[bess] IETF LC for IDR-ish document <draft-ietf-grow-bgp-reject-05.txt> (Default EBGP Route Propagation Behavior Without Policies) to Proposed Standard

[Robert Raszuk <[e-mail]>]

Hi Warren,

This is clearly not unanimous/ not everyone is happy, but (in my view)

​The group of users of BGP which this update impacts the most are members
of BESS WG (cc-ed) and not IDR WG due to the fact that this proposal
applies to all AFI/SAFIs.

IMO before you progress anywhere with this IETF LC BESS WG should express
their formal opinion on it.

Example of in or out eBGP policy where you are sending MAC addresses in
EVPN AF needs to be provided and explained why it makes sense. Likewise
examples of RTC AF for L3VPN Inter-as needs to be discussed.

Otherwise the group of people which defined a lot of non ISP uses of BGP
may be
suddenly surprised down the read for keeping them out of the loop and have
customers loosing reachability upon compliant non sequential router OS
upgrade.

Cheers,
Robert.
