Jeff, The challenge I see here is that the NLRI is always at the END of the message. The parsing problem is going to happen before the NLRI. I certainly don't want my BGP implementation doing 'fuzzy' things with the message and producing further poor results. It's no way to run a network, and can be difficult to code. Once again I must assert that this is a problem best left to be fixed in the individual implementations. We can certainly expect a high level of standard for software, but expecting no defects is unrealistic. - Jared _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list GROW@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
