thank you for this nice code, which caused our gated to crash... Where may i send my bill to :-)))
I suggest the bill be sent to the guy/vendor that injected the bad path :-)
Hmm. If the upstream had been running code that did what the RFC says then Winfried wouldn't have a bill to send to anybody... It isn't like this was the first time we've seen this problem, either.
You really want all backbone routers to ignore AS-Path length in the BGP route selection process? I think I like it better the way it is now - at least for the near future.
I don't recall saying that, or anything about route selection. I don't want all backbone routers (or any of them, for that matter) ignoring Update messages (or worse, propagating the announcements) with malformed AS_PATH attributes when they should be returning a NOTIFY and closing the BGP session.
