A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Considerations in Validating the Path in Routing Protocols Author(s) : R. White Filename : draft-white-pathconsiderations-01.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2004-2-9 A good deal of consideration has gone into, and is currently being given to, validating the path to a destination advertised by an adjacent router or peer, such as [S-BGP], [SOBGP], and [IRV]. Since much of this effort has been focused on BGP, this draft discusses some issues with this work in terms of BGP. The theory advanced by this draft is that the AS Path of a received advertisement can only be validated, or proven 'correct', in one respect: that the advertiser has at least one known path to the destination advertised. A participant in a path vector routing protocol cannot verify (1) whether the path a packet takes to its destination corresponds to the path advertised by the routing protocol, or (2) whether the chosen path is in accordance with the policies of other ASes.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-white-pathconsiderations-01.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-white-pathconsiderations-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
