Hi everyone,
It looks like we've managed to find another strange problem with BGP on 
SEOS. In the night one of our peers session started to flap with 
following message:
May 29 10:52:01: [0001]: %BGP-6-INFO: 195.149.233.1 UP
May 29 10:52:15: [0001]: %BGP-6-INFO: 195.149.233.1 DOWN - Notification sent
May 29 10:52:15: [0001]: %BGP-6-INFO: 195.149.233.1 send NOTIFICATION: 
3/11 (update: malformed ASPATH) with 21 byte data. mxReadMs=1555

It does not look like previously mentioned attribute flag error. Does 
anyone had something simillar ? It is a session with route server, so i 
know about "no enforce first-as" option and it is turned on, it was 
working fine till this night with no configuration change on our side.

"show bgp malform update" looks like this:
May 29 10:52:15 Malformed UPDATE msg (nbr 195.149.233.1, context 
0x40080001, 77 bytes, repeated 5 times, reason: Invalid msg) -
  ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 004d 0200 0000 3240 0101 0040

0404 0000 0000 c007 0800 0073 5fc3 95ef ff16 c395 ec

SEOS version SEOS-12.1.1.11p7-Release

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
