A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6286 Title: Autonomous-System-Wide Unique BGP Identifier for BGP-4 Author: E. Chen, J. Yuan Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2011 Mailbox: enkechen@cisco.com, jenny@cisco.com Pages: 4 Characters: 7497 Updates: RFC4271 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-idr-bgp-identifier-14.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6286.txt To accommodate situations where the current requirements for the BGP Identifier are not met, this document relaxes the definition of the BGP Identifier to be a 4-octet, unsigned, non-zero integer and relaxes the "uniqueness" requirement so that only Autonomous-System-wide (AS-wide) uniqueness of the BGP Identifiers is required. These revisions to the base BGP specification do not introduce any backward compatibility issues. This document updates RFC 4271. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
