[GROW] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-grow-diverse-bgp-path-dist-05.txt

Hi,

Authors of draft-ietf-grow-diverse-bgp-path-dist-05 would like to start 
WGLC. The current version 5 of the document has been stable for last two 
revisions. One shipping commercial implementation report has been 
documented in draft-mynam-grow-diverse-path-impl.

Many thx,
R.

    The BGP4 protocol specifies the selection and propagation of a single
    best path for each prefix.  As defined today BGP has no mechanisms to
    distribute paths other then best path between its speakers.  This
    behaviour results in number of disadvantages for new applications and
    services.

    This document presents an alternative mechanism for solving the
    problem based on the concept of parallel route reflector planes.
    Such planes can be build in parallel or they can co-exit on the
    current route reflection platforms.  Document also compares existing
    solutions and proposed ideas that enable distribution of more paths
    than just the best path.

    This proposal does not specify any changes to the BGP protocol
    definition.  It does not require upgrades to provider edge or core
    routers nor does it need network wide upgrades.  The authors believe
    that the GROW WG would be the best place for this work.
