The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BGP Route Reflection - An Alternative to Full Mesh IBGP ' <draft-ietf-idr-rfc2796bis-02.txt> as a Draft Standard This document is the product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bill Fenner and Alex Zinin. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-rfc2796bis-02.txt Technical Summary This document describes the use and design of a method known as "Route Reflection" to alleviate the the need for "full mesh" IBGP. Route Reflection relaxes the rule that a route learned via IBGP must not be sent to another IBGP peer, for designated peers called "Route Reflectors". It then replaces the full mesh among IBGP speakers with a single peering to a Route Reflector. This update adds an update to the BGP Decision Process. Working Group Summary There was working group consensus to advance this specification to Draft Standard. Protocol Quality Bill Fenner reviewed this specification for the IESG. There are several known implementations, as described in the accompanying implementation report, available at the following URL: http://www.ietf.org/IESG/Implementations/RFC2796-implementations.txt _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
