One minor note to the RPC: The foundational base document for BGP extended communities, RFC 4360, is undergoing a -bis in IDR. The link bandwidth draft will proceed prior to publication for RFC 4360-bis. As Reshma points out below, the terminology and practices come from RFC 4360.
RFC 4360-bis will be undergoing working group last call soon. Reviewing for consistencies in terminology and capitalization may be desirable.
