Merge Calico's BIRD patches with the upstream BIRD 1.6.3 code.
Calico's BIRD fork was previously based on BIRD 1.5.0, so this merge brings in the following upstream BIRD changes (notes from http://bird.network.cz/?o_news).
- 1.6.0 (29.4.2016) RIP protocol redesigned, new protocol babel, BGP multipath added.
- 1.6.1 (22.9.2016) IPv6 ECMP support, several improvements in filters, kernel protocol, babel, memory leak in BGP multipath fixed.
- 1.6.2 (29.9.2016) Fixed serious bug of the previous version.
- 1.6.3 (22.12.2016) Large BGP communities, new authentication in BFD, RIP and OSPF.
Of particular interest for Calico is the BGP multipath and ECMP support - see the documentation for merge paths at http://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&f=bird-6.html#ss6.3. It means that if a deployment has multiple equal cost routes between its compute hosts, traffic between workloads on those hosts will be automatically balanced across the available routes.
