This document standardizes a new well-known BGP community,
GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN, to signal the graceful shutdown of paths. This
document also describes operational procedures that use this
well-known community to reduce the amount of traffic lost when BGP peering
sessions are about to be shut down deliberately, e.g., for planned
maintenance.
This document is a product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.

for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
