Hats Network Inc.AS203314 BGP Community
Hats Network (AS203314) has established a comprehensive BGP community structure to help our users manage their routing policies effectively.
This document outlines the well-known BGP communities and specific BGP communities implemented by Hats Network.
Well-known BGP Communities
Well-known BGP communities are standardized values that control routing behaviors across BGP networks. They have universally accepted meanings and are recognized by all BGP routers, regardless of their network or AS. For example, NO_EXPORT_ANY (RFC 1997) prevents a route from being exported from the local AS, while BLACKHOLE_POP blackholes traffic for a specific route at a particular PoP.
| Community | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
65281 | NO_EXPORT_ANY | Route will not be exported from Hats Network (AS203314) |
65282 | NO_EXPORT_POP | Route will not be exported from this PoP |
65283 | No_EXPORT_REGION | Route will not be exported from this Region |
666 | BLACKHOLE_POP | Route will be blackhole at this PoP (RTD_BLACKHOLE) |
Specific BGP Communities
Specific BGP communities are custom values unique to a network or AS, used to convey routing policies and actions tailored to the network's needs. These communities can control route propagation, influence path selection, or manage traffic engineering. The interpretation of specific BGP communities depends on the agreement between network operators and their BGP peers or customers.
Note: Hats Network implements large BGP communities.
