Update 1: IPv6 Support

(Contributed by Ankur Aggarwal, ankur.aggarwal@hsc.com, Hughes Systique Pvt. Ltd.)

Initially, BGP LS South Bound only supported IPv4 addresses. Support for IPv6 has been added and is available since ONOS-2.3 release. For this, a new parameter has been added in the configuration:

{
        "apps": {
                "org.onosproject.provider.bgp.cfg": {
                        "bgpapp": {
                                "routerId": "192.168.251.240",
                               "localAs": 200,
                               "maxSession": 20,
                               "lsCapability": true,
                               "holdTime": 180,
                               "largeAsCapability": true,
                               "flowSpecCapability": "IPV4",
                               "connectionType": "IPV4_IPV6"
                       }
          }
}

Parameter added:

connectionType : Specifies the connection type to be used for connecting to the BGP peer. It takes three values:

• IPV4 : For connecting to IPv4 addresses only.
• IPV6 : For connecting to IPv6 addresses only.
• IPV4_IPV6 : Can connect to both IPv4 and v6 addresses.

This parameter has been made optional with a default value "IPV4", thus all previous json config files will still work.

Update 2: Route Refresh Support

RFC 2918 defines the Route Refresh capability for BGP. The support for the same has been added in ONOS-2.4.
