Advertising IPv4 Network Layer Reachability Information with an IPv6 Next Hop
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) specifies that the set of network-layer protocols to which the address carried in the Next Hop field may belong is determined by the Address Family Identifier (AFI) and the Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI). The current AFI/SAFI definitions for the IPv4 address family only have provisions for advertising a Next Hop address that belongs to the IPv4 protocol when advertising IPv4 Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) or VPN-IPv4 NLRI. This document specifies the extensions necessary to allow advertising IPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI with a Next Hop address that belongs to the IPv6 protocol. This comprises an extension of the AFI/SAFI definitions to allow the address of the Next Hop for IPv4 NLRI or VPN-IPv4 NLRI to also belong to the IPv6 protocol, the encoding of the Next Hop in order to determine which of the protocols the address actually belongs to, and a new BGP Capability allowing MP-BGP Peers to dynamically discover whether they can exchange IPv4 NLRI and VPN-IPv4 NLRI with an IPv6 Next Hop.

Connecting IPv6 Islands over IPv4 MPLS Using IPv6 Provider Edge Routers (6PE)
This document explains how to interconnect IPv6 islands over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-enabled IPv4 cloud. This approach relies on IPv6 Provider Edge routers (6PE), which are Dual Stack in order to connect to IPv6 islands and to the MPLS core, which is only required to run IPv4 MPLS. The 6PE routers exchange the IPv6 reachability information transparently over the core using the Mu...

This paper discusses routing aspects associated with the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. The approach outlined here is designed to be compatible with the Simple Internet Transition (SIT) mechanism. The proposals contained in this document are the opinions of the authors, and have not yet been discussed in detail by the working group. This document is intended as input to the IPNG, Tacit, and Ngtr...
متن کاملINCENTIVES TO INVEST IN NEXT GENERATION NETWORKS - Organizational Codes, Investment Bias and Technology Change
2 2 1. INTRODUCTION Lately, investments in telecommunications networks have been hotly debated, and examples of over-investment (3G, dot.com) have been widely publicized. However, there are also cases of under-investment in telecommunications, and this paper will in particular address drivers to under-investment by elaborating upon the relations between investment trade-offs, organizational cod...
متن کاملDissemination of Flow Specification Rules
This document updates RFC5575 which defines a Border Gateway Protocol Network Layer Reachability Information (BGP NLRI) encoding format that can be used to distribute traffic flow specifications. This allows the routing system to propagate information regarding more specific components of the traffic aggregate defined by an IP destination prefix (IPv4, IPv6), MPLS addresses, L2VPN addresses, an...
متن کاملA Bandwidth Determination Method for IPv6-based Networks
Accurate measurement of bottleneck and available bandwidths in network paths is a problem that has intrigued researchers for years. Numerous tools and techniques have been developed to determine bottleneck and available bandwidths but none of these methods provide a simple solution that is accurate, efficient, and flexible. Such a solution is simply not practical for IPv4 networks. Fortunately,...
