	Title		: Avoid BGP Best Path Transitions from One 
                          External to Another
	Author(s)	: E. Chen, S. Sangli
	Filename	: draft-ietf-idr-avoid-transition-04.txt
	Pages		: 7
	Date		: 2005-12-27

In this document we propose a revision to the BGP route selection
   rules that would avoid unnecessary best path transitions between
   external paths under certain conditions. The proposed revision would
   help the overall network stability, and more importantly, would
   eliminate certain BGP route oscillations in which more than one
   external paths from one BGP speaker contribute to the churn.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org 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.
