The Border Gateway Protocol, Version 4 (BGP-4) (RFC 4271) uses TCP (RFC 9293) as its transport layer protocol. There are proposals to run BGP over TLS-based transport protocols, including QUIC. This document discusses authentication considerations for running BGP over TLS protocols and defines a PKI framework to provide for authenticating BGP peering sessions.
