Title : Export BGP community information in IP Flow
Information Export (IPFIX)

Abstract:
By introducing new Information Elements (IEs), this draft extends the
existing BGP related IEs to enable IPFIX [RFC7011] to export the BGP
community information, including the information of BGP standard
community [RFC1997], BGP extended community [RFC4360], and BGP large
community [RFC8092]. Network traffic information can then be
accumulated and analysed at the BGP community granularity, which
represents the traffic of different kinds of customers, services, or
geographical regions according to the network operator's BGP
community planning. Network traffic information at the BGP community
granularity is useful for network traffic analysis and engineering.
To clarify, no new BGP community attribute is defined in this
document and this document has no purpose to replace BGP Monitoring
Protocol (BMP) defined in RFC7854. The IEs introduced in this
document are used by IPFIX together with other IEs to facilitate the
IPFIX collector analyzing the network traffic at the BGP community
granularity without running the heavy BGP protocol. When needed, the
mediator or collector can use the IEs introduced in this document to
report the BGP community related traffic flow information it gets
either from exporters or through local correlation to other IPFIX
devices.
