North American Network Operators Group Date Prev | Date Next | Date Index | Thread Index | Author Index | Historical RE: Regarding global BGP community values
To go forward, I'd like to say here that the new draft are prepared now concerning the global communities. But the approach used was quite other. Such recommendations are useful only if a lot of ISP support it. And I prefer to start from 1 - 2 very simple, intuitively clean, and safe communities, and (may be) reserver some community numbers for the future use in the same purposes. The proposals made here was on the right way, but was a very, very complex and discussional by the form, and I prefer (from ISP point of view) to see 2 standard community NOW to having 20 standard communities in the few future. Remember - any extra control can violate existing policies, and if some proposals can't be realized withouth such violation, they have not a chance to became global ones.
