RARE user and assistance email list

[mc36 <>]

hi,

thanks for the good words all...

it was my shame that md5 auth was not around for ospf and isis... :)

imho the secret of adding new stuff quickly depends on several factors:
first, the will... as i see, we in rare team really like networking so
for us, having new features is not a burden but a new pokemon to catch... :)
second, the freerouter-freerouter and freerouter-foreign box tests help a 
lot...
after a coding marathon, we can have some confidence if all the tests pass...
we have 2500 in tests total, 300 interop against cisco xe, xr, junos and frr, 
and
another 300 just for the rare (dpdk/tofino/bmv2) dataplane... the remaining 
almost
1800 are freerouter-freerouter, which serve some first round results 
quickly...

finally, the new image should be out... as you mentioned junos beforehand,
here are the tests i run with that guy for isis md5:
interface adjacency auth: http://sources.nop.hu/cfg/intop9-isis14.tst
level-wide lsp auth: http://sources.nop.hu/cfg/intop9-isis12.tst
that latter seemingly requires adjacency auth too, but it's just an 
observation,
if there are junos gurus out there, i would like to know if i'm mistaken 
here... :)

thanks,
cs
