Please note that these are all BGP Large Communities, as defined in RFC8092.
Local Preference
By default all received customer routes are assigned a local preference of 500 in the NELLICUS Backbone. Customers have the ability to alter this local preference using the following BGP communities:
| Community | Local Pref | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 61961:1200:480 | 480 | Backup route for multi-homed customers to Nellicus |
| 61961:1200:300 | 300 | Sets local preference equal to private peer routes |
| 61961:1200:200 | 200 | Sets local preference equal to public peer routes |
| 61961:1200:100 | 100 | Sets local preference equal to transit routes |
| 61961:1200:80 | 80 | Lowest possible value. Used for backup when multi-homed to multiple providers |
Route Prepending
The use of these communities allow a customer to AS Path Pad advertisements to all or a subset of NELLICUS Peers.
