The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'NOPEER community for BGP route scope control' <draft-ietf-ptomaine-nopeer-02.txt> as an Informational RFC. This document is the product of the Prefix Taxonomy Ongoing Measurement & Inter Network Experiment Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen. Technical Summary This document proposes the use of a BGP community to advise BGP peers and others on the scope of propagation the originating AS intended for a prefix. This proposed well-known advisory transitive community is intended to allow an origin AS to specify the extent to which it suggests that a specific prefix should be externally propagated. In particular this community, termed here as NOPEER, allows an origin AS to suggest that a route with this attribute need not be advertised across bilateral peer connections. Working Group Summary There were no technical issues raised in working group discussion or working group last call. Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush.
