Abstract:
   The current route target distribution specification described in
   RFC4684 defines Route Target NLRIs of maximum length of 12 bytes.
   The IPv6 specific Route Target extended community is defined in
   [RFC5701] as length of 20 bytes.  Since the current specification
   only supports prefixes of maximum length of 12 bytes, the lack of an
   IPv6 specific Route Target reachability information may be a problem
   when an operator wants to use this application in a pure IPv6
   environment.  This document defines an extension that allows BGP to
   exchange longer length IPv6 Route Target prefixes.
