Failure Decoding the Packet

The message "Failure Decoding the Packet" means that the server cannot process a packet which it has received. This failure may be caused by one of the following:

  • The server has run out of memory,

  • There are malformed Vendor-Specific Attributes (VSAs) within the packet.

  • The Type-Length-Value (TLV) is too deep.

  • Unusual or unexpected packet structures cause packets to be malformed in some weird way.

In all these cases, the server discards the packet.
