March 2026 — FRRouting/frr monthly impact report Key features delivered: - Enhanced Show Evpn VNI Detail Output: Added per-VNI MAC and ARP/ND entry counters (numMacs, numArpNd) to both CLI and JSON paths of show evpn vni and show evpn vni detail, improving visibility and parity across interfaces and automation tools. Major bugs fixed: - Memory Allocation Optimization for FRR Prefix Lists: Implemented conditional memory allocation to prevent unnecessary prefix-list allocations across FRR modules, addressing OOM risks in high-load scenarios. Targeted fix in bfdd path to avoid allocations when not used (Ticket #4707868). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased stability and scalability for deployments with large prefix-lists and EVPN/VNI configurations; enhanced observability through richer VNI detail output; improved consistency between CLI and JSON reporting, aiding operations and capacity planning. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C/C++ development within FRR (bfdd, zebra paths), memory optimization techniques, CLI/JSON output enhancements, cross-module coordination, and adherence to contribution standards.
