The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BGP Persistent Route Oscillation Solutions' (draft-ietf-idr-route-oscillation-stop-04.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-route-oscillation-stop/ Technical Summary This document presents two sets of paths for an address prefix that can be advertised by a BGP route reflector or confederation ASBR to eliminate the MED-induced route oscillations in a network. The first set involves all the available paths, and would achieve the same routing consistency as the full IBGP mesh. The second set, which is a subset of the first one, involves the neighbor-AS based Group Best Paths, and would be sufficient to eliminate the MED- induced route oscillations (subject to certain commonly adopted topological constrains). Working Group Summary Strong consensus. Good discussion on the list. https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/idr/current/msg14201.html Document Quality Implemented in Juniper, Cisco RTG-DIR review: Tony Przygienda This was discussed for over 5 years, and deployed. We are just slow in getting it standardized. Personnel Document Shepherd: Susan Hares AD: Alia Atlas (Alvaro Retana is the author)
