Re: [GROW] Information model for BGP Communities (Was: Proposed updates to GROW charter)
All, I think the common description is a good thing and not so hard to build. What I think would be a bit more challenging is to create a protocol extension where each AS (adjucent or not) would be able to signal set of communities it honors and supports in an automated way. Today it is all manual web based thing ... I think sooner or later we need to depart from it. Cheers, R.

Having gone through a flavor of this issue as part of the wide communities work, I think you’ll find it a bit more constrained than you might think. For purposes of a yang model, the main short term question is whether you wish to collapse some of the actions to common ones that might be modeled as Yang identities. Examples of this would include prepend N times. Set local preference. Set or adjust MED. Etc. Once the catalog is built, standardization is no longer the hard part.

[GROW] Information model for BGP Communities (Was: Proposed updates to GROW charter)
Forking this thread.

I would suggest to talk technology specifics in a new thread, and would also like to suggest we first get a better handle on the goal and problem space definition. This probably is a quite large project. Kind regards, Job ___ GROW mailing list GROW@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
