The most significant word is usually > interpreted as an Autonomous System Number (ASN) ' rfc1998: section 4 gives you the slice + dice bits: -- snip -- rfc 1998 -- To make use of the BGP community attribute, several community values (MCI's AS number: 3561 = 0x0DE9) have been defined that can be used by customers to tag routes so that the appropriate "LOCAL_PREF" values are configured. Table 2 lists the appropriate community attribute values (and the mappings of community to LOCAL_PREF): -- snip -- rfc 1998 -- This is the segmenting, and most customers have "ip bgp community new-format" configured. If your issue is about printf %ull vs %d:%d:%d we operators can solve this by ensuring our vendors do the right thing, which we have already done 20 years ago via rfc1998. This nit is imo not worth picking. - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
