[Idr] draft-rosen-idr-aigp-00

[Robert Raszuk <[e-mail]>]

All,

I would like to support the suggestion made yesterday by Enke Chen, 
Keyur Patel and Danny which suggested to make a good analysis for using 
MED + Cost Community which are an already existing tools to achieve the 
same functionality as the draft proposed via a definition of a new AIGP 
attribute.

In fact the problem described in the draft is a very good example where 
practical problem can be solved using the above two solutions combined 
together.

It can be a very good motivation for restarting work on cost community 
itself which were last posted draft-retana-bgp-custom-decision-00. There 
are apparently practical cases which this draft has a potential to solve 
and IMHO there is a saving to implement something once and then reuse 
for various applications as opposed to implementing separate attributes 
which would at the end result in more burden to BGP and deployment 
difficulties.

Cheers,
R.
