Re: Destination-IP-Origin-AS Filter for BGP Flow Specification

Haibo,

Thanks for the expected clarification.

To the chairs, as noted below the feature violates some fundamentals of flowspec architecture.  I'd strongly object to the feature being adopted without a new SAFI to get it out of the existing flowspec use cases.
