RFC 2545: Use of BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions for IPv6 Inter-Domain Routing

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions (BGP-MP) defines the format of two BGP attributes (MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI) that can be used to announce and withdraw the announcement of reachability information. This document defines how compliant systems should make use of those attributes for the purpose of conveying IPv6 routing information. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
