A brief overview of developments happening in the IETF working groups related to BGP evolution. The view is current as of mid-2023, in the timeframe between IETF meetings 116 and 117, and looking back several years to cover the recently published documents. The overview is given from the perspective of development of the protocol mechanics and recommended operational considerations, and is not directly related to specific implementation aspects of specific platforms – for that you would need to consult your vendors’ documentation. It is not expected that all of the functionality described here will be universally productized, as well as there will be specific deviations and extensions to functionality implemented by different vendors as seen required by the market. This is not an end to end overview of BGP, instead it focuses on specific protocol changes and therefore it is assumed that a reader has a sufficient understanding of foundations of BGP and its supporting machinery. It is a high level overview and does not go deep into the specifics, pointers to documents are provided for further and more detailed view into the topics under the discussion. This part covers the core protocol part and mechanisms specific to IPv4 unicast and IPv6 unicast AFs.
Thank you for this summary.
