CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
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.
