Technical Summary The documents included in this package provide the technical specification, the MIB module description and the supporting documentation for the revision of the BGPv4 protocol. BGPv4 is a path-vector routing protocol currently used in the Internet for classless IPv4 inter-domain routing. The protocol allows a certain degree of policy routing among the domains. Working Group Summary The WG has been working on the revised version of the protocol specification for the last few years. Discussions on specific issues and related consensus assessment have been documented. Documents in the package have passed the WG LC, and are now ready for the IESG review. Protocol Quality BGPv4 is widely implemented and deployed. The implementations are tested for interoperability between different vendors on a regular basis. The specification has been reviewed thoroughly my numerous WG participants, members of the Routing Area directorate, and Area Directors. RFC Editor Note draft-ietf-idr-bgp-analysis-06.txt: Abstract: OLD: The purpose of this report is to document how the requirements for advancing a routing protocol from Draft Standard to full Standard have been satisfied by Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP-4). NEW: The purpose of this report is to document how the requirements for publication of a routing protocol as an Internet Draft Standard have been satisfied by Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP-4). Section 1 "Introduction" OLD: BGP-4 is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol designed for TCP/IP internets. Version 1 of the BGP-4 protocol was published in [RFC1105]. Since then BGP versions 2, 3, and 4 have been developed. Version 2 was documented in [RFC1163].
