I'm trying to decode BGP Update packets for a BGP-AD (autodiscovery) VPLS L2VPN
topology.  This extension to BGP is defined in RFC6074.

I'm getting 'Malformed Packet' errors.  Wireshark is able to decode up to the
point of the Subnetwork point of attachment, but does not further decode the
remaining fields of this update found on page 13 of the RFC (Length, Route
Distinguisher, PE_addr).

Please find a capture attached.

I believe the decode for the first NLRI should be:

00 0c                 Length: 12
00 00 fe 0e 00 00 07 f6              RD: 65038:2038
ac 19 8d 18            PE IP addr: 172.25.141.24

Thanks,
Ryan
