Abstract:

   RFC 5492 allows a BGP speaker to advertise its capabilities to its
   peer.  When a route is propagated beyond the immediate peer, it is
   useful to allow certain capabilities, or other properties, to be
   conveyed further.  In particular, it is useful to advertise
   forwarding plane features.

   This specification defines a BGP transitive attribute to carry such
   capability information, the "Next Hop Dependent Capabilities
   Attribute," or NHC.  Unlike the capabilities defined by RFC 5492,
   those conveyed in the NHC apply solely to the routes advertised by
   the BGP UPDATE that contains the particular NHC.

   This specification also defines an NHC capability that can be used to
   advertise the ability to process the MPLS Entropy Label as an egress
   LSR for all NLRI advertised in the BGP UPDATE.  It updates RFC 6790
   and RFC 7447 concerning this BGP signaling.
