        Title           : Extended Optional Parameters Length for BGP OPEN Message

Abstract:
   The Optional Parameters in the BGP OPEN message as defined in the
   base BGP specification are limited to 255 octets due to a one-octet
   length field.  BGP Capabilities are carried in this field and may
   foreseeably exceed 255 octets in the future, leading to concern about
   this limitation.

   In this document we extend the BGP OPEN length field in a backward-
   compatible manner.  The Parameter Length field of individual Optional
   Parameters is similarly extended.
