Abstract:

   RFC 5492 allows a BGP speaker to advertise its capabilities to its
   peer.  When a route is propagated beyond the immediate peer, it is
   useful to allow certain characteristics to be conveyed further.  In
   particular, it is useful to advertise forwarding plane features.

   This specification defines a BGP transitive attribute to carry such
   information, the "Next Hop Dependent Characteristics Attribute," or
   NHC.  Unlike the capabilities defined by RFC 5492, the
   characteristics conveyed in the NHC apply solely to the routes
   advertised by the BGP UPDATE that contains the particular NHC.
