A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Preserving BGP Next-Hops
Author(s) : R. Aggarwal, C. Kodeboyina
Filename : draft-raggarwa-bgp-nexthop-rewrite-00.txt
Pages : 6

A BGP speaker uses the NEXT_HOP attribute or the MP_REACH_NLRI
attribute to advertise the IP address that should be used as the next
hop to the destinations listed in the Network Layer Reachability
Information (NLRI). This next hop may be rewritten by other BGP
speakers when the NLRI is re-advertised. Some applications depend on
the original BGP next hop. This document proposes a mechanism to
preserve the original BGP next hop.

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.
