Appendix C. MSDP Packet Formats

MSDP Packet Formats
MSDP is the result of the collective work of many individuals. David Meyer and Bill Fenner serve as editors of the specification. The packet formats are described in section 16 of the current specification, which is included here in its entirety (it has been reformatted for consistency).
