[...] > Is it possible to accomplish this kind of “silent-propagation”? No. In Babel, an unknown sub-TLV : - is silently dropped if it is non-mandatory; - causes the whole enclosing TLV to be dropped if it is mandatory. What you want is BGP's "transitive attributes". There's no such feature in Babel. > For instance, I am thinking to this in order to deploy an extension > without the need to reboot the whole network. Perhaps you can describe your extension, so we can think about it together? -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
