The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Recommendation for Not Using AS_SET and AS_CONFED_SET in BGP' (draft-ietf-idr-deprecate-as-sets-06.txt) as a BCP This document is the product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-deprecate-as-sets/ Technical Summary This document provides advice to operators. It deprecates the use of the AS_SET and AS_CONFED_SET types of the AS_PATH in BGPv4.
