Medium, as helps having route filters correct

nickhilliard commented 6 years ago

yeah, we're aware of this problem. the compare-route-server-prefixes.pl is due to be ripped out in due course with something which handles this, and a bunch of other problems in a much more sensible way.

Hello,

Is there some fix for this problem?

nickhilliard commented 5 years ago

Not yet. We can't fix this problem within the scope of the existing perl code, so the entire mechanism needs to be rethought.

AleksBelytskyi commented 5 years ago

thank you for the fast response. will wait for a solution

From the v5.0.0 release notes:

The Route Server Prefix Analysis tool has been deprecated (but not removed). It has been replaced with a new tool that queries all Bird v2 route servers live to give a complete and accurate report on filtered prefixes.

As @nickhilliard mentioned above, we can't fix this problem within the scope of the existing perl code, so the entire mechanism needs to be rethought. This has happened and a new tool is now available for Bird v2.
