A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Global Routing Operations Working Group of the IETF.

Title           : Operational Requirements for Enhanced Error Handling Behaviour in BGP-4
Author(s)       : Rob Shakir
Filename        : draft-ietf-grow-ops-reqs-for-bgp-error-handling-03.txt
Pages           : 27

  BGP-4 is utilised as a key intra- and inter-Autonomous System routing
  protocol in modern IP networks.  The failure modes as defined by the
  original protocol standards are based on a number of assumptions
  around the impact of session failure.  Numerous incidents both in the
  global Internet routing table and within Service Provider networks
  have been caused by strict handling of a single invalid UPDATE
  message causing large-scale failures in one or more Autonomous
  Systems.

  This memo describes the current use of BGP-4 within Service Provider
  networks, and outlines a set of requirements for further work to
  enhance the mechanisms available to a BGP-4 implementation when
  erroneous data is detected.  Whilst this document does not provide
  specification of any standard, it is intended as an overview of a set
  of enhancements to BGP-4 to improve the protocol's robustness to suit
  its current deployment.
