The BGP Communities Workshop brings together network operators, Internet measurement researchers, and tool developers to discuss the operational use, measurement, and interpretation of BGP communities. Through invited presentations and moderated discussions, the workshop will explore topics including routing policy, community observability, geolocation, validation, tooling, and emerging research challenges. The workshop aims to foster collaboration between academia and industry, identify open measurement problems, and strengthen engagement between the Internet measurement and operational routing communities.
