Hi David,

And given that the code point that is being defined is 0xFFFF029A and
that falls in the First Come First Served range, technically standards
action isn't required. Furthermore, this draft is really dependant on
RFC3882 and RFC5635, both Informational Status, for a full description
of the intended functionality. If this draft is Standards Track,
some may mistakenly think there is some kind of preference for this
mechanism for triggering Blackholes, vs. the other mechanisms
discussed in RFC3882 and RFC5635. I fully support this defining this
Well-Known BGP Community, however I believe it should be of equal
stature as the other mechanisms discussed in
RFC3882 and RFC5635.
Therefore, for the above reasons, I think the more appropriate status
for this draft is Informational.
In light of what you described here, I don't mind changing the intended
status from STD to INFO. Also, I see similarities with NOPEER/RFC3765
which is "Informational" too.
Would anyone object to this change?
Kind regards,
Job
