	Title           : Advertisement of the best-external route to IBGP
	Author(s)       : P. Roque Marques, et al.

This document makes a case and provides the rules for a border router
to advertise its best external route towards its IBGP peers when its
overall best is a route received from an IBGP peer.

The best external route may be different from the overall best route
installed in the Loc-Rib.  Advertising the best-external route (when
different from the overall best route) into an IBGP helps in speeding
up routing convergence, has positive effects in reducing inter-domain
churn and in some limited scenarios could help avoid permanent IBGP
route oscillation.

The document also extends this mechanism to route reflectors and
confederation border routers to advertise a best route that is
external to the cluster/domain.
