<p>Hi. <br>
</p>
<p>I have an issue with the BGP implementation of a well-known
hardware manufacturer. <br>
</p>
<p>Said implementation send multiple Add-Path capabilities, one for
each address family, instead of sending only one capability with
both address families. Moreover, it expects it's BGP peer to
behave identically.</p>
<p>If bird manages to understand the badly formatted open message,
the said BGP implementation fails and reject bird (well-formed)
message.</p>
<p>The manufacturer is informed, but has still to provide a working
patch.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I think it would be easy to implement a
workaround as a bgp protocol option in bird. I'm ready to dive
into the code to do it. But ... <br>
</p>
<p>Is it bird policy to accept such workaround pull requests ?<br>
</p>
