BGP Extended Community Registries Update
draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ext-com-registry-00
Abstract
This document updates several BGP Extended Community registries in
order to replace the "Experimental Use" registration procedure in
some entries, since their use is clearly not experimental and thus
misleading.
This document updates RFC7153.

1. Introduction
[RFC7153] reorganizes the IANA registries for the type values and
sub-type values of the BGP Extended Communities attribute. As a
result the IANA maintained registry entitled "BGP Transitive Extended
Community Types" includes a range of Type Values (0x80-0x8F) with
Experimental Use registration procedure. Out of this experimental
range the types 0x80, 0x81, 0x82 have been assigned via [RFC5575] and
[RFC7674]. The primary use for those types and sub-type registries
is non experimental.
Section 2 of this document requests the registry cleanup to reflect
the actual use of those code-points (removing "Experimental Use" from
the sub-type registry names) and changes the registration procedure
of the types 0x80, 0x81, 0x82 to first come first serve.
