According to RFC 5575, the type of traffic-rate is 0x8006 and its transitive bit is 0.
However, it is mentioned that "the traffic-rate extended community is a non-transitive extended community across the autonomous-system boundary".
Is this indeed the case where we should not honor the transitive bit?


Thanks,
Hyojeong
