Abstract
To solve the problem of BGP Identifier in an IPv6-only network without special configuration and planning considerations, this document extends BGP to allow a BGP Identifier to be a valid IPv6 global unicast address assigned to the BGP speaker. Protocol extension includes the definition of a BGP capability code, "IPv6 BGP Identifier capability", to be used by a BGP speaker to indicate its support for IPv6 address as a BGP Identifier. This document updates RFC 4271.
