I tried over the week static route API. Static routes basically works
fine,
but again not with 32bit addresses. As I understand this is a
separate
issue which has nothing to do with stub networks (since Global Route
Manager/SPF computation is not applied).
I have a very basic setup, in which 3 routers A, B and C are connected
via p2p interfaces.
(a.a.a.a/32)A<--x.x.x.0/30-->B<--y.y.y.0/30-->C(c.c.c.c/32)
router A and C have additionally (beside p2p interface toward B) 32bit
address assigned
on additional interface. It is csma interface (not connected to
anything), but is marked as up.
For some reasons static routes doesn't work in this scenario (I'm
using a modified
version of first.cc program to send a couple of UDP packets).
I'm actually not sure if it is problem of static routes or something
else. It looks like everything
i.e. the whole routing is getting broken once I assign /32 address on
interface
(before even adding static routes). If I will hash out call to
function responsible for assigning
those /32 addresses, I'm able to send/receive packets on x.x.x.x/30
and y.y.y.y/30 networks
- in order to do that (of course) also I need to modify
UdpEchoClientHelper echoClient ("c.c.c.c", 9);
to something like this:
UdpEchoClientHelper echoClient ("y.y.y.2", 9);
Conclusion from all of this /32 bit discussion is that (as I believe) /
32 bit address problem
is not only related to global route manager. /32 addresses do not work
at all and their mere presence
seem to broke also regular routing between non-/32 addresses.
