Re: [Idr] BGP: Vendor Specific Capabilities

[Neil Matthew <neil at abelon.com>]

Hi

Given the wording of the question I'd like to stress the "local to the 
speaker" part. A peer should not close a connection just because it 
doesn't recognize a capability. It's up to the speaker to determine 
whether support for the particular capability is vital for the 
connection to continue.

Cheers

Neil
