This document outlines a specification for multilateral
interconnections at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). Multilateral
interconnection is a method of exchanging routing information among
three or more External BGP (EBGP) speakers using a single
intermediate broker system, referred to as a route server. Route
servers are typically used on shared access media networks, such as
IXPs, to facilitate simplified interconnection among multiple
Internet routers.
This document is a product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
