Hello experts from OPSAWG, IDR and IPFIX,

This mail is to follow up the discussion in the mail lists and face to face=
 meetings.

Since traffic aggregation in BGP community granularity is useful for severa=
l applications such as backbone network traffic engineering, https://datatr=
acker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-bgp-community/ introduces new in=
formation elements(IEs) in IPFIX to export the BGP community information of=
 a specific traffic flow. At present, this draft only defines the IEs for s=
tandard community specified in RFC1997. To solve the following two signific=
ant questions raised in the previous meetings and mails, I solicit more com=
ments and solution alternatives.

Question 1: Does one IPFIX message  have enough space to fit all the commun=
ities related to a specific flow?
BGP community, including standard, extended, large and community container,=
 is a path  attribute of BGP distributed in an update message. Since the ma=
ximum length of one BGP message is 4096  bytes as per RFC4271 and 64K bytes=
 for one IPFIX message as per RFC7011, the answer for this question SHOULD =
be yes. Howerer, some experts say the specification for BGP message lenth i=
n RFC4271  is out of date. Its length is not limited to 4096 bytes. But I d=
o not know the new specification. Solution alternatives for this question a=
re also welcomed.

Question 2: Do we need to cover other kinds of BGP communities, such as ext=
ended, large and community container?
Based on previous discussion, large community defined in RFC8092 will be co=
vered in the next version, since it has the same application purpose as sta=
ndard community. Till now, we do not reach consensus about extended communi=
ty defined in RFC4360 and community container defined in https://datatracke=
r.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-wide-bgp-communities/. We usually do not use =
the statistical information based on extended community or community contai=
ner to do traffic engineering tasks. If you think it is useful to export th=
ese two kinds of BGP community informaiton in IPFIX, please show your opini=
ons and application use cases.

Thank you all very much and best regards,

<div>Question 1:&nbsp;<span style=3D"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); fo=
nt-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">Does&nbsp;one&nbsp;IPFIX&nbsp;message&n=

sp;communities&nbsp;related&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;specific&nbsp;flow?&nbsp;</=

attribute&nbsp;of&nbsp;BGP&nbsp;distributed&nbsp;in&nbsp;an&nbsp;update&nbs=
p;message. Since the maximum length of one&nbsp;BGP message&nbsp;is&nbsp;40=
96
 &nbsp;bytes as&nbsp;per&nbsp;RFC4271&nbsp;and&nbsp;64K&nbsp;bytes&nbsp;for=
&nbsp;one&nbsp;IPFIX&nbsp;message&nbsp;as&nbsp;per&nbsp;RFC7011, the answer=
 for this question SHOULD be yes. Howerer, some experts say the specificati=
on for BGP message lenth&nbsp;</span><span style=3D"font-size: 10.5pt; line=

 RFC4271</span><span style=3D"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5; backgrou=

 0, 0); font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">&nbsp;is out of date. Its len=
gth is not limited to 4096 bytes. But I do not
 know the new specification. Solution alternatives for this question are al=
so welcomed.</span></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-size: 10.5pt; =

</span></div>
<div><span style=3D"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-size: 10.5pt; =
line-height: 1.5;">Question 2:&nbsp;</span><span style=3D"background-color:=
 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;">Do&nbsp;we&nbsp;ne=
ed&nbsp;to&nbsp;cover&nbsp;other&nbsp;kinds&nbsp;of&nbsp;BGP&nbsp;communiti=
es, such as&nbsp;</span><span style=3D"font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 1.5;=

 container</span><span style=3D"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-si=

<div><span style=3D"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); font-size: 10.5pt; =
line-height: 1.5;">Based on previous discussion, large community defined in=
 RFC8092 will be covered in the next version, since it has the same applica=
tion purpose as standard community.
 Till now, we do not reach consensus about extended community defined in RF=
C4360 and community container defined in&nbsp;</span><span style=3D"backgro=

a>.
 We usually do not use the statistical information based on extended commun=
ity or community container to do traffic engineering tasks. If you think it=
 is useful to export these two kinds of BGP community informaiton in IPFIX,=
 please show your opinions and application
 use cases.&nbsp;</div>
