BGP Support for Four-Octet Autonomous System Number Space
RFC 6793, “BGP Support for Four-Octet Autonomous System Number Space”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2012 by Q. Vohra, E. Chen. It updates RFC 4271. It obsoletes RFC 4893. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Autonomous System number is encoded as a two-octet entity in the base BGP specification. This document describes extensions to BGP to carry the Autonomous System numbers as four-octet entities. This document obsoletes RFC 4893 and updates RFC 4271. [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.
