Abstract:

   Flow-spec is an extension to BGP that allows for the dissemination of
   traffic flow specification rules.  This has many possible
   applications, but the primary one for many network operators is the
   distribution of traffic filtering actions for distributed denial of
   service (DDoS) mitigation.  The flow-spec standard [RFC8955] defines
   a redirect-to-VRF action for policy-based forwarding.  This mechanism
   can be difficult to use, particularly in networks without L3 VPN
   infrastructure.

   This draft defines a new redirect-to-IP flow-spec action that
   provides a simpler method of policy-based forwarding.  The details of
   the action, including the IPv4 or IPv6 target address, are encoded in
   newly defined BGP extended communities.
