Hi,

I remember talks about large communities in the late 2000s, I see that they have only been standardized in 2017, a mere 6 years ago.. so the question stands, although the exageration can be reduced to.. how many decades does Mikrotik need to support it? :)

I’ve gone off rails, let’s see what Marco says and if it makes sense to actively chase returns of unused 16bit ASNs.

I welcome you to read up on "BGP camel"...

(Note that this is not about "32 bit ASN" but about "large communities",
which were only standardized a few years ago)
