Last Updated:11/10/2011


Filtering on /24 boundary is applied - we do not re-advertise any route more specific than a /24 to external peers.

Community Definition - Local Preference/No-Export
By default, peer routes are assigned a local preference of 80. Customer routes learned over NSP or private peering links will never be preferred over a direct customer connection without prior approval by Atlantech Online engineering staff. This includes more specifics of customer aggregate blocks.

Atlantech provides local-preference control for customer links (settable by customer).

  • 7784:90 Set local preference 90
  • 7784:120 Set local preference 120
  • 7784:0 Set do not export beyond AS7784

By default, customer routes are assigned a local preference of 100.

  • 7784:90 Set local preference 90
  • 7784:120 Set local preference 120
  • 7784:0 Set do not export beyond AS7784

Community Definitions:

  • NSP Peer Prepend
  • NSP Peer Local Preference
  • NSP Peer No Export

Atlantech provides community values accepted by Atlantech Online to affect traffic flows off-net.

These communities are provided as-is and no guarantee is made as to their effectiveness. The routing policies of peers can and do change periodically. Atlantech Online will make a best effort to ensure that the "influence peer" community policies below work to the best of our knowledge.
