  1. VA-auto • Goal: make the VA configuration simpler • Don’t need to make configures on all VA routers. • Only APRs and partial ASBRs. • Don’t need to change the configurations on all VA routers when the VPs change. (e.g., VP add/del/split/merge). • VP-range vs VP-list • Don’t need to make much configuration on all VA routers. • Configure pop-prefix-list on partial ASBRs.

  2. How to know what to FIB-install? • Configure ASBRs which are connected to peer ASes or provider ASes with “VP-range” • VP-range: ranges of addresses covered by all configured VPs, eventually a single 0/0 entry. • Those ASBR tag routes within VP-range with “can suppress” tag • Non-transitive Extended Community Attribute. • Exception: VP routes are never tagged. • May also not tag other routes according to policy, for instance customer routes, high-volume routes.

  3. Selective FIB Installation • APRs must FIB-install sub-prefixes within their own corresponding VPs regardless of the “can-suppress” tag. • Non-APRs don’t need to FIB-install the sub-prefixes with “can-suppress” tag. • All routers need to FIB-install the prefixes without the “can-suppress” tag as normal. • Including VP routes, popular-prefix routes and those routes for prefixes which are not covered by the VPs.

  4. Next Step • Last call for an informational RFC?
