I am not sure where RFC7432 defines a new Route Target.

In fact RFC 7432 is referring to RFC7153 which allocates sub-type 0x02 (ES
Import) for EVPN  Extended Community Type 0x06 - but none of the above
touches Route Target.

To recap ... Route Target Extended Communities high order octet can be
0x00, 0x01 or 0x02.

EVPN Extended Community type is 0x06.

Both are completely different and IMO calling EVPN Extended Community as
"Route Target" is not right.

Thx,
R.
