1. Introduction

  This document describes the BGP communities which are used by Tiscali 
  International Network (AS3257). These communities can be used for their 
  pure informational value and/or to modify the behaviour of the routing 
  service provided by AS3257.

2. Egress Communities

  These are communities which are relayed from AS3257 to their peers.

  2.1 Origin Communities

    2.1.1 General

      3257:4000       tags a TINet customer route.

3. Ingress Communities

  Communities which are relayed from the peers to AS3257.

  Prior to activation of community announcement, it is needed to send an

  session(s) and intended communities to ensure proper activation on the
  TINET equipment.
