[BGPCEP-457] Transitive Unrecognized Attribute not transiting

Sun, 3 Mar 2019 11:49:45 +0000

Hello ODL-BGPCEP

I inserted the following route with unrecognized attributes into the app-rib using RESTCONF :

"ipv4-route": [
{
"prefix": "9.9.9.9/32",
"attributes": {
"ipv4-next-hop":

{ "global": "11.11.11.11" }

,
"unrecognized-attributes": [

{ "partial": "true", "transitive": "true", "type": "101", "value": "0101010101010101" }

{ "partial": "true", "transitive": "true", "type": "102", "value": "0101010111111111" }

]
}
}]

While these unrecognized attributes are visible in loc-rib of the same bgp router, they are not appearing in the adj-rib-out of the neighboring bgp peer,
or in other words they are not being transmitted with the bgp update message of the bgp route.

I believe it is not the normal behavior and should be transmitted in the BGP update message for the prefix as transitive flag is set to true. (ipv4-route json object is also attached with the mail).

I am using bgp project version 0.5.2-SNAPSHOT and the peering is between two SDN controllers. I will be glad to provide more information, and sorry if I have missed out on some.

Sidhant
