[ris-int] RFC4384 community strings for RIS

Arife, Shane,

In case you didn't notice: the RFC on BGP communities for data collection
was published last week (RFC4384).  The idea is to tag routes collected
by routeviews, RIS and others with specific values in order to specify
what they are.  This should make life easier for people doing research.
I think it'd be good if we encourage the RIS peers to use those values.
Steps that I see:

1. Summarize RFC, so people know what to put in without having to
    read the whole document.  (Ask comms for help?)
2. Put this information on the web.
3. Email information to peers.
4. Ask people to use those values.

1 day of work, not very urgent, but useful.  Is this something you
can pick up?

Henk
