This part: http://cw-rr.cw.net/community_prepend.htm is really cool. Do any other backbones support such selective prepending to peers? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis@lewis.org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________

Se whois for AS9057 (Level3 EU) for supported customer communities for all Level3 ASes. /nco
4006 did - I have no idea what the new owners (Cogent) intend, in that area. Hopefully they will stick with it. Implimenting a rich community set like this is a boon to customers, and generally a great learning experience for the engineers involved. It is also a great troubleshooting tool for NOCs and engineering departments. Kudos to C&W for this. Efforts such as this, show that the concept of "transit as a commodity" is really nonsensical. If anyone is actually interested in how to do impliment something like this, let me know. If there is enough interest, perhaps a tutorial on this could be done at the next NANOG. - Daniel Golding

Greetings all, I'm trying to compile a list of community support by some of the larger ASNs. It appears that there's a fair amount of interest in this, so I'd like to build a quick webpage/database listing what I find... but so far my information is horribly incomplete. Does anyone know which ASNs disclose their ingress-tagging communities? I know that 3356 (thanks, Kevin!) and 3549 do, and that 6347 tags but does not disclose. It appears that C&W tags, although with coarser granularity than 3356 or 3549. IOW, support seems similar to selective-prepend support. Of particular interest are public/private/downstream/upstream, geography, and ingress or bottleneck interface bandwidth (if anyone does this) tags. ASNs about which I am curious: 1, 174, 209, 1833, 2828, 2548, 2914, 3967 (will it be rolled into 3561?), 4006 (?), 4136, 4565, 4969, 5645, 5650, 5696, 6259, 6395, 6453, 6461, 6467, 6993, 7018, 7911, 7960, 8001, and any other related or similar-size ASNs that I've omitted. RR-type web page references are ideal, but email is fine. Eddy P.S. -- Although I'm mostly curious about the larger ASNs, it's by no means restricted. If you're a basement multihomer, and want to share, go for it. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brotsman & Dreger, Inc. - EverQuick Internet Division Phone: +1 (316) 794-8922 Wichita/(Inter)national Phone: +1 (785) 865-5885 Lawrence --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 21 May 2001 11:23:58 +0000 (GMT) From: A Trap <blacklist@brics.com> To: blacklist@brics.com Subject: Please ignore this portion of my mail signature.

Ebone, AS1755 do (though I'm sure KPNQ will fix that next year). So does my humble network, though I just noticed the public documentation for it is somewhat out of date. Bugger. :) Chris. -- <signature removed to protect the implausible>
