How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T187731 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: BGP-4+
Context triple: [Internet Protocol version 6, supportsRoutingProtocol, BGP-4+]

A. OSPFv3
OSPFv3 is the version of the Open Shortest Path First routing protocol designed to operate over IPv6 networks, providing link-state routing and support for IPv6 addressing and features.
B. RFC 8200
RFC 8200 is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard that specifies the core protocol architecture and operation of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
C. Internet Protocol version 6
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the modern Internet addressing and routing protocol designed to replace IPv4 by providing a vastly larger address space and improved network efficiency and security features.
D. NAT64
NAT64 is a network address translation mechanism that enables IPv6-only clients to communicate with IPv4 servers by translating between the two protocol address spaces and packet formats.
E. Teredo
Teredo is a tunneling protocol that enables IPv6 connectivity for devices on IPv4 networks, particularly those behind NAT.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
