I would support that. http://tools.ietf.org/search/draft-raszuk-wide-bgp-communities-03 How would you modify it? To me, that draft looks hugely complicated, like everything you could possibly think of was thrown in. I would support a simplified version (and be able to code it without bugs) if it contained just useful stuff. -- Jakob Heitz. ________________________________________ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2014 18:37:42 +0000 From: Nick Hilliard <nick () foobar org> To: Sebastian Spies <s+Mailinglisten.nanog () sloc de>, nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Route Server Filters at IXPs and 4-byte ASNs Message-ID: <52E40476.20200 () foobar org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 25/01/2014 15:48, Sebastian Spies wrote:
To make things worse: even if the IXPs ASN is 2-byte, I would assume, that RS implementors chose to interpret extended community strings as always being in the format 4-byte:2-byte (see RFC5668).
some ixp operators (e.g. me) are rather enthusiastic about the idea of a modified form of draft-raszuk-wide-bgp-communities getting more traction. This would solve this particular problem and many others. Nick
