We have released OpenBGPD 7.8, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.
This release includes the following changes to the previous release:
* Improved performance by optimising the output filters
* Add Autonomous System Provider Authorization (ASPA) validaton based
on draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-12
* Introduce avs (ASPA validation state) filter and bgpctl filter argument
* Add ASPA support for the RTR protocol based on
draft-ietf-sidrops-8210bis-10
* Improve open policy (RFC 9234) support and enable the capability
automatically if a role is specified for the peer
* Introduce a per neighbor 'role' configuration option to specify
the session role used by ASPA verification and the open policy
capability. The 'announce policy' statement was simplified at
the same time.
* Improve startup behaviour by introducing a small delay before
opening the connection to a new peer
* Support for aspa-set table config which can be provided by
rpki-client
* Make it possible to filter the RIB by invalid and leaked prefixes
in bgpctl and bgplgd
* Add OpenMetrics output to bgpctl for various BGP statistics and
add /metrics endpoint to bgplgd
* Support the pftable attribute set on FreeBSD systems
OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD and the
Linux distributions Alpine, Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu.
It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenBGPD-portable
to more distributions.
We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.
Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release
possible.
