Document Action: NOPEER community for BGP route scope control to Informational

[The IESG]

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'NOPEER community for BGP 
route scope control' <draft-ietf-ptomaine-nopeer-02.txt> as an 
Informational RFC.  This document is the product of the Prefix Taxonomy 
Ongoing Measurement & Inter Network Experiment Working Group.  The IESG 
contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen.
 
   Technical Summary
       
       This document proposes the use of a BGP community to advise 
 BGP peers and others on the scope of propagation the originating 
 AS intended for a prefix. This proposed well-known advisory
 transitive community is intended to allow an origin AS to specify
 the extent to which it suggests that a specific prefix should be
 externally propagated. In particular this community, termed here
 as NOPEER, allows an origin AS to suggest that a route with this
 attribute need not be advertised across bilateral peer
 connections.
       
   Working Group Summary
       
       There were no technical issues raised in working group 
 discussion or working group last call.
