The new RIP implementation fixes plenty of old bugs and also adds support
for many new features: ECMP support, link state support, BFD support,
configurable split horizon and more. Most options are now per-interface.

Kernel option 'merge paths' allows to merge routes exported to kernel
protocol (currently BGP and static routes) to multipath routes.

Linux kernel route metrics (RTA_METRICS netlink route attribute) are
represented and accessible as new route attributes:

krt_mtu, krt_window, krt_rtt, krt_rttvar, krt_sstresh, krt_cwnd, krt_advmss,
krt_reordering, krt_hoplimit, krt_initcwnd, krt_rto_min, krt_initrwnd,
krt_quickack, krt_lock_mtu, krt_lock_window, krt_lock_rtt, krt_lock_rttvar,
krt_lock_sstresh, krt_lock_cwnd, krt_lock_advmss, krt_lock_reordering,
krt_lock_hoplimit, krt_lock_rto_min, krt_feature_ecn, krt_feature_allfrag

Shows routes that would be exported to the protocol but are rejected by
the export filter.

Also significant core protocol state changes needed for that,
global graceful restart recovery state and kernel proto support
for recovery.

Thanks to Sergey Popovich for original patches.

When route was propagated to another rtable through a pipe and then the
pipe was reconfigured softly in such a way that any subsequent route
updates are filtered, then the source protocol shutdown didn't clean up
the route in the second rtable which caused stale routes and potential
crashes.

The RAdv protocol could be configured to change its behavior based on
availability of routes, e.g., do not announce router lifetime when a
default route is not available.

When 'import keep rejected' protocol option is activated, routes
rejected by the import filter are kept in the routing table, but they
are hidden and not propagated to other protocols. It is possible to
examine them using 'show route rejected'.

Allows to send and receive multiple routes for one network by one BGP
session. Also contains necessary core changes to support this (routing
tables accepting several routes for one network from one protocol).
It needs some more cleanup before merging to the master branch.

When a protocol went down, all its routes were flushed in one step, that
may block BIRD for too much time. The patch fixes that by limiting
maximum number of routes flushed in one step.

 - ROA tables, which are used as a basic part for RPKI.
 - Commands for examining and modifying ROA tables.
 - Filter operators based on ROA tables consistent with RFC 6483.

The nest-protocol interaction is changed to better handle multitable
protocols. Multitable protocols now declare that by 'multitable' field,
which tells nest that a protocol handles things related to proto-rtable
interaction (table locking, announce hook adding, reconfiguration of
filters) itself.

Filters and stats are moved to announce hooks, a protocol could have
different filters and stats to different tables.

The patch is based on one from Alexander V. Chernikov, thanks.

Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for many suggestions.

Hostcache is a structure for monitoring changes in a routing table that
is used for routes with dynamic/recursive next hops. This is needed for
proper iBGP next hop handling.

A sad thing is that we does not have a 'router_id' filter type,
so it must be given as decimal number in filters.

	- metric is 3 byte long now
	- summary lsa originating
	- more OSPF areas possible
	- virtual links
	- better E1/E2 routes handling
	- some bug fixes..

I have to do:
	- md5 auth (last mandatory item from rfc2328)
	- !!!!DEBUG!!!!! (mainly virtual link system has probably a lot of bugs)
	- 2328 appendig E
