This document outlines a recommendation to the Internet operational
community to avoid the use of BGP Extended Communities at Internet
Exchange Point (IXP) Route Servers. It includes guidance for both
the Internet Service Provider side peering with Route Servers and
IXPs operating Route Servers. This recommendation aims to help the
global Internet routing system's performance and help protect Route
Server participants against misconfigurations.
Stavros pointed out that this updates rfc7948 (ixp route server
operations), so there's now an update in the XML source to reflect this.
Otherwise this is a long overdue document. Extended communities are no
longer relevant to IXP operations, and they need to disappear
post-haste. Speaking of which, is there any data on extcomm usage at IXPs?
