Re: FOSDEM 2024 talk recording - Flying higher: hardware offloading with BIRD
Hi Tim, Thanks for posting.

The talk was a bit crammed for time, but the next speaker didn't show up, so we unexpectedly had time for questions. Once I get the last bit's done, I will do a more detailed blog post, about the setup we are making at my hackerspace Labitat (AS2052350), for that we also need forwarding to directly connected hosts and reverse path filtering. One of the last slides has a picture of this setup, with a thin client and a ConnectX-5 running at <15W while doing 10G routing (DAC).

Re: Take Specific Value Inside BGP Community
Hi sir,
Thank you for the explanation
Your script works.
Just started using bird 6 month ago, and found out it is super cool.
Many thanks.
Best Regard,

Hi,
This statement is wrong:
peeras = ([(65535, 1000, *)].data2);
You try to pick "data2" from the communty set (= comunity filter). Filter
itself does not contain values. You need to apply it to some community list
first. Still you'll get a community list as a result. But you can pick "data2"
only from a single community. If you have or expect only one community matching
the filter and can ignore other values, you can use min/max operators to take a
single community from the list. But be aware that an empty list will yield you
an error here, so you need to check fist that there is something there. Please
also pay attention that you use a legacy syntax for definition of block
variables and function.
Not sure that I fully got you idea, but you can check this piece of code:
if (bgp_large_community ~ [(65535, 1000, *)]) then {
int peeras = filter(bgp_large_community, [(65535, 1000, *)]).min.data2;
bgp_large_community.delete([(65535, *, *)]);
bgp_large_community.add(( 64512, 101, peeras ));
accept; # not sure if it is good to accept/reject in a function
}

Alexander

i want to copy third community value from if statement, and adding it another

but that function gives me error.
No methods defined for type set
is that possible using bird?
Thanks.

Hi,
Is it possible in bird to copy specific value inside BGP Community?
Example:
Route 1, Community (a,b,c) -> inbound
Route 2, Community (a,b,d) -> inbound
--
Route 1, Community (k,l,c) -> outbound
Route 2, Community (k,l,d) -> outbound
The specific value I want to preserve is c and d, and it is dynamic variable.
whatever c and d inbound, copy to c and d outbound.
Thanks.

bgp_large_community.delete([(65535,*,*)]);
bgp_large_community.add (( 64512,101,peeras ));
accept;
}
}
