[BGPCEP-877] bgpcep send to peer update message with non-transitive PMSI tunnel attribute.

Thu, 5 Sep 2019 14:00:35 +0000

I have topology with two Arista switches (ceos1, ceos2) and between them is bgpcep as a BGP EVPN RR. When I create VxLAN at ceos1 device, than this information is sent to bgppcep: from Arista:

Problem is when this message is resend from bgpcep to Arista device ceos2. Bgpcep change PMSI_TUNNEL_ATTRIBUTE Flags to "0x80, Optional, Non-transitive, Complete".
