Sriram Status: Best Current Practice Stream: IETF Date: December 2011 Mailbox: warren@kumari.net, ksriram@nist.gov Pages: 5 Characters: 10673 See Also: BCP0172 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-idr-deprecate-as-sets-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6472.txt This document recommends against the use of the AS_SET and AS_CONFED_SET types of the AS_PATH in BGPv4.

This will also simplify the design, implementation, and deployment of ongoing work in the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.
