Is anyone on here using extended communities, and if so what are your policies.
Given this seems to be the standard that most lean towards.

	IXASN:IXASN - Send prefixes to all other route-server participants
	IXASN:PEERASN - Send prefix to only route-server participant with specific ASN
	0:PEERASN - Do not send prefix to route-server participant with specific ASN
	0:0 - Do not echo prefix to any other route-server participants.

I was hoping to try and adopt some sort of standard to help make it easier for international peers to jump on board if they were to build down here.
However under juniper you can not match an extended community with 0:asnhere, or origin:0:asnhere 

Just curious what others are doing.

Cheers
Joe
