Abstract
Please Note: This document was written to summarize and facilitate discussion regarding (1) the benefits of changing the way BGP selects routes to selecting the most preferred route allowed by export policies, or more generally, to selecting BGP routes on a per-neighbor basis, (2) the safety condition that guarantees global routing stability under the Neighbor-Specific BGP model, and (3) ways of deploying this model in practice. A paper presenting the formal model and proof of the stability conditions was published at SIGMETRICS 2009 and is available online.
