…to bad type match

The ecommunity_non_transitive() helper incorrectly used CHECK_FLAG() to test against ECOMMUNITY_ENCODE_IP_NON_TRANS (0x41), which is a full type code, not a bitmask. As a result, type 0x03 (transitive opaque), used for encapsulation (e.g., VXLAN), was mistakenly matched and stripped during re-announcement.

This patch replaces the incorrect CHECK_FLAG() with a direct equality check.

Bug caused stripping of valid VXLAN encapsulation communities (type 0x03) on reflected UPDATEs.

That should fix the bug mentioned here: https://blog.ipspace.net/2025/06/evpn-route-attributes-matter/

Is the same update to an equality check needed for ECOMMUNITY_FLAG_NON_TRANSITIVE?

Is the same update to an equality check needed for ECOMMUNITY_FLAG_NON_TRANSITIVE?

This one is an actual flag representing the transitive bit and not a type. From rfc4360:

     The high-order octet of the Type Field is as shown below:

         0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
        +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
        |I|T|           |
        +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

        I - IANA authority bit

           Value 0: IANA-assignable type using the "First Come First
           Serve" policy

           Value 1: Part of this Type Field space is for IANA
           assignable types using either the Standard Action or the
           Early IANA Allocation policy.  The rest of this Type
           Field space is for Experimental use.

        T - Transitive bit

           Value 0: The community is transitive across ASes

           Value 1: The community is non-transitive across ASes

        Remaining 6 bits: Indicates the structure of the community
