Some principles

• Routes imported from a BGP session are tagged with a community according to the BGP peer.
• Routes exported to a BGP session are filtered using communities based on the BGP peer.
  • Examples:
    • Routes exported to a transit operator session only contain properly tagged ones (members/clients/internal).
    • Routes exported to a member session are all Internet routes (full-view).
