Abstract
RPSL allows a network operator to be able to specify routing policies
at various levels in the Internet hierarchy; for example at the
Autonomous System (AS) level. At the same time, policies can be
specified with sufficient detail in RPSL so that low level router
configurations can be generated from them. RPSL is extensible; new
routing protocols and new protocol features can be introduced at any
time.
