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.
This document is a product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
