It sounds like implementers are unsure if the 3rd back sentence is correct/intended. How about: Section 2, 3rd paragraph: "Similarly on the receiving IBGP speakers, the validation state of an IBGP route SHOULD be derived directly from the last octet of the extended community, if present." to: "Similarly on the receiving IBGP speakers, the validation state of an IBGP route SHOULD be derived directly from the last octet of the extended community, if present. A receiving router should use locally achieved validation state before trusting an IBGP neighbors state information." -chris _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
