A New Internet-Draft is available

Title  : Advertising Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routes in BGP
Author(s) : M. Bhatia
Filename : draft-bhatia-ecmp-routes-in-bgp-00.txt
Pages  : 7
Date  : 2003-5-14

This document describes an extensible mechanism that will allow a BGP
[BGP4] speaker to advertise equal cost multi-path (ECMP) routes for a
destination to its peers without changing the semantics of the UPDATE
message.

A new BGP attribute is introduced that will be used to advertise the
multiple next hops for the feasible and the un-feasible ECMP BGP routes to
the remote peers.

The mechanisms described in this document are applicable to all routers,
both those with the ability to inject multiple routing  entries in their
forwarding table and those without (although the latter need not implement
some extensions described in this document).
