This is -01 version with revisions. Andrei Robachevsky and Brian Dickson had offered comments and suggestions in person to me in Honolulu. This revised version includes changes based on their suggestions. In particular, route leaks classification has been expanded to include Types 6 and 7. Other changes include improvement of clarity in some places, and we've also added several additional relevant references.
Further comments/suggestions welcome.

This draft is a work item of the Global Routing Operations Working Group of the IETF. Title : Problem Definition and Classification of BGP Route Leaks Authors : Kotikalapudi Sriram Doug Montgomery Danny McPherson Eric Osterweil Filename : draft-ietf-grow-route-leak-problem-definition-01.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2015-03-09 Abstract: A systemic vulnerability of the Border Gateway Protocol routing system, known as 'route leaks', has received significant attention in recent years. Frequent incidents that result in significant disruptions to Internet routing are labeled "route leaks", but to date we have lacked a common definition of the term. In this document, we provide a working definition of route leaks, keeping in mind the real occurrences that have received significant attention. Further, we attempt to enumerate (though not exhaustively) different types of route leaks based on observed events on the Internet. We aim to provide a taxonomy that covers several forms of route leaks that have been observed and are of concern to Internet user community as well as the network operator community.
