OpenBGPD 7.2 released

23 September, 2021 by claudio@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenBGPD 7.2, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * Support for RFC 9072 - Extended Optional Parameters Lenght for
      BGP OPEN Message

    * Support for RFC 8050 - MRT Format with BGP Additional Path Extensions

    * Implement receive side of RFC 7911 - Advertisement of Multiple Paths
      in BGP. OpenBGPD is currently not able to send multiple paths out.

    * Improve checks of VRPs loaded via RTR or from the roa-set table.

    * Allow to optionally specify an expiry time for roa-set entries to
      mitigate BGP route decision making based on outdated RPKI data.
      OpenBGPD's companion rpki-client(8) produces roa-sets with the
      new 'expires' property

OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD, and
the Linux distributions Alpine, Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu.
It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenBGPD-portable
to more distributions.

We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.
Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release
possible.
