I've included the comments I've received. Please review these notes. If I don't hear anything by 3/21/96, the notes will be considered correct. Please note ">" indicates a line that was changed. Sue Hares ======= BGP Working Group Date: 3/5/96 time 3:30pm -5:30pm PST (note taker: Susan Hares) (version 2: changes have > in front of line) 1) BGP-4 MIB (draft-ietf-bgp-mibv4-06.txt) Jeff Johnson (Cisco), the latest editor, of the BGP-4 MIB document will make the few minor editorial changes given by the list. The working group needs to forward two reports of those using the BGP-4 MIB. Cisco and GateD have BGP-4 mibs. Someone from Cisco, and Sue Hares from Merit will forward experience reports to Yakov to send to the IESG. At this point the BGP-4 MIB will be forwarded to Draft Standard. MIB entries for newer attributes (Destination Preference Attribute, BGP communities, and Conferations) will go in a separate document. 2) IDRP for IPv[46] (draft-ietf-idr-idrp-v4v6-02.txt) Yakov will produce a complete IDRP specification based on the the difference document and the IDRP specification. Anyone wishing to comment on features in BGP-4 or the features in the existing document should send mail to the mailing list or Yakov Rekhter. 3) Confederation (Ramesh Govindan) (draft-ietf-idr-rdc-config-00.txt) One problem with IDRP confederations is that every BGP speaker must know what confederations it belongs to. This amount of configuration guarantees that the correct processing of confederations even if individual nodes are mis-configured. If instead you, configure - only the border routers AND - if there is ambiquity, assume nesting You may be able to limit configuration amounts. This proposal had some discussion from the floor and will continued to be discussed on the mailing list. 4) Destination Preference Attribute (DPA) > (draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-05.txt > draft-ietf-idr-dpa-application-02.txt draft-ietf-idr-symm-multi-prov-02.txt) The processing of the the DPA value is currently included in the route policy calculation as: Multi-Exit-Discriminator (MED) - 1st Destination Preference Attribute (DPA) - 2nd > Consensus has been reached by all parties and will be put out as > draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-06.txt. After the document > to the working and Internet Drafts this document will be > moved to Proposed Standard. > The associated documents: > draft-ietf-idr-dpa-application-02.txt > draft-ietf-idr-symm-multi-prov-02.txt > > will be moved to informational RFCs. > > > New text for this decision in the DPA document is: > > A router may use DPA to influence LOCAL_PREF computation. DPA shall > not directly affect route selection. > > DPA influence of the LOCAL_PREF attribute computation is a local > matter. In general a route with a higher DPA indicates a higher > preference by the originator of the DPA attribute. 5) BGP communities The BGP community specification has been release for over a year. It has been implemented by Bay networks and Cisco. It is suggested that Yakov make the last call, and move it to proposed standard. > (document was at: draft-chandra-bgp-communities-00.txt > will be at: draft-ietf-idr-bgp-communities-00.txt) Tony Bates and Enke Chen has released a draft on the usage of communities. Enke Chen made a presentation of this feature at the NANOG meeting in February 1996. > This document is currently listed as: > draft-ietf-idr-community-usage.txt 6) BGP Confederations draft-trainia-bgp-confed-00.txt It was moved that is be moved to experimental. In deployment Cisco discovered some problems with this approach. 7) Route Reflection draft-ietf-idr-route-reflect-00.txt Cisco has implemented the route reflection a year ago. MCI has used this in it's network for a year. (Has Bay implemented this?) The working group recommends that this move forward to experimental. A work item for the group is to decide which solution to the IBGP mesh problem will be selected by the group: the Route Reflection or the Route Server (Dimitry Haskins) or a cobmination of both. Fun quotes: "You forced this @#* MIB down my throat." "Standards don't matter if the code is running in all the routers"
