Abstract:
Route tagging plays an important role in external BGP [RFC4271]
relations, in communicating various routing policies between peers.
It is also a very common best practice among operators to propagate
various additional information about routes intra-domain. The most
common tool used today to attach various information about routes is
through the use of BGP communities [RFC1997].
Such information is important to allow BGP speakers to perform some
mutually agreed actions without the need to maintain a separate
offline database for each tuple of prefix and associated set of
action entries.
This document defines a new encoding which will enhance and simplify
what can be accomplished today with the use of BGP communities. The
most important addition this specification makes over currently
defined BGP communities is the ability to specify, carry as well as
use for execution an operator's defined set of parameters. It also
provides an extensible platform for any new community encoding needs
in the future.
