A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Prefix Limit Based Outbound Route Filter for BGP-4
Author(s) : K. Patel, et al.
Filename : draft-keyur-prefixlimit-orf-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2004-4-28
The BGP specification allows for "the ability to impose an (locally
configured) upper bound on the number of address prefixes the speaker
is willing to accept from a neighbor". In this specification, we
define a new Outbound Route Filter type for BGP, termed "Prefix Limit
Outbound Route Filter", which the speaker can use to communicate that
upper bound to its peer. The peer is then required to abide by the
limit. This is expected to have benefits in terms of resource
consumption and more importantly, transparency of operation.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
