Mark,
That’s a great suggestion. I believe Internet2 used to publish a set of community tags
that attempted to provide this capability. I’m looking through old records to see if there
is anything worth reusing or learning from.

Based on the feedback from this list, I’ve put
together a rough draft of a best practice. Anyone can add comments to the Google Doc. If
you’d like to edit the document directly, please send me your email, and I’ll add you to
the document’s authors.
I would suggest that you develop a mutual set of communities to indicate if a prefix is a
customer or a transit receiving peer, and which continent the prefix lives on so that some
sensible pruning could be attempted. As an example it would probably be helpful for Géant
to know if Internet2 is sending prefixes from South America or Africa as they possibly
have a better path to those locations and would want to depreference an Internet2 version
even if the AS path was shorter. If there are regions with limited connectivity options
than enumerating them might be helpful.
Mark.
