The IESG has received a request from the Inter-Domain Routing WG (idr) to consider the following document: - 'Extended Optional Parameters Length for BGP OPEN Message' <draft-ietf-idr-ext-opt-param-11.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2021-04-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Optional Parameters in the BGP OPEN message as defined in the base BGP specification are limited to 255 octets due to a one-octet length field. BGP Capabilities are carried in this field and may foreseeably exceed 255 octets in the future, leading to concern about this limitation. This document updates RFC 4271 by extending, in a backward-compatible manner, the length of the Optional Parameters in the BGP OPEN. The Parameter Length field of individual Optional Parameters is also extended. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-ext-opt-param/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
