IANA Registries for BGP Extended Communities
RFC 7153, “IANA Registries for BGP Extended Communities”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2014 by E. Rosen, Y. Rekhter. It updates RFC 4360, RFC 5701. It has since been updated by RFC 9184. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document reorganizes the IANA registries for the type values and sub-type values of the BGP Extended Communities attribute and the BGP IPv6-Address-Specific Extended Communities attribute. This is done in order to remove interdependencies among the registries, thus making it easier for IANA to determine which codepoints are available for assignment in which registries. This document also clarifies the information that must be provided to IANA when requesting an allocation from one or more of these registries. These changes are compatible with the existing allocations and thus do not affect protocol implementations. The changes will, however, impact the "IANA Considerations" sections of future protocol specifications. This document updates RFC 4360 and RFC 5701.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
