You, and the rest of the working group, are explicitly solicited to provide
your feedback on what *is* required for BGP auto-discovery for a DC context.[1]

The draft provides a framework for how the requirements are analyzed in
terms of:
- What BGP needs for a session to come up.
- How a discovering peer can choose whether it wants to peer with the
  discovered thing.
- What the transport requirements are for the discovery protocol.
- What the security considerations are for your desired properties.

Please provide your requirements with those things addressed.
