[GTER] Fwd: RFC 8092 on BGP Large Communities Attribute

[Rubens Kuhl]

Bom, acabaram as desculpas para o RouterOS não implementar "Large
Communities", agora que é uma RFC. Enquanto isso, o GoBGP já suporta há...
meses ?

To: nanog at nanog.org


Hey NANOG,

As a followup to our NANOG 68 presentation in Dallas on BGP Large Communites
(https://www.nanog.org/meetings/abstract?id=2990), RFC 8092 as just
published
on Thursday.  BGP Large Communities solve a big issue for network operators,
by providing a simple way to signal meta-information between networks
using 16-bit or 32-bit ASNs.

Publication as an RFC was accomplished in a remarkably short time, due to
the
close cooperation and strong consensus between the IETF IDR Working Group
and network operators.  The idea progressed rapidly from its inception in
March 2016, to the first Internet-Draft in September 2016, to its final
IESG approval stages in December 2016, and finally to publication as an
RFC in barely seven months.

In addition the the final standard, a number of implementations and tools
were developed along the way, so that network operators can test and deploy
the new technology now.  The latest list of software that support BGP
Large Communities is here: http://largebgpcommunities.net/implementations/ .

While the final milestone to RFC publication has been reached, this is by no
means the end of the story!  Work on the "Usage of BGP Large Communities"
I-D (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-large-communities-usage)
continues, to provide examples and inspiration for network operators on
how to use BGP Large Communities.

It’s time to celebrate, as 32-bit ASNs are first class citizens now too!

Kind regards,
Greg

This document describes the BGP Large Communities attribute, an
extension to BGP-4.  This attribute provides a mechanism to signal
opaque information within separate namespaces to aid in routing
management.  The attribute is suitable for use with all Autonomous
System Numbers (ASNs) including four-octet ASNs.

This document is a product of the Inter-Domain Routing Working Group of the
IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.
