Due to recurring problems with FRR since we upgraded most of our hardware from 21.05 to 24.11, we've decided to update our pinned FRR version from 8.5.7 to the much more recent 10.1.2. Nixpkgs stable currently only has 10.1, and this has some bugs in the handling of IPv4-via-IPv6 nexthops which render it unsuitable for our use case, so this change retains our version pinning with the newer version.
I've additionally refactored the RIB integrity check script to use the new JSON interface of the
bridge
command (new since 21.05) to improve the robustness of the script, and I've written an additional FRR test with a (very simple) sanity check for working MAC mobility functionality.@flyingcircusio/release-managers
