Hi, You can always check/modify/whatever the OTC attribute for a peer that does not have a role assigned. The point is: - have the RS signal their role (rs_server) - if the peer supports roles, enforce the correct one (rs_client, NOT peer, NOT customer) - set the OTC, preferably automatically, not by hand - still have the routes received with OTC, even if discarded/inactive, instead of having them treated as “withdraw” - I may also want to re-announce these routes (as invalid as they are) to some internal collector. - include routes with OTC within “receive limit” ???? - do something other than having 2 log lines for each route received with OTC when it shouldn’t We still have 1 or 2 pees that still take the routes from one RS (with OTC attribute) and re-announce them to the other RS. -- Radu-Adrian FEURDEAN Web : www.franceix.net
