The document should recommend consistency in what NRENs announce to each
other and peer NRENs and other policy goals we have in common. I have seen
it several times where an NREN doesn't announce a prefix to one peer but
does to another peer, causing traffic to go the wrong way around the globe.
Actually, documenting the prefixes and the relationships will go a long way
to resolving many of these issues. Nevertheless, we should recognize and
document our common policy goals in addition to the mechanisms used to
achieve the goals.
Thanks

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.

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.
