BGP communities and policy
BGP communities, route leak prevention, and policy signalling. The RFCs whose summary names the bgp-communities-policy aggregate, with their mandatory and optional coverage.
MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL and SHALL NOT rows of the walked RFCs that a recorded test break proves.
MAY, NOT RECOMMENDED, OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED, SHOULD and SHOULD NOT rows, counted the same way.
Attainable mandatory rows under current classifications, over the unchanged total.
Attainable optional rows under current classifications, over the unchanged total.
RFCs with no valid extraction sign-off: their rows count in neither figure.
A profile is complete only when it requires at least one RFC and none of them is unwalked.
Mandatory ceiling: 41 of 49 (83.7%); excluded: Optional feature not offered (classification can be revisited): 1 of 49 (2.0%); Not applicable (classification can be revisited): 7 of 49 (14.3%). Optional ceiling: 37 of 37 (100.0%). Lowest mandatory ceiling: rfc4360 2 of 5 (40.0%). Lowest optional ceiling: rfc1997 4 of 4 (100.0%). Ceilings describe current classifications, not an immutable Linux maximum. Not-applicable and feature-declined classifications can be revisited. Every gap remains work Ze owes.
Tree
Roots first: an RFC sits one level above the highest level of the RFCs it builds on, and the RFCs of one citation cycle share a level. Each bar is the share of that figure's rows a recorded break proves; the ceiling below it shows attainable rows under current classifications. An RFC that is not walked shows an empty bar and no figure or ceiling.
