I am interested in only accepting international traffic from one of our secondary providers only. Most providers I have dealt with have a TE community list which allows me to prepend or not not advertise to their upstream peers. However, my primary provider does not have this. My goal is to not advertise internationally through this provider. I am considering just setting the communities for my provider's upstream peers (about 7 of them) to tell them to not advertise internationally. I am also trying to get my primary provider to implement this functionality. Are there any better ways to do this? Also, if anyone has a consolidated list of provider TE communities that would be a great resource.

Thomas,
Check this link: http://onesc.net/communities/
here's a likely silly question: what's the thinking behind not purposefully and openly publishing available communities and their associated policy implications? difficulty? embarrassment? both? neither?
