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 BGP
community information, including BGP standard communities [RFC1997],
BGP extended communities [RFC4360], and BGP large communities
[RFC8092]. Network traffic information can then be accumulated and
analyzed 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 does not 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 network traffic at the BGP community granularity
without needing to run the heavy BGP itself. When needed, the IPFIX
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.
