Revised version of bgp-redistribution draft

[Olivier Bonaventure]

Dear All,

Based on the comments received on the list, we have prepared a new version
of the bgp-redistribution draft. This document was submitted to IETF on
Saturday and should be announced officially within a few days. In the mean
time, you can download it from :

        Title           : Controlling the redistribution of BGP routes
        Author(s)       : O. Bonaventure et al.
        Filename        : draft-ietf-ptomaine-bgp-redistribution-01.txt
        Pages           : 16
        Date            : 17-Aug-02


   This document proposes the redistribution extended community.  This
   new extended community allows a router to influence how a specific
   route should be redistributed towards a specified set of eBGP
   speakers. Several types of redistribution communities are proposed.
   The first type may be used to indicate that a specific route should
   not be announced over a specified set of eBGP sessions. The second
   type may be used to indicate that the attached route should only be
   announced with the NO_EXPORT community over the specified set of eBGP
   sessions and the third type may be used to indicate that the attached
   route should be prepended n times when announced over a specified set
   of eBGP sessions.


As for the previous version, comments are welcome. 

Best regards,


Olivier Bonaventure
