Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4
RFC 4760, “Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4”, is a Draft Standard document published in January 2007 by T. Bates, R. Chandra, D. Katz, Y. Rekhter. It obsoletes RFC 2858. It has since been updated by RFC 7606. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines extensions to BGP-4 to enable it to carry routing information for multiple Network Layer protocols (e.g., IPv6, IPX, L3VPN, etc.). The extensions are backward compatible - a router that supports the extensions can interoperate with a router that doesn't support the extensions. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Draft Standard” means
A historical maturity level (retired in 2011) that sat between Proposed Standard and Internet Standard and required multiple interoperable implementations.
