Hi Paul, Thanks for the response. We already have a pretty complex community policy, which allows for downstream filtering and also allows our customers to set attributes for their prefixes both within our network and upstream from us. Is there a difference between the two ways to define these communities that works better for one "plan of attack" than another? I wouldn't think so, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong about something like this. -evt _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
