Network Working Group X. Xu Internet-Draft Alibaba Inc Intended status: Standards Track K. Talaulikar Expires: April 25, 2019 Cisco Systems K. Bi Huawei J. Tantsura N. Triantafillis Apstra October 22, 2018 BGP Neighbor Discovery draft-xu-idr-neighbor-autodiscovery-10 Abstract BGP is being used as the underlay routing protocol in some large- scaled data centers (DCs). Most popular design followed is to do hop-by-hop external BGP (EBGP) session configurations between neighboring routers on a per link basis. The provisioning of BGP neighbors in routers across such a DC brings its own operational complexity. This document introduces a BGP neighbor discovery mechanism that greatly simplifies BGP operations in such DC and other networks by automatic setup of BGP sessions between neighbor routers using this mechanism. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
