RFC 3392: Capabilities Advertisement with BGP-4

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 5492.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 5492 — Capabilities Advertisement with BGP-4

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

Currently BGP-4 requires that when a BGP speaker receives an OPEN message with one or more unrecognized Optional Parameters, the speaker must terminate BGP peering. This complicates introduction of new capabilities in BGP. This document defines new Optional Parameter, called Capabilities, that is expected to facilitate introduction of new capabilities in BGP by providing graceful capability advertisement without requiring that BGP peering be terminated. This document obsoletes RFC2842.
