RFC 6472: BCP 172: Recommendation for Not Using AS_SET and AS_CONFED_SET in BGP

Best Current Practice

Routing Area

Abstract

This document recommends against the use of the AS_SET and AS_CONFED_SET types of the AS_PATH in BGPv4. This is done to simplify the design and implementation of BGP and to make the semantics of the originator of a route more clear. This will also simplify the design, implementation, and deployment of ongoing work in the Secure Inter-Domain Routing Working Group. This memo documents an Internet Best Current Practice.
