All,
I was reading the old RIPE(22nd meeting minutes) and was wondering,
what
ever became of the BGP
proposal from Tony Bates and Enke Chen for the use of the Destination
Preference Attribute (DPA) for multi-homed sites.
Based on our preivous thread with the known and unknown implications of
"inconsistant routes", I would think
this could've have been a step in the right direction.
I did find a link where Enke Chen notes the use of the "LOCLA_PREF" attribute
by many providers, since the
lack of the DPA and rfc1998 also notes how the use of "communities" aid in
this process.
Anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on this as it applies to the use of
DPA
and where things stand on
global/ISP-based implementation of this attribute?
thanks,
Nigel
