It has commonly been assumed that the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a
tool for distributing reachability information in a manner that creates
forwarding paths in a deterministic manner. In this memo we will describe a
class of BGP configurations for which there is more than one potential
outcome, and where forwarding states other than the intended state are
equally stable, and that the stable state where BGP converges may be
selected by BGP in a non- deterministic manner. These stable, but
unintended, BGP states are termed here "BGP Wedgies".
