The BGP Entropy Label Capability attribute is defined in RFC 6790.
Regrettably, it has a bug: although RFC 6790 mandates that routers
incapable of processing Entropy Labels must remove the attribute,
fulfillment of this requirement cannot be guaranteed in practice.
This specification deprecates the attribute. A forthcoming document
will propose a replacement.
This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
