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.

                                                       (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

                                                       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

                                                       incidents.  I have noticed that the last thing in the SYSLOG    
                                                       file is always a file rotation for gated's trace file.  I have

                                                       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

                                                       into one). In the second pass, when the AS_PATH is actually     
                                                       copied (lines 1641-1717, although only lines 1641-1675 are

                                                       exit without copying any part of the second SEQUENCE.

                                                       I am curious to know the answer, since I would like to drop a

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

                                                       find that the code that we received in rip_mib.c was nothing
