A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing Working 
Group of the IETF.                                                         

       Title     : BGP AS Path Metrics

In this memo, the extended (per-hop) BGP metrics are proposed to allow 
network operators to implement routing policies which are common cases in 
the practice but require complicated ad-hoc configurations given the 
virtual absence of globally significant metrics in BGP-4.          

BGP is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol designed for 
TCP/IP internets.  The current version is BGP-4 documented in RFC 1654, 
versions 1-3 are documented in RFCs 1105, 1163 and 1267 accordingly.        

This document is a supplement to RFC 1654, and describes the 
new features in terms of differences from BGP-4.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
