Shouldn't this be something that's proposed and implemented by the IETF, since BGP is an IETF standard? http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/idr/charter/ http://data

- wmf 11y agoInvention and prototyping come before IETF submission. But some people think the IETF process is kind of broken, especially when it comes to open source.
- 112233 11y agoI don't know what kind of broken you are reffering to, but it's painful to see what "they" (the idr wg) are doing with BGP. Most RFC contain something like: "since BGP is such a widely used and stable protocol, let's add more stuff to it!" And the go on changing semantic of existing encodings in a way that forces unimaginably hairy hack unto any reasonable existing implementation (see flowspec, see multiprotocol, see add-path, ...) I'd rather have tens of tiny protocols running on network, that one such BGP bug-carrier.
