Bruce,

Note that BGP protocol DOES NOT require its neighbor to be *statically*
configured -- in fact in the proposal from Curtis and myself
(draft-rekhter-idr-over-atm-00.txt) a BGP speaker may discover
its neighbor address dynamically (see Section 5 of the I-D).

And I maintain that BGP meets this goal.

Yakov.
