[AusNOG] Exetel communities

[Shannon Gernyi]

Thanks Macca, in reviewing your response, two things have become clear to me: 

1. The reason I wrote off "no-export" initially. 
2. That I didn't think my question through in the first place (Well, I didn't ask what I meant to ask). 

What I want is for Exetel to not export to their upstreams but do export to their customers, and accept the routes themselves. 

In thinking about it further, it might be doable to give exetel "summary routes" with no export, where we announce more specific through a different provider covering the whole network. Their (Single homed customers on Exetel who receive full tables) traffic will enter Exetel (destined for us via the other provider as far as their router is concerned), and then go straight to us. 
Is there any flaw in my thinking here? 

Cheers,

Use with caution -- single homed exetel bgp customers will also not receive any prefix that you send with no-export. If no larger prefix or default exists in those networks, they will have no route at all.

Standard "no-export" community...?

G'day Noggers, 

I'm looking for some information on communities available on Exetel, if any exist. 
Their website states there is no way to influence traffic ingress to them, I'm hoping to find a way to announce some networks to them, without them redistributing at all. 

I'm following up with our contacts at Exetel, but I thought the wealth of knowledge here might turn something up that my google-fu can't ;) 

Cheers,
