The RFC for BGP Large Communities has just been published; https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8092 There is also a draft discussing their use; https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-large-communities-usage-02 There are more details on the BGP Large Communities work and an implementation tracker at; http://largebgpcommunities.net/ BIRD 1.6.3 support it, so I'd like to suggest we think about a third route server for testing with BGP Large Communities. If that goes well then phase it in with the production servers maybe toward the end of 2017 when more of the implementations for big iron routers make it in to production code, What do others think? -- =============================================== David Farmer Email:farmer@umn.edu Networking & Telecommunication Services Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815 <(612)%20626-0815> Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952 <(612)%20812-9952> ===============================================
