The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Graceful BGP session shutdown' (draft-ietf-grow-bgp-gshut-13.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Benoit Claise. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-bgp-gshut/ Technical Summary This draft standardizes a new well-known BGP community GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN to signal the graceful shutdown of paths. This draft also describes operational procedures which use this community to reduce the amount of traffic lost when BGP peering sessions are about to be shut down deliberately, e.g. for planned maintenance. Working Group Summary This document spent a long time in WG (10 years or so), with progress early on, then awaiting other work to finish, and finally a last surge of call/response/fixes and now we have consensus. Document Quality There are existing platforms which respect the draft community, the document got some last minute cleanup / reorg and is in good shape today.
