Packet Captures
4-byte_AS_numbers_Full_Support.cap 1.2 KB
Submitted Apr 30, 2010 by pierky
Router at 172.16.1.2 (hostname "D", AS 40.1 / 2621441) clears a previous established peering with 172.16.1.1 (hostname "A", AS 10.1 / 655361); They both support 32-bit ASN.
While opening the new session, they negotiate the "Four-octet AS Number Capability" (pkts n. 2 and 3).
Then, both "A" and "D" send some UPDATEs containing 4-octect encoded AS_PATH attributes (pkts n. 6 and 9). Please note: WireShark may show wrong paths unless you force 4-byte encoding in the Preferences / Protocols / BGP options.

4-byte_AS_numbers_Mixed_Scenario.cap 414 bytes
Submitted Apr 30, 2010 by pierky
Router "B" (AS 2) at 172.16.3.2 does not support 4-byte AS numbers, while router "A" (AS 10.1 / 655361) at 172.16.3.1 does.
Router "A" receives an UPDATE for the 40.0.0.0/8 subnet from an external router ("D") in the AS 40.1 / 2621441 (not shown), and it forwards it to "B" (pkt n. 2): AS_PATH contains "23456 23456" (the first stands for AS 10.1, the second for the originating AS 40.1), but NEW_AS_PATH contains the real 4-byte AS numbers.
At pkt n. 3 "B" receives the same subnet directly from "D" and sends it to "A", including the original NEW_AS_PATH attribute previously appended by "D".

Auto-RP.cap 726 bytes
Submitted Sep 14, 2009
Routers 2 and 3 have been configured as candidate RPs, and multicast RP announcements to 239.0.1.39. Router 1 is the RP. R1 sees the candidate RP announcements from R2 and R3, and designates R3 the RP because it has a higher IP address (3.3.3.3). R1 multicasts the RP mapping to 224.0.1.40. The capture is from the R1-R2 link.

EoMPLS.cap 7.0 KB
Submitted Oct 12, 2009 by pierky
Routers at 1.1.2.1 and 1.1.2.2 are PEs in a MPLS cloud. LDP starts at packet 8 and they build up a pseudo-wire VC (last FEC in packets 11 and 13). At packet 15 we already have STP running between CE1 and CE2 (two routers with ESW), encapsulated in 2 MPLS headers. All the ethernet stuff follows: CDP, ARP, ICMP between two hosts on the same subnet.
