RE: Route Server Filters at IXPs and 4-byte ASNs
I would support that. http://tools.ietf.org/search/draft-raszuk-wide-bgp-communities-03 How would you modify it? To me, that draft looks hugely complicated, like everything you could possibly think of was thrown in. I would support a simplified version (and be able to code it without bugs) if it contained just useful stuff. -- Jakob Heitz. ________________________________________ Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2014 18:37:42 +0000 From: Nick Hilliard <nick@foobar.org> To: Sebastian Spies <s+Mailinglisten.nanog@sloc.de>, nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Route Server Filters at IXPs and 4-byte ASNs Message-ID: <52E40476.20200@foobar.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On 25/01/2014 15:48, Sebastian Spies wrote:
To make things worse: even if the IXPs ASN is 2-byte, I would assume, that RS implementors chose to interpret extended community strings as always being in the format 4-byte:2-byte (see RFC5668).
some ixp operators (e.g. me) are rather enthusiastic about the idea of a modified form of draft-raszuk-wide-bgp-communities getting more traction. This would solve this particular problem and many others. Nick

i get the impression that Robert realises that the current draft is unworkably complicated. Nick

The token to simplify is currently mine. The messy bit was an attempt to try to push policy algebra into the packet format. A hallway conversation with a certain German gentleman helped disabuse me about the wisdom of doing that. Cleaning up the document will take probably another two rounds but a terse description of where it should be going is "template based structured communities". -- Jeff
