1.  Introduction

   The Outbound Route Filtering Capability defined in [RFC5291] provides
   a mechanism for a BGP speaker to send to its BGP peer a set of
   Outbound Route Filters (ORFs) that can be used by its peer to filter
   its outbound routing updates to the speaker.

   This document defines a new Outbound Router Filter (ORF) type for
   BGP, referred to as "Route Target Outbound Route Filter", that can be
   used to perform route target based route filtering.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  Route Target ORF Entry Encoding

   The value of the ORF-Type for the Route Target ORF is TBD.

Xu, et al.               Expires 27 October 2024                [Page 2]
Internet-Draft              Route Target ORF                  April 2024

   The Route Target ORF entry is encoded as follows: the "Action",
   "Match" and "Reserved" fields are encoded in the common part
   [RFC5291], while the "Route Target" field of 8 octets is encoded in
   the "type specific part" [RFC5291] . When the Action component of an
   ORF entry specifies REMOVE-ALL, the entry consists of only the common
   part.

   The Route Target field is filled with a route target value used for
   searching matching routes.  A route target value of zeroļ¼Œreferred to
   as the default route target, means any route target value would be
   considered as matched.

3.  Route Target ORF Matching

   In addition to the general procedures defined in [RFC5291], the
   following procedures are specified as follows:

   When performing route matching search on VPN routes, those VPN routes
   are associated with the Route Target as specified in the received
   Route Target ORF entries would be considered as matched routes . If
   the Route Target as specified in the received Route Target ORF
   entries is filled with all zeros, all VPN routes would be considered
   as matched routes.

4.  IANA Considerations

   The value of the ORF-Type for the Route Target ORF is to be allocated
   by IANA.

5.  Security Considerations

   This extension to BGP does not change the underlying security issues
   in [RFC4271]
