- The purpose of this memo is twofold. First, it describes various
- alternatives for exchanging inter-domain routing information across
- domain boundaries, where one of the peering domain is CIDR-capable and
- another is not. Second, it addresses the implications of running
- CIDR-capable inter-domain routing protocols (e.g., BGP-4, IDRP) on
- intra-domain routing. This document is not intended to cover all the
- cases (either real or imaginable). Rather, it focuses on what are
- viewed to be the most common cases. We expect that individual service
- providers will use this document as guidelines in establishing their
- specific operational plans for the transition to CIDR.
