[AusNOG] OPTUS BGP Communities

[David J. Hughes]

Gents,

This is something that AusNOG, being a carrier neutral organisation,  
could offer on behalf of the community.  I'm happy to put this  
together and host it on the new AusNOG web presence that we are  
putting together.  If other feel that's a good idea please let me  
know.  Also, if you have details of the policies of a carrier (your  
own policies for example) then please send them through so that I can  
aggregate that information.


Thanks

David
