exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.OptAttrError(data='')

Error indicates Optional Attribute is malformed.

RFC says: If an optional attribute is recognized, then the value of this attribute MUST be checked. If an error is detected, the attribute MUST be discarded, and the Error Subcode MUST be set to Optional Attribute Error. The Data field MUST contain the attribute (type, length, and value).

exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.OtherConfChange(data='')
exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.OutOfResource(data='')
exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.PeerDeConfig(data='')
class os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.PmsiTunnelIdUnknown(value)

Unknown route type specific _PmsiTunnelId

class os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.RouteTargetMembershipNLRI(origin_as, route_target)

Route Target Membership NLRI.

Route Target membership NLRI is advertised in BGP UPDATE messages using the MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI attributes.

exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.RoutingLoop(data='')
class os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.StreamParser

Streaming parser for BGP-4 messages.

This is a subclass of os_ken.lib.packet.stream_parser.StreamParser. Its parse method returns a list of BGPMessage subclass instances.

try_parse(data)

Try to extract a message from the given bytes.

This is an override point for subclasses.

This method tries to extract a message from bytes given by the argument.

Raises TooSmallException if the given data is not enough to extract a complete message but there's still a chance to extract a message if more data is come later.

exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.UnRegWellKnowAttr(data='')
exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.UnacceptableHoldTime(data='')

Error to indicate Unacceptable Hold Time in open message.

RFC says: If the Hold Time field of the OPEN message is unacceptable, then the Error Subcode MUST be set to Unacceptable Hold Time.

exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.UnsupportedOptParam(data='')

Error to indicate unsupported optional parameters.

RFC says: If one of the Optional Parameters in the OPEN message is not recognized, then the Error Subcode MUST be set to Unsupported Optional Parameters.

exception os_ken.lib.packet.bgp.UnsupportedVersion(locally_support_version)

Error to indicate unsupport bgp version number.

RFC says: If the version number in the Version field of the received OPEN message is not supported, then the Error Subcode MUST be set to Unsupported Version Number. The Data field is a 2-octet unsigned integer, which indicates the largest, locally-supported version number less than the version the remote BGP peer bid (as indicated in the received OPEN message), or if the smallest, locally-supported version number is greater than the version the remote BGP peer bid, then the smallest, locally- supported version number.
