Abstract

To deal with situations where the current requirements for the BGP Identifier are not met, this document relaxes the definition of the BGP Identifier to be a 4-octet unsigned, non-zero integer, and relaxes the 'uniqueness' requirement so that only AS-wide uniqueness of the BGP Identifiers is required. These revisions to the base BGP specification does not introduce any backward compatibility issue.
