Abstract:

   Today, a BGP speaker can advertise one nexthop for a set of NLRIs in
   an Update message.  This nexthop can be encoded in either the top-
   level BGP-Nexthop attribute (code 3), or inside the MP_REACH_NLRI
   attribute (code 14).  Forwarding information related to the nexthop
   is scattered across various attributes, extended communities or the
   NLRI field.

   This document defines a new optional non-transitive BGP attribute
   called "MultiNexthop (MNH)" with IANA BGP attribute type code TBD,
   that can be used to carry an ordered set of one or more Nexthops in
   the same Update message, with all forwarding information being
   carried in one attribute, scoped on a per nexthop basis.
