VIAVI TestCenter: VIAVI is sending incorrect fields length with OSPF BIER MPLS Sub TLV headers.

Knowledge Base - FAQ

If you add OSPF BIER MPLS Sub TLV headers on Spirent TestCenter and you look at the capture file, you will notice that: • OSPF Extended Prefix TLV header length is "00 20", which is 32. This header length is correct. • BIER SubTLV header length is "00 18", which is 24; if you count the length starting from that Sub-domain, it has only 20, so this header length is incorrect. • BIER MPLS SubTLV header length is "00 0c", which is 12; if you count the length starting from that Sub-domain, it is only 8, so this header length is also incorrect.
