Hi,

we use BIRD 2.0.7 BGP VPNv4 and need to filter extended BGP communities on ingress. \
Config snippet:

define PFILTER_RT = [ (rt, 65100, *), (rt, 65101, *), (rt, 65102, *) ];

filter IMPORT_FILTER
{
                bgp_ext_community.filter(PFILTER_RT_MASTER);
                accept;
}

protocol bgp 'my-router' from VPN4_S3_TPL_BGP_DEFAULT
{
  vpn4 mpls {
      import filter IMPORT_FILTER;
                  };
}

This is working as expected. We discovered that RO communities are filtered too (not \
a surprise) and we extended the definition:

define PFILTER_RT = [ (rt, 65100, *), (rt, 65101, *), (rt, 65102, *), (ro, 65100, *), \
(ro, 65101, *), (ro, 65102, *)  ];

We dont need to filter strict for RO communities and best would be to allow all. Is \
there a better way to allow only defined RT and all RO communities? Are there any \
plans to allow wildcard or range in these definitions? Like:     (ro, *, *)     or    \
(ro, 100..300, *)

Another question: Are other extended community sub types beside RO and RT (as defined \
in RFC 7153) filtered by function bgp_ext_community.filter() ?

Thanks in advance


Regards
Tobias
