Title : Routing oscillations using BGP multiple paths advertisement
Author(s) : V. Van den Schrieck, O. Bonaventure
Filename : draft-vandenschrieck-bgp-add-paths-oscillations-00.txt

The advertisement of multiple paths for the same prefix in the Border
Gateway Protocol is possible by using an extension to the attributes
developed for multiprotocol transfer. This allows better path
diversity in the adj-rib-ins, and can prevent some routing
inconsistencies with Route Reflection. However, if not carefully
used, this mechanism can also introduce routing oscillations and
inconsistencies in topologies with Route Reflection that were correct
without this extension.

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.
