A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : IPv6 Address Specific BGP Extended Communities Attribute
Author(s) : Y. Rekhter
Filename : draft-rekhter-v6-ext-communities-01.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2007-4-23
Current specifications of BGP Extended Communities [BGP-EXTCOMM]
support IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, but do not support
IPv6 Address Specific Extended Community. The lack of IPv6 Address
Specific Extended Community may be a problem when an application uses
IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, and one wants to use this
application in a pure IPv6 environment. This document defines a new
BGP attribute, IPv6 Address Specific Extended Community that
addresses this problem. The IPv6 Address Specific Extended Community
is similar to the IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, except
that it carries an IPv6 address rather than an IPv4 address.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
