Abstract:
As Enterprises and Service Providers upgrade their brown field or
green field MPLS/SR core to an IPv6 transport, Multiprotocol BGP (MP-
BGP)now plays an important role in the transition of their Provider
(P) core network as well as Provider Edge (PE) Inter-AS peering
network from IPv4 to IPv6. Operators must have flexiblity to
continue to support IPv4 customers when both the Core and Edge
networks migrate to IPv6. As well as must be able to support IPv6
networks in cases where operators decide to remain on an IPv4 network
or during transition.
This document details the External BGP (eBGP) PE-PE Inter-AS and PE-
CE Edge peering IPv4-Only PE design where both IPv4 and IPv6 all
supported SAFI NLRI can be advertised over a single IPv4 peer and
IPv6-Only PE Design where all supported SAFI NLRI can be advertised
over a single IPv6 peer.
This document also defines a new IPv4 BGP next hop encoding standard
that uses an IPv4 address as the next hop and not an IPv4 mapped IPv6
address.
This document also provides vendor specific test cases for the
IPv4-Only peering design and IPv6-Only PE design as well as test
results for the five major vendors stakeholders in the routing and
switching indusrty, Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Nokia and Huawei. With
the test results provided for the IPv6-Only Edge peering design, the
goal is that all other vendors around the world that have not been
tested will begin to adopt and implement the design.
