In the route leaks solution draft,

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-grow-route-leak-detection-mitigation-02

we (the authors) have proposed using BGP Large Community.

We specify this to be a "well-known transitive Large Community".



Question:

Can the draft simply make an IANA request for

a Global Administrator ASN value for Route Leaks Protection (RLP) type

and request that it be published in IANA registry

as a "well-known Transitive Large Community"?



There is no IANA registry for Large Communities yet;

we have requested IDR and GROW Chairs to facilitate that.



----------------

Details/background:



We've read the following RFCs related to Large Communities:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8092

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8195



RFC 8195 has this table:

                 +-------------------------------+-------------------------+

                 |       RFC8092                    | RFC 8195                |

                 +-------------------------------+--------------------------+

                 | Global Administrator    |      ASN                     |

                 |  Local Data Part 1           |    Function              |

                 |  Local Data Part 2           |   Parameter            |

                 +--------------------------------+-------------------------+

which is instructive. In the examples that RFC 8195 offers,

it appears it is *assumed* that the Large Communities are transitive.



For comparison, in Extended Communities (RFC 7153), there are

explicit Type values assigned for Transitive, Non-transitive, etc.

https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-extended-communities/bgp-extended-communities.xhtml

However, there is no such explicit Type specification

for Large Communities (in RFC 8092 or elsewhere).



Thank you.
