   The Border Gateway Protocol, version 4, (BGP4) provides the means to
   advertise reachability for IP prefixes.  This reachability
   information is propagated in a peer-to-peer topology.  Sometimes
   routes are announced to peers for which the local peering policy does
   not permit.  And sometimes routes are propagated indiscriminantly,
   once they have been accepted.

   This document considers the situations that can lead to routes being
   leaked, and tries to find acceptable definitions for describing these
   scenarios.

   The purpose of these definitions is to facilitate analysis of what a
   route leak is, and what the scope of the problem space for route
   leaks is.

   This, in turn, is intended to inform a requirements document for
   detection of (and prevention of) route leaks.  And finally, the
   definitions and requirements are intended to allow proposed solutions
   which meet these criteria, and to facilitate evaluation of proposed
   solutions.

   The fundamental objective is to "solve the route leaks problem".
