Title : BGP Next-Hop Capabilities
Author : Bruno Decraene
Filename : draft-decraene-idr-next-hop-capability-00.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2015-03-09
Abstract:
RFC 5492 defines capabilities advertisement for the BGP peer. In
addition, it's useful to know the capabilities of the BGP Next-Hop,
in particular for forwarding plane features. RFC 5492 is not
applicable because the BGP peer may be different from the BGP Next-
Hop, in particular when BGP Route Reflection is used. This document
defines a mechanism to advertise such BGP Next Hop Capabilities.
This document defines a new BGP non-transitive attribute to carry
Next-Hop Capabilities. This attribute is deleted when the BGP Next
Hop is changed.
This document also defines a Next-Hop capability to advertise the
ability to handle the Entropy Label defined in RFC 6790.
