Yes? So there is the mechanism of application (BGP) and the semantics of application. It seemed to me that the text was implicitly referring to the mechanism of application and gave the impression that a community value could be selectively applied to only some routes contained in a single BGP update. If the text is read as a semantic specification, then yes the same community value can be applied to any number of routes. Either way, the text could do with some small clarification, imho. Geoff
