Section 4 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2545

  "... The BGP Identifier is a 32 bit unsigned integer exchanged between
  two peers at session establishment time, within an OPEN message. This
  is a system wide value determined at startup which must be unique in
  the network and should be derived from an IPv4 address regardless of
  the network protocol(s) a particular BGP-4 instance is configured to
  convey at a given moment."
