A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : BGP Connection Collision Avoidance
Author(s) : E. Chen, J. Yuan
Filename : draft-chen-bgp-avoid-collision-00.txt
Pages : 4
Date : 2003-9-16
To simplify the BGP session bringup logic, in this document we
propose a revision that allows a BGP speaker to play only the active
or the passive role in establishing a BGP connection with another BGP
speaker. A BGP speaker determines whether it will play the active or
passive role based on the AS numbers and/or the peering addresses
involved.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
