Hi All,
I need to solve a problem with link-fail detect signal getting up to the ro=
uting deamon on my FreeBSD 4.10 systems.
The problem is as follows:
This is a question regarding backup routes in zebra/quagga running OSPFv2.
Say I have edge router A and edge router B connected via two parallel paths=
. Each path has several intermediate routers with different number of hops=
. In the normal condition, after route convergence the path with the small=
est number of hops will be chosen as the best path. See figure below
A
|
+--+--+
| |
Path 1 path 2
| |
+--+--+
|
B
Now if a link in path 1 breaks, path 2 should be immediately chosen since i=
t is a backup route.
In IP infusions ZebOS implementation, if I unplug a link in path 1, it will=
instantly switch over to path 2 without skipping a beat.
In Quagga, it will take up to 10 seconds before it discovers that path 1 is=
no longer available, and I lose data for 10 seconds until the paths reconv=
erge. I'm using hello interval 2 sec and router dead interval of 5 sec.
Not a good problem to have=85
So I think there is a flag that needs to be passed up from the Network Driv=
ers up to the deamon. Is there a specific signal the Quagga routing deamon=
needs to listen for. BTW Quagga has a lot in common with former Zebra rou=
ting code. I already tried the Quagga mailing list and didn=92t get an ans=
wer.=20=20
My quagga configuration follows if anyone is interested.
I already use the flag =93link-detect=94 in the Quagga/Zebra config file.
thanks in advance.
