Hello all,

   I wonder if you can clarify this.

   Many people and documentation call BGP as the two Napkin protocol, 
other call the three Napkin protocol. Why is that?

   I guess the right answer is the three Napkin protocol as Mr Yakov 
Rekhter mentions in his Google TechTalk 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAOVNYSnL7k) (at 5:37)

   However, for example in this link says "the two napkins protocols":

Thanks,


Alejandro,
