Some principles

• Routes imported from a bgp session are tagged with a community according to its origin.
• Routes exported to a bgp session are filtered using communities based on their orgin. FIXME: origin/destination ?
  • Examples:
  • Routes exported to a transit operater session only contain properly tagged ones (members/clients/internal).
  • Routes exported to a member session are all Internet routes (full-view).
