[Route Leak Prevention using Roles in Update and Open messages]

I would like to voice my support for this draft standard. In my opinion, the measures outlined in the proposal would serve to reduce the propagation of routing leaks - even with incomplete deployment. Specifically, I think the establishment of BGP Roles would help network operators to avoid exporting routes in a manner that results in the routing leaks we see on nearly any given day.

Respectfully,
