Subject: PIM padded packets

I wonder what a PIM-DM implementation should do about receiving PIM-DM
control packets padded with additional proprietary data?

While conducting interoperability with a Cisco router, we observed that
Graft messages are padded with an additional 8 bytes. When sending the
received Graft message as an Ack, the Cisco router continues to send
Graft messages.
