| | RFC 1771 (rfc1771) - A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) |
 | | BGP Identifier: This 4-octet unsigned integer indicates the BGP Identifier of the sender. |
 | | Note that quite often BGP, as specified in RFC 1105, is referred to as BGP-1, BGP, as specified in RFC 1163, is referred to as BGP-2, BGP, as specified in RFC1267 is referred to as BGP-3, and BGP, as specified in this document is referred to as BGP-4. |
 | | When peering with a BGP implementation that does not compress multiple address prefixes into one message, it may be necessary to take steps to reduce the overhead from the flood of data received when a peer is acquired or a significant network topology change occurs. |
