FWIW Heas is extremely right here.

> 1997 & LC are not the same.

Indeed and those who claim to say so in order to progress Large under the
cover of RFC1997 are just wrong (sorry).

We are defining a new world wide functionality in BGP and we should take
all what it takes to do it right.

If some folks want parity with RFC1997 Large should be 4:4 no more. It is
not 4:4 and it is a new attribute so whoever in their policy decides to use
new attribute to modify routes he/she better understands what are the
consequences.

While this may be taken as "distraction" or attempt to "derail" large I am
spending my private time on this list to make the best for BGP as protocol
realizing how hard it is to deploy new BGP extension worldwide.

And if so progressing large should be able to accommodate operators voice
captured in this document:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-registered-wide-bgp-communities-02

... and we are just few millimeters far from addressing 90% of those use
cases if we would not take a selfish view and turn large into 4:4:4:4.

With respect to all,
Robert.
