Abstract:
All BGP routers in the Default Free Zone (DFZ) are required to carry
all the routes in the Default Free Routing Table (DFRT). A technique
is described that allows some BGP routers not to install all of those
routes into the Forwarding Information Base (FIB).
Some routers in an Autonomous System (AS) announce an aggregate (the
VA prefix) in addition to the routes they already announce. This
enables other routers not to install the routes covered by the VA
prefix into the FIB as long as those routes have the same next-hop as
the VA prefix.
The VA prefixes that are announced within an AS are not announced to
any other AS. Described functionality is of very low operational
complexity by proposing a confined BGP speaker solution without any
dependency on network wide configuration or requirement for any form
of intra-domain tunneling.
