I'm weakly supportive of this overall proposal. One issue with going to well known communities is that the role of a given route may vary depending on provider. To that end, a well known community can't really help. Extended communities could work, but mechanisms for arbitrary extended communities aren't well implemented. What seems to be needed more than a standard as to what communities everyone should use is a method of exchanging the mappings for a given provider. Wide communities are intended to have some of this semantic, but the mechanism to exchange the mappings is undefined at this time. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
