If this is your situation, perhaps already you have propagation suppression communities that cause the Right Thing to happen at the outer edge of your pile-o-ASes. I've certainly done that when in a similar situation. Send that community along with the blackhole community and you're done. You're correct that the well-known communities don't scale to multiple ASes. > Don't simplify the protocol > unnecessarily based on your specific assumptions on how others may or > may not use a feature. Trying to morph the protocol into something that is arbitrarily complex and custom-tailored to your particular situation is no better in terms of assumptions of how others may or may not use a feature. Provide basic building blocks and let people build out of them what they may. > Blackholing schemes need to be simple enough > to employ in a hurry at 4am whilst still achieving the desired effect. And Richard's suggestion is just that. ---Rob
