 Hi Rajiv,

This is a good work clarifying the path-availability check in BGP path selection.
Is this document supposed to update RFC 4271 section 9.1.2 in general?
I wonder, if you have any data or thoughts on whether the additonal check at the data-plane level will add any latency in BGP path selection process and thus have any effect on convergence?
A short paragraph on the impact on timing might be useful for implementors as it seems running BFD or any other mechanism to keep an up-to-date information of path-availability at the data-plane will avoid any delay in the path selection process.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : BGP Bestpath Selection Criteria Enhancement
	Author(s)       : Rajiv Asati
	Filename        : draft-ietf-idr-bgp-bestpath-selection-criteria-04.txt
	Pages           : 9
	Date            : 2011-08-17

   BGP specification [RFC4271] prescribes &#39;BGP next-hop reachability&#39;
   as one of the key &#39;Route Resolvability Condition&#39; that must be
   satisfied before the BGP bestpath candidate selection. This
   condition, however, may not be sufficient (as explained in the
   Appendix section) and desire further granularity.

   This document defines enhances the &quot;Route Resolvability Condition&quot;
   to facilitate the next-hop to be resolved in the chosen data plane.
