IETF.
Title : BGP Communities for Data Collection
Author(s) : D. Meyer
Filename : draft-ietf-grow-collection-communities-08.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2005-8-23
BGP communities (RFC 1997) are used by service providers for many
purposes, including tagging of customer, peer, and geographically
originated routes. Such tagging is typically used to control the
scope of redistribution of routes within a provider's network, and to
its peers and customers. With the advent of large scale BGP data
collection (and associated research), it has become clear that the
information carried in such communities is essential for a deeper
understanding of the global routing system. This memo defines
standard (outbound) communities and their encodings for export to BGP
route collectors.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
