Hi,

The text refering to reference 9, and reference 9 itself seems wrongly
titled: those Large BGP Communities Beacons were my personal project. I
was originating routes with large communities from my home router. :-)

In that time period, members of my household noticed they couldn't reach
certain websites, and that observatoin led to the discovery there was
squatting of BGP codepoints: http://largebgpcommunities.net/2016/new-path-attribute-value/

Eventually much more codepoint assignment issues were
uncovered, and the registries were updated accordingly:

Kind regards,

Job
