I-D Tag: draft-ietf-idr-bgp-identifier-14.txt
URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6286.txt
To accommodate situations where the current requirements for the BGP
Identifier are not met, this document relaxes the definition of the
BGP Identifier to be a 4-octet, unsigned, non-zero integer and relaxes
the "uniqueness" requirement so that only Autonomous-System-wide (AS-wide)
uniqueness of the BGP Identifiers is required. These revisions to the
base BGP specification do not introduce any backward compatibility
issues. This document updates RFC 4271. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
