am I correct in assuming that bird does currently not support sending bgp flowspec rules (RFC5575) which uses MP_REACH_NLRI attributes? In proto/bgp/bgp.h I found these lines:

This feature is quite a hot new feature in the 2.0 version. Backporting flowspec into v1.x is virtually impossible due to Bird's internal architecture. The 2.0 version is still in development; see the v2.0.0-pre0 tag in our repository. There are several known bugs in flowspec, still unresolved, but we're working on that. Long story short, it is in progress. Jan
