Today 85.119.176.0/21 was announced by AS20912 with 177 prepends. I noticed 20912 modulo 256 is 176. AS47868 modulo 256 is 252 which matches this mondays prepend-incident.
So, what router OS will put 20912 into a byte and thus end up with 176 in something like "set as-path prepend last-as <no of prepends>" ? It needs to be fixed.
Has anyone noticed any ill effects with IOS and using "bgp max-as"? Will it just drop any prefixes with long as-paths and no other ill operational effects?
No ill effects here, but I never saw the others before this one, and I'm only seeing it via 3561. 010308: Feb 19 13:08:13.455 PDT: %BGP-6-ASPATH: Long AS path 3561 3257 8928 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 20912 received from 216.88.158.93: More than configured MAXAS-LIMIT ~Seth
