Wish list BGP v4 and support for IS-IS to OSPF

Is it possible to get the implementation of BGP v4 reference Zebra/Quaggas BGPD ? and IS-IS for OSPF support ?.
I need that to one of my customer it verry important :slight_smile:

We will put that on the list for v2.9

we will add the bgp features, but not IS-IS

This is a word from my customer about OSPF that are using MT routers today. //Rickard


The OSPF routing configuration needs to be changed. Today you need to configure what IP networks who are present on every OSPF area. No ISP in the whole world can do that since they have 100s of C nets all subnette dinto tiny tiny small networks distributed to customers in their whole AS. This is due to RIPE regulations making it hard to get new networks, so you need to use your existing very well. So the main point is to configure under the interface parameter whoch interface are participating in what OSPF area. All OSPF packets received can safely be asumed they belong top the area on th einterface they were received. SO this tottally erases the use of “routing ospf network” command and makes the “routing ospf interface” command more important.

They way OSPF is implemneted today follows the RFC to the bone! But that is not how its used in an ISP network. Good refrence implememtations following the above reasoning is Extreme Networks and Foundry Networks and also Cisco.

Please review this thought. Otherwise I cant use your routers and divide my AS into areas.
