Abstract:
   RFC 5492 defines capabilities advertisement for the BGP peer.  In
   addition, it is useful to be able to advertise BGP Next-Hop dependant
   capabilities, in particular for forwarding plane features.  RFC 5492
   is not applicable because the BGP peer may be different from the BGP
   Next-Hop, in particular when BGP Route Reflection is used.  This
   document defines a mechanism to advertise such BGP Next Hop dependant
   Capabilities.

   This document defines a new BGP non-transitive attribute to carry
   Next-Hop Capabilities.  This attribute is deleted or possibly
   modified when the BGP Next Hop is changed.

   This document also defines a Next-Hop capability to advertise the
   ability to handle the MPLS Entropy Label defined in RFC 6790.  It
   updates RFC 6790 with regard to this BGP signaling.
