Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BgpRibEntry()

Member Function Documentation

operator>()

template<typename T>

bool libbgp::BgpRibEntry< T >::operator> ( const T &  other ) const

inline

Test if this entry has greater weight then anoter entry. Please note that weight are only calculated based on path attribues. (i.e., you need to compare route prefix first)

Parameters

other

The other entry.

Returns

true This entry has higher weight.

false This entry has lower or equals weight.

Member Data Documentation

ibgp_peer_asn

template<typename T>

uint32_t libbgp::BgpRibEntry< T >::ibgp_peer_asn

ASN of the IBGP peer. (Valid iff src == SRC_IBGP)

The ibgp_peer_asn field can be used to identify which IBGP session does this route belongs to. This is needed since a BGP speaker can have multiple IBGP sessions with different ASNS.

src

template<typename T>

BgpRouteSource libbgp::BgpRibEntry< T >::src

Source of this entry.

If the route is from an IBGP peer, the nexthop might not be reachable directly. You may need recursive nexthop or info from other routing protocols.

status

template<typename T>

BgpRouteStatus libbgp::BgpRibEntry< T >::status

Status of this entry.

Active routes are routes currently picked as best routes.

update_id

template<typename T>

uint64_t libbgp::BgpRibEntry< T >::update_id

The update ID.

BgpRib4Entry with same update ID are received from the same update and their path attributes are therefore same. Note that entries with different update_id may still have same path attributes.

weight

template<typename T>

int32_t libbgp::BgpRibEntry< T >::weight

Weight of this entry.

Entry with higher weight will be prefered. Weight is only compared when selecting entry with equal routes.
