Charlie Gucker provides a free service of archiving BGP community guides from multiple networks. The archive is currently at: http://www.onesc.net/communities/ Some of these are public and easy to obtain, some are not. :) I also did a NANOG presentation which tries to throughly cover the kind of information that a service provider might want to encode into communities, and how they might best go about doing that: http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0706/steenbergen2.html -- Richard A Steenbergen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
