- BGP Minutes
-
- The Border Gateway Protocol Working Group meeting concentrated on the
- following issues:
-
- o Using BGP as an inter-autonomous system routing protocol for
- multicast.
-
- o Interaction of BGP with OSPF.
-
- o Using BGP as an inter-autonomous system routing protocol in Large
- Public Data Networks.
-
- o Repairing partitioned autonomous system with BGP.
-
- Scott Brim submitted a document that proposes several alternatives
- for using BGP as an inter-autonomous system routing protocol. The
- Working group feels that before making any further recommendations
- it needs more time to study the subject.
-
- The group met jointly with several members of the OSPF Working
- Group to discuss the issue of interaction between BGP and OSPF. It
- was agreed that it is very important to produce a document that
- will unambiguously define such interaction. Several members of
- both the OSPF and the BGP Working Groups agreed to work on such a
- document. We expect that the earlier draft of this document will
- be available before the next IETF.
-
- The BGP Working Group met jointly with the IPLPDN Working Group to
- discuss how BGP can be used as an inter-autonomous system routing
- protocol in Large Public Data Networks. The discussion centered
- around a presentation made by Paul Tsuchiya. Paul agreed to write
- a document that specifies how BGP should be used in such an
- environment. As part of this effort, Paul suggested adding new
- attributes to BGP that would identify the MAC address of the BGP
- peer. The document that describes this attribute will be posted to
- the BGP mailing list in the near future.
-
- Dennis Ferguson proposed a mechanism that would allow for repairing
- a partitioned autonomous system with BGP. This involves the
- addition of a new attribute. The document that describe this
- attribute and how it should be used in repairing a partitioned
- autonomous system will be posted to the BGP mailing list in the
- near future.
