2914:429 is a community to signal to NTT to not announce the route to peers which would perhaps be why you don't see NTT doing that. You can see the documented NTT communities here: http://www.us.ntt.net/support/policy/routing.cfm Jared Mauch

According to RFC 1997, the community format is AA:NN and AA means the AS#. Here, AS702, AS2914 and AS20485 do not appear in the AS-Path and as a result they should not appear in the community. Could anybody tell me what's the reason they do appear in the community of this route?
