Hi, NANOGers.

] BGP community strings like CW implemented a month ago. If only all of my
] upstreams would have this type of BGP Community string my life would be made
] easier. Here is the customer release letter from from CW dated Januray 23,
] 2004:
UUNET/MCI has had that capability since circa 2002, I believe. Several
ISPs borrowed heavily from the following page to create similar services.

Thanks,
Rob.
