Abstract
As the size of the routing table in the Internet grows, there is a need for routing protocols to reduce the control information and also improve time taken for route convergence. In this draft we propose a new capability in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to reduce the size of the UPDATE message when the same path attributes are used for consecutive UPDATE messages. This allows more number of routes to be sent in a single UPDATE message and also reduces extraction processing in the receiving router.
