Congratulations to the authors and the working group!
BGP is one of the work areas BMWG has been pursuing as long
as I can remember, certainly before 2003...

> BGP is widely deployed and used by several service providers as the
> default inter-AS (Autonomous System) routing protocol.  It is of
> utmost importance to ensure that when a BGP peer or a downstream link
> of a BGP peer fails, the alternate paths are rapidly used and routes
> via these alternate paths are installed.  This document provides the
> basic BGP benchmarking methodology using existing BGP convergence
> terminology as defined in RFC 4098.
