| Description | One or more path attributes not understood by this
BGP4 speaker. Size zero (0) indicates the absence of
such attribute(s). Octets beyond the maximum size, if
any, are not recorded by this object.
Each path attribute is a triple of variable length.
Attribute Type is a two-octet field that consists of
the Attribute Flags octet followed by the Attribute
Type Code octet. If the Extended Length bit of the
Attribute Flags octet is set to 0, the third octet of
the Path Attribute contains the length of the
attribute data in octets. If the Extended Length bit
of the Attribute Flags octet is set to 1, then the
third and the fourth octets of the path attribute
contain the length of the attribute data in octets.
The remaining octets of the Path Attribute represent
the attribute value and are interpreted according to
the Attribute Flags and the Attribute Type Code. |
