Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much for your comment. As Job said, the draft is targeting the 
Route Server infrastructure of Internet Exchange Points, but do you believe 
that this is something that needs further clarification in the draft?

If by build-in scoping you are referring to the definitions of Global/Local 
administrator, truth is that is not taken into consideration in such 
deployments.

Moreover, we know at least another IXP that dropped support for Extended 
Communities 2 years ago with big success, thus adopting such a practice from 
other fellow IXPs shouldn’t be of an issue as long as support for Large 
Communities is in place.


Kind Regards
Stavros

Re-reading the abstract, I can imagine the scope maybe appearing wider
than the authors perhaps intended.

The draft guidance is intended to be narrow: please avoid use of &
filter extended communities *at IXP Route Servers*. The target audience
of this draft BCP are IXP Route Server operators.

Does the above change your position in any way?

Kind regards,

Job
