This document proposes a new Address Family/Subsequent Address Family along with new optional transitive attribute to be used for distribution of opaque data. This functionality is intended to be used by applications other than BGP for exchange of their own data on top of BGP mesh. The structure of such data MAY to be interpreted by the regular BGP speakers, rather the goal is to use BGP purely as a convenient and scalable communication system.}, }
