Currently, LargeCommunity's string representation has an extra lg: prefix which is not conforming with RFC8092's definiton.

The canonical representation of BGP Large Communities is three separate unsigned integers in decimal notation in the following order: Global Administrator, Local Data 1, Local Data 2. Numbers MUST NOT contain leading zeros; a zero value MUST be represented with a single zero. Each number is separated from the next by a single colon. For example: 64496:4294967295:2, 64496:0:0.

We should also check extended community RFCs to make sure we do string representation correctly for them as well:

• RFC4360
• RFC5668
• RFC7153
