The IESG has received a request from the Secure Inter-Domain Routing WG (sidr) to consider the following document: - 'BGPsec Protocol Specification' <draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol-19.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 2016-12-16. 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 describes BGPsec, an extension to the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) that provides security for the path of autonomous systems through which a BGP update message passes. BGPsec is implemented via an optional non-transitive BGP path attribute that carries a digital signature produced by each autonomous system that propagates the update message. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
