Abstract

This document outlines a recommendation to the Internet operational community to avoid the use of BGP Extended Communities at Internet Exchange Point (IXP) Route Servers. It includes guidance for both the Internet Service Provider side peering with Route Servers and IXPs operating Route Servers. This recommendation aims to help the global Internet routing system's performance and help protect Route Server participants against misconfigurations.
