If the attribute says "encapsulate this", dropping just the attribute will create a blackhole as you will attract traffic that should be encapsulated and packets following this route will be dropped it if not.
- ExoticPearTree 1y agoI guess you're referring to RFC9012. Yes, but then again since you have logs of why it was dropped (like I suggested in my first post, to log everything dropped), you can easily troubleshoot the problem. A much better outcome than flapping a BGP session for no good reason and creating route churn and network instability.
