gated/v6 compatibility issues.

[Robert Rockell]

Has anyone ever run into any compatibility issues between gated and cisco 0519 code?
Gated side is seeing problems with optional attributes, but I am only sending AS_PATH
info.  On the cisoc side, debug only show session go into open-active state, and then
reset, without any icmp information. Any insight woudl be appreciated. error log from
Gated below:

this is a tunnel interface, which I don't believe should make any difference.





With BGP4+, are attributes mapped in the same way as bgp4 (v4)? there don't appear to be
any optional attributes being passed.
