This document defines Multi-Protocol BGP (MP-BGP) procedures that allow
BGP speakers to exchange Route Target reachability information.  This
information can be used to build a route distribution graph in order to
limit the propagation of Virtual Private Network (VPN) Network Layer
Reachability Information (NLRI) between different autonomous systems or
distinct clusters of the same autonomous system.  This document updates
RFC 4364.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

This document is a product of the Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and 
suggestions for improvements.Please refer to the current edition of the 
Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization
