Minutes of the Border Gateway Protocol Working Group (BGP)

The BGP Working Group met twice on Monday, November 16, 1992, and
discussed the following issues:

BGP-4 Editorial Change

The Working Group approved minor editorial change to the BGP-4 protocol
specifications suggested by Yakov Rekhter.  The revised text of the
Internet-Draft will be posted shortly.

BGP MIB

It was pointed out that there are differences between MIB for BGP-3 and
MIB for BGP-4.  The Working Group decided to get a new OID for the
bgpPathAttrEntry object.  It is expected that BGP-3 MIB will eventually
be deprecated.

BGP-4 Implementation

Dennis Ferguson (ANS) discussed his implementation of BGP-4 in GATED. It
is expected that ANSNet will be running BGP-4 1Q93.  A copy of the
presentation should be available upon request from Dennis.

BGP and IPAE/SIP

The Working Group met jointly with several key members of the IPAE/SIP
Working Group to discuss a possibility of supporting IPAE/SIP
inter-domain routing with BGP. The Group suggested that inter-domain
routing with IPAE/SIP should not be supported by BGP, but rather should
be accommodated by IDRP. The rationale for this recommendation was based
on the urgency of deploying BGP-4, unwillingness to change BGP-4
protocol specifications, and the overall consensus that IDRP is more
suitable (than BGP) as an inter-domain routing protocol for IPAE/SIP.
