	Title		: Requirements for the graceful shutdown of BGP sessions

The BGP protocol is heavily used in Service Provider networks both 
   for Internet and BGP/MPLS VPN services. For resiliency purposes, 
   redundant routers and BGP sessions can be deployed to reduce the 
   consequences of an AS Border Router or BGP session breakdown on 
   customers' or peers' traffic. However simply taking down a BGP 
   session for maintenance purposes may still induce connectivity losses 
   during the BGP convergence. This is no more satisfactory for new 
   applications (e.g. voice over IP, on line gaming, VPN). Therefore, a 
   solution is required for the graceful shutdown of a (set of) BGP Requirements for the graceful shutdown of BGP sessions 
 
 
   session(s) in order to limit the amount of traffic loss during a 
   planned shutdown. This document expresses requirements for such a 
   solution.
