Graceful BGP Session Shutdown
Pierre Francois , Bruno Decraene , Cristel Pelsser , Keyur Patel and Clarence Filsfils
Abstract
This document standardizes a new well-known BGP community, GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN, to signal the graceful shutdown of paths. This document also describes operational procedures that use this well-known community to reduce the amount of traffic lost when BGP peering sessions are about to be shut down deliberately, e.g., for planned maintenance.
