[quagga-users 14826] Re: BGP type 2 length 3294 is too large, attribute total length is 2314.

Hi,

I think this is pretty critical. Especially, since this isn't the first 
time.

The problem took a lot of stuff down the first time around in 2009. 
Cisco and Juniper have had some sort of max-as filter in place since 
that or before.

Why has this not been taken care of in Quagga ?

And yes .. we got hit, too. Quagga boxes don't have problems, when the 
routes come in from other platform upstream, but exchanging the 
malformed routes between Quagga boxes will result in flapping and if not 
taken care of within a few hours it will also result in massive logfiles 
.. For routers with small drives, the drive could end up full.

Kind regards,
Martin List-Petersen
