Hello GROW, I’m Jenny Ramseyer, from Meta. I have just submitted an Internet Draft, which I would like to share for your review. I believe it falls under the GROW working group’s charter.
Here is the draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ramseyer-grow-peering-api/ In this draft, I outline a proposed standard for programmatically configuring BGP peering connections through a machine-to-machine API. With this work, I and my collaborators hope to standardize and simplify peering automation, and encourage fast, reliable, and cost-effective interconnection for networks. This work started as an extension of an earlier NANOG85 presentation: https://youtu.be/Cko5-lWyN60?si=4w_ZicpGIgGoyaTR. Out of that presentation, we established a discussion group, and presented an early proposal at NANOG88: https://youtu.be/kMxsoplROYs?si=nKvkkL9aXa8pjAGw This draft is built from the discussions through that group, and is joint work with my collaborators at AWS, Cloudflare, Google, and FullCtl. As we are proposing a standard way to automate BGP interconnections with the goal of simplifying and encouraging peering, I am hoping that it would fall under your charter’s second goal: “Document and suggest operational solutions to problematic aspects of the currently deployed routing system.” I would like to request a talking slot at the upcoming GROW meeting at IETF 119 to discuss the draft. Please let me know if you think this draft might meet your charter, and if it would be possible to discuss at the next GROW meeting. Thank you, Jenny Ramseyer
