Detailed Description

The RouteDB class holds routes and manages their updates. Successful updates are placed in the update queue contained within the RouteDB instance. The UpdateQueue is used for generating triggered update messages.

The RouteWalker class provides a way to walk the routes held.

bool  update_route (const Net& net, const Addr& nexthop, uint32_t cost, uint32_t tag, RouteOrigin* origin, const PolicyTags& policytags)

update_route

Update Route Entry in database for specified route.

If the route does not exist or the values provided differ from the existing route, then an update is placed in the update queue.

Parameters:

netthe network route being updated.
nexthopthe corresponding nexthop address.
costthe corresponding metric value as received from the route originator.
tagthe corresponding route tag.
originthe route originator proposing update.
policytagsthe policytags of this route.

Returns: true if an update occurs, false otherwise.

void  add_rib_route (const Net& net, const Addr& nexthop, uint32_t cost, uint32_t tag, RouteOrigin* origin, const PolicyTags& policytags)

add_rib_route

A copy of RIB routes need to be kept, as they are not advertised periodically. If a RIB route gets replaced with a better route from another peer, it will be lost. By storing RIB routes, it is possible to re-advertise RIB routes which have lost, but are now optimal.

Parameters:

netnetwork of the route being added.
nexthopthe corresponding nexthop address.
costthe corresponding metric value.
thecorresponding route tag.
originthe route originator [RIB in this case].
policytagsthe policytags of this route.
void  delete_rib_route (const Net& net)

delete_rib_route

Permanently delete a RIB route. This occurs if redistribution of this route ceased.

Parameters:

netnetwork of the route being deleted.
void  dump_routes (vector<ConstDBRouteEntry>& routes)

dump_routes

Flatten route entry collection into a Vector.

Parameters:

routesvector where routes are to be appended.
void  flush_routes ()

flush_routes

Flush routes.

uint32_t  route_count ()

route_count

[const]

Returns: count of routes in database.

const Route*  find_route (const Net& n)

find_route

[const]

Returns: pointer to route entry if it exists, 0 otherwise.

UpdateQueue<A>&  update_queue ()

update_queue

Accessor.

Returns: reference to UpdateQueue.

const UpdateQueue<A>&  update_queue ()

update_queue

[const]

Accessor.

Returns: const reference to UpdateQueue.

inline EventLoop&  eventloop ()

eventloop

void  push_routes ()

push_routes

Push routes through policy filters for re-filtering.

bool  do_filtering (Route* r)

do_filtering

Do policy filtering.

Parameters:

rroute to filter.

Returns: true if route was accepted, false otherwise.
