[Idr] WG LC draft-ietf-idr-bgp-gr-notificatoin-02.txt - from 5/27/14 to 6/10/14

["Susan Hares" <[e-mail]>]

Working Group,

 

This is to begin a 2 week WG LC for
draft-ietf-idr-bgp-gr-notification-02.txt which will end on 6/10/2014.
Please put within your comments:  "support" or "no-support" for WG LC. 

 

Jeff Haas comments that the most recent changes reflect implementation
experience and some word smithing.  There is also a minor clarification in
the NOTIFICATION message with respect to including a data byte so the
original reason for the event can be propagated.  (See sec. 3.1 in the
diff.)

 

The abstract is below.

Abstract:

   The current BGP Graceful Restart mechanism limits the usage of BGP

   Graceful Restart to BGP protocol messages other than a BGP

   NOTIFICATION message.  This document defines an extension to the BGP

   Graceful Restart that permits the Graceful Restart procedures to be

   performed when the BGP speaker receives a BGP NOTIFICATION Message.

   This document also defines a new BGP NOTIFICATION Cease Error subcode

   to prevent BGP speakers supporting the extension defined in this

   document from performing a Graceful Restart.
