> Abstract:
>    The BGP specification mandates a maximum BGP message size of 4096
>    octets.  As BGP is extended to support newer AFI/SAFIs and other
>    features, there is a need to extend the maximum message size beyond
>    4096 octets.  This document updates the BGP specification RFC4271 by
>    providing an extension to BGP to extend its current maximum message
>    size from 4096 octets to 65535 octets for all except the OPEN
>    message.

there are at least two implementations

this version adds the following to sec cons (thanks jgs)

   Due to increased (over [RFC4272]) memory requirements for buffering,
   there may be increased exposure to resource exhaustion, intentional
   or unintentional.

i think it is ready for wglc
