Title: Graceful Shutdown of BGP Sessions

To ease the maintenance of BGP-4 sessions and limit the amount of traffic
that is lost during planned maintenance on routers, a specific mechanism is
proposed in order to gracefully shutdown a router or a session. It's
proposed that a router first withdraw its route to its peer to initiate
their convergence. After a timer the router can proceed with the closing of
the BGP sessions and consequently remove its peers'routes from it's RIB
(Routing Information Base).
