<abstract>
<t>
   Currently BGP-4  is capable of carrying routing information
   only for IPv4 . This document defines extensions to BGP-4 to
   enable it to carry routing information for multiple Network Layer
   protocols (e.g., IPv6, IPX, etc...). The extensions are backward
   compatible - a router that supports the extensions can interoperate
   with a router that doesn&apos;t support the extensions.
