BGP Communities to Proposed Standard

[Yakov Rekhter <[e-mail]>]

Folks,

At the last WG meeting we discussed BGP Communities attribute
and agreed to ask the IESG to publish it as a Proposed Standard. There
are two independent implementations of this attribute (BayNetworks and Cisco).

This is the WG last call on this document. If there will be no objections
within 2 weeks (4/26/96), I'll send a note to the IESG asking the IESG
to advance the Internet Draft to a Proposed Standard.

Yakov.

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 communities attribute                               
       Author(s) : R. Chandra, P. Traina, T. Li
       Filename  : draft-ietf-idr-communities-00.txt
       Pages     : 5
       Date      : 04/10/1996

Border Gateway Protocol [1] is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol 
designed for TCP/IP internets.  
                                           
This document describes an extension to BGP which may be used to pass 
additional information to both neighboring and remote BGP peers.    
       
The intention of the proposed technique is to aid in policy administration 
and reduce the management complexity of maintaining the Internet.          

Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.  Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address.  After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
     "get draft-ietf-idr-communities-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-communities-00.txt".
							
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
of the Internet-Draft.
