IDR Working Group R. Raszuk, Ed. Internet-Draft Mirantis Inc. Intended status: Standards Track J. Haas Expires: September 8, 2015 Juniper Networks March 7, 2015 Registered Wide BGP Community Values draft-raszuk-registered-wide-bgp-communities-00 Abstract Communicating various routing policies via route tagging plays an important role in external BGP peering relations. The most common tool used today to attach various information about routes is realized with the use of BGP communities. Such information is important for the peering AS to perform some mutually agreed actions without the need to maintain a separate offline database for each pair of prefix and an associated with it requested set of action entries. This document proposes to establish a new IANA maintained registry of most commonly used Wide BGP Communities by network operators. Such public registry will allow for easy refernece and clear interpretation of the actions associated with received community values.

Introduction RFC 1997 [RFC1997] defines a BGP Community Attribute to be used as a tool to contain in BGP update message various additional information about routes which may help to automate peering administration. As defined in RFC 1997 [RFC1997] BGP Communities attribute consists of one or more sets of four octet values, where each one of them specifies a different community. Except two reserved ranges the Raszuk & Haas Expires September 8, 2015 [Page 2] Internet-Draft registered-wide-bgp-communities March 2015 encoding of community values mandates that first two octets are to contain the Autonomous System number followed by next two octets containing locally defined value. This document lists the most commonly used today BGP communities as well as provides a new registry for future definitions. 2. Globally significant pre-defined values 2.1. Well Known Standard BGP Communities According to RFC 1997 as well as to IANA's Well-Known BGP Communities registry today the following BGP communities are defined to have global significance: +------------+---------------------+----------------------------+ | 0xFFFF0000 | planned-shut | [draft-francois-bgp-gshut] | | 0xFFFFFF01 | NO_EXPORT | [RFC1997] | | 0xFFFFFF02 | NO_ADVERTISE | [RFC1997] | | 0xFFFFFF03 | NO_EXPORT_SUBCONFED | [RFC1997] | | 0xFFFFFF04 | NOPEER | [RFC3765] | +------------+---------------------+----------------------------+ This document recommends for simplicity as well as for avoidance of backward compatibility issues the continued use of BGP Standard Community Attribute type 8 as defined in RFC 1997 to distribute non Autonomous System specific Well-Known BGP Communities. For the same reason the described registry does not intend to obsolete BGP Extended Community Attribute and any already defined and deployed extended communities. The new registry is to be used primarly for new community definitions in particular those which require to carry various new parameters or which should be propagated with a controled scope and radius. 2.2. Registered pre-defined Wide BGP Communities It has been requested numerous times to have a globally unified way to express some particular Autonomous System based routing policies. When defining a new way to encode bgp communities we have an opportunity to define set of new registered routing policies and route markings which could be passed within and between Autonomous Systems resulting in their common interpretation. This document will request IANA to define and maintain a new registry for pre-defined Wide BGP Community values. The allocation policy is on a first come first served basis. Raszuk & Haas Expires September 8, 2015 [Page 3] Internet-Draft registered-wide-bgp-communities March 2015 It is recommended that an implementation supports by an explicit enabling defined below Registered Wide BGP Communities. Depending on the BGP implementation support it is recommended that an implementation would support Registered Wide BGP Communities without breaking static or dynamic peer/update groups. However it needs to be pointed out that support of all Registered Wide BGP Communities is not mandatory. It will be perfectly valid for any BGP implementation to support only subset of Wide BGP Communities. It is strongly advised that each Autonomous System does an inbound verification of received Wide BGP Communities from all of its EBGP peers before accepting them and propagating within their own domain. The document does not mandate nor enforces that given registered type value of Wide BGP Community would be of transitive or non-transitive type. It is for the operator to determine the propagation AS radius required for such community when appending it to routing information. However the document will provide a transitivity radius recommendation to defined communities. The following Wide BGP Communities have global significance and their execution should be uniformly implemented by any BGP speaker supporting given set of Wide BGP Communities. The defined below value of the community should be interpreted as registered value only if "R" - registered bit is set in the community Type 1 container as described in [draft-raszuk-wide-bgp-communities] Otherwise the value is local and it's actions is locally defined by the operator. 2.2.1. General Registered Wide BGP Community Values The below set of communities will be defined to be carried in Wide BGP Community Type 1, with the container type values (Community Registered Value) as per Section 5.
