@Jhaas@infosec.exchange if we're gonna be updating stuff, ORIGIN (Type Code 1) has a whole octet to itself but only 3 currently defined values. Couldn't we do more with this? I propose: 0: IGP: default 1: EGP : "I know what I'm doing" 2: INCOMPLETE (or "?"): "I don't know what I'm doing" 3: "pick meeeee!" 4: "my transit set this for me so you don't have to" 5: "I deaggregated a bunch of crap that you'll want to filter" 6: applied automatically in cases of more than 2 AS_PATH prepends 7: "prefix flaps so often it's effectively useless"
