A Simple BGP-based Mobile Routing System for the Aeronautical
Telecommunications Network
draft-ietf-rtgwg-atn-bgp-06
Abstract
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is investigating
mobile routing solutions for a worldwide Aeronautical
Telecommunications Network with Internet Protocol Services (ATN/IPS).
The ATN/IPS will eventually replace existing communication services
with an IPv6-based service supporting pervasive Air Traffic
Management (ATM) for Air Traffic Controllers (ATC), Airline
Operations Controllers (AOC), and all commercial aircraft worldwide.
This informational document describes a simple and extensible mobile
routing service based on industry-standard BGP to address the ATN/IPS
requirements.

1. Introduction
The worldwide Air Traffic Management (ATM) system today uses a
service known as Aeronautical Telecommunications Network based on
Open Systems Interconnection (ATN/OSI). The service is used to
augment controller to pilot voice communications with rudimentary
short text command and control messages. The service has seen
successful deployment in a limited set of worldwide ATM domains.
The International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] is now
undertaking the development of a next-generation replacement for ATN/
OSI known as Aeronautical Telecommunications Network with Internet
Protocol Services (ATN/IPS). ATN/IPS will eventually provide an
