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.
