Note I most cases, they don’t’ modify them, so get their upstream communities and see if it affects traffic. I.e. they may pass through to their upstream without issues.

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<mailto:supp...@snappytelecom.net> ________________________________ From: "Nick Bright via Mikrotik-users" <mikrotik-users@wispa.org<mailto:mikrotik-users@wispa.org>> To: "Mikrotik Users" <mikrotik-users@wispa.org<mailto: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. The issue is that a significant amount of the traffic comes from a source directly connected to an intermediary network, before it reaches Tier 1 Internet; and that intermediary network is the one that is declining to offer support for BGP communities. It's the same reason that path pre-pending isn't working well either. -- ----------------------------------------------- - Nick Bright - - Vice President of Technology - - Valnet -=- We Connect You -=- - - Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 / Fax 620-331-0789 - - Web http://www.valnet.net/ - ----------------------------------------------- - Are your files safe? - - Valnet Vault - Secure Cloud Backup - - More information & 30 day free trial at - - http://www.valnet.net/services/valnet-vault - ----------------------------------------------- This email message and any attachments are intended solely for the use of the addressees hereof.
