So there *is* a BGP deficiency -- FreeBSD can't implement something BGP knows about. I like the patches as they are. It is the job of FreeBSD to provide capability, not policy. The BGP code gets to dictate the policy when it decides how to use the capability. So I *still* think the patches should go in. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
