    Freeing     Andrew Hart              12-4-1996  All    We're testing GateD 3.5 Beta 3 on BSDI, and may have found a
    allocated   <hart@ebina.hitachi.co.j                   problem with
    memory      p>                                         BGP.  I've just recently started working with GateD, so please
    when AS                                                bear with me if my explanation is a little fuzzy.
    path
    matching                                               The problem is with freeing allocated memory when AS path
    entries                                                matching entries are deleted during operation.  Specifically,
    are                                                    when we start up GateD with BGP import entries including AS
    deleted                                                path regular expressions, then delete these entries and cause
    during                                                 GateD to reread the configuration file, viewing the dump
    operation.                                             indicates that memory blocks are still in use by the tasks
                                                           named asp_trans, asp_table, and asp_state.  Shouldn't this
                                                           memory have been freed?

                                                           I'm not sure whether this is really a bug, so any help you can
                                                           give would
                                                           be appreciated.  I will be away from the office for a few
                                                           days, but if you
                                                           need more info I'll get it to you when I return.

    SDL ntwo    Marc Evans               7-12-1996  All    - SDL requires the use of the PPP code in their FR protocol
    adapter     <marc@destek.net>                          stack,  and hence has the driver inform the kernel to treat
    bug.                                                   the interface as   though it is a PPP connection.

                                                           - The gated code requires that a PPP have both the source and
                                                             destination addresses indicated in the ifconfig statement.

                                                           So, I think to myself, that's easy, I will just have to use an
                                                           "ifconfig  alias" statement for each seperate PVC in the frame
                                                           cloud (in this specific  case, about 75 or so PVC's).
                                                           Unfortunately, they all share 1 of 2 source  addresses, and
                                                           hence only 2 of the ifconfig lines actually are used.

                                                           So, although SunOS indeed does not support variable subnet
                                                           masks, I'm not trying to use variable subnet masks, and all of
                                                           the debugging that gated gives me tells me that it knows that.
                                                            Yet it still complains and refuses to install the routes.

    Gated       Bill Fenner              8-15-1996  All    The problem is that gated doesn't set ifa_net for
    doesn't     <fenner@parc.xerox.com>                    point-to-point interfaces. This is obviously required for
    set                                                    "unnumbered" interfaces, but causes problems in this
    ifa_net                                                situation.  I am vaguely considering adding something
    for point                                              disgusting like
    to point.
                                                           interface {
                                                            interface hsis0 isreallyonanetwork;
                                                           };

                                                           (maybe find a nicer keyword =), since I don't want to break
                                                           "unnumbered" interfaces.  Any other suggestions?

    Problems    Gordon M Taylor          5-30-1996  IRIX   I have been trying to run the current version of GateD
    with Gated  <gordon@cmf.nrl.navy.mil                   R3_5Beta3) on an SGI indy that is running IRIX_5.3.  I have

                                                           of the software package, but the machine hangs after a certain
                                                           period of time.  This period of time varies anywhere from 2
                                                           hours to 20 hours.  I have not gotten anything from the log
                                                           files (with trace) or from the SYSLOG file after any of these
                                                           incidents.  I have noticed that the last thing in the SYSLOG

                                                           came with the IRIX install CD, and it ran for over a week with
                                                           no problems.  Unfortunately, this version (1.9.3.2??) does not
                                                           support enough features to make this a viable long-term

    Concern     Curt Conrad              12-1-95    All    I am not a BGP expert (and I don't play one on TV) but I am
    about                                                  concerned that not all cases of AS_PATH attributes are handled
    gated-R3_5B                                            correctly in aspath_attr() in gated-R3_5Beta_1/aspath.c.

    h.c                                                    In particular, it seems that when handling consecutive
                                                           SEQUENCE segments, only the first might be copied.

                                                           Suppose an AS_PATH consists of only two consecutive SEQUENCES.
                                                           In the first pass through the AS_PATH (lines 1586-1619,
                                                           aspath.c), "nseg" will be set to 1 (to compress the two
                                                           consecutive SEQUENCES
                                                           into one). In the second pass, when the AS_PATH is actually
                                                           copied (lines 1641-1717, although only lines 1641-1675 are
                                                           significant here), the first SEQUENCE will be copied, "nseg"
                                                           will be decremented to 0 at line 1668, and the while loop will

                                                           Didn't ANS fix a similar bug in this area of gated?  Does this
                                                           new code fix some bug in alpha 11?
                                                           I am curious to know the answer, since I would like to drop a
                                                           couple of unrelated fixes for "generate" routes in aspath.c.

    bug         (Steve Reid)                               Since we don't use ISODE as our SNMP agent, I have been taking
                                                           the code delivered with the GateD release and performing
                                                           surgery on it to be compatible with our SNMP engine.  When I
                                                           came to the code which would seem to handle the RIP MIB, I
                                                           find that the code that we received in rip_mib.c was nothing
                                                           but an empty shell which returns constant zeroes for almost
                                                           every field.
