Re: [Idr] Debugging accepted routes from BGP speakers

Hi Jared,

As you know what you are asking for has been covered by previous work and
even IDR WG document:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-operational-message-00

So as you are defining new BGP message anyway I take there are two options:

*A*  You think  that what we specified in operational message is too much

*B* You think that we will never need more information to be exchanged in
an informational manner between eBGP peers

If *A* would you think that clearly making all of those "additional
information" as optional would fix the problem and we could proceed with
the IDR WG draft in terms of asking for implementation ?

As to your document - few questions/observations:

* new message likely will require new capability.

* "Unknown IANA Considerations" is a new one :)

* How much does it help to know that peer's ASBR accepted your prefix but
it got filtered on egress of peering AS ?

* What is the definition of rejected ? Dropped by policy ? Not eligible for
best path ? Not inserted into RIB as better AD is there ? Marked badly by
origin validation ?

Thx,
Robert.
