	 <t>   BGP is being used as the underlay routing protocol in some large-
   scaled data centers (DCs).  Most popular design followed is to do
   hop-by-hop external BGP (EBGP) session configurations between
   neighboring routers on a per link basis.  The provisioning of BGP
   neighbors in routers across such a DC brings its own operational
   complexity.

   This document introduces a BGP neighbor discovery mechanism that
   greatly simplifies BGP operations in such DC and other networks by
   automatic setup of BGP sessions between neighbor routers using this
   mechanism.
