As one of the guys involved in OpenBSDs new bgpd I can assure you that there is no code lifted from mrtd whatsoever. Henning started with the session handler part and then Claudio and I got involved for the bgp routing table part (RDE, route decision engine). I then delivered the original internal design of the RDE and how to store the bgp path and nexthop information in an optimal way for the common bgp transactions. Which essentially means that all structures are attached together in many linked lists. All the coding is being done by Henning and Claudio. -- Andre
