Dear WG, We have seen formation of BGP Autodiscovery WG followed by total silence. Well maybe group is live just not everyone got onto its private list :)
Regardless of this I refreshed and resubmitted two proposals in this very space. 1. BGP Auto Discovery https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-raszuk-idr-bgp-auto-discovery-06 and 2. BGP Automated Session Setup https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-raszuk-idr-bgp-auto-session-setup-01 *Ad 1:* First document is focused on WAN and IX scenario where establishing full mesh of IBGP or selected eBGP peering can automate the operational management tasks or if run in informational mode could validate NMS session setup correctness. Original proposal was presented many years ago in Vienna and at that point suggested extension to IGPs to flood discovery information for IBGP auto mesh. Later based on the input and discussions with Pedro the proposal got simplified to use classic Route Reflector as bootstrap node (info broker). Last input from Jon and Warren added the ability to also automate setup of eBGP sessions in selected scenarios. Since then the document was shelved for some time waiting for IDR WG turn to deal with discovery topic. So here we are. *Ad 2: * The second document first published in July 2018 provides a very trivial to implement mechanism (without even changing BGP state machine) to automatically establish common LAN or p2p interfaces BGP sessions. Typical use case would be Clos DC fabrics, customer PE-CE LANs, TORs to Compute Nodes etc ... Comments, questions, feedback on both proposals all very welcome. Kind regards, Robert.
