Solaris 10 supports several new protocols including Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4).

BGP was developed in the mid 1990s to replace EGP. BGP replaces the distance-vector algorithm of EGP with a path-vector algorithm. The path vector that is implemented by BGP causes the route table information to include a complete path (all autonomous system numbers) from the source to the destination. This eliminates the possibility of looping problems that might arise from complex network topologies, such as the Internet. A loop is detected by BGP when the path it receives has an autonomous system listed twice. If this occurs, BGP generates an error condition.

NIST announces the release of draft SP 800-54, Border Gateway Protocol Security. This document introduces the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), explains its importance to the Internet, and provides a set of best practices that can help in protecting BGP. Best practices described here are intended to be implementable on nearly all currently available BGP routers without requiring installation of new protocols. To improve the security of BGP routers, a series of recommendations are made. NIST requests public comments on SP 800-54 by November 30, 2006. Please submit comments to sp800-54comments@nist.gov with "Comments SP800-54" in the subject line
