COMMUNITY SUPPORT

====================================================

Important:
TIX Route Server does NOT prepend it's AS by default!

====================================================

To influence this policy you have these communities
available:

1. Prepend TIX AS8235 to *all* TIX-Peers

set community 8235:65500

2. Prepend TIX AS8235 to *selected* TIX-Peer N-times

set community 6550N:AAAA

(N can be 1 to 3)

3. Do *not* announce to TIX-Peers with AS AAAA

set community 8235:AAAA

4. Do *not* announce to *ANY* TIX-Peers

set community 8235:65535

===================================================

TIX set's these communities to identify from where
it learned a route:

1. From which TIX-Peer AAAA the route has been learned

8235:AAAA

2. From which TIX-Peer Class the route has been learned

8235:65000 ISP-Peers
8235:65010 Enterprise-Peers

By default routes from one class are *not* announced
to the other classes

===================================================

AS8235 announces the network CH-TIX 194.42.48.0/24

===================================================

For direct access to the .CH secondary nameserver
it is mandatory to peer with AS8235
