Re: [sidr] [Idr] AS_SET depreciation (RFC6472) and BGP multipath

SIDR wise, to aggregate routes, you would have to
aggregate signatures. That means to put both signatures
into the aggregate and sign across the pair of them
at each subsequent hop. yuck.

Alternatively, send both routes and let the end
user decide to use them in a multipath.
Can you say ebgp add-path?

Very true. However I am not sure how that would be effectively that much 
different SIDR wise from issue with AS_SET ;)

Said this are there any other issues with AS_SET then SIDR ?
