The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'NOPEER community for BGP
route scope control' <draft-ietf-ptomaine-nopeer-02.txt> as an
Informational RFC. This document is the product of the Prefix Taxonomy
Ongoing Measurement & Inter Network Experiment Working Group. The IESG
contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen.
Technical Summary
This document proposes the use of a BGP community to advise
BGP peers and others on the scope of propagation the originating
AS intended for a prefix. This proposed well-known advisory
transitive community is intended to allow an origin AS to specify
the extent to which it suggests that a specific prefix should be
externally propagated. In particular this community, termed here
as NOPEER, allows an origin AS to suggest that a route with this
attribute need not be advertised across bilateral peer
connections.
Working Group Summary
There were no technical issues raised in working group
discussion or working group last call.
Protocol Quality
This document was reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush.
