A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF. 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. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-dpa-05.txt". 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. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
