The length of BGP objects is not automatically calculated (the 'len' field'). Please calculate the length automatically when encoding a BGP object.

As a workaround, I have to calculate the length manually this way:

msg = ... msg_with_headers = dpkt.bgp.BGP(len=dpkt.bgp.BGP.hdr_len + len(msg), type=msg_type) msg_with_headers.data = msg
