Saturday December 09, 2006 Quagga 0.99.6 released and experimental 4-byte ASN patch
Quagga 0.99.6 has been released. See the release news entry for more information
On the 4-byte ASN support front, which I blogged about earlier this year, Juergen Kammer of Eurodata has announced availability of a patch to add support to Quagga. This is welcome news given that as of 2007 the RIRs will be allocating 4-byte ASNs on request. Testing of Juergen's work would be very welcome, to facilitate speedy inclusion of it into mainline Quagga.
I have to say though that, personally, I'm not all keen on the "asdot" notation for 4-byte ASNs. There's just no good reason I know of to burden users with having to care about the details of width, and lots of reasons against (ambiguity in commands, user confusion). I'm not, personally, keen on merging "asdot" functionality without some compelling reasoning being presented.
