Hello!
Per-instance 4B-awareness might be implemented easily by just not advertising that capability (and ignoring such advertisement from that neighbor). That would force 2B-based communication with neighbor, but otherwise we can process it like 4B-aware BGP speaker (reconstruct 4B path from AS_PATH and AS4_PATH and use 4B path as internal representation).
OK. So we do not need to store it as a opaque attribute at all (except temporarily during decoding of the update). Have a nice fortnight -- Martin `MJ' Mares <mj@ucw.cz> http://mj.ucw.cz/ Faculty of Math and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Rep., Earth
