Title: Error Handling for Optional Transitive BGP Attributes
Creation_date: 2009-03-03
WG ID: Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 8
Abstract:
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 in the case of optional transitive
attributes. This document revises BGP's error-handling rules for
optional transitive attributes, and provides guidelines for the
authors of documents defining new optional transitive attributes. It
also revises the error handling procedures for several existing
optional transitive attributes.
