Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8654, changed title to 'Extended Message Support for BGP', changed abstract to 'The BGP specification (RFC 4271) mandates a maximum BGP message size of 4,096 octets.  As BGP is extended to support new Address Family Identifiers (AFIs), Subsequent AFIs (SAFIs), and other features, there is a need to extend the maximum message size beyond 4,096 octets.  This document updates the BGP specification by extending the maximum message size from 4,096 octets to 65,535 octets for all messages except for OPEN and KEEPALIVE messages.', changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2019-10-24, changed IESG state to RFC Published, created updates relation between draft-ietf-idr-bgp-extended-messages and RFC 4271)
