If I understand it correctly, that concept is already used in RTC for the control of route propagation. Are you referring to using it for importation as well?

That seems to be just a matter of locally configuring a RTC membership for the purpose of route importation?

Hi,

While bitmask has its own use don't you think that while making RT structure more flexible we should also define the notion of RT prefix ?

That way filtering across groups or areas or ASNs could be very easy and intuitive.

Thx,
R.

Abstract:
   This document specifies a new type of Route Target called Bitmask
   Route Target as a BGP Community Container.  The key element of a
   Bitmask Route Target is a Bitmask.  Two Bitmask Route Targets are
   considered equivalent for the purpose of controlling route
   propagation (via Route Target Constraints) and importation if the
   result of logical "AND" operation of the Bitmask of the two is non-
   zero.
