Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between standard and Large BGP communities?

Standard communities (RFC 1997) are 32-bit values split as a 16-bit ASN and a 16-bit value, which cannot fit 32-bit (4-byte) ASNs. Large BGP Communities (RFC 8092) are 96-bit values formatted as ASN:Action:Parameter, which easily accommodates 32-bit ASNs along with detailed policy options.

How does RTBH protect a network from DDoS attacks?

Remote Triggered Blackholing (RTBH) routes DDoS traffic destined to a victim host to a null/discard interface at the ISP boundary, discarding the malicious packets before they reach your link or exhaust transit bandwidth.

Why are my BGP community tags not appearing at my peers?

BGP routing daemons do not send communities by default. You must explicitly configure 'send-community' (Cisco) or set 'keep none' (Juniper) on the BGP neighbor session configuration.

What is the role of Local Preference in BGP path selection?

Local Preference is a primary routing path selector evaluated first in the BGP route selection process. Higher values are preferred. Using community tags allows you to modify the upstream carrier's Local Preference for your announced subnets.
