Section 2 describes 4-octet AS specific extended communities.
In general, such communities could be either transitive or 
non-transitive.

IANA considerations specified two particular instances of 4-octet
AS specific extended communities - four-octet AS specific Route
Target, and four-octet AS specific Route Origin. These two communities
are transitive.
