Use of BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions for IPv6 Inter-Domain Routing
RFC 2545, “Use of BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions for IPv6 Inter-Domain Routing”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 1999 by P. Marques, F. Dupont. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions (BGP-MP) defines the format of two BGP attributes (MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI) that can be used to announce and withdraw the announcement of reachability information. This document defines how compliant systems should make use of those attributes for the purpose of conveying IPv6 routing information. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
