Internet Exchange BGP Route Server
RFC 7947, “Internet Exchange BGP Route Server”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2016 by E. Jasinska, N. Hilliard, R. Raszuk, N. Bakker. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document outlines a specification for multilateral interconnections at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). Multilateral interconnection is a method of exchanging routing information among three or more External BGP (EBGP) speakers using a single intermediate broker system, referred to as a route server. Route servers are typically used on shared access media networks, such as IXPs, to facilitate simplified interconnection among multiple Internet routers.
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.
