The IESG has approved the following documents: - 'Outbound Route Filtering Capability for BGP-4 ' <draft-ietf-idr-route-filter-17.txt> as a Proposed Standard - 'Address Prefix Based Outbound Route Filter for BGP-4 ' <draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-orf-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard These documents are products of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are David Ward and Ross Callon. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-route-filter-17.txt Technical Summary These documents define a BGP-based mechanism that allows a BGP speaker to send to its BGP peer a set of route filters that the peer would use to constrain/filter its outbound routing updates to the speaker. Working Group Summary This mechanism is widely deployed by multiple vendors and the technology has had no dissent and is considered very useful. Protocol Quality The extension is widely deployed and there are many interoperable implementations. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
