Chapter 7. New Features in BGP
BGP is not a static protocol; new features are added almost yearly to the protocol to expand its capabilities in the face of a constantly changing world of internetworking. It may seem crazy to add new features to a protocol known for its overwhelming feature set, but each new feature is designed to meet a specific need or address a specific requirement in a large-scale environment. This chapter guides you through a number of these new capabilities and how they can be used in various network situations.

This chapter provides information on a number of new features proposed for the BGP protocol; they may not all come into common use over time, nor may they all be implemented by the router vendors. |
