Fact remains, operators scrub communities and path-attributes for many reasons. That's why as-path length is used as a traffic engineering mechanism over multiple AS hops. As limited as it is, it's what we have. Kind Regards, Jakob From: Jakob Heitz (jheitz) Date: Friday, August 18, 2023 at

We are indeed doing so. As a symmetric gigabit and above last mile provider (we have 2.5, 5 and 10 Gbps to the home customers in Manhattan) the very rare instances where a customer becomes compromised or a malicious traffic source are worse than the usual. >From a network topology perspective,
