Title : Enhanced BGP Capabilities for Exchanging Additional Nth-Best Paths
Author(s) : B. Dickson
Filename : draft-dickson-idr-well-ordered-nth-best-01.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 2008-07-13
This Internet Draft describes an enhanced way to exchange prefix
information, so as to permit multiple copies of a prefix, with
different paths, to be announced and withdrawn.
This negotiated capability facilitates faster local (inter-AS) and
global (intra-AS) convergence, reduces path-hunting, improves route-
reflector behaviour, including eliminating persistent oscillations.
Additional prefix instances have a new wire format for updates and
withdrawals, to control path selection.
Benefits are seen both when deployed intra-AS, and on inter-AS
peering.
