Under certain conditions, it is desirable for a Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) route reflector to be able to modify the Route Target
(RT) list of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) route that the route
reflector distributes, enabling the route reflector to control how a
route originated within one VPN Routing and Forwarding table (VRF) is
imported into other VRFs. This technique works effectively as long
as the VRF that exports the route is not on the same Provider Edge
(PE) router as the VRF(s) that imports the route. However, due to
the constraints of BGP, it does not work if the two are on the same
PE. This document describes a modification to BGP allowing this
technique to work when the VRFs are on the same PE and to be used in
a standard manner throughout an autonomous system.
This document is a product of the BGP Enabled Services 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
