#Keyur: BGP has its own Pub sub model through use of RT. You could use it
if you like. :)

#Keyur: The draft provides a way to have a service discovery.

#Keyur: I haven't seen a solution yet and so cant speak for it. ;)
However, the draft provides BGP as a transport for service discovery and
service advertisement.

#Keyur: Sure.
