Local Pref
The NELLICUS backbone makes use of the following local pref:
| Local Preference | Routes |
|---|---|
| 1000 | Internal backbone / infrastructure routes |
| 500 | Downstream / Customer Routes |
| 480 | Downstream / Customer Routes (backup) |
| 400 | Direct PNI Session Routes (over physical connection) |
| 350 | Private cross-datacenter fabric / private IX VLAN |
| 300 | Direct Peer over Internet Exchange |
| 200 | Internet Exchange Route Server Routes |
| 100 | Upstream / Transit Provider Routes |
| 50 | Route of last resort |
By default, all received customer routes are assigned a local preference of 500 in the NELLLICUS Backbone. Customers can manipulate this preference using our BGP action communities:
