The IESG has received a request from the Inter-Domain Routing WG (idr) to consider the following document: - 'Advertisement of Multiple Paths in BGP' <draft-ietf-idr-add-paths-13.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-04-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines a BGP extension that allows the advertisement of multiple paths for the same address prefix without the new paths implicitly replacing any previous ones. The essence of the extension is that each path is identified by a path identifier in addition to the address prefix. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-add-paths/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-add-paths/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
