Title : Destination Preference Attribute for BGP
Author(s) : E. Chen, T. Bates
Filename : draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-05.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 03/13/1996
The Border Gateway Protocol [1] is an inter-autonomous system routing
protocol designed for TCP/IP internets.
This document describes a new BGP path attribute termed "Destination
Preference Attribute" (DPA) which can be used by a single autonomous system
(AS) to specify globally transitive metrics in its routing announcement via
BGP. The metric can then be used by upstream BGP speakers to favor certain
path for return traffic. The application of this attribute includes
facilitating the implementation of symmetric routing and load sharing in
the multi-provider Internet.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.

Title : BGP Route Reflection
An alternative to full mesh IBGP
Author(s) : T. Bates, R. Chandra
Filename : draft-ietf-idr-route-reflect-00.txt
Pages : 8
Date : 03/13/1996
The Border Gateway Protocol [1] is an inter-autonomous system routing
protocol designed for TCP/IP internets. BGP deployments are configured such
that that all BGP speakers within a single AS must be fully meshed so that
any external routing information must be re-distributed to all other
routers within that AS. This represents a serious scaling problem that has
been well documented with several alternatives proposed [2,3].
This document describes the use and design of a method known as "Route
Reflection" to alleviate the the need for "full mesh" IBGP.
