  Fri Jun 20 14:12:59 2008 gds [...] gds.best.vwh.net - Ticket created
Subject: Update.pm changes
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2008 19:37:45 -0700
To: bug-Net-BGP [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Greg Skinner <gds [...] gds.best.vwh.net>
There is currently a limitation of 255 byte attributes in Net::BGP::Update. I've made some changes that allow attributes that are greater than 255 bytes to be sent by setting the extended length bit and adding an extra byte to store the larger length, as per RFC 4271. I've attached the diffs to this email. --gregbo

Greg, Thanks for your patch. I will release a new Update.pm in Net::BGP version 0.10. I chose a slightly different approach that consolidates the length encoding to a single place in the code. If you run into any problems, please let me know. -kevin
