generic extended communities support
Bird folks, Is there any chance that the transitive part of the following RFC draft will be implemented in BIRD? https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-as4octet-extcomm-generic-subtype-... I only ask as the implementation seems like it might be trivial since one can already do something like (4, 4200000000, 60000) already works for ext communities in Bird. This would definitely be useful to me, as I am currently abusing route origin subtype ext communities since they have no special meaning in bird. I would love to see the following syntax available: (generic, 4200000000, 60000) Thanks, wt

Yes, it is rather trivial, there is just one minor issue - 'generic' keyword in EC is already used for something different (essentially 'raw' EC). But that could be handled by using 'raw' instead of current 'generic' and then use 'generic' for draft-ietf...generic. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
