- Reported by Yakov Rekhter/IBM
-
- BGP Minutes
-
- Discussion focused on the following subjects:
-
-
- 1. Collision detection in BGP.
- Yakov Rekhter presented a proposal that allows detection of such a
- such collision.
- 2. Third party advertising.
- Matt Mathis suggested that BGP should be less restrictive with
- respect to what can be advertised as a next hop. This was also
- supported by other members of the Working Group (specifically Scott
- Brim and Jeff Honig).
- 3. Carrying MAC address of the next hop.
- Paul Tsuchiya proposed to either replace IP address of the next hop
- with the MAC address or to carry both IP address and MAC address of
- the next hop.
- 4. Abbreviated form of an unreachable route.
- Yakov Rekhter presented a proposal from Dennis Ferguson (who was
- not present at the meeting, but posted his proposal to the IWG
- mailing list) that allows simplification (and shortening) of the
- announcement of unreachable routes.
- 5. Sorting path attributes within the UPDATE message.
- Scott Brim suggested that for efficiency, path attributes within
- the UPDATE message should be sorted by attribute type.
-
-
-
- The group agreed with items 1, 2, 4, and 5, but did not feel that
- carrying MAC address (either in addition or instead of IP address) of
- the next hop is desirable. The group recommended incorporating changes
- into RFC1163 to reflect items 1, 2, 4, and 5.
-
-
- Yakov Rekhter agreed to generate modified text of RFC1163 that would
- include these changes. The modified document will be posted on the IWG
- mailing list within a week from the meeting.
