Good ‘ole NAS - tried and tested technology. Not your fault.
If it failed in the bit that does the conversion then technically you can still blame NAS because of the need to have that function. But it appears to have failed whilst parsing the route which I suspect may be one of their more standard software modules.as lots of the variants will need to do that. That said IFPS which is a relative must do some of that in order to know when to send the plan to each state but it didn't fail.
