OpenBGPD 7.6 released

15 September, 2022 by claudio@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenBGPD 7.6, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * Include OpenBSD 7.1 errata 008: bgpd(8) could fail to invalidate
      nexthops and incorrectly leave them in the FIB or Adj-RIB-Out. 

    * Speedup bgpctl show rib 10/8 or-longer and show rib 10/8 or-shorter

    * Switch various static hash tables to RB trees improving performance
      on large systems

    * Export per neighbor pending update and withdraw statistics

    * Fix race between a neighbor session reset and its update message backlog

    * Improve handling of nexthop reachability state changes

    * Further improve portability of the FIB handling code

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.
