Hi everyone! I made a couple of patches to do some interesting stuff with communities. The first patch allows to pick a component from a standard or a large community:
(10, 20, 30) @ 2 --> 20 And the second patch allows to search for minimum or maximum element in a community list. This combined allows to do some cool stuff with communities like this: bgp_local_pref = filter(bgp_large_community, [(<as>, <localpref_val>, *)]).min @ 3 This will find us the minimum from our "localpref" communities and get that number as integer, ready to assign it where we need. Now we use a series of if's to check all the possible variants and that is not very convenient. I think this features will greatly boost the possibilities of working with communities in bird.
