Feature Description
I would very much like to see the ability to map BGP communities to human-readable strings, then seeing the BGP communities show up with the human-readable format alongside them. This feature request specifically applies to the structured output, as Hyperglass actually parses up the communities attached to the resulting routes.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As the user of a BGP looking glass, I might use it to check what sort of communities are set on specific routes, for example, when troubleshooting why traffic takes a given path (but not another). At the moment, the BGP communities list in the output can be difficult to parse up/comprehend, especially if the network in question uses a lot of distinct BGP communities for traffic engineering.
Environment & Use Case
I would use this in an environment with network equipment that supports the structured output.
