAs. This route
+importation is controlled with the ``vnc redistribute`` statements shown in the
+configuration. Similarly, registrations sent by NVEs via RFP to the NVAs are
+exported by the VNC-GWs to the route-reflector clients as unicast routes. RFP
+registrations exported this way have a next-hop address of the CE behind the
+connected (registering) NVE. Exporting VNC routes as IPv4 unicast is enabled
+with the ``vnc export`` command below.
+
+The configuration for ``VNC-GW 1`` is shown below.

+
+FRR implements VRRPv2 (:rfc:`3768`) and VRRPv3 (:rfc:`5798`). For VRRPv2, no

+
+Protocol Overview
+=================
+
+From :rfc:`5798`:
+
+   VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility
+   for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers on a LAN. The VRRP router
+   controlling the IPv4 or IPv6 address(es) associated with a virtual router is
+   called the Master, and it forwards packets sent to these IPv4 or IPv6
+   addresses. VRRP Master routers are configured with virtual IPv4 or IPv6
+   addresses, and VRRP Backup routers infer the address family of the virtual
+   addresses being carried based on the transport protocol. Within a VRRP
+   router, the virtual routers in each of the IPv4 and IPv6 address families
+   are a domain unto themselves and do not overlap. The election process
+   provides dynamic failover in the forwarding responsibility should the Master
+   become unavailable. For IPv4, the advantage gained from using VRRP is a
+   higher-availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic
+   routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host. For IPv6, the
+   advantage gained from using VRRP for IPv6 is a quicker switchover to Backup
+   routers than can be obtained with standard IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
+   mechanisms.
+
+VRRP accomplishes these goals primarily by using a virtual MAC address shared
+between the physical routers participating in a VRRP virtual router. This
+reduces churn in the neighbor tables of hosts and downstream switches and makes
+router failover theoretically transparent to these devices.
+
+FRR implements the election protocol and handles changing the operating system
+interface configuration in response to protocol state changes.
+
+As a consequence of the shared virtual MAC requirement, VRRP is currently
+supported only on Linux, as Linux is the only operating system that provides
+the necessary features in its network stack to make implementing this protocol
+feasible.
+
+When a VRRP router is acting as the Master router, FRR allows the interface(s)
+with the backed-up IP addresses to remain up and functional. When the router
+transitions to Backup state, these interfaces are set into ``protodown`` mode.
+This is an interface mode that is functionally equivalent to ``NO-CARRIER``.
+Physical drivers typically use this state indication to drop traffic on an
+interface. In the case of VRRP, the interfaces in question are macvlan devices,
+which are virtual interfaces. Since the IP addresses managed by VRRP are on
+these interfaces, this has the same effect as removing these addresses from the
+interface, but is implemented as a state flag.
+
+.. _vrrp-configuration:
+
+Configuring VRRP
+================
+
+VRRP is configured on a per-interface basis, with some global defaults
+accessible outside the interface context.
+
+.. _vrrp-system-configuration:
+
+System Configuration
+--------------------
+
+FRR's VRRP implementation uses Linux macvlan devices to to implement the shared
+virtual MAC feature of the protocol. Currently, it does not create those system
+interfaces - they must be configured outside of FRR before VRRP can be enabled
+on them.
+
+Each interface on which VRRP will be enabled must have at least one macvlan
+device configured with the virtual MAC and placed in the proper operation mode.
+The addresses backed up by VRRP are assigned to these interfaces.
+
+Suppose you have an interface ``eth0`` with the following configuration:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ ip addr show eth0
+   2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
+       link/ether 02:17:45:00:aa:aa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+       inet 10.0.2.15/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global dynamic eth0
+          valid_lft 72532sec preferred_lft 72532sec
+       inet6 fe80::17:45ff:fe00:aaaa/64 scope link
+          valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+
+Suppose that the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses you want to back up are ``10.0.2.16``
+and ``2001:db8::370:7334``, and that they will be managed by the virtual router
+with id ``5``. A macvlan device with the appropriate MAC address must be created
+before VRRP can begin to operate.
+
+If you are using ``ifupdown2``, the configuration is as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   iface eth0
+    ...
+    vrrp 5 10.0.2.16/24 2001:0db8::0370:7334/64
+
+Applying this configuration with ``ifreload -a`` will create the appropriate
+macvlan device. If you are using ``iproute2``, the equivalent configuration is:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ip link add vrrp4-2-1 link eth0 addrgenmode random type macvlan mode bridge
+   ip link set dev vrrp4-2-1 address 00:00:5e:00:01:05
+   ip addr add 10.0.2.16/24 dev vrrp4-2-1
+   ip link set dev vrrp4-2-1 up
+
+   ip link add vrrp6-2-1 link eth0 addrgenmode random type macvlan mode bridge
+   ip link set dev vrrp6-2-1 address 00:00:5e:00:02:05
+   ip addr add 2001:db8::370:7334/64 dev vrrp6-2-1
+   ip link set dev vrrp6-2-1 up
+
+In either case, the created interfaces will look like this:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   $ ip addr show vrrp4-2-1
+   5: vrrp4-2-1@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
+       link/ether 00:00:5e:00:01:05 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+       inet 10.0.2.16/24 scope global vrrp4-2-1
+          valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+       inet6 fe80::dc56:d11a:e69d:ea72/64 scope link stable-privacy
+          valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+
+   $ ip addr show vrrp6-2-1
+   8: vrrp6-2-1@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
+    link/ether 00:00:5e:00:02:05 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+    inet6 2001:db8::370:7334/64 scope global
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+    inet6 fe80::f8b7:c9dd:a1e8:9844/64 scope link stable-privacy
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+
+Using ``vrrp4-2-1`` as an example, a few things to note about this interface:
+
+- It is slaved to ``eth0``; any packets transmitted on this interface will
+  egress via ``eth0``
+- Its MAC address is set to the VRRP IPv4 virtual MAC specified by the RFC for
+  :abbr:`VRID (Virtual Router ID)` ``5``
+- The :abbr:`VIP (Virtual IP)` address ``10.0.2.16`` must not be present on
+  the parent interface ``eth0``.
+- The link local address on the interface is not derived from the interface
+  MAC
+
+First to note is that packets transmitted on this interface will egress via
+``eth0``, but with their Ethernet source MAC set to the VRRP virtual MAC. This
+is how FRR's VRRP implementation accomplishes the virtual MAC requirement on
+real hardware.
+
+Ingress traffic is a more complicated matter. Macvlan devices have multiple
+operating modes that change how ingress traffic is handled. Of relevance to
+FRR's implementation are the ``bridge`` and ``private`` modes. In ``private``
+mode, any ingress traffic on ``eth0`` (in our example) with a source MAC
+address equal to the MAC address on any of ``eth0``'s macvlan devices will be
+placed *only* on that macvlan device. This curious behavior is undesirable,
+since FRR's implementation of VRRP needs to be able to receive advertisements
+from neighbors while in Backup mode - i.e., while its macvlan devices are in
+``protodown on``. If the macvlan devices are instead set to ``bridge`` mode,
+all ingress traffic shows up on all interfaces - including ``eth0`` -
+regardless of source MAC or any other factor. Consequently, macvlans used by
+FRR for VRRP must be set to ``bridge`` mode or the protocol will not function
+correctly.
+
+As for the MAC address assigned to this interface, the last byte of the address
+holds the :abbr:`VRID (Virtual Router Identifier)`, in this case ``0x05``. The
+second to last byte is ``0x01``, as specified by the RFC for IPv4 operation.
+The IPv6 MAC address is be identical except that the second to last byte is
+defined to be ``0x02``. Two things to note from this arrangement:
+
+1. There can only be up to 255 unique Virtual Routers on an interface (only 1
+   byte is available for the VRID)
+2. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses must be assigned to different macvlan devices,
+   because they have different MAC addresses
+
+Finally, take note of the generated IPv6 link local address on the interface.
+For interfaces on which VRRP will operate in IPv6 mode, this link local
+*cannot* be derived using the usual EUI-64 method. This is because VRRP
+advertisements are sent from the link local address of this interface, and VRRP
+uses the source address of received advertisements as part of its election
+algorithm. If the IPv6 link local of a router is equivalent to the IPv6 link
+local in a received advertisement, this can cause both routers to assume the
+Master role (very bad). ``ifupdown`` knows to set the ``addrgenmode`` of the
+interface properly, but when using ``iproute2`` to create the macvlan devices,
+you must be careful to manually specify ``addrgenmode random``.
+
+A brief note on the Backup state
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+It is worth noting here that an alternate choice for the implementation of the
+Backup state, such as removing all the IP addresses assigned to the macvlan
+device or deleting their local routes instead of setting the device into
+``protodown on``, would allow the protocol to function regardless of whether
+the macvlan device(s) are set to ``private`` or ``bridge`` mode. Indeed, the
+strange behavior of the kernel macvlan driver in ``private`` mode, whereby it
+performs what may be thought of as a sort of interface-level layer 2 "NAT"
+based on source MAC, can be traced back to a patch clearly designed to
+accommodate a VRRP implementation from a different vendor. However, the
+``protodown`` based implementation allows for a configuration model in which
+FRR does not dynamically manage the addresses assigned on a system, but instead
+just manages interface state. Such a scenario was in mind when this protocol
+implementation was initially built, which is why the other choices are not
+currently present. Since support for placing macvlan devices into ``protodown``
+was not added to Linux until version 5.1, this also explains the relatively
+restrictive kernel versioning requirement.
+
+In the future other methods of implementing Backup state may be added along
+with a configuration knob to choose between them.
+
+.. _vrrp-interface-configuration:
+
+Interface Configuration
+-----------------------
+
+Continuing with the example from the previous section, we assume the macvlan
+interfaces have been properly configured with the proper MAC addresses and the
+IPvX addresses assigned.
+
+In FRR, a possible VRRPv3 configuration for this interface is:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   interface eth0
+    vrrp 5 version 3
+    vrrp 5 priority 200
+    vrrp 5 advertisement-interval 1500
+    vrrp 5 ip 10.0.2.16
+    vrrp 5 ipv6 2001:0db8::0370:7334
+
+VRRP will activate as soon as the first IPvX address configuration line is
+encountered. If you do not want this behavior, use the :clicmd:`vrrp (1-255)
+shutdown` command, and apply the ``no`` form when you are ready to activate
+VRRP.
+
+At this point executing ``show vrrp`` will display the following:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   ubuntu-bionic# show vrrp
+
+    Virtual Router ID                    5
+    Protocol Version                     3

+    Primary IP (v4)                      10.0.2.15
+    Primary IP (v6)                      fe80::9b91:7155:bf6a:d386
+    Virtual MAC (v4)                     00:00:5e:00:01:05

+    Effective Priority (v6)              200
+    Preempt Mode                         Yes
+    Accept Mode                          Yes
+    Advertisement Interval               1500 ms
+    Master Advertisement Interval (v4)   1000 ms
+    Master Advertisement Interval (v6)   1000 ms

+    State transitions (v6)               2
+    Skew Time (v4)                       210 ms
+    Skew Time (v6)                       210 ms
+    Master Down Interval (v4)            3210 ms
+    Master Down Interval (v6)            3210 ms
+    IPv4 Addresses                       1
+    ..................................   10.0.2.16
+    IPv6 Addresses                       1
+    ..................................   2001:db8::370:7334
+
+At this point, VRRP has sent gratuitous ARP requests for the IPv4 address,
+Unsolicited Neighbor Advertisements for the IPv6 address, and has asked Zebra
+to send Router Advertisements on its behalf. It is also transmitting VRRPv3
+advertisements on the macvlan interfaces.
+
+The Primary IP fields are of some interest, as the behavior may be
+counterintuitive. These fields show the source address used for VRRP
+advertisements. Although VRRPv3 advertisements are always transmitted on the
+macvlan interfaces, in the IPv4 case the source address is set to the primary
+IPv4 address on the base interface, ``eth0`` in this case. This is a protocol
+requirement, and IPv4 VRRP will not function unless the base interface has an
+IPv4 address assigned. In the IPv6 case the link local of the macvlan interface
+is used.
+
+If any misconfiguration errors are detected, VRRP for the misconfigured address
+family will not come up and the configuration issue will be logged to FRR's
+configured logging destination.
+
+Per the RFC, IPv4 and IPv6 virtual routers are independent of each other. For
+instance, it is possible for the IPv4 router to be in Backup state while the
+IPv6 router is in Master state; or for either to be completely inoperative
+while the other is operative, etc. Instances sharing the same base interface
+and VRID are shown together in the show output for conceptual convenience.
+
+To complete your VRRP deployment, configure other routers on the segment with
+the exact same system and FRR configuration as shown above. Provided each
+router receives the others' VRRP advertisements, the Master election protocol
+will run, one Master will be elected, and the other routers will place their
+macvlan interfaces into ``protodown on`` until Master fails or priority values
+are changed to favor another router.
+
+Switching the protocol version to VRRPv2 is accomplished simply by changing
+``version 3`` to ``version 2`` in the VRID configuration line. Note that VRRPv2
+does not support IPv6, so any IPv6 configuration will be rejected by FRR when
+using VRRPv2.
+
+.. note::
+
+   All VRRP routers initially start in Backup state, and wait for the
+   calculated Master Down Interval to pass before they assume Master status.
+   This prevents downstream neighbor table churn if another router is already
+   Master with higher priority, meaning this box will ultimately assume Backup
+   status once the first advertisement is received. However, if the calculated
+   Master Down Interval is high and this router is configured such that it will
+   ultimately assume Master status, then it will take a while for this to
+   happen.  This is a known issue.
+
+
+All interface configuration commands are documented below.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp (1-255) [version (2-3)]
+
+   Create a VRRP router with the specified VRID on the interface. Optionally
+   specify the protocol version. If the protocol version is not specified, the
+   default is VRRPv3.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp (1-255) advertisement-interval (10-40950)
+
+   Set the advertisement interval. This is the interval at which VRRP
+   advertisements will be sent. Values are given in milliseconds, but must be
+   multiples of 10, as VRRP itself uses centiseconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp (1-255) ip A.B.C.D
+
+   Add an IPv4 address to the router. This address must already be configured
+   on the appropriate macvlan device. Adding an IP address to the router will
+   implicitly activate the router; see :clicmd:`[no] vrrp (1-255) shutdown` to
+   override this behavior.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp (1-255) ipv6 X:X::X:X
+
+   Add an IPv6 address to the router. This address must already be configured
+   on the appropriate macvlan device. Adding an IP address to the router will
+   implicitly activate the router; see :clicmd:`[no] vrrp (1-255) shutdown` to
+   override this behavior.
+
+   This command will fail if the protocol version is set to VRRPv2, as VRRPv2
+   does not support IPv6.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp (1-255) preempt
+
+   Toggle preempt mode. When enabled, preemption allows Backup routers with
+   higher priority to take over Master status from the existing Master. Enabled
+   by default.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp (1-255) priority (1-254)
+
+   Set the router priority. The router with the highest priority is elected as
+   the Master. If all routers in the VRRP virtual router are configured with
+   the same priority, the router with the highest primary IP address is elected
+   as the Master. Priority value 255 is reserved for the acting Master router.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp (1-255) shutdown
+
+   Place the router into administrative shutdown. VRRP will not activate for
+   this router until this command is removed with the ``no`` form.
+
+.. _vrrp-global-configuration:
+
+Global Configuration
+--------------------
+
+Show commands, global defaults and debugging configuration commands.
+
+.. clicmd:: show vrrp [interface INTERFACE] [(1-255)] [json]
+
+   Shows VRRP status for some or all configured VRRP routers. Specifying an
+   interface will only show routers configured on that interface. Specifying a
+   VRID will only show routers with that VRID. Specifying ``json`` will dump
+   each router state in a JSON array.
+
+.. clicmd:: debug vrrp [{protocol|autoconfigure|packets|sockets|ndisc|arp|zebra}]
+
+   Toggle debugging logs for VRRP components.
+   If no component is specified, debugging for all components are turned on/off.
+
+   protocol
+      Logs state changes, election protocol decisions, and interface status
+      changes.
+
+   autoconfigure
+      Logs actions taken by the autoconfiguration procedures. See
+      :ref:`vrrp-autoconfiguration`.
+
+   packets
+      Logs details of ingress and egress packets. Includes packet decodes and
+      hex dumps.
+
+   sockets
+      Logs details of socket configuration and initialization.
+
+   ndisc
+      Logs actions taken by the Neighbor Discovery component of VRRP.
+
+   arp
+      Logs actions taken by the ARP component of VRRP.
+
+   zebra
+      Logs communications with Zebra.
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp default <advertisement-interval (1-4096)|preempt|priority (1-254)|shutdown>
+
+   Configure defaults for new VRRP routers. These values will not affect
+   already configured VRRP routers, but will be applied to newly configured
+   ones.
+
+.. _vrrp-autoconfiguration:
+
+Autoconfiguration
+-----------------
+
+In light of the complicated configuration required on the base system before
+VRRP can be enabled, FRR has the ability to automatically configure VRRP
+sessions by inspecting the interfaces present on the system. Since it is quite
+unlikely that macvlan devices with VRRP virtual MACs will exist on systems not
+using VRRP, this can be a convenient shortcut to automatically generate FRR
+configuration.
+
+After configuring the interfaces as described in
+:ref:`vrrp-system-configuration`, and configuring any defaults you may want,
+execute the following command:
+
+.. clicmd:: vrrp autoconfigure [version (2-3)]
+
+   Generates VRRP configuration based on the interface configuration on the
+   base system. If the protocol version is not specified, the default is VRRPv3.
+   Any existing interfaces that are configured properly for VRRP -
+   i.e. have the correct MAC address, link local address (when required), IPv4
+   and IPv6 addresses - are used to create a VRRP router on their parent
+   interfaces, with VRRP IPvX addresses taken from the addresses assigned to
+   the macvlan devices. The generated configuration appears in the output of
+   ``show run``, which can then be modified as needed and written to the config
+   file. The ``version`` parameter controls the protocol version; if using
+   VRRPv2, keep in mind that IPv6 is not supported and will not be configured.
+
+The following configuration is then generated for you:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   interface eth0
+    vrrp 5
+    vrrp 5 ip 10.0.2.16
+    vrrp 5 ipv6 2001:db8::370:7334
+
+
+VRRP is automatically activated. Global defaults, if set, are applied.
+
+You can then edit this configuration with **vtysh** as needed, and commit it by
+writing to the configuration file.
+
+
+Troubleshooting
+---------------
+
+My virtual routers are not seeing each others' advertisements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Check:
+
+- Is your kernel at least 5.1?
+- Did you set the macvlan devices to ``bridge`` mode?
+- If using IPv4 virtual addresses, does the parent of the macvlan devices have
+  an IPv4 address?
+- If using IPv6 virtual addresses, is ``addrgenmode`` correctly set to
+  ``random`` and not the default ``eui64``?
+- Is a firewall (``iptables``) or policy (``ip rule``) dropping multicast
+  traffic?
+- Do you have unusual ``sysctls`` enabled that could affect the operation of
+  multicast traffic?
+- Are you running in ESXi? See below.
+
+
+My master router is not forwarding traffic
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There's several possible causes here. If you're sure your configuration is
+otherwise correct, the following sysctl likely needs to be turned on:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.eth0.ignore_routes_with_linkdown=1
+
+Without this setting, it's possible to create topologies in which virtual
+routers holding mastership status will not forward traffic.
+
+Issue reference: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/issues/7391
+
+
+My router is running in ESXi and VRRP isn't working
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+By default, ESXi traffic security settings don't allow traffic to egress a VNIC
+that does not have the MAC address assigned to the VNIC. This breaks VRRP,
+since virtual MACs are the basis of the protocol.
+
+On ESXi before 6.7, you need to enable Promiscuous Mode in the ESXi settings.
+This is a significant security issue in some deployments so make sure you
+understand what you're doing. On 6.7 and later, you can use the MAC Learning
+feature instead, explained `here
+<https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2018/04/native-mac-learning-in-vsphere-6-7-removes-the-need-for-promiscuous-mode-for-nested-esxi.html>`_.

+
+*vtysh* provides a combined frontend to all FRR daemons in a single combined
+session. It is enabled by default at build time, but can be disabled through
+the :option:`--disable-vtysh` option to the configure script.
+
+*vtysh* has a configuration file, :file:`vtysh.conf`. The location of that
+file cannot be changed from |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC| since it contains options
+controlling authentication behavior. This file will also not be written by
+configuration-save commands, it is intended to be updated manually by an
+administrator with an external editor.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   This also means the ``hostname`` and ``banner motd`` commands (which both do
+   have effect for vtysh) need to be manually updated in :file:`vtysh.conf`.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: copy FILENAME running-config
+
+   Process and load a configuration file manually; each line in the
+   file is read and processed as if it were being typed (or piped) to
+   vtysh.
+
+
+Live logs
+=========
+
+.. clicmd:: terminal monitor [DAEMON]
+
+   Receive and display log messages.
+
+   It is not currently possible to change the minimum message priority (fixed
+   to debug) or output formatting.  These will likely be made configurable in
+   the future.
+
+   Log messages are received asynchronously and may be printed both during
+   command execution as well as while on the prompt.  They are printed to
+   stderr, unlike regular CLI output which is printed to stdout.  The intent is
+   that stdin/stdout might be driven by some script while log messages are
+   visible on stderr.  If stdout and stderr are the same file, the prompt and
+   pending input will be cleared and reprinted appropriately.
+
+   .. note::
+
+      If ``vtysh`` cannot keep up, some log messages may be lost.  The daemons
+      do **not** wait for, get blocked by, or buffer messages for ``vtysh``.
+
+
+Pager usage
+===========
+
+*vtysh* can call an external paging program (e.g. *more* or *less*) to
+paginate long output from commands.  This feature used to be enabled by
+default but is now controlled by the ``VTYSH_PAGER`` environment variable
+and the :clicmd:`terminal paginate` command:
+
+.. envvar:: VTYSH_PAGER
+
+   If set, the ``VTYSH_PAGER`` environment variable causes *vtysh* to pipe
+   output from commands through the given command.  Note that this happens
+   regardless of the length of the output.  As such, standard pager behavior
+   (particularly waiting at the end of output) tends to be annoying to the
+   user.  Using ``less -EFX`` is recommended for a better user experience.
+
+   If this environment variable is unset, *vtysh* defaults to not using any
+   pager.
+
+   This variable should be set by the user according to their preferences,
+   in their :file:`~/.profile` file.
+
+.. clicmd:: terminal paginate
+
+   Enables/disables vtysh output pagination.  This command is intended to
+   be placed in :file:`vtysh.conf` to set a system-wide default.  If this
+   is enabled but ``VTYSH_PAGER`` is not set, the system default pager
+   (likely ``more`` or ``/usr/bin/pager``) will be used.
+
+
+Permissions and setup requirements
+==================================
+
+*vtysh* connects to running daemons through Unix sockets located in
+|INSTALL_PREFIX_STATE|. Running vtysh thus requires access to that directory,
+plus membership in the |INSTALL_VTY_GROUP| group (which is the group that the
+daemons will change ownership of their sockets to).
+
+To restrict access to FRR configuration, make sure no unauthorized users are
+members of the |INSTALL_VTY_GROUP| group.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   VTYSH implements a CLI option ``-u, --user`` that disallows entering the
+   characters "en" on the command line, which ideally restricts access to
+   configuration commands. However, VTYSH was never designed to be a privilege
+   broker and is not built using secure coding practices. No guarantees of
+   security are provided for this option and under no circumstances should this
+   option be used to provide any semblance of security or read-only access to
+   FRR.
+
+PAM support (experimental)
+--------------------------
+
+vtysh has working (but rather useless) PAM support. It will perform an
+"authenticate" PAM call using |PACKAGE_NAME| as service name. No other
+(accounting, session, password change) calls will be performed by vtysh.
+
+Users using vtysh still need to have appropriate access to the daemons' VTY
+sockets, usually by being member of the |INSTALL_VTY_GROUP| group. If they
+have this membership, PAM support is useless since they can connect to daemons
+and issue commands using some other tool. Alternatively, the *vtysh* binary
+could be made SGID (set group ID) to the |INSTALL_VTY_GROUP| group.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   No security guarantees are made for this configuration.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: username USERNAME nopassword
+
+  If PAM support is enabled at build-time, this command allows disabling the
+  use of PAM on a per-user basis. If vtysh finds that an user is trying to
+  use vtysh and a "nopassword" entry is found, no calls to PAM will be made
+  at all.
+
+
+.. _integrated-configuration-mode:
+
+Integrated configuration mode
+=============================
+
+Integrated configuration mode uses a single configuration file,
+:file:`frr.conf`, for all daemons. This replaces the individual files like
+:file:`zebra.conf` or :file:`bgpd.conf`.
+
+:file:`frr.conf` is located in |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|. All daemons check for the
+existence of this file at startup, and if it exists will not load their
+individual configuration files. Instead, ``vtysh -b`` must be invoked to
+process :file:`frr.conf` and apply its settings to the individual daemons.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   *vtysh -b* must also be executed after restarting any daemon.
+
+
+Configuration saving, file ownership and permissions
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+The :file:`frr.conf` file is not written by any of the daemons; instead *vtysh*
+contains the necessary logic to collect configuration from all of the daemons,
+combine it and write it out.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Daemons must be running for *vtysh* to be able to collect their
+   configuration. Any configuration from non-running daemons is permanently
+   lost after doing a configuration save.
+
+Since the *vtysh* command may be running as ordinary user on the system,
+configuration writes will be tried through *watchfrr*, using the ``write
+integrated`` command internally. Since *watchfrr* is running as superuser,
+*vtysh* is able to ensure correct ownership and permissions on
+:file:`frr.conf`.
+
+If *watchfrr* is not running or the configuration write fails, *vtysh* will
+attempt to directly write to the file. This is likely to fail if running as
+unprivileged user; alternatively it may leave the file with incorrect owner or
+permissions.
+
+Writing the configuration can be triggered directly by invoking *vtysh -w*.
+This may be useful for scripting. Note this command should be run as either the
+superuser or the FRR user.
+
+We recommend you do not mix the use of the two types of files.
+
+.. clicmd:: service integrated-vtysh-config
+
+
+   Control whether integrated :file:`frr.conf` file is written when
+   'write file' is issued.
+
+   These commands need to be placed in :file:`vtysh.conf` to have any effect.
+   Note that since :file:`vtysh.conf` is not written by FRR itself, they
+   therefore need to be manually placed in that file.
+
+   This command has 3 states:
+
+
+   service integrated-vtysh-config
+      *vtysh* will always write :file:`frr.conf`.
+
+
+   no service integrated-vtysh-config
+      *vtysh* will never write :file:`frr.conf`; instead it will ask
+      daemons to write their individual configuration files.
+
+   Neither option present (default)
+      *vtysh* will check whether :file:`frr.conf` exists. If it does,
+      configuration writes will update that file. Otherwise, writes are performed
+      through the individual daemons.
+
+   This command is primarily intended for packaging/distribution purposes, to
+   preset one of the two operating modes and ensure consistent operation across
+   installations.
+
+.. clicmd:: write integrated
+

+Weighted ECMP using BGP link bandwidth
+======================================
+
+.. _features-of-wecmp-linkbw:
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+In normal equal cost multipath (ECMP), the route to a destination has
+multiple next hops and traffic is expected to be equally distributed
+across these next hops. In practice, flow-based hashing is used so that
+all traffic associated with a particular flow uses the same next hop,
+and by extension, the same path across the network.
+
+Weighted ECMP using BGP link bandwidth introduces support for network-wide
+unequal cost multipathing (UCMP) to an IP destination. The unequal cost
+load balancing is implemented by the forwarding plane based on the weights
+associated with the next hops of the IP prefix. These weights are computed
+based on the bandwidths of the corresponding multipaths which are encoded
+in the ``BGP link bandwidth extended community`` as specified in
+[Draft-IETF-idr-link-bandwidth]_. Exchange of an appropriate BGP link
+bandwidth value for a prefix across the network results in network-wide
+unequal cost multipathing.
+
+One of the primary use cases of this capability is in the data center when
+a service (represented by its anycast IP) has an unequal set of resources
+across the regions (e.g., PODs) of the data center and the network itself
+provides the load balancing function instead of an external load balancer.
+Refer to [Draft-IETF-mohanty-bess-ebgp-dmz]_ and :rfc:`7938` for details
+on this use case. This use case is applicable in a pure L3 network as
+well as in a EVPN network.
+
+The traditional use case for BGP link bandwidth to load balance traffic
+to the exit routers in the AS based on the bandwidth of their external
+eBGP peering links is also supported.
+
+
+Design Principles
+-----------------
+
+Next hop weight computation and usage
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+As described, in UCMP, there is a weight associated with each next hop of an
+IP prefix, and traffic is expected to be distributed across the next hops in
+proportion to their weight. The weight of a next hop is a simple factoring
+of the bandwidth of the corresponding path against the total bandwidth of
+all multipaths, mapped to the range 1 to 100. What happens if not all the
+paths in the multipath set have link bandwidth associated with them? In such
+a case, in adherence to [Draft-IETF-idr-link-bandwidth]_, the behavior
+reverts to standard ECMP among all the multipaths, with the link bandwidth
+being effectively ignored.
+
+Note that there is no change to either the BGP best path selection algorithm
+or to the multipath computation algorithm; the mapping of link bandwidth to
+weight happens at the time of installation of the route in the RIB.
+
+If data forwarding is implemented by means of the Linux kernel, the next hop’s
+weight is used in the hash calculation. The kernel uses the Hash threshold
+algorithm and use of the next hop weight is built into it; next hops need
+not be expanded to achieve UCMP. UCMP for IPv4 is available in older Linux
+kernels too, while UCMP for IPv6 is available from the 4.16 kernel onwards.
+
+If data forwarding is realized in hardware, common implementations expand
+the next hops (i.e., they are repeated) in the ECMP container in proportion
+to their weight. For example, if the weights associated with 3 next hops for
+a particular route are 50, 25 and 25 and the ECMP container has a size of 16
+next hops, the first next hop will be repeated 8 times and the other 2 next
+hops repeated 4 times each. Other implementations are also possible.
+
+Unequal cost multipath across a network
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For the use cases listed above, it is not sufficient to support UCMP on just
+one router (e.g., egress router), or individually, on multiple routers; UCMP
+must be deployed across the entire network. This is achieved by employing the
+BGP link-bandwidth extended community.
+
+At the router which originates the BGP link bandwidth, there has to be user
+configuration to trigger it, which is described below. Receiving routers
+would use the received link bandwidth from their downstream routers to
+determine the next hop weight as described in the earlier section. Further,
+if the received link bandwidth is a transitive attribute, it would be
+propagated to eBGP peers, with the additional change that if the next hop
+is set to oneself, the cumulative link bandwidth of all downstream paths
+is propagated to other routers. In this manner, the entire network will
+know how to distribute traffic to an anycast service across the network.
+
+The BGP link-bandwidth extended community is encoded in bytes-per-second.
+In the use case where UCMP must be based on the number of paths, a reference
+bandwidth of 1 Mbps is used. So, for example, if there are 4 equal cost paths
+to an anycast IP, the encoded bandwidth in the extended community will be
+500,000. The actual value itself doesn’t matter as long as all routers
+originating the link-bandwidth are doing it in the same way.
+
+
+Configuration Guide
+-------------------
+
+The configuration for weighted ECMP using BGP link bandwidth requires
+one essential step - using a route-map to inject the link bandwidth
+extended community. An additional option is provided to control the
+processing of received link bandwidth.
+
+Injecting link bandwidth into the network
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+At the "entry point" router that is injecting the prefix to which weighted
+load balancing must be performed, a route-map must be configured to
+attach the link bandwidth extended community.
+
+For the use case of providing weighted load balancing for an anycast service,
+this configuration will typically need to be applied at the TOR or Leaf
+router that is connected to servers which provide the anycast service and
+the bandwidth would be based on the number of multipaths for the destination.
+
+For the use case of load balancing to the exit router, the exit router should
+be configured with the route map specifying the a bandwidth value that
+corresponds to the bandwidth of the link connecting to its eBGP peer in the
+adjoining AS. In addition, the link bandwidth extended community must be
+explicitly configured to be non-transitive.
+
+The complete syntax of the route-map set command can be found at
+:ref:`bgp-extended-communities-in-route-map`
+
+This route-map is supported only at two attachment points:
+(a) the outbound route-map attached to a peer or peer-group, per address-family
+(b) the EVPN advertise route-map used to inject IPv4 or IPv6 unicast routes
+into EVPN as type-5 routes.
+
+Since the link bandwidth origination is done by using a route-map, it can
+be constrained to certain prefixes (e.g., only for anycast services) or it
+can be generated for all prefixes. Further, when the route-map is used in
+the neighbor context, the link bandwidth usage can be constrained to certain
+peers only.
+
+A sample configuration is shown below and illustrates link bandwidth
+advertisement towards the "SPINE" peer-group for anycast IPs in the
+range 192.168.x.x
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   ip prefix-list anycast_ip seq 10 permit 192.168.0.0/16 le 32
+   route-map anycast_ip permit 10
+    match ip address prefix-list anycast_ip
+    set extcommunity bandwidth num-multipaths
+   route-map anycast_ip permit 20
+   !
+   router bgp 65001
+    neighbor SPINE peer-group
+    neighbor SPINE remote-as external
+    neighbor 172.16.35.1 peer-group SPINE
+    neighbor 172.16.36.1 peer-group SPINE
+    !
+    address-family ipv4 unicast
+     network 110.0.0.1/32
+     network 192.168.44.1/32
+     neighbor SPINE route-map anycast_ip out
+    exit-address-family
+   !
+
+
+Controlling link bandwidth processing on the receiver
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There is no configuration necessary to process received link bandwidth and
+translate it into the weight associated with the corresponding next hop;
+that happens by default. If some of the multipaths do not have the link
+bandwidth extended community, the default behavior is to revert to normal
+ECMP as recommended in [Draft-IETF-idr-link-bandwidth]_.
+
+The operator can change these behaviors with the following configuration:
+
+.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath bandwidth <ignore | skip-missing | default-weight-for-missing>
+
+The different options imply behavior as follows:
+
+- ignore: Ignore link bandwidth completely for route installation
+  (i.e.,  do regular ECMP,  not weighted)
+- skip-missing: Skip paths without link bandwidth and do UCMP among
+  the others (if at least some paths have link-bandwidth)
+- default-weight-for-missing: Assign a low default weight (value 1)
+  to paths not having link bandwidth
+
+This configuration is per BGP instance similar to other BGP route-selection
+controls; it operates on both IPv4-unicast and IPv6-unicast routes in that
+instance. In an EVPN network, this configuration (if required) should be
+implemented in the tenant VRF and is again applicable for IPv4-unicast and
+IPv6-unicast, including the ones sourced from EVPN type-5 routes.
+
+A sample snippet of FRR configuration on a receiver to skip paths without
+link bandwidth and do weighted ECMP among the other paths (if some of them
+have link bandwidth) is as shown below.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   router bgp 65021
+    bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax
+    bgp bestpath bandwidth skip-missing
+    neighbor LEAF peer-group
+    neighbor LEAF remote-as external
+    neighbor 172.16.35.2 peer-group LEAF
+    neighbor 172.16.36.2 peer-group LEAF
+    !
+    address-family ipv4 unicast
+     network 130.0.0.1/32
+    exit-address-family
+   !
+
+
+Stopping the propagation of the link bandwidth outside a domain
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The link bandwidth extended community will get automatically propagated
+with the prefix to EBGP peers, if it is encoded as a transitive attribute
+by the originator. If this propagation has to be stopped outside of a
+particular domain (e.g., stopped from being propagated to routers outside
+of the data center core network), the mechanism available is to disable
+the advertisement of all BGP extended communities on the specific peering/s.
+In other words, the propagation cannot be blocked just for the link bandwidth
+extended community. The configuration to disable all extended communities
+can be applied to a peer or peer-group (per address-family).
+
+Of course, the other common way to stop the propagation of the link bandwidth
+outside the domain is to block the prefixes themselves from being advertised
+and possibly, announce only an aggregate route. This would be quite common
+in a EVPN network.
+
+BGP link bandwidth and UCMP monitoring & troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Existing operational commands to display the BGP routing table for a specific
+prefix will show the link bandwidth extended community also, if present.
+
+An example of an IPv4-unicast route received with the link bandwidth
+attribute from two peers is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   CLI# show bgp ipv4 unicast 192.168.10.1/32
+   BGP routing table entry for 192.168.10.1/32
+   Paths: (2 available, best #2, table default)
+     Advertised to non peer-group peers:
+     l1(swp1) l2(swp2) l3(swp3) l4(swp4)
+     65002
+       fe80::202:ff:fe00:1b from l2(swp2) (110.0.0.2)
+       (fe80::202:ff:fe00:1b) (used)
+         Origin IGP, metric 0, valid, external, multipath, bestpath-from-AS 65002
+         Extended Community: LB:65002:125000000 (1000.000 Mbps)
+         Last update: Thu Feb 20 18:34:16 2020
+
+     65001
+       fe80::202:ff:fe00:15 from l1(swp1) (110.0.0.1)
+       (fe80::202:ff:fe00:15) (used)
+         Origin IGP, metric 0, valid, external, multipath, bestpath-from-AS 65001, best (Older Path)
+         Extended Community: LB:65001:62500000 (500.000 Mbps)
+         Last update: Thu Feb 20 18:22:34 2020
+
+The weights associated with the next hops of a route can be seen by querying
+the RIB for a specific route.
+
+For example, the next hop weights corresponding to the link bandwidths in the
+above example is illustrated below:
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   spine1# show ip route 192.168.10.1/32
+   Routing entry for 192.168.10.1/32
+     Known via "bgp", distance 20, metric 0, best
+     Last update 00:00:32 ago
+     * fe80::202:ff:fe00:1b, via swp2, weight 66
+     * fe80::202:ff:fe00:15, via swp1, weight 33
+
+For troubleshooting, existing debug logs ``debug bgp updates``,
+``debug bgp bestpath <prefix>``, ``debug bgp zebra`` and
+``debug zebra kernel`` can be used.
+
+A debug log snippet when ``debug bgp zebra`` is enabled and a route is
+installed by BGP in the RIB with next hop weights is shown below:
+
+.. code-block:: frr

+Zebra
+*****
+
+*zebra* is an IP routing manager. It provides kernel routing
+table updates, interface lookups, and redistribution of routes between
+different routing protocols.
+
+.. _invoking-zebra:
+
+Invoking zebra
+==============
+
+Besides the common invocation options (:ref:`common-invocation-options`), the
+*zebra* specific invocation options are listed below.
+
+.. program:: zebra
+
+.. option:: -b, --batch
+
+   Runs in batch mode. *zebra* parses configuration file and terminates
+   immediately.
+
+.. option:: -K TIME, --graceful_restart TIME
+
+   If this option is specified, the graceful restart time is TIME seconds.
+   Zebra, when started, will read in routes.  Those routes that Zebra
+   identifies that it was the originator of will be swept in TIME seconds.
+   If no time is specified then we will sweep those routes immediately.
+   Under the \*BSD's, there is no way to properly store the originating
+   route and the route types in this case will show up as a static route
+   with an admin distance of 255.
+
+.. option:: -r, --retain
+
+   When program terminates, do not flush routes installed by *zebra* from the
+   kernel.
+
+.. option:: -e X, --ecmp X
+
+   Run zebra with a limited ecmp ability compared to what it is compiled to.
+   If you are running zebra on hardware limited functionality you can
+   force zebra to limit the maximum ecmp allowed to X.  This number
+   is bounded by what you compiled FRR with as the maximum number.
+
+.. option:: -n, --vrfwnetns
+
+   When *Zebra* starts with this option, the VRF backend is based on Linux
+   network namespaces. That implies that all network namespaces discovered by
+   ZEBRA will create an associated VRF. The other daemons will operate on the VRF
+   VRF defined by *Zebra*, as usual.
+
+   .. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf`
+
+.. option:: -z <path_to_socket>, --socket <path_to_socket>
+
+   If this option is supplied on the cli, the path to the zebra
+   control socket(zapi), is used.  This option overrides a -N <namespace>
+   option if handed to it on the cli.
+
+.. option:: --v6-rr-semantics
+
+   The linux kernel is receiving the ability to use the same route
+   replacement semantics for v6 that v4 uses.  If you are using a
+   kernel that supports this functionality then run *Zebra* with this
+   option and we will use Route Replace Semantics instead of delete
+   than add.
+
+.. option:: --asic-offload [notify_on_offload|notify_on_ack]
+
+   The linux kernel has the ability to use asic-offload ( see switchdev
+   development ).  When the operator knows that FRR will be working in
+   this way, allow them to specify this with FRR.  At this point this
+   code only supports asynchronous notification of the offload state.
+   In other words the initial ACK received for linux kernel installation
+   does not give zebra any data about what the state of the offload
+   is.  This option takes the optional paramegers notify_on_offload
+   or notify_on_ack.  This signals to zebra to notify upper level
+   protocols about route installation/update on ack received from
+   the linux kernel or from offload notification.
+
+.. option:: -s <SIZE>, --nl-bufsize <SIZE>
+
+   Allow zebra to modify the default receive buffer size to SIZE
+   in bytes.  Under \*BSD only the -s option is available.
+
+.. _interface-commands:
+
+Configuration Addresses behaviour
+=================================
+
+At startup, *Zebra* will first discover the underlying networking objects
+from the operating system. This includes interfaces, addresses of
+interfaces, static routes, etc. Then, it will read the configuration
+file, including its own interface addresses, static routes, etc. All this
+information comprises the operational context from *Zebra*. But
+configuration context from *Zebra* will remain the same as the one from
+:file:`zebra.conf` config file. As an example, executing the following
+:clicmd:`show running-config` will reflect what was in :file:`zebra.conf`.
+In a similar way, networking objects that are configured outside of the
+*Zebra* like *iproute2* will not impact the configuration context from
+*Zebra*. This behaviour permits you to continue saving your own config
+file, and decide what is really to be pushed on the config file, and what
+is dependent on the underlying system.
+Note that inversely, from *Zebra*, you will not be able to delete networking
+objects that were previously configured outside of *Zebra*.

+
+
+.. clicmd:: ip address LOCAL-ADDR peer PEER-ADDR/PREFIX
+
+
+   Configure an IPv4 Point-to-Point address on the interface. (The concept of
+   PtP addressing does not exist for IPv6.)
+
+   ``local-addr`` has no subnet mask since the local side in PtP addressing is

+   setups), though generally /32s are used.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: description DESCRIPTION ...
+
+   Set description for the interface.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: mpls enable
+
+   Enable or disable mpls kernel processing on the interface, for linux.  Interfaces
+   configured with mpls will not automatically turn on if mpls kernel modules do not
+   happen to be loaded.  This command will fail on 3.X linux kernels and does not
+   work on non-linux systems at all.
+

+   Enable or disable multicast flag for the interface.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: bandwidth (1-10000000)

+   configuration.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: link-detect
+
+
+   Enable or disable link-detect on platforms which support this. Currently only

+   Specifies the remote ASBR IP address and Autonomous System (AS) number
+   for InterASv2 link in OSPF (RFC5392).  Note that this option is not yet
+   supported for ISIS (RFC5316).
+
+Global Commands
+------------------------
+
+.. clicmd:: zebra protodown reason-bit (0-31)
+
+   This command is only supported for linux and a kernel > 5.1.
+   Change reason-bit frr uses for setting protodown. We default to 7, but
+   if another userspace app ever conflicts with this, you can change it here.
+   The descriptor for this bit should exist in :file:`/etc/iproute2/protodown_reasons.d/`
+   to display with :clicmd:`ip -d link show`.
+
+Nexthop Tracking
+================
+
+Nexthop tracking doesn't resolve nexthops via the default route by default.
+Allowing this might be useful when e.g. you want to allow BGP to peer across
+the default route.
+
+.. clicmd:: zebra nexthop-group keep (1-3600)
+
+   Set the time that zebra will keep a created and installed nexthop group
+   before removing it from the system if the nexthop group is no longer
+   being used.  The default time is 180 seconds.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip nht resolve-via-default
+
+   Allow IPv4 nexthop tracking to resolve via the default route. This parameter
+   is configured per-VRF, so the command is also available in the VRF subnode.
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 nht resolve-via-default
+
+   Allow IPv6 nexthop tracking to resolve via the default route. This parameter
+   is configured per-VRF, so the command is also available in the VRF subnode.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip nht [vrf NAME] [A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X] [mrib]
+
+   Show nexthop tracking status for address resolution.  If vrf is not specified
+   then display the default vrf.  If ``all`` is specified show all vrf address
+   resolution output.  If an ipv4 or ipv6 address is not specified then display
+   all addresses tracked, else display the requested address.  The mrib keyword
+   indicates that the operator wants to see the multicast rib address resolution
+   table.  An alternative form of the command is ``show ip import-check`` and this
+   form of the command is deprecated at this point in time.
+
+PBR dataplane programming
+=========================
+
+Some dataplanes require the PBR nexthop to be resolved into a SMAC, DMAC and
+outgoing interface
+
+.. clicmd:: pbr nexthop-resolve
+
+   Resolve PBR nexthop via ip neigh tracking
+
+Administrative Distance
+=======================
+
+Administrative distance allows FRR to make decisions about what routes
+should be installed in the rib based upon the originating protocol.
+The lowest Admin Distance is the route selected.  This is purely a
+subjective decision about ordering and care has been taken to choose
+the same distances that other routing suites have chosen.
+
++------------+-----------+
+| Protocol   | Distance  |
++------------+-----------+
+| System     | 0         |
++------------+-----------+
+| Kernel     | 0         |
++------------+-----------+

++------------+-----------+
+
+An admin distance of 255 indicates to Zebra that the route should not be
+installed into the Data Plane.  Additionally routes with an admin distance
+of 255 will not be redistributed.
+
+Zebra does treat Kernel routes as special case for the purposes of Admin
+Distance.  Upon learning about a route that is not originated by FRR
+we read the metric value as a uint32_t.  The top byte of the value
+is interpreted as the Administrative Distance and the low three bytes
+are read in as the metric.  This special case is to facilitate VRF
+default routes.
+
+Route Replace Semantics
+=======================
+
+When using the Linux Kernel as a forwarding plane, routes are installed
+with a metric of 20 to the kernel.  Please note that the kernel's metric
+value bears no resemblence to FRR's RIB metric or admin distance.  It
+merely is a way for the Linux Kernel to decide which route to use if it
+has multiple routes for the same prefix from multiple sources.  An example
+here would be if someone else was running another routing suite besides
+FRR at the same time, the kernel must choose what route to use to forward
+on.  FRR choose the value of 20 because of two reasons.  FRR wanted a
+value small enough to be chosen but large enough that the operator could
+allow route prioritization by the kernel when multiple routing suites are
+being run and FRR wanted to take advantage of Route Replace semantics that
+the linux kernel offers.  In order for Route Replacement semantics to
+work FRR must use the same metric when issuing the replace command.
+Currently FRR only supports Route Replace semantics using the Linux
+Kernel.
+
+.. _zebra-vrf:
+
+Virtual Routing and Forwarding
+==============================
+
+FRR supports :abbr:`VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding)`. VRF is a way to
+separate networking contexts on the same machine. Those networking contexts are
+associated with separate interfaces, thus making it possible to associate one
+interface with a specific VRF.
+
+VRF can be used, for example, when instantiating per enterprise networking
+services, without having to instantiate the physical host machine or the
+routing management daemons for each enterprise. As a result, interfaces are
+separate for each set of VRF, and routing daemons can have their own context
+for each VRF.
+
+This conceptual view introduces the *Default VRF* case. If the user does not
+configure any specific VRF, then by default, FRR uses the *Default VRF*. The
+name "default" is used to refer to this VRF in various CLI commands and YANG
+models. It is possible to change that name by passing the ``-o`` option to all
+daemons, for example, one can use ``-o vrf0`` to change the name to "vrf0".
+The easiest way to pass the same option to all daemons is to use the
+``frr_global_options`` variable in the
+:ref:`Daemons Configuration File <daemons-configuration-file>`.
+
+Configuring VRF networking contexts can be done in various ways on FRR. The VRF
+interfaces can be configured by entering in interface configuration mode
+:clicmd:`interface IFNAME vrf VRF`.
+
+A VRF backend mode is chosen when running *Zebra*.
+
+If no option is chosen, then the *Linux VRF* implementation as references in
+https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt will be mapped over
+the *Zebra* VRF. The routing table associated to that VRF is a Linux table
+identifier located in the same *Linux network namespace* where *Zebra* started.
+Please note when using the *Linux VRF* routing table it is expected that a
+default Kernel route will be installed that has a metric as outlined in the
+www.kernel.org doc above.  The Linux Kernel does table lookup via a combination
+of rule application of the rule table and then route lookup of the specified
+table.  If no route match is found then the next applicable rule is applied
+to find the next route table to use to look for a route match.  As such if
+your VRF table does not have a default blackhole route with a high metric
+VRF route lookup will leave the table specified by the VRF, which is undesirable.
+
+If the :option:`-n` option is chosen, then the *Linux network namespace* will
+be mapped over the *Zebra* VRF. That implies that *Zebra* is able to configure
+several *Linux network namespaces*.  The routing table associated to that VRF
+is the whole routing tables located in that namespace. For instance, this mode
+matches OpenStack Network Namespaces. It matches also OpenFastPath. The default
+behavior remains Linux VRF which is supported by the Linux kernel community,
+see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt.
+
+Because of that difference, there are some subtle differences when running some
+commands in relationship to VRF. Here is an extract of some of those commands:
+
+.. clicmd:: vrf VRF
+
+   This command is available on configuration mode. By default, above command
+   permits accessing the VRF configuration mode. This mode is available for
+   both VRFs. It is to be noted that *Zebra* does not create Linux VRF.
+   The network administrator can however decide to provision this command in
+   configuration file to provide more clarity about the intended configuration.
+
+.. clicmd:: netns NAMESPACE
+
+   This command is based on VRF configuration mode. This command is available
+   when *Zebra* is run in :option:`-n` mode. This command reflects which *Linux
+   network namespace* is to be mapped with *Zebra* VRF. It is to be noted that
+   *Zebra* creates and detects added/suppressed VRFs from the Linux environment
+   (in fact, those managed with iproute2). The network administrator can however
+   decide to provision this command in configuration file to provide more clarity
+   about the intended configuration.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF
+
+   The show command permits dumping the routing table associated to the VRF. If
+   *Zebra* is launched with default settings, this will be the ``TABLENO`` of
+   the VRF configured on the kernel, thanks to information provided in
+   https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt. If *Zebra* is
+   launched with :option:`-n` option, this will be the default routing table of
+   the *Linux network namespace* ``VRF``.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF table TABLENO
+
+   The show command is only available with :option:`-n` option. This command
+   will dump the routing table ``TABLENO`` of the *Linux network namespace*
+   ``VRF``.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF tables
+
+   This command will dump the routing tables within the vrf scope. If ``vrf all``
+   is executed, all routing tables will be dumped.
+
+.. clicmd:: show <ip|ipv6> route summary [vrf VRF] [table TABLENO] [prefix]
+
+   This command will dump a summary output of the specified VRF and TABLENO
+   combination.  If neither VRF or TABLENO is specified FRR defaults to
+   the default vrf and default table.  If prefix is specified dump the
+   number of prefix routes.
+
+.. _zebra-table-allocation:
+
+Table Allocation
+================
+
+Some services like BGP flowspec allocate routing tables to perform policy
+routing based on netfilter criteria and IP rules. In order to avoid
+conflicts between VRF allocated routing tables and those services, Zebra
+proposes to define a chunk of routing tables to use by other services.
+
+Allocation configuration can be done like below, with the range of the
+chunk of routing tables to be used by the given service.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip table range <STARTTABLENO> <ENDTABLENO>
+
+.. _zebra-ecmp:
+
+ECMP
+====
+
+FRR supports ECMP as part of normal operations and is generally compiled
+with a limit of 64 way ECMP.  This of course can be modified via configure
+options on compilation if the end operator desires to do so.  Individual
+protocols each have their own way of dictating ECMP policy and their
+respective documentation should be read.
+
+ECMP can be inspected in zebra by doing a ``show ip route X`` command.

+
+In this example we have 16 way ecmp for the 4.4.4.4/32 route.  The ``*`` character
+tells us that the route is installed in the Data Plane, or FIB.
+

+      nexthop via 192.168.161.9 dev enp39s0 weight 1
+
+Once installed into the FIB, FRR currently has little control over what
+nexthops are chosen to forward packets on.  Currently the Linux kernel
+has a ``fib_multipath_hash_policy`` sysctl which dictates how the hashing
+algorithm is used to forward packets.
+
+.. _zebra-mpls:
+
+MPLS Commands
+=============
+
+You can configure static mpls entries in zebra. Basically, handling MPLS
+consists of popping, swapping or pushing labels to IP packets.
+
+MPLS Acronyms
+-------------
+
+:abbr:`LSR (Labeled Switch Router)`
+   Networking devices handling labels used to forward traffic between and through
+   them.
+
+:abbr:`LER (Labeled Edge Router)`
+   A Labeled edge router is located at the edge of an MPLS network, generally
+   between an IP network and an MPLS network.
+
+MPLS Push Action
+----------------
+
+The push action is generally used for LER devices, which want to encapsulate
+all traffic for a wished destination into an MPLS label. This action is stored
+in routing entry, and can be configured like a route:
+
+.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK MASK GATEWAY|INTERFACE label LABEL
+
+   NETWORK and MASK stand for the IP prefix entry to be added as static
+   route entry.
+   GATEWAY is the gateway IP address to reach, in order to reach the prefix.
+   INTERFACE is the interface behind which the prefix is located.
+   LABEL is the MPLS label to use to reach the prefix abovementioned.
+
+   You can check that the static entry is stored in the zebra RIB database, by
+   looking at the presence of the entry.
+
+   ::
+
+      zebra(configure)# ip route 1.1.1.1/32 10.0.1.1 label 777

+
+      S>* 1.1.1.1/32 [1/0] via 10.0.1.1, r2-eth0, label 777, 00:39:42
+
+MPLS Swap and Pop Action
+------------------------
+
+The swap action is generally used for LSR devices, which swap a packet with a
+label, with an other label. The Pop action is used on LER devices, at the
+termination of the MPLS traffic; this is used to remove MPLS header.
+
+.. clicmd:: mpls lsp INCOMING_LABEL GATEWAY OUTGOING_LABEL|explicit-null|implicit-null
+
+   INCOMING_LABEL and OUTGOING_LABEL are MPLS labels with values ranging from 16
+   to 1048575.
+   GATEWAY is the gateway IP address where to send MPLS packet.
+   The outgoing label can either be a value or have an explicit-null label header. This
+   specific header can be read by IP devices. The incoming label can also be removed; in
+   that case the implicit-null keyword is used, and the outgoing packet emitted is an IP
+   packet without MPLS header.
+
+You can check that the MPLS actions are stored in the zebra MPLS table, by looking at the
+presence of the entry.
+
+.. clicmd:: show mpls table

+.. _zebra-srv6:
+
+Segment-Routing IPv6
+====================
+
+Segment-Routing is source routing paradigm that allows
+network operator to encode network intent into the packets.
+SRv6 is an implementation of Segment-Routing
+with application of IPv6 and segment-routing-header.
+
+All routing daemon can use the Segment-Routing base
+framework implemented on zebra to use SRv6 routing mechanism.
+In that case, user must configure initial srv6 setting on
+FRR's cli or frr.conf or zebra.conf. This section shows how
+to configure SRv6 on FRR. Of course SRv6 can be used as standalone,
+and this section also helps that case.
+
+.. clicmd:: show segment-routing srv6 locator [json]
+
+   This command dump SRv6-locator configured on zebra.  SRv6-locator is used
+   to route to the node before performing the SRv6-function. and that works as
+   aggregation of SRv6-function's IDs.  Following console log shows two
+   SRv6-locators loc1 and loc2.  All locators are identified by unique IPv6
+   prefix.  User can get that information as JSON string when ``json`` key word
+   at the end of cli is presented.
+
+::
+
+   router# sh segment-routing srv6 locator
+   Locator:
+   Name                 ID      Prefix                   Status
+   -------------------- ------- ------------------------ -------
+   loc1                       1 2001:db8:1:1::/64        Up
+   loc2                       2 2001:db8:2:2::/64        Up
+
+.. clicmd:: show segment-routing srv6 locator NAME detail [json]
+
+   As shown in the example, by specifying the name of the locator, you
+   can see the detailed information for each locator.  Locator can be
+   represented by a single IPv6 prefix, but SRv6 is designed to share this
+   Locator among multiple Routing Protocols. For this purpose, zebra divides
+   the IPv6 prefix block that makes the Locator unique into multiple chunks,
+   and manages the ownership of each chunk.
+
+   For example, loc1 has system as its owner. For example, loc1 is owned by
+   system, which means that it is not yet proprietary to any routing protocol.
+   For example, loc2 has sharp as its owner. This means that the shaprd for
+   function development holds the owner of the chunk of this locator, and no
+   other routing protocol will use this area.
+
+::
+
+   router# show segment-routing srv6 locator loc1 detail
+   Name: loc1
+   Prefix: 2001:db8:1:1::/64
+   Chunks:
+   - prefix: 2001:db8:1:1::/64, owner: system
+
+   router# show segment-routing srv6 locator loc2 detail
+   Name: loc2
+   Prefix: 2001:db8:2:2::/64
+   Chunks:
+   - prefix: 2001:db8:2:2::/64, owner: sharp
+
+.. clicmd:: segment-routing
+
+   Move from configure mode to segment-routing node.
+
+.. clicmd:: srv6
+
+   Move from segment-routing node to srv6 node.
+
+.. clicmd:: locators
+
+   Move from srv6 node to locator node. In this locator node, user can
+   configure detailed settings such as the actual srv6 locator.
+
+.. clicmd:: locator NAME
+
+   Create a new locator. If the name of an existing locator is specified,
+   move to specified locator's configuration node to change the settings it.
+
+.. clicmd:: prefix X:X::X:X/M [func-bits 32]
+
+   Set the ipv6 prefix block of the locator. SRv6 locator is defined by
+   RFC8986. The actual routing protocol specifies the locator and allocates a
+   SID to be used by each routing protocol. This SID is included in the locator
+   as an IPv6 prefix.
+
+   Following example console log shows the typical configuration of SRv6
+   data-plane. After a new SRv6 locator, named loc1, is created, loc1's prefix
+   is configured as ``2001:db8:1:1::/64``.  If user or some routing daemon
+   allocates new SID on this locator, new SID will allocated in range of this
+   prefix. For example, if some routing daemon creates new SID on locator
+   (``2001:db8:1:1::/64``), Then new SID will be ``2001:db8:1:1:7::/80``,
+   ``2001:db8:1:1:8::/80``, and so on.  Each locator has default SID that is
+   SRv6 local function "End".  Usually default SID is allocated as
+   ``PREFIX:1::``.  (``PREFIX`` is locator's prefix) For example, if user
+   configure the locator's prefix as ``2001:db8:1:1::/64``, then default SID
+   will be ``2001:db8:1:1:1::``)
+
+   The function bits range is 16bits by default.  If operator want to change
+   function bits range, they can configure with ``func-bits``
+   option.

+
+Multicast RIB Commands
+======================
+
+The Multicast RIB provides a separate table of unicast destinations which
+is used for Multicast Reverse Path Forwarding decisions. It is used with
+a multicast source's IP address, hence contains not multicast group
+addresses but unicast addresses.
+
+This table is fully separate from the default unicast table. However,
+RPF lookup can include the unicast table.
+
+WARNING: RPF lookup results are non-responsive in this version of FRR,
+i.e. multicast routing does not actively react to changes in underlying
+unicast topology!
+
+.. clicmd:: ip multicast rpf-lookup-mode MODE
+
+
+   MODE sets the method used to perform RPF lookups. Supported modes:
+
+   urib-only
+      Performs the lookup on the Unicast RIB. The Multicast RIB is never used.
+
+   mrib-only
+      Performs the lookup on the Multicast RIB. The Unicast RIB is never used.
+
+   mrib-then-urib
+      Tries to perform the lookup on the Multicast RIB. If any route is found,
+      that route is used. Otherwise, the Unicast RIB is tried.
+
+   lower-distance
+      Performs a lookup on the Multicast RIB and Unicast RIB each. The result
+      with the lower administrative distance is used;  if they're equal, the
+      Multicast RIB takes precedence.
+
+   longer-prefix
+      Performs a lookup on the Multicast RIB and Unicast RIB each. The result
+      with the longer prefix length is used;  if they're equal, the
+      Multicast RIB takes precedence.
+
+      The ``mrib-then-urib`` setting is the default behavior if nothing is
+      configured. If this is the desired behavior, it should be explicitly
+      configured to make the configuration immune against possible changes in
+      what the default behavior is.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   Unreachable routes do not receive special treatment and do not cause
+   fallback to a second lookup.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip rpf ADDR
+
+   Performs a Multicast RPF lookup, as configured with ``ip multicast
+   rpf-lookup-mode MODE``. ADDR specifies the multicast source address to look
+   up.
+
+   ::
+
+      > show ip rpf 192.0.2.1
+      Routing entry for 192.0.2.0/24 using Unicast RIB
+
+      Known via "kernel", distance 0, metric 0, best
+      * 198.51.100.1, via eth0
+
+
+   Indicates that a multicast source lookup for 192.0.2.1 would use an
+   Unicast RIB entry for 192.0.2.0/24 with a gateway of 198.51.100.1.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ip rpf
+
+   Prints the entire Multicast RIB. Note that this is independent of the
+   configured RPF lookup mode, the Multicast RIB may be printed yet not
+   used at all.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip mroute PREFIX NEXTHOP [DISTANCE]
+
+
+   Adds a static route entry to the Multicast RIB. This performs exactly as the
+   ``ip route`` command, except that it inserts the route in the Multicast RIB
+   instead of the Unicast RIB.
+
+.. _zebra-route-filtering:
+
+zebra Route Filtering
+=====================
+
+Zebra supports :dfn:`prefix-list` s and :ref:`route-map` s to match routes
+received from other FRR components. The permit/deny facilities provided by
+these commands can be used to filter which routes zebra will install in the
+kernel.
+
+.. clicmd:: ip protocol PROTOCOL route-map ROUTEMAP
+
+   Apply a route-map filter to routes for the specified protocol. PROTOCOL can
+   be:
+
+   - any,
+   - babel,
+   - bgp,
+   - connected,
+   - eigrp,
+   - isis,
+   - kernel,
+   - nhrp,
+   - openfabric,
+   - ospf,
+   - ospf6,
+   - rip,
+   - sharp,
+   - static,
+   - ripng,
+   - table,
+   - vnc.
+
+   If you choose any as the option that will cause all protocols that are sending
+   routes to zebra.  You can specify a :dfn:`ip protocol PROTOCOL route-map ROUTEMAP`
+   on a per vrf basis, by entering this command under vrf mode for the vrf you
+   want to apply the route-map against.
+
+.. clicmd:: set src ADDRESS
+
+   Within a route-map, set the preferred source address for matching routes
+   when installing in the kernel.
+
+
+The following creates a prefix-list that matches all addresses, a route-map
+that sets the preferred source address, and applies the route-map to all
+*rip* routes.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   ip prefix-list ANY permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32
+   route-map RM1 permit 10
+     match ip address prefix-list ANY
+     set src 10.0.0.1
+
+   ip protocol rip route-map RM1
+
+IPv6 example for OSPFv3.
+
+.. code-block:: frr
+
+   ipv6 prefix-list ANY seq 10 permit any
+   route-map RM6 permit 10
+     match ipv6 address prefix-list ANY
+     set src 2001:db8:425:1000::3
+
+   ipv6 protocol ospf6 route-map RM6
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   For both IPv4 and IPv6, the IP address has to exist on some interface when
+   the route is getting installed into the system. Otherwise, kernel rejects
+   the route. To solve the problem of disappearing IPv6 addresses when the
+   interface goes down, use ``net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down``
+   :ref:`sysctl option <zebra-sysctl>`.
+
+.. clicmd:: zebra route-map delay-timer (0-600)
+
+   Set the delay before any route-maps are processed in zebra.  The
+   default time for this is 5 seconds.
+
+.. _zebra-fib-push-interface:
+
+zebra FIB push interface
+========================
+
+Zebra supports a 'FIB push' interface that allows an external
+component to learn the forwarding information computed by the FRR
+routing suite. This is a loadable module that needs to be enabled
+at startup as described in :ref:`loadable-module-support`.
+
+In FRR, the Routing Information Base (RIB) resides inside
+zebra. Routing protocols communicate their best routes to zebra, and
+zebra computes the best route across protocols for each prefix. This
+latter information makes up the Forwarding Information Base
+(FIB). Zebra feeds the FIB to the kernel, which allows the IP stack in
+the kernel to forward packets according to the routes computed by
+FRR. The kernel FIB is updated in an OS-specific way. For example,
+the ``Netlink`` interface is used on Linux, and route sockets are
+used on FreeBSD.
+
+The FIB push interface aims to provide a cross-platform mechanism to
+support scenarios where the router has a forwarding path that is
+distinct from the kernel, commonly a hardware-based fast path. In
+these cases, the FIB needs to be maintained reliably in the fast path
+as well. We refer to the component that programs the forwarding plane
+(directly or indirectly) as the Forwarding Plane Manager or FPM.
+
+.. program:: configure
+
+The relevant zebra code kicks in when zebra is configured with the
+:option:`--enable-fpm` flag and started with the module (``-M fpm``
+or ``-M dplane_fpm_nl``).
+
+.. note::
+
+   The ``fpm`` implementation attempts to connect to ``127.0.0.1`` port ``2620``
+   by default without configurations. The ``dplane_fpm_nl`` only attempts to
+   connect to a server if configured.
+
+Zebra periodically attempts to connect to the well-known FPM port (``2620``).
+Once the connection is up, zebra starts sending messages containing routes
+over the socket to the FPM. Zebra sends a complete copy of the forwarding
+table to the FPM, including routes that it may have picked up from the kernel.
+The existing interaction of zebra with the kernel remains unchanged -- that
+is, the kernel continues to receive FIB updates as before.
+
+The default FPM message format is netlink, however it can be controlled
+with the module load-time option. The modules accept the following options:
+
+- ``fpm``: ``netlink`` and ``protobuf``.
+- ``dplane_fpm_nl``: none, it only implements netlink.
+
+The zebra FPM interface uses replace semantics. That is, if a 'route
+add' message for a prefix is followed by another 'route add' message,
+the information in the second message is complete by itself, and
+replaces the information sent in the first message.
+
+If the connection to the FPM goes down for some reason, zebra sends
+the FPM a complete copy of the forwarding table(s) when it reconnects.
+
+For more details on the implementation, please read the developer's manual FPM
+section.

+
+Dataplane Commands
+==================
+
+The zebra dataplane subsystem provides a framework for FIB
+programming. Zebra uses the dataplane to program the local kernel as
+it makes changes to objects such as IP routes, MPLS LSPs, and
+interface IP addresses. The dataplane runs in its own pthread, in
+order to off-load work from the main zebra pthread.
+
+
+.. clicmd:: show zebra dplane [detailed]
+
+   Display statistics about the updates and events passing through the
+   dataplane subsystem.

+
+
+DPDK dataplane
+==============
+
+The zebra DPDK subsystem programs the dataplane via rte_XXX APIs.
+This module needs be compiled in via "--enable-dp-dpdk=yes"
+and enabled at start up time via the zebra daemon option "-M dplane_dpdk".
+
+To program the PBR rules as rte_flows you additionally need to configure
+"pbr nexthop-resolve". This is used to expland the PBR actions into the
+{SMAC, DMAC, outgoing port} needed by rte_flow.

+   Display nexthop groups created by zebra.  The [vrf NAME] option
+   is only meaningful if you have started zebra with the --vrfwnetns
+   option as that nexthop groups are per namespace in linux.
+   If you specify singleton you would like to see the singleton
+   nexthop groups that do have an afi. [type] allows you to filter those
+   only coming from a specific NHG type (protocol).
+
+.. clicmd:: show <ip|ipv6> zebra route dump [<vrf> VRFNAME]
+
+   It dumps all the routes from RIB with detailed information including
+   internal flags, status etc. This is defined as a hidden command.
+
+
+Router-id
+=========
+
+Many routing protocols require a router-id to be configured. To have a
+consistent router-id across all daemons, the following commands are available
+to configure and display the router-id:
+
+.. clicmd:: [ip] router-id A.B.C.D
+
+   Allow entering of the router-id.  This command also works under the
+   vrf subnode, to allow router-id's per vrf.
+
+.. clicmd:: [ip] router-id A.B.C.D vrf NAME
+
+   Configure the router-id of this router from the configure NODE.
+   A show run of this command will display the router-id command
+   under the vrf sub node.  This command is deprecated and will
+   be removed at some point in time in the future.
+
+.. clicmd:: show [ip] router-id [vrf NAME]
+
+   Display the user configured router-id.
+
+For protocols requiring an IPv6 router-id, the following commands are available:
+
+.. clicmd:: ipv6 router-id X:X::X:X
+
+   Configure the IPv6 router-id of this router. Like its IPv4 counterpart,
+   this command works under the vrf subnode, to allow router-id's per vrf.
+
+.. clicmd:: show ipv6 router-id [vrf NAME]
+
+   Display the user configured IPv6 router-id.
+
+.. _zebra-sysctl:
+
+sysctl settings
+===============
+
+The linux kernel has a variety of sysctl's that affect it's operation as a router.  This
+section is meant to act as a starting point for those sysctl's that must be used in
+order to provide FRR with smooth operation as a router.  This section is not meant
+as the full documentation for sysctl's.  The operator must use the sysctl documentation
+with the linux kernel for that. The following link has helpful references to many relevant
+sysctl values:  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
+
+Expected sysctl settings
+------------------------
+
+.. option:: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
+
+   This global option allows the linux kernel to forward (route) ipv4 packets incoming from one
+   interface to an outgoing interface. If this is set to 0, the system will not route transit
+   ipv4 packets, i.e. packets that are not sent to/from a process running on the local system.
+
+.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.forwarding = 1
+
+   The linux kernel can selectively enable forwarding (routing) of ipv4 packets on a per
+   interface basis. The forwarding check in the kernel dataplane occurs against the ingress
+   Layer 3 interface, i.e. if the ingress L3 interface has forwarding set to 0, packets will not
+   be routed.
+
+.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.forwarding = 1
+
+   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to forward (route) transit ipv6 packets
+   i.e. incoming from one Layer 3 interface to an outgoing Layer 3 interface.
+   The forwarding check in the kernel dataplane occurs against the ingress Layer 3 interface,
+   i.e. if the ingress L3 interface has forwarding set to 0, packets will not be routed.
+
+.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down = 1
+
+   When an interface is taken down, do not remove the v6 addresses associated with the interface.
+   This option is recommended because this is the default behavior for v4 as well.
+
+.. option:: net.ipv6.route.skip_notify_on_dev_down = 1
+
+   When an interface is taken down, the linux kernel will not notify, via netlink, about routes
+   that used that interface being removed from the FIB.  This option is recommended because this
+   is the default behavior for v4 as well.
+
+Optional sysctl settings
+------------------------
+
+.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.bc_forwarding = 0
+
+   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to optionally allow Directed Broadcast
+   (i.e. Routed Broadcast or Subnet Broadcast) packets to be routed onto the connected network
+   segment where the subnet exists.
+   If the local router receives a routed packet destined for a broadcast address of a connected
+   subnet, setting bc_forwarding to 1 on the interface with the target subnet assigned to it will
+   allow non locally-generated packets to be routed via the broadcast route.
+   If bc_forwarding is set to 0, routed packets destined for a broadcast route will be dropped.
+   e.g.
+   Host1 (SIP:192.0.2.10, DIP:10.0.0.255) -> (eth0:192.0.2.1/24) Router1 (eth1:10.0.0.1/24) -> BC
+   If net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.bc_forwarding=1, then Router1 will forward each
+   packet destined to 10.0.0.255 onto the eth1 interface with a broadcast DMAC (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).
+
+.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.arp_accept = 1
+
+   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to optionally skip the creation of ARP
+   entries upon the receipt of a Gratuitous ARP (GARP) frame carrying an IP that is not already
+   present in the ARP cache. Setting arp_accept to 0 on an interface will ensure NEW ARP entries
+   are not created due to the arrival of a GARP frame.
+   Note: This does not impact how the kernel reacts to GARP frames that carry a "known" IP
+   (that is already in the ARP cache) -- an existing ARP entry will always be updated
+   when a GARP for that IP is received.
+
+.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.arp_ignore = 0
+
+   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to control what conditions must be met in
+   order for an ARP reply to be sent in response to an ARP request targeting a local IP address.
+   When arp_ignore is set to 0, the kernel will send ARP replies in response to any ARP Request
+   with a Target-IP matching a local address.
+   When arp_ignore is set to 1, the kernel will send ARP replies if the Target-IP in the ARP
+   Request matches an IP address on the interface the Request arrived at.
+   When arp_ignore is set to 2, the kernel will send ARP replies only if the Target-IP matches an
+   IP address on the interface where the Request arrived AND the Sender-IP falls within the subnet
+   assigned to the local IP/interface.
+
+.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.arp_notify = 1
+
+   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to decide whether to send a Gratuitious ARP
+   (GARP) frame when the Layer 3 interface comes UP.
+   When arp_notify is set to 0, no GARP is sent.
+   When arp_notify is set to 1, a GARP is sent when the interface comes UP.
+
+.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.ndisc_notify = 1
+
+   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to decide whether to send an Unsolicited
+   Neighbor Advertisement (U-NA) frame when the Layer 3 interface comes UP.
+   When ndisc_notify is set to 0, no U-NA is sent.
+   When ndisc_notify is set to 1, a U-NA is sent when the interface comes UP.
+
+Useful sysctl settings
+----------------------
+
+.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.all.use_oif_addrs_only = 1
+
+   When enabled, the candidate source addresses for destinations routed via this interface are
+   restricted to the set of addresses configured on this interface (RFC 6724 section 4).  If
+   an operator has hundreds of IP addresses per interface this solves the latency problem.
