Abstract:
RFC 5512 defines a BGP Path Attribute known as the "Tunnel
Encapsulation Attribute". This attribute allows one to specify a set
of tunnels. For each such tunnel, the attribute can provide the
information needed to create the tunnel and the corresponding
encapsulation header. The attribute can also provide information
that aids in choosing whether a particular packet is to be sent
through a particular tunnel. RFC 5512 states that the attribute is
only carried in BGP UPDATEs that have the "Encapsulation Subsequent
Address Family (Encapsulation SAFI)". This document deprecates the
Encapsulation SAFI (which has never been used), and specifies
semantics for the attribute when it is carried in UPDATEs of certain
other SAFIs. This document adds support for additional tunnel types,
and allows a remote tunnel endpoint address to be specified for each
tunnel. This document also provides support for specifying fields of
any inner or outer encapsulations that may be used by a particular
tunnel.
This document obsoletes RFC 5512.
