Rejected Alternatives
Use TLV Encoding instead of length field
In general, a better solution, but
Simpler not to introduce a new type
Given existing deployment of strange encoding solutions for all cases but 4-over-6, hardly seems worthwhile to have a “purer” solution for this one case
New AFI/SAFI for 4/6 case
More complicated
Operationally
Update for given NLRI would change AFI/SAFI as it travels, introducing all kinds of corner cases to track down.
