I like using BGP communities:
o filter announcements you receive from downstreams based on your
criteria of choice
o set a specific BGP community (yourAS:whatever) on announcements which
are to be propagated to various places (upstream providers, etc.)
o do output filtering based on the communities you set
Make sure you clear yourAS:whatever in announcements from your BGP peers.
You can use this same technique for prefixes you originate, so that all your
outbound BGP filtering is based on communities.
