This document describes a modification to the validation procedure
defined in RFC 5575 for the dissemination of BGP flow specifications.
RFC 5575 requires that the originator of the flow specification
matches the originator of the best-match unicast route for the
destination prefix embedded in the flow specification. This allows
only BGP speakers within the data forwarding path (such as autonomous
system border routers) to originate BGP flow specifications. Though
it is possible to disseminate such flow specifications directly from
border routers, it may be operationally cumbersome in an autonomous
system with a large number of border routers having complex BGP
policies. The modification proposed herein enables flow
specifications to be originated from a centralized BGP route
controller.
