Dear RIPE Routing Working Group, During the past years, we have seen an increasing usage of the BGP community attribute. For instance, in a recent BGP table dump from routeviews, 99% of the routes stored by the router carries BGP communities. In this context, we are currently working on a BGP community taxonomy, i.e., we want to classify and document communities according to their usage. We describe our taxonomy on the following url: http://inl.info.ucl.ac.be/communities Based on this taxonomy, we tried to collect as much as possible information on BGP communities. This was a daunting task as we mainly relied on public database, such as whois server and ISP web sites. Our current database of classified BGP communities currently contains more than 27,000 entries. As researchers, we are now in the process of writing a paper on our work on BGP communities. We plan to submit this paper to ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review for the April issue. This is an editorial paper (max. 4 pages). You can find a preprint of the paper at the following URL: http:// inl.info.ucl.ac.be/communities or directly at http:// inl.info.ucl.ac.be/system/files/communities.pdf Any comments on the paper is welcome. Thank you very much.
