We have released OpenBGPD 8.4, which will be arriving in the OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.


This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

  • Rewrite the internal message passing mechanism to use a new memory-safe API.

  • Rewrite most protocol parsers to use the new memory-safe API. Convert the UPDATE parser, all of RTR, as well as both the MRT dump code in bgpd and the parser in bgpctl.

  • Improve RTR logging, error handling and version negotiation.

  • Switch to autoconf 2.71 to generate the supplied configure scripts.


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.
