Traffic Engineering

At AS35133 we provide communities to allow customers to manage their traffic, our communities use the following logic:

• Do not export: 35133:0:0
• Export to ASN: 35133:1:ID
• Do not export to ASN: 35133:0:ID
• Prepend 1x to ASN: 35133:101:ID
• Prepend 2x to ASN: 35133:102:ID
• Prepend 3x to ASN: 35133:103:ID

For internet exchanges we use the route-server to refer to the entire internet exchange, more specifics are available for direct peering sessions. Route-server communities will be passed through to the exchange. So the internet exchanges’ communities can be used as well. Example for ERA-IX: https://www.era-ix.com/communities
