Hi

We support these 'type templates':

RFC 4360 3.1.  Two-Octet AS Specific Extended Community
RFC 4360 3.2.  IPv4 Address Specific Extended Community
RFC 5668  4-Octet AS Specific BGP Extended Community

These could have these subtypes:

RFC 4360 4. Route Target Community
RFC 4360 5. Route Origin Community
(or any other subtype using 'unknown X' syntax)

You could also construct any ext. community by: (generic, X, Y)


But it is true that all of this is not well documented.
