Hi Acee,

Thank you very much for your answer. The implication is not declared explicitly in corresponding specifications. So some professionals raised this question when the draft  https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-li-idr-flowspec-populate-to-fib was presented in IETF98. I think it is better to specify explicitly that " A BGP speaker supports FlowSpec SHOULD support the filter actions defined with these extended communities" before table 2 in RFC5575bis since it is under discussion, we have the chance. Comments from the authors of RFC5575bis are expected. Thanks.

Best Regards,

In general, if a BGP speaker supports an address family (RFC 4760), it
should support the required extended communities. The MP capability
negotiation will assure that only BGP speakers supporting the AF will
exchange the associated NLRI and attendant attributes including extended
communities. Of course, many extended communities are, in fact, optional
and the specifications for those extended communities should specify the
details of partial deployment.

So, I don’t believe we need anything here.

Thanks,
Acee
