<pre>Note that you can also use BGP communities to adjust how the IX advertises your subnets to individual peers using the documentation here:<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>Unfortunately you can't set a community of 0:7545 to avoid advertising your routes to TPG, as they aren't the direct peer - you would need to block advertising to HE using 0:6427. It may be sufficient for you to prepend the routes being advertised to HE, using 3:6427, to reduce the amount of traffic taking that path, but still keeping it available.<o:p></o:p></pre>
