	Title           : Extended Optional Parameters Length for BGP OPEN Message
	Author(s)       : E. Chen, J. Scudder
	Filename        : draft-ietf-idr-ext-opt-param-00.txt
	Pages           : 5
	Date            : 2010-03-26

The Optional Parameters in the BGP OPEN message as defined in the
base BGP specification are limited to 255 octets due to a one-octet
length field.  BGP Capabilities are carried in this field and may
foreseeably exceed 255 octets in the future, leading to concern about
this limitation.

In this document we extend the BGP OPEN length field in a backward-
compatible manner.  The Parameter Length field of individual Optional
Parameters is similarly extended.
