[Xorp-hackers] Question on RIB

[Ben Greear]

I have a scenario of 4 routers.  Starting config is:

A <-> B
B <-> C
C <-> D

Also:
B <-> D  (high cost link)

OSPF chooses the B-C link instead of the high cost link, and all is well.

Then, I disconnect (remove the interfaces & OSPF config for those interfaces
with xorpsh)

B & C

OSPF correctly starts using the high-cost link.


Then, I reconnect B & C with the low cost link.

It seems OSPF is trying to do the right thing.  Routes are deleted from
the high-cost link, but they do not appear on the low cost link.  The
reason appears to be this error in RIB.  I tried doing a 'commit' after
adding the interface and before adding the config to OSPF, but that did
not help.

Any idea how RIB learns about the directly connected interfaces?  Looks like
I need to somehow make it learn faster...
