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.
