Greetings, thanks for the great works on this project. I am trying to use this project to ingest mrt dumps and modify next hop information. Being a beginner in both rust and bgp, this is quite a challenge for me, so please bear with my ignorance and correct me if wrong.
I have noticed that the current way of storing route attributes with
Arc<Vec<_>>does not provide ability to modify them when applying policies like set_next_hop. At first I tried to useRwLockinsideArcto provide mutability of the attributes. But that didn't go well with 4 times longer full table mrt injection time than stock.The second way, being this patch, tried to remove the
Arcon attibutes all along, sinceTABLEs have their own global mutex lock. Could you please help me understand why attributes are beingArced instead of being copied around? My guess is to save memory when having multipleTABLEs.Would please take a look at this PR and give me some direction in implementing this ability? Thank you.
p.s. I only modified the minimum possible code to make this action work.
