The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Capabilities Advertisement with BGP-4' <draft-ietf-idr-rfc2842bis-02.txt> as a Draft Standard. This action will obsolete RFC2842. This document is the product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bill Fenner and Randy Bush. Technical Summary This document defines an Optional BGP-4 HELLO Parameter, called Capabilities, that facilitates introduction of new capabilities in BGP by providing graceful capability advertisement without requiring that the BGP peering be terminated if new capabilities are not supported. Working Group Summary There was broad consensus in the IDR WG to advance this document to Draft Standard. Protocol Quality Bill Fenner reviewed the specification for the IESG. This protocol is widely implemented, as it is the basis for many heavily used BGP-4 extensions, such as the Multiprotocol Extensions (RFC 2858) and Route Refresh (RFC 2918).
