Mitigating the Negative Impact of Maintenance through BGP Session Culling
RFC 8327, “Mitigating the Negative Impact of Maintenance through BGP Session Culling”, is a Best Current Practice document published in March 2018 by W. Hargrave, M. Griswold, J. Snijders, N. Hilliard. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document outlines an approach to mitigate the negative impact on networks resulting from maintenance activities. It includes guidance for both IP networks and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). The approach is to ensure BGP-4 sessions that will be affected by maintenance are forcefully torn down before the actual maintenance activities commence.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
