--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Mike Dubrovsky <[email protected]>
Date Reported: 2021-12-17
Rejected by: Éric Vyncke (IESG)

Section: 4

Original Text
-------------
   A BGP speaker MUST only advertise to a BGP peer the IPv4 or VPN-IPv4
   NLRI with an IPv6 Next Hop if the BGP speaker has first ascertained
   via BGP Capability Advertisement that the BGP peer supports the
   Extended Next Hop Encoding capability for the relevant AFI/SAFI pair.


Corrected Text
--------------
   A BGP speaker MUST only advertise to a BGP peer the IPv4 or VPN-IPv4
   NLRI with an IPv6 Next Hop if the BGP speaker has first ascertained
   via BGP Capability Advertisement that the BGP peer supports the
   Extended Next Hop Encoding capability for the relevant AFI/SAFI pair.
   
   IPv4 or VPN-IPv4 NLRI with an IPv6 Next Hop SHOULD be treated as 
   malformed if it received from a BGP speaker that has not sent BGP 
   Capability Advertisement for the relevant AFI/SAFI pair.   


Notes
-----
The behavior was not explicitly mentioned.
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
   The RFC 5549 has been obsoleted by RFC 8950. Per point 7 of 
https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/processing-errata-ietf-stream/,
 this errata is rejected.
It appears to me that RFC 8950 may have the same error and may also require a 
similar errata.
Thanks for the report.
