Limit of numbers of BGP communities

[Douglas Fischer]

Unfortunately, this number of 100 BGP communities has no basis, at least
not yet, in the RFC.
It is just a recommendation (a very healthy one, by the way) from the NLNOG
team.

As far as I remember, neither the maximum mask limit of /24 for IPv4 nor
/48 for IPv6 in a BGP session are defined in RFC as either must or should.

It would be good if it were in the RFCs, but it is not.
