A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Capabilities Negotiation with BGP-4
Author(s) : J. Scudder, R. Chandra
Filename : draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-cap-neg-00.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 1997-09-09
Currently BGP-4 [BGP-4] requires that when a BGP speaker receives an
OPEN message with one or more unrecognized Optional Parameters, the
speaker must terminate BGP peering. This complicates introduction of
new capabilities in BGP.
This document defines new Optional Parameter, called Capabilities,
that is expected to facilitate introduction of new capabilities in
BGP by providing graceful capability negotiation.
The proposed parameter is backward compatible - a router that
supports the parameter can maintain BGP peering with a router that
doesn't support the parameter.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-cap-neg-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
