Hello, Nick Hilliard, Robert Raszuk and myself submitted a draft on Internet Exchange Route Servers. We are hoping to get a chance to discuss this at the next WG meeting in Maastricht. In the meantime, comments and discussions would be much appreciated.
Best regards Elisa URL: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-jasinska-ix-bgp-route-server-00 A new version of I-D, draft-jasinska-ix-bgp-route-server-00.txt has been successfully submitted by Elisa Jasinska and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-jasinska-ix-bgp-route-server Revision: 00 Title: Internet Exchange Route Server Creation_date: 2010-07-05 WG ID: Independent Submission Number_of_pages: 15 Abstract: The growing popularity of Internet exchange points (IXPs) brings a new set of requirements to interconnect participating networks. While bilateral exterior BGP sessions between exchange participants were previously the most common means of exchanging reachability information, the overhead associated with dense interconnection has caused substantial operational scaling problems for IXP participants. This document outlines a specification for multilateral interconnections at IXPs. Multilateral interconnection describes a method of exchanging routing information between three or more BGP speakers using a single intermediate broker system, referred to as a route server. Route servers are typically used on shared access media networks such as Internet Exchanges (IXPs), to facilitate simplified interconnection between multiple Internet routers on such a network.
