BGP Advisory Message
2009
The BGP routing protocol is used with external as well as internal
neighbors to propagate route advertisements. In the case of external
BGP sessions, there is typically a demarcation of administrative
responsibility between the two entities. Provisioning, maintenance and
administrative actions are communicated via off-line methods such as
email or telephone calls. While these methods have been used for many
years, it can be troublesome for an operator to correlate a BGP-
related event in the network with a notice that was transmitted in
email. This document proposes a new BGP message type, the Advisory
message, which can be used to convey advisory information to a BGP
speaker's peer. A capability is used to ensure that the recipient
of the Advisory message is capable of supporting it.
