The more general overflow case is what you're talking about here. It *might* not be appropropriate to deal with this since each implementation may choose to do deal with this in its own way. For the mandatory attributes, you have to be able to deal with overflows. But if you're getting an AS Path that big, something has gone insane. For optional attributes, you may be able to discard some of them - for example, communities. > MikeC -- Jeff Haas NextHop Technologies
