The purpose of this report is to document how the requirements for
advancing a routing protocol from Draft Standard to full Standard
have been satisfied by Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP-4).
This report satisfies the requirement for'the second report', as
described in Section 6.0 of RFC 1264 [RFC1264].  In order to fulfill
the requirement, this report augments RFC 1774 [RFC1774] and
summarizes the key features of BGP protocol, and analyzes the
protocol with respect to scaling and performance.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org 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.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
