Re: [Bgpd-users] New free BGP implementation + SERIOUS WARNING

[Steven H. <st...@xs...>]

Stephane,

Thanks for the warning. Unfortunately I have lost access to my development 
environment a while ago so I can't test (or fix) the problem that you have 
encountered. (this is also the reason that no newer versions of bgpd.pl 
have appeared)

Just a quick note to the Zebra developers wanting to fix this problem: 
bgpd.pl never sends any Update messages. It only sends Open, Keepalive and 
Notification messages.
