    abstract =  {This Internet Draft describes an enhanced way to exchange prefix information, so as to permit multiple copies of a prefix, with different paths, to be announced and withdrawn. This negotiated capability facilitates faster local (inter-AS) and global (intra-AS) convergence, reduces path-hunting, improves route- reflector behaviour, including eliminating persistent oscillations. Additional prefix instances have a new wire format for updates and withdrawals, to control path selection. Benefits are seen both when deployed intra-AS, and on inter-AS peering.
