RFC 2622: Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 4012, RFC 7909. Read both.

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

RPSL allows a network operator to be able to specify routing policies at various levels in the Internet hierarchy; for example at the Autonomous System (AS) level. At the same time, policies can be specified with sufficient detail in RPSL so that low level router configurations can be generated from them. RPSL is extensible; new routing protocols and new protocol features can be introduced at any time. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
