I'm increasingly confused, "RouterAttr" is a word which does not appear
anywhere in: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-idr-wide-bgp-communities

Furthermore, I see on https://trac.ietf.org/trac/idr/wiki/draft-ietf-idr-wide-bgp-communities
indeed has a reference to the word "RouterAttr", but also the wiki shows
"Atoms (1-8): Not Support | Not Support"

Perhaps at the next IDR meeting at IETF113 a coherent consistent
overview can be presented on what is and is not implemented?

Kind regards,

Job
