   This document defines a new Outbound Router Filter (ORF) type for
   BGP, termed "One-time Extended Community Outbound Route Filter",
   which would allow a BGP speaker to send to its BGP peer a route
   refresh request with a set of extended-community-based filters to
   make the peer re-advertise only the specific routes matching the
   filters to the speaker.  This ORF-type enables a BGP speaker to
   refresh some specific routes without requiring its peer to re-
   advertise the whole Adj-RIB-Out, which makes the route refresh
   operation more efficient and reduces the impact on network stability.
   This filter does not change the outbound route filters on BGP peers
   and should only be used for one-time filtering.
