Validate BGP update messages and include error code field in parsed message

density215 opened this issue · comments

A BGP update message was encountered, that had a Unicast IPv4 AFI/SAFI, but an empty AS_PATH. This is illegal according to RFC4271.

We do want to capture that packet and be sent on, but we would like to have that update message flagged with an error code that marks this.

Probably also other states exsist that would benefit from a validation error indicator.
