If you want to get into more details off list that will be fine... BGP-Communities is not some magical thing, it is a Custom Defined feature/functionality that a provider can choose to implement or not to.. it only helps in doing traffic management automatically by their down stream customers..
There are a number of providers who don't have BGP Communities implemented for their down-stream customer use, however they may be willing to do some specific traffic engineering that one may desire .. Otherwise, it is what it is. :) Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom 7266 SW 48 Street Miami, FL 33155 Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: supp...@snappytelecom.net > From: "Nick Bright via Mikrotik-users" <mikrotik-users@wispa.org> > To: "Mikrotik Users" <mikrotik-users@wispa.org> > Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2017 2:28:09 PM > Subject: Re: [Mikrotik Users] Multi-hop BGP > On 4/10/2017 1:15 PM, Faisal Imtiaz wrote: >> hint... not sure who are your ISP's but in some cases, you can use bgp >> communities for their upstream (as long as they do not filter or overwrite >> the >> communities) to have the desired affect. > Unfortunately that isn't an option, because of the topology.
