BGP speaker MAY reset the BGP session if a given route type in an NLRI is not supported instead of treat-as-withdraw. This document defines Optional Capabilities pertaining to the exchange of route types that are supported for a particular AFI and SAFI. This framework facilitates the maintenance of sessions without necessitating resets or the inadvertent dropping of updates.}, }
