[Idr] registry for BGP optional parameters

[Yakov Rekhter <yakov at juniper.net>]

Folks,

This is to start the IDR WG Last Call on the following proposal
by John Scudder:

   The base BGP specification [RFC4271] specifies in Section 4.2 a
   mechanism to include optional parameters with the OPEN message.
   Optional parameters are identified by the Parameter Type, which is a
   one-octet unsigned binary integer.

   Two Parameter Type codes are currently defined:

   o  Parameter Type 1: Authentication (deprecated).

   o  Parameter Type 2: Capabilities ([RFC3392])

   This proposal is to request that IANA create and maintain a
   registry for OPEN message optional parameters called "BGP OPEN
   Optional Parameter Type".  Values are to be allocated according
   to the "IETF Consensus" policy as defined in [RFC5226].

The Last Call ends Jan 7, 2009.

Yakov.
