Hello,
After two nights of adding printf(...) to quagga code I have just found
the reason why zebra daemon is not able to remove some (but not all!) of
the old routes on Linux/rt_netlink. I have noticed that if I kill
ripd and zebra (SIGKILL) and start zebra again it prints lot of:
ZEBRA: netlink-cmd error: No such process, type=RTM_DELROUTE(25), seq=XXX, pid=0
messages. Zebra tries to remove old routes installed by itself but since it
ignores metric of received routes from kernel, it is only able to remove
routes with metric=0 (very unlikely with RIP). This patch fix the
netlink_routing_table() function from the rt_netlink.c file. With this
patch zebra is able to remove all my old (left after kill -9) "proto
zebra" routes.
Massage to the zebra/ChangeLog file:
2004-03-29 Krzysztof Oledzki <oleq@ans.pl>
* Do not ignore metric when reading kernel routing table
on Linux with rt_netlink interface.
Best regards,
Krzysztof Olêdzki
