Technical Summary
This document presents two sets of paths for an address prefix
that can be advertised by a BGP route reflector or confederation ASBR
to eliminate the MED-induced route oscillations in a network. The
first set involves all the available paths, and would achieve the
same routing consistency as the full IBGP mesh. The second set,
which is a subset of the first one, involves the neighbor-AS based
Group Best Paths, and would be sufficient to eliminate the MED-
induced route oscillations (subject to certain commonly adopted
topological constrains).
Working Group Summary
Strong consensus. Good discussion on the list.

Implemented in Juniper, Cisco
RTG-DIR review: Tony Przygienda
This was discussed for over 5 years, and deployed.
We are just slow in getting it standardized.
