> Current specifications of BGP Extended Communities [BGP-EXTCOMM]
>   support IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, but do not support
>   IPv6 Address Specific Extended Community. The lack of IPv6 Address
>   Specific Extended Community may be a problem when an application  
> uses
>   IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, and one wants to use this
>   application in a pure IPv6 environment. This document defines a new
>   BGP attribute, IPv6 Address Specific Extended Community that
>   addresses this problem. The IPv6 Address Specific Extended Community
>   is similar to the IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community, except
>   that it carries an IPv6 address rather than an IPv4 address.
