RFC 9003, “Extended BGP Administrative Shutdown Communication”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by J. Snijders, J. Heitz, J. Scudder, A. Azimov. It updates RFC 4486. It obsoletes RFC 8203. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document enhances the BGP Cease NOTIFICATION message "Administrative Shutdown" and "Administrative Reset" subcodes for operators to transmit a short free-form message to describe why a BGP session was shut down or reset. This document updates RFC 4486 and obsoletes RFC 8203 by defining an Extended BGP Administrative Shutdown Communication of up to 255 octets to improve communication using multibyte character sets.
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.
