A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF. Title : Revised Error Handling for BGP UPDATE Messages Author(s) : John G. Scudder Enke Chen Pradosh Mohapatra Keyur Patel Filename : draft-ietf-idr-error-handling-01.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2011-12-15 According to the base BGP specification, a BGP speaker that receives an UPDATE message containing a malformed attribute is required to reset the session over which the offending attribute was received. This behavior is undesirable as a session reset would impact not only routes with the offending attribute, but also other valid routes exchanged over the session. This document partially revises the error handling for UPDATE messages, and provides guidelines for the authors of documents defining new attributes. Finally, it revises the error handling procedures for several existing attributes.
