OK, we'll copy some text from the introduction section to the abstract section to provide a better pitch why one would want to read this document. > ============ > > 5.

It is my understanding that RFC 8092 "BGP Large Communities" are just like RFC 1997 "BGP Communities", but ... larger (for lack of better words). Referencing RFC 7454 seems plenteous. So, what if there are not any additional considerations, If there were, they would've been (or are) covered in RFC 8092's security section, right? This is an Internet-Draft targetted for Informational status, I'm not sure what you expect here. > SB> Is there is text somewhere that discusses the integrity and > SB> synchronization of the parameters and any consequences that arise? the what now?
