I emailed xcel about the invalid next-hop address. We should filter invalid next hops on the route servers. There also appears to be an issue with how some routers handle the invalid next hop. Are all the peers with the issue of losing the session to RS2 running Brocade? On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 8:17 AM David Farmer <farmer@umn.edu> wrote:

I think we've come up with some methods for potentially creating filters for this situation to roll out in the future. I don't think its' BIRD place to impose restrictions on what a BGP peer is advertising, even if it is bogus. Clearly its only a bug with Brocade, because other vendors (especially Juniper) didn't care that it was announced this way, I just had a bogus route inserted from them, but it didn't affect any of my BGP sessions with MICE.

I think it was more than just an invalid next-hop. If it was simply an invalid next-hop that shouldn't have created a malformed BGP update. Unless the invalid next-hop caused BIRD to send out a malformed BGP update.

We should filter invalid next hops on the route servers.
There also appears to be an issue with how some routers handle the invalid next hop.
Are all the peers with the issue of losing the session to RS2 running Brocade?

My IOS XR router detected a malformed BGP message, logs are in the thread below, but it treated it as a withdrawal per RFC7606. The Brocades saw the error and closed the BGP session, which is what many older BGP implementations do. I'm not sure the reason for the malformed BGP message, it could have something to do the next-hop, or it could be for some completely unrelated reason, but it as far as I can tell, BIRD put a malformed BGP message on the wire. IOS XR said "hey look that's bad, and I'm going to ignore it", and Brocade said, "hey that's bad, and you're bad so I'm not going to talk to you", I think the Junipers reacted much as IOS XR did, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a bad message.

IOS XR said "hey look that's bad, and I'm going to ignore it", and Brocade said, "hey that's bad, and you're bad so I'm not going to talk to you", I think the Junipers reacted much as IOS XR did, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a bad message.
I can confirm the Juniper reaction, it got marked as "invalid" with unreachable next hop. I don't think it threw an actual error, just put it in the naughty pile and ignored it.

From what I'm seeing here, I would agree. Ideally, someone should report this to the BIRD developers. That said, for such a bug report to be useful, we may need more information. If it was just the RFC 1918 next-hop that triggered this, then this should be trivially reproducible. But if it was something else, we may not have enough information to get to the bottom of this.
