Shortest Path Routing Extensions for BGP Protocol
draft-ietf-lsvr-bgp-spf-02.txt
Abstract
Many Massively Scaled Data Centers (MSDCs) have converged on
simplified layer 3 routing. Furthermore, requirements for
operational simplicity have lead many of these MSDCs to converge on
BGP as their single routing protocol for both their fabric routing
and their Data Center Interconnect (DCI) routing. This document
describes a solution which leverages BGP Link-State distribution and
the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm similar to Internal Gateway
Protocols (IGPs) such as OSPF.
Status of This Memo
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the
provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute
