<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am seeing this error message in bird's log and I am unable to find reason.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><RMT> PEER: Error: Malformed AS_PATH: 40022002080000b8800000b8800000b8<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Weird thing is that if my peer sends me just his prefixes everything is alright. When he sends me full IP table and I apply filter to accept just my peer prefixes, the error occurs again.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have theory, that when BIRD reads route with a malformed path even if he does not accept it, it drops BGP connection with this error.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I have 2 questions. Am I correct in my theory? And if so is there way around it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
