Abstract
This document describes the "extended community" BGP-4 attribute.
This attribute provides a mechanism for labeling information carried
in BGP-4. These labels can be used to control the distribution of
this information, or for other applications.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>. Introduction</span>
The Extended Community Attribute provides a mechanism for labeling
information carried in BGP-4 [<a href="#ref-BGP-4" title=""A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4)"">BGP-4</a>]. It provides two important
enhancements over the existing BGP Community Attribute [<a href="./rfc1997" title=""BGP Communities Attribute"">RFC1997</a>]:
- An extended range, ensuring that communities can be assigned for
a plethora of uses, without fear of overlap.
- The addition of a Type field provides structure for the
community space.
The addition of structure allows the usage of policy based on the
application for which the community value will be used. For example,
one can filter out all communities of a particular type, or allow
only certain values for a particular type of community. It also
allows one to specify whether a particular community is transitive or
non-transitive across an Autonomous System (AS) boundary. Without
structure, this can only be accomplished by explicitly enumerating

all community values that will be denied or allowed and passed to BGP
speakers in neighboring ASes based on the transitive property.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-1.1" href="#section-1.1">1.1</a>. Specification of Requirements</span>
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in <a href="./rfc2119">RFC 2119</a> [<a href="./rfc2119" title=""Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels"">RFC2119</a>].
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>. BGP Extended Communities Attribute</span>
The Extended Communities Attribute is a transitive optional BGP
attribute, with the Type Code 16. The attribute consists of a set of
"extended communities". All routes with the Extended Communities
attribute belong to the communities listed in the attribute.
Each Extended Community is encoded as an 8-octet quantity, as
follows:
- Type Field : 1 or 2 octets
- Value Field : Remaining octets
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Type high | Type low(*) | |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Value |
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
(*) Present for Extended types only, used for the Value field
otherwise.
Type Field:
Two classes of Type Field are introduced: Regular type and
Extended type.
The size of Type Field for Regular types is 1 octet, and the
size of the Type Field for Extended types is 2 octets.
The value of the high-order octet of the Type Field determines
if an extended community is a Regular type or an Extended type.
The class of a type (Regular or Extended) is not encoded in the
structure of the type itself. The class of a type is specified
in the document that defines the type and the IANA registry.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4360">RFC 4360</a> BGP Extended Communities Attribute February 2006</span>
The high-order octet of the Type Field is as shown below:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|I|T| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
I - IANA authority bit
Value 0: IANA-assignable type using the "First Come First
Serve" policy
Value 1: Part of this Type Field space is for IANA
assignable types using either the Standard Action or the
Early IANA Allocation policy. The rest of this Type
Field space is for Experimental use.
T - Transitive bit
Value 0: The community is transitive across ASes
Value 1: The community is non-transitive across ASes
Remaining 6 bits: Indicates the structure of the community
Value Field:
The encoding of the Value Field is dependent on the "type" of
the community as specified by the Type Field.
Two extended communities are declared equal only when all 8 octets of
the community are equal.
The two members in the tuple <Type, Value> should be enumerated to
specify any community value. The remaining octets of the community
interpreted based on the value of the Type field.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>. Defined BGP Extended Community Types</span>
This section introduces a few extended types and defines the format
of the Value Field for those types. The types introduced here
provide "templates", where each template is identified by the high-
order octet of the extended community Type field, and the lower-order
octet (sub-type) is used to indicate a particular type of extended
community.

The value of the high-order octet of this extended type is either
0x00 or 0x40. The low-order octet of this extended type is used to
indicate sub-types.
The Value Field consists of two sub-fields:
Global Administrator sub-field: 2 octets
This sub-field contains an Autonomous System number assigned by
IANA.
Local Administrator sub-field: 4 octets
The organization identified by Autonomous System number in the
Global Administrator sub-field can encode any information in
this sub-field. The format and meaning of the value encoded in
this sub-field should be defined by the sub-type of the
community.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.2" href="#section-3.2">3.2</a>. IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community</span>

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4360">RFC 4360</a> BGP Extended Communities Attribute February 2006</span>
The Value field consists of two sub-fields:
Global Administrator sub-field: 4 octets
This sub-field contains an IPv4 unicast address assigned by one
of the Internet registries.
Local Administrator sub-field: 2 octets
The organization that has been assigned the IPv4 address in the
Global Administrator sub-field can encode any information in
this sub-field. The format and meaning of this value encoded
in this sub-field should be defined by the sub-type of the
community.
<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.3" href="#section-3.3">3.3</a>. Opaque Extended Community</span>

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The value of the high-order octet of this extended type is either
0x03 or 0x43. The low-order octet of this extended type is used to
indicate sub-types.
This is a generic community of extended type. The value of the sub-
type that should define the Value Field is to be assigned by IANA.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-4" href="#section-4">4</a>. Route Target Community</span>
The Route Target Community identifies one or more routers that may
receive a set of routes (that carry this Community) carried by BGP.
This is transitive across the Autonomous System boundary.
The Route Target Community is of an extended type.
The value of the high-order octet of the Type field for the Route
Target Community can be 0x00, 0x01, or 0x02. The value of the low-
order octet of the Type field for this community is 0x02.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4360">RFC 4360</a> BGP Extended Communities Attribute February 2006</span>
When the value of the high-order octet of the Type field is 0x00 or
0x02, the Local Administrator sub-field contains a number from a
numbering space that is administered by the organization to which the
Autonomous System number carried in the Global Administrator sub-
field has been assigned by an appropriate authority.
When the value of the high-order octet of the Type field is 0x01, the
Local Administrator sub-field contains a number from a numbering
space that is administered by the organization to which the IP
address carried in the Global Administrator sub-field has been
assigned by an appropriate authority.
One possible use of the Route Target Community is specified in
[<a href="./rfc4364" title=""BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)"">RFC4364</a>].
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-5" href="#section-5">5</a>. Route Origin Community</span>
The Route Origin Community identifies one or more routers that inject
a set of routes (that carry this Community) into BGP. This is
transitive across the Autonomous System boundary.
The Route Origin Community is of an extended type.
The value of the high-order octet of the Type field for the Route
Origin Community can be 0x00, 0x01, or 0x02. The value of the low-
order octet of the Type field for this community is 0x03.
When the value of the high-order octet of the Type field is 0x00 or
0x02, the Local Administrator sub-field contains a number from a
numbering space that is administered by the organization to which the
Autonomous System number carried in the Global Administrator sub-
field has been assigned by an appropriate authority.
When the value of the high-order octet of the Type field is 0x01, the
Local Administrator sub-field contains a number from a numbering
space that is administered by the organization to which the IP
address carried in the Global Administrator sub-field has been
assigned by an appropriate authority.
One possible use of the Route Origin Community is specified in
[<a href="./rfc4364" title=""BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)"">RFC4364</a>].

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-6" href="#section-6">6</a>. Operations</span>
A BGP speaker may use the Extended Communities attribute to control
which routing information it accepts or distributes to its peers.
The Extended Community attribute MUST NOT be used to modify the BGP
best path selection algorithm in a way that leads to forwarding
loops.
A BGP speaker receiving a route that doesn't have the Extended
Communities attribute MAY append this attribute to the route when
propagating it to its peers.
A BGP speaker receiving a route with the Extended Communities
attribute MAY modify this attribute according to the local policy.
By default if a range of routes is to be aggregated and the resultant
aggregates path attributes do not carry the ATOMIC_AGGREGATE
attribute, then the resulting aggregate should have an Extended
Communities path attribute that contains the set union of all the
Extended Communities from all of the aggregated routes. The default
behavior could be overridden via local configuration, in which case
handling the Extended Communities attribute in the presence of route
aggregation becomes a matter of the local policy of the BGP speaker
that performs the aggregation.
If a route has a non-transitivity extended community, then before
advertising the route across the Autonomous System boundary the
community SHOULD be removed from the route. However, the community
SHOULD NOT be removed when advertising the route across the BGP
Confederation boundary.
A route may carry both the BGP Communities attribute, as defined in
[<a href="./rfc1997" title=""BGP Communities Attribute"">RFC1997</a>]), and the Extended BGP Communities attribute. In this
case, the BGP Communities attribute is handled as specified in
[<a href="./rfc1997" title=""BGP Communities Attribute"">RFC1997</a>], and the Extended BGP Communities attribute is handled as
specified in this document.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-7" href="#section-7">7</a>. IANA Considerations</span>
All the BGP Extended Communities contain a Type field. The IANA has
created a registry entitled, "BGP Extended Communities Type". The
IANA will maintain this registry.
The Type could be either regular or extended. For a regular Type the
IANA allocates an 8-bit value; for an extended Type the IANA
allocates a 16-bit value.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc4360">RFC 4360</a> BGP Extended Communities Attribute February 2006</span>
The value allocated for a regular Type MUST NOT be reused as the
value of the high-order octet when allocating an extended Type. The
value of the high-order octet allocated for an extended Type MUST NOT
be reused when allocating a regular Type.
The Type field indicates where the Extended Community is transitive
or not. Future requests for assignment of a Type value must specify
whether the Type value is intended for a transitive or a non-
transitive Extended Community.
Future assignment are to be made using either the Standards Action
process defined in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>], the Early IANA Allocation process
defined in [<a href="./rfc4020" title=""Early IANA Allocation of Standards Track Code Points"">RFC4020</a>], or the "First Come First Served" policy defined
in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>].
The following table summarizes the ranges for the assignment of
Types:
Type Standard Action First Come
Early IANA Allocation First Served
------------------ --------------------- ------------
regular, transitive 0x90-0xbf 0x00-x3f
regular, non-transitive 0xd0-0xff 0x40-0x7f
extended, transitive 0x9000-0xbfff 0x0000-0x3fff
extended, non-transitive 0xd000-0xffff 0x4000-0x7fff
Assignments consist of a name and the value.
The Type values 0x80-0x8f and 0xc0-0xcf for regular Types, and
0x8000-0x8fff and 0xc000-0xcfff for extended Types are for
Experimental use as defined in <a href="./rfc3692">RFC 3692</a>.
This document defines a class of extended communities called two-
octet AS specific extended community for which the IANA is to create
and maintain a registry entitled "Two-octet AS Specific Extended
Community". All the communities in this class are of extended Types.
Future assignment are to be made using the "First Come First Served"
policy defined in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>]. The Type values for the transitive
communities of the two-octet AS specific extended community class are
0x0000-0x00ff, and for the non-transitive communities of that class
are 0x4000-0x40ff. Assignments consist of a name and the value.
This document makes the following assignments for the two-octet AS
specific extended community:

two-octet AS specific Route Origin 0x0003
This document defines a class of extended communities called IPv4
address specific extended community for which the IANA is to create
and maintain a registry entitled "IPv4 Address Specific Extended
Community". All the communities in this class are of extended Types.
Future assignment are to be made using the "First Come First Served"
policy defined in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>]. The Type values for the transitive
communities of the two-octet AS specific extended community class
are 0x0100-0x01ff, and for the non-transitive communities of that
class are 0x4100-0x41ff. Assignments consist of a name and the
value.
This document makes the following assignments for the IPv4 address
specific extended community:
Name Type Value
---- ----------
IPv4 address specific Route Target 0x0102
IPv4 address specific Route Origin 0x0103
This document defines a class of extended communities called opaque
extended community for which the IANA is to create and maintain a
registry entitled "Opaque Extended Community". All the communities
in this class are of extended Types. Future assignment are to be
made using the "First Come First Served" policy defined in [<a href="./rfc2434" title="">RFC2434</a>].
The Type values for the transitive communities of the opaque extended
community class are 0x0300-0x03ff, and for the non-transitive
communities of that class are 0x4300-0x43ff. Assignments consist of
a name and the value.
When requesting an allocation from more than one registry defined
above, one may ask for allocating the same Type value from these
registries. If possible, the IANA should accommodate such requests.
<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-8" href="#section-8">8</a>. Security Considerations</span>
This extension to BGP has similar security implications as BGP
Communities [<a href="./rfc1997" title=""BGP Communities Attribute"">RFC1997</a>].
This extension to BGP does not change the underlying security issues.
Specifically, an operator who is relying on the information carried
in BGP must have a transitive trust relationship back to the source
of the information. Specifying the mechanism(s) to provide such a
relationship is beyond the scope of this document.
