Re: [Idr] draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol-05 being WGLC'd in sidr

Hi John,

The proposal of dropping AS_PATH and the intention to completely replace 
it with AS_SEC_PATH attribute has been negatively commented so many 
times in the past both on idr and sidr that by bringing just one thread 
below seems like erasing all other comments.

The issues are not only related to routing .. they are also related to 
number of BGP monitoring stations deployed today which use AS_PATH 
attribute for real time BGP analysis. Do you expect all of those tools 
to change/be updated when IETF will publish path validation RFC ?

To only bring few past comments:
