Mon, Jun 02, 2003 at 11:24:35AM -0400, The IESG:
The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'NOPEER community for BGP
route scope control' <draft-ietf-ptomaine-nopeer-03.txt> as a BCP.
This document is the product of the Prefix Taxonomy Ongoing Measurement
& Inter Network Experiment Working Group. The IESG contact persons are
Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen.
Technical Summary
This document proposes the use of a BGP community to advise BGP
peers and others on the scope of propagation the originating AS
intended for a prefix. This proposed well-known advisory
transitive community is intended to allow an origin AS to specify
the extent to which it suggests that a specific prefix should be
externally propagated. In particular this community, termed here
as NOPEER, allows an origin AS to suggest that a route with this
attribute need not be advertised across bilateral peer
connections.
Working Group Summary
There were no technical issues raised in working group discussion
or working group last call.
Protocol Quality
This document was reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush.
