You always want to prefer customer routes over non customer routes as a service provider. Of course having a robust set of communities to let adjustments happen helps. Without proper tiering of routes you may see unstable routing. Having a standard set of customer, peer, transit set of local preferences would go a long way. Same for geographic scope of routes, only use these on same continent. Makes using a provider if you do something like anycast hard if they haul you long distance. - Jared Sent via RFC1925 compliant device

I'm having to split my blocks in half and announce them that way to get them to send my traffic directly to me through our IX peering session as opposed to one of my transit providers. I'd rather they just let shortest path selection work.On Sun, Jul 24, 2022, 1:43 PM Siyuan Miao <aveline () misaka io> wrote: They do have BGP communities ... but for black-hole only :-(On Sun, Jul 24, 2022 at 9:39 PM Ryan Hamel <administrator () rkhtech org> wrote: Yes.
