The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Avoid BGP Best Path Transitions from One External to Another ' <draft-ietf-idr-avoid-transition-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Dave Ward and Ross Callon. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-avoid-transition-05.txt Technical Summary This document describes a revision to the BGP route selection rules that would avoid unnecessary best path transitions between external paths under certain conditions. The proposed revision would help the overall network stability, and more importantly, would eliminate certain BGP route oscillations in which more than one external paths from one BGP speaker contribute to the churn. Working Group Summary The WG had consensus to advance this document. Protocol Quality Bill Fenner reviewed this document for the IESG. The implementation report is available at http://www.ietf.org/IESG/Implementations/implem_EBGP.txt _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
