Hi Group,
                As per as part of adhering to RFC 4233/ RFC 3057 regarding =
Interface identifier, we have met a situation where I thought it would be a=
pt to query the correct way in the group. The protocol definition for "Inte=
rface Identify " as per the RFC is mentioned as integer range with value fr=
om 0 UINT_MAX. While processing the ASPAC message, if the Interface identif=
ier Start is given as 0 and Interface identifier End is given as UINT_MAX(2=
%32), then it can result in a big loop in the code which can spike the CPU.=
  Is there any recommendations from the protocol side to avoid such a probl=
em?
