This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : AS-wide Unique BGP Identifier for BGP-4
	Author(s)       : E. Chen, J. Yuan
	Filename        : draft-ietf-idr-bgp-identifier-13.txt
	Pages           : 5
	Date            : 2011-01-18

To accommodate situations where the current requirements for the BGP
Identifier are not met, this document relaxes the definition of the
BGP Identifier to be a 4-octet unsigned, non-zero integer, and
relaxes the "uniqueness" requirement so that only AS-wide uniqueness
of the BGP Identifiers is required. These revisions to the base BGP
specification do not introduce any backward compatibility issue.
