Dear GROW, The authors of draft-wilhelm-grow-anycast-community asked whether this working group could consider adoption of the internet-draft.
This message is a request to the group for feedback on whether this internet-draft should be adopted. Title: A well-known BGP community to denote prefixes used for Anycast Abstract: In theory routing decisions on the Internet and by extension within ISP networks should always use hot-potato routing to reach any given destination. In reality operators sometimes choose to not use the hot-potato paths to forward traffic due to a variety of reasons, mostly motivated by traffic engineering considerations. For prefixes carrying anycast traffic in virtually all situations it is advisable to stick to the hot-potato principle. As operators mostly don't know which prefixes are carrying unicast or anycast traffic, they can't differentiate between them in their routing policies. To allow operators to take well informed decisions on which prefixes are carrying anycast traffic this document proposes a well-known BGP community to denote this property. The Internet-Draft can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wilhelm-grow-anycast-community/ Please share with the mailing list if you are think this work should be adopted by GROW, willing to review and/or otherwise contribute to this draft! WG Adoption call ends November 22th, 2022. Kind regards, Job / Chris _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
