full Zebra BGP support

Please may you enable all the functionality the regular zebra has?

I think this should not be difficult, giving the fact the BGP into MT is based on Zebra.

Thanks

I also would like somemore BGP options. I find its the only main think holding me back from selling more router setups.

Yes, that is the problem for using MikroTik as real borderrouter.

A fully fledged version of BGP in MikroTik would be very welcome.

I would be happy if they would just add Multilink ppp.

During my (admitted: short) test of 2.9 beta I saw the promising new interface type “bonding” :smiley: - perhaps you should give it a try…

is the bgp included onthe 2.9 ?

Bgp is supperted since a lot of revisions ago. But we need a full zebra bgp.

Hope in 2.9 we will able to edit a bgpd.conf like configuration file to have all the zebra features.
But I don’t think full bgp is up into the mikrotik list!

Rosario,

that is good news, I didnt know it.
I will read the docs to see how it works.

The problem I have i sthat I have 2 providers, and 1 gave us the public IP adresses and I would like to use these addresses also with the other provider.

Have no idea about gbp/as but find out… any help is wolcome

grazie in ogni caso
ciao

Concur. I’d like at least to be able to set/send/receive community statements. I still have an old Cisco for my T1s, where the only reason it’s really there is because I can send a community statement to that ISP (for AS path prepending mostly).

While not strictly a BGP feature request, I’d like a way to tell the routes window what to (not) display. On a router taking a full BGP feed, the routes window shows about 150,000 entries, which makes it hard for me to find my fifty or so static routes. And it takes like half an hour for the window to load. :slight_smile:

Here is a list of the features we are working on for our own implementation of BGP. If you have any comments or suggestions, please respond.

Active route calculation; done
Static routes; done
Multiple routing tables; done
bgp peer connection establishment; difficult, in progress
multiple bgp protocol instances; medium
matching and changing route atributes, route maps; medium
bgp peer filering; medium
bgp tcp md5 signature, rfc2385; difficult
bgp soft reconfiguration (storing all updates); easy
bgp community support; easy
bgp route flap damping rfc2439; difficult
interface event damping; difficult
bgp route reflection rfc2796; medium
multiprotocol bgp rfc2283; difficult
bgp route refresh capability rfc2918; easy
bgp confederations rfc3065; easy
gateway reachability check via arp; done
gateway reachability check via ping; medium
older bgp version compatibility (bgp3, …) difficult

I think ecmp bgp multipath is very important and it is not implemented in zebra.

Then some features like update-source and other peer configurations are indispensable.

MT Please add more BGP features its really important to us to use this as a edge router, even decent routing can be achived with good & full bgp implementation like zebra.

Hi!

I’d also like to put my vote in for three BGP options becoming available as soon as possible:

  1. BGP community support

  2. BGP as-prepend support

and

  1. Being able to view the advertised routes like performing a ‘bgp show peer-host x.x.x.x advertised-routes’ on a Cabletron or ‘show ip bgp neighers x.x.x.x advertised-routes’ on a Cisco. This would greatly help with redistributing routes from other protocols.

These are the only two options which are presently preventing us from using MikroTik routers at all of our border locations.

Thanks for taking these additions into consideration!

Since we are all talking about MT routing being based on zebra, there is an MPLS module for zebra.

MPLS would be a great addition to MT.
