- Description of Working Group:
-
- The major purpose of this group is to coordinate BGP deployment
- and application in the current Internet.
-
- It intends to create a forum for BGP users to share BGP deployment
- experiences and also provide a channel for users to communicate
- with router vendors who implemented or implementing BGP.
- It also intends to discuss BGP policy application and coordiante
- policy implementation in the current internet routing enviroment
- which includes define the usage of policy, define a mechanism
- to share policy information, etc.
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Helping deploy BGP as widely as possible
-
- Define BGP policy usage and application
-
- Define mechanism to share policy information between Routing doamins

-
- Agenda
- - Coordinate BGP deployment
- - Coordinate BGP policy implementations
-
- 1) Implementation testing for interoperability and verification
- before production deployment is desirable.
- 2) RFC 1267 & 1268 refers to the latest BGP protocol and usage.
- 3) Tony Li from cisco volunteered to coordinate joint testing.
- He is reachable at cs@cisco.com. Jessica Yu volunteered Merit as the
- place where the testing could occur.
- 4) Who's using BGP?
- - PSC - gated on T1 NSS and T3 ENSS.
- - SDSC - gated on T1 NSS.
- - CA*Net - gated with Dennis Furgusson's extensions.
- - Cornell/ICM - cisco.
- - Merit - cisco 8.2(6) on T1 and T3 NSS.
- - VPI - cisco on T3
- - IBM Information Network - cisco on T3
- - ANS connection to T3 backbone
- 5) who's testing it
- - Sesquinet
- - Argonne
- - ConcertNet
- - ESNet
- - Nearnet
- - EASINet
- 6) Who has implemented it?
- - cisco BGP2 in software release 8.3.
- - NSFNET which supports BGP1 and BGP2.
- - gated which supports BGP1 only.
- - implementation from Canada.
- - BBN in the T20 router - BGP3.
- 7) BGP status in gated - by Scott Brim.
- - BGP2 & BGP3.
- - Flexible definition of neighbors.
- - Internal, External, and Test neighbor definition. Test
- dumps everything to peer but believes nothing.
- - IBGP works. Can run with OSPF and synchronizes correctly.
- Currently there is no flexibility to adapt to other IGPs.
- - Shared subnet between external neighbors is enforced.
- - If between two ASs, can have different AS numbers, and ASpaths
- will be correct.
- - Improved performance.
- - RFC 1164 specifies a policy language that has been implemented
- in gated.
- 8) BGP MIB
- - Will be updated to reflect the latest protocol version 1Q92
- 9) cisco implementation status - by Tony Li.
- - BGP2 available in 8.3(1) and 8.2(7) soon.
- - 9.0 available 1Q92 which has BGP2 & BGP3.
- - AS-path access lists are supported. Uses regular expressions.
- - BGP to do list - for future,no commitments.
- - multiple BGP processes.
- - use AS number filter for redistribution into OSPF.
- - performance enhancements.
- - convergence time improvements to IP forwarding table for
- BGP routes.
- 10) NSFNET's implementation status - by Yakov Rekhter.
- - current version is BGP2. Plans to use gated's implementation.
- - plans to carry BGP information in IS-IS as an alternative to
- internal BGP.
- 11) What sites tried BGP but backed it out and reasons why.
- - NEARnet
- - redistribution problems.
- - ESNet
- - access list problems.
- - MILnet at FIX-E
- - ran into meomory shortage problem due to usage of CSC2
- board. In the process of upgrading it to CSC3 board.
- - BARRNet
- - multiple vendors interoperating with half running BGP had
- consistency problems.
- - Sesquinet
- - redistribution problems
- will try new software from cisco.
- 12) Mailing list is iwg@rice.edu.
