[Xorp-users] Policy network4 operator

[Mike Horn]

> Hi all,

> Pavlin and I have been discussing what the "right" direction should be for
> the network4 operator in policy statements.  Right now if you specify
> "network4 <= 10.0.0.0/8" this would match all the 10.0.0.0/8 and longer
> prefixes (i.e. 10.0.0.0/9, 10.1.0.0/16, etc.).
> 
> My recommendation is to change the operator from "<=" matches longer
> prefixes to ">=" matches longer prefixes, since this seems more intuitive
> to me (/9 is > /8) and this would make it match the "prefix-length4"
> operator where "prefix-length4 > 24" matches all prefixes longer than /24.
> 
> Which do you prefer:
> 
> A) keep it the way it is now, < matches longer prefixes
> B) changing it to use > for longer prefix matches
